<p>We weren't so into the denim, we loved the stars and stripes, and we realized that no matter how chic Karl's interpretation of the American flag might be, there are a select few who will shell out five grand for a tweed stars and stripes jacket.</p>

<p>Fortunately, designers everywhere jumped on the Americana bandwagon.  Unfortunately, most of the stuff they've made isn't so cute, but we're loving this swimsuit.</p>

<p>If, like us, you love to go all out for a holiday, you'll pair <a href="http://gojane.com/24216.html" target="_blank">it with red wedges, too</a>.  </p>

<p>It's $30, very patriotic, and probably the most flattering way to wear stripes. </p>

<p>We'd love to wear real Chanel to our 4th of July BBQ, but that's just so much less practical than couture.</p>]]>

<p><a href="http://www.forbes.com/businesswire/feeds/businesswire/2008/07/03/businesswire20080703005009r1.html" target="_blank">Over 1,000 people pieced together their own original outfits</a> onto teeny tiny little on-screen models for the catwalk, which was simulcast on Yahoo, and the winner turned out to be a 21-year old interior design student, Beau Fornillos.  </p>

<p>From what we can tell, the outfit isn't half bad, especially considering it was made with just the little design tool kit in the Sims 2 game.  </p>

<p>But really, is anyone else irked by what seems like <a href="http://fashionista.com/2008/06/is_the_new_video_games_and_bun.php" target="_blank">suddenly prominent cross over between fashion and video games</a>?  Or are we just waiting for a game that lets you design whatever you want then spits out the outfit via a printer in your closet?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="mabelline the colossal volum express mascara.jpg" src="http://fashionista.com/images/mabelline%20the%20colossal%20volum%20express%20mascara.jpg" width="174" height="131" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span>I justify the $24 price tag of Dior Show Black Out mascara because it's the only beauty product I buy regularly. </p>

<p>I don't even remember to put moisturizer on every morning which means I probably buy it once a year (I know, I know).  But I can't remember the last time I left the house, or even my room, without coats of Dior on my lashes.  It is, unfortunately, an obsession.</p>

<p>So when Natalie told me that Maybelline's newest mascara, The Colossal, allegedly rivaled my favorite Dior, while costing less than $8, I just laughed.  I've tried dozens of mascaras and nothing comes close to giving me the volume, length and mini-clumps, (no, I don't like perfect separation) like Dior.</p>

<p>But I just tried the Maybelline - and it pains me to say this after six years of paying $24 every few months - but it works. It works like Dior.</p>

<p>I don't know how many coats I used, because I usually just move the wand around until my eyelashes look sufficiently fake, but I didn't swipe on anymore than I normally do.  </p>

<p>The main difference is that The Colossal's waterproof - and Dior Show <em>Blackout </em>isn't. (Regular Dior Show comes in waterproof, but the Blackout version does not).  Waterproof mascara scares me, but most people like it better which might make it an advantage.  </p>

<p>I'm addicted to Dior's mascara, but if my current tube runs out before I get a new one, my lashes will be reassured by the neon yellow tube tucked into my vanity.</p>]]>

<p>We know this clip (lovingly unearthed and sent in by reader Modesto) is on the long side, but seriously watch it the whole way through  to kick off the long weekend properly.  </p>

But a few weeks ago, when we stopped a cute looking <a href="http://fashionista.com/2008/06/streetwalker_jump-her.php" target="_blank">streetwalker</a>, the brand was brought back to our attention - to our surprise, her outfit was from dELiAs. This got us thinking, maybe we could find something equally cute from this surprising source?  And to our incredulity, it wasn't even that hard! </p>

<p>Case in point: this <a href="http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=620&itemID=49639&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter="target="_blank">Safari style romper</a>. We're big fans of the romper for summer, and this one in particular is really doing something for us. Can you imagine anything more comfortable for summer than a short, loose, one-piece made entirely from linen? We can't. </p>

<p>Besides from looking extra comfy, we have already thought of about a hundred ways to accessorize this baby. We could totally picture it at the beach with a headscarf and flip-flops, or around the city in gladiators with a skinny brown belt cinching the waist. Plus at $34.50, we know this one's all fun. </p>
