"It" Bag

It’s not monogrammed or made of leather – and it’s not plastic either, this season’s “It” Bag is Anya Hindmarch’s eco-friendly “I’m not a plastic bag.” The tote, meant for trips to the grocery store, or even the mall, launched on April 25 at famous UK grocery store, Sainsbury’s. Brit celeb fans like Lily Allen, Keira Knightley and supermodel Lily Cole have been spotted sporting the designer canvas bag.
The US goes through 100 billion plastic bags each year and it takes years for each bag to break down, so carrying canvas makes sense. Get yours in June at Holt Renfrew for $18.

Other “It” Bags
While owning an Anya Hindmarch bag is impressive, the point here is to help the environment. So if you can’t get your hands on the “I’m not a plastic bag,” why not check out President’s Choice’s new Reusable Shopper? Canada’s greenest shopping bag is made of recycled plastic bottles and costs $0.99.
Or buy a plain canvas sac (check out sites like ecobags.com to buy a whole bunch for very little money) and personalize it with paint, iron-on transfers, ribbons etc. Basically, any bag will do as long as you’re not accepting the plastic ones offered to you at the store.

“It” Bonus: Eco-conscious shops like Lululemon and many grocery stores will give you a small discount for bringing your own bag!

"It" Girl

Mandy Moore
Maybe she never achieved the kind of wild success that Britney and Christina did, but Mandy’s also baby-free, has a full head of hair and is far from dirrty. Plus, don’t you kind of wish you were friends with her?
The new issue of Flare Magazine totally highlights how down to earth she is – and not in a sickly sweet Walk to Remember way. “I wear a size 6 to an 8, and I’d rather represent for that. It may not look like [today’s] ideal woman, but it’s a normal size,” she says in the story.
Her new album, Wild Hope, is nothing like the bubblegum pop she used to churn out, she has three cool-sounding movies coming out in 2007 and she got to play Adam Grenier’s love interest on the “It” show Entourage. The best part is that she's probably not wildly hoping to ever be wildly successful.

"It" Gloss

Rimmel Underground
Light Beam Lip Gloss
Rimmel’s new lip gloss will light up your life, literally. Okay, it will at least light up your lips when you’re trying to apply it in some dark nightclub – or will illuminate the potentially cute guy dancing next to you, or the inside of your purse when you can’t find your keys. The brilliant design not only features an LED light on the inside of the cap, there’s also a mirror on the side of the tube so you can check your makeup, your teeth after dinner and spy on the action over your shoulder.
The actual lip gloss, of course, is pretty cool too. The non-sticky formula comes in six wet-shine shades like “After Hours,” a cherry hue and “Strobe Light,” a glittery silver.

"It" Cover

Cover girls Paris and Nicole, partners in crime
Yes, yes, we all know that Paris Hilton is virtually a jailbird – but when Harper’s Bazaar cast Miss Hilton and her sassy socialite best-friend -turned-nemesis-turned-best-friend again, Nicole Richie, as cover girls for their June issue, Paris was still a free woman. According to WWD.com, the pair will appear in a photo shoot as jewellery thieves who have a run-in with the law. The June issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits stands May 22.

"It" Spot

New Erogenous Zone:
The Collar Bone
The New York Times has declared the clavicle the new hot spot to expose. Like the pop star herself, Britney’s bare belly fell out of fashion ages ago (and no one’s buying into the bare scalp look). Boobs are always in, as are legs, but no new parts stepped into the sexy spotlight. Until now. The Times reports that revealing your collar bone lets you show off that you’re in shape without showing it all off, especially since this summer’s staple – the dress – tends to be on the voluminous side. If you can’t show off your tight tummy or toned abs, what can you display?
Look for generous x-shaped halter-necks that frame your clavicles, or opt for generous square- or round-necks that highlight your lovely décolleté without too much cleavage.
