There's no denying that superstar Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lebron James loves New York. The first tip-off to Clevelanders was the infamous wearing of the New York Yankees cap at an Indians playoff game. Since then, he's wasted no time reminding us all of just how much he loves NY, all while denying the ever-rampant rumors that he will be packing up and heading to the Big Apple when his contract in Cleveland expires at the end of this season. Leaked photos of an upcoming release of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low shoes send a clear message of love for NY, not the home of Rock n Roll or the town that supported him since his pre-NBA days.

This season, Nike also revealed the Nike Air Max LeBron VII Hardwood Classic edition shoes, which to those unfamiliar with Cavs history and their former colors, might look like Knicks-themed shoes. But nope, the old Cavs used to sport jerseys that were bright blue with the orange block-letter Cavs, and since Lebron actually wore them with the old throwback jersey, little else was read into it.

2009 has been a big year for the The Beatles with the launch of their remastered albums, The Beatles Rock Band video game, and now, a designer clothing collection inspired by the band. Comme des Garçons collection launches on Black Friday, November 27 at CDG's London and Tokyo stores and will expand internationally next year. As always, this gear doesn't come cheap but will likely have a huge appeal to Beatles fanatics.

The collection includes a line of 10 PVC travel bags, 4 button-down shirts, and five Beatles concert-style t-shirts. On the low-end of the price scale, the t-shirts start at $115. The most expensive piece in the collection is an $860 PVC bag. If you're wondering why the bags are made of PVC and not leather, it's because a stipulation to not use leather was a part of the deal.

Designer Rei Kawakubo has access to all of the Beatles iconography -including logos and photos - thanks to a deal with Apple Corp, but said that she didn't want to make "any unnecessary items that may in time come to resemble a Beatles sourvenir shop." To achieve this goal, she took the iconic Apple log and put it alongside her signature polka dots to make "strong, conceptual" items.

It's getting to be crunch time. Halloween is just one week away now, and if you haven't already figured out a costume for your children, it's time to get started. Sure, you could probably pick up one up at your local Kmart, but let's be honest - they look and feel cheap. You could make your own, but time is running out. The best solution can be found at your local Children's Place store, where you'll find a great selection of costumes for children, including babies. They're super high quality and affordable.

Available in sizes 0-6 months all the way up to children's size 8, the Children's Place has costumes for both boys and girls. Choose from monsters, monkeys, giraffes, genies, witches, flowers, and pirates, as well as other Halloween themed outfits.

Costume prices range from $22.50 to $29.50 at regular price, but even better bargains are to be had now. All Halloween costumes and clothes are now marked down with a 50% price reduction. You can't beat that.

Express your individual style with a t-shirt that you won't see five other people wearing as you walk down the street, or head out for a night on the town. Designed by Howard Steenwyk, a former art director for the Los Angeles Dodgers and an LA native, Howard's House of Fine Art now has available an impressive collection of t-shirts.

Included in the collection, which launched in May 2009, are nine designs:

• Beverly: Our perception of beauty, its symbols and status in America.
• Uncle Sam: This symbol is approachable and ominous at the same time. Its ambiguous statement about America could be worn by a left wing liberal or a redneck truck driver.
• NYC: A symbol of hope or a country in decline?
• Was: Our country was built on revolution, and its part of our nature to consistory recreates ourselves. The first 3 letters of Washington is was.
• T-Bone: This image represents everything un-pc, being a pirate, and being a piece of meat as something desirable.
• Traffic Web: LAs architectural highlight is a parking lot.
• Lincoln: Are we maintaining the qualities that made America great or killing them?

If you're like me, you probably have sandals in a rainbow of colors to match various outfits during the warmer months of the year. Of those you probably have a favorite pair or two that you'd love to wear all the time, but just can't because they don't always match your clothes. To solve this fashion dilemma, I'd like to introduce you to the coolest new sandals available: Switchflops.

Switchflops are comfortable flip-flop style sandals that come with interchangeable straps. The sandals range in price from $35 to $39 depending on the style and come with two different strap sets. Additional straps can be ordered for just $12.

They're great for taking along on a trip too, because bringing extra straps instead of extra footwear takes up far less space in your luggage. The straps are easily interchangeable, and are attached with strong, quality velcro.

This summer look your best with our selection of the best new products of the season. From your head to your toes, these beauty products will help you shine and look your best.

Nails:

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum

Friday is the Cleveland Indians' home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays. If you're heading down to the game, or out to your local mall to pick up some new fan gear to show off your Indians pride, there are some cool new products this year from Tessuta at the Indians Team Shop.

Tessuta was founded by a mother of two, Andrea Claster Greenspan, so that both girls and women could show their love for their home team - while still being fashionable. Already Tessuta can be found on 80 college campuses, and now this year are being introduced to the baseball world. Tessuta products will be sold in all major league ballparks, and official team shops.

Amongst the products available are: a memory board, two different purses, and a nice pillow. Each of the products features a unique woven design with the Indians' official logo. They range in price from $22.95 to $44.95.

To celebrate Opening Day, we're giving away one Tessuta game day bag, a set of Tessuta pillows, and a pink New Era Indians' cap to three lucky women. And men, we haven't forgotten about you. We've got two great New Era caps for men.

Female celebrities often given credit to their hidden super underwear for making their rear ends look good and their stomach's smooth and flat under their unforgiving couture gowns. And more often than not, it's Spanx they claim to wear. Created by founder Sara Blakely, Spanx has just launched a line of prettier shapewear - Haute Contour - and has revealed plans to expand the brand into a full clothing line.

According to Blakely, her company has been designing prototypes in "about three categories" of apparel for "up to two years". Other than that, however, she didn't reveal much about what the products might be, or even when they'll be out on store racks.

Jack Barakat, the amiable guitarist in the pop-punk quartet All Time Low has teamed up with Glamour Kills Clothing to release his own line aptly- named “JAGK.” The line was launched earlier this week on Jan. 20 and it's being exclusively sold only at the Glamour Kill’s web store www.glamourkills.com. Barakat worked closely with Owner/Head Designer Mark Capicotto to ensure that the line was made to fit the ideas that he had envisioned. The official release of the line includes three great items, which consist of two t-shirts and a hoodie. Be sure to check out JAGK at the Glamour Kills Clothing Web site, www.Glamourkills.com.
