"Music and fashion are two of the ways I really get to express myself," says actress-singer Selena Gomez.

The young brunette beauty is helping Sears kick off the back-to-school shopping season by appearing in the retailer’s Fall ‘09 ad campaign — she rocks everything from skater gear to pop star-inspired separates.

On the music-fashion connection, Gomez explains, “How I am feeling on any given day really influences the type of music I listen to and how I dress and that’s one of the reasons I am working with Sears, because they have such a wide variety of different fashions, you can always find the styles that fit your own personal look.”

Our friends over at sister site Slashfood aptly attended last night’s NYC movie premiere of “Julie & Julia,” starring Meryl Streep as culinary legend Julia Child and Amy Adams as Julie Powell, a struggling secretary who sets out to cook all 524 recipes from Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. 1″ cookbook.

Powell blogged and wrote a book — which half inspired the film — about her experience.

For inside scoop on whether the A-list actresses actually know their way around a kitchen, details from the catered after party (two words: Spotted Pig!) and most importantly, the tastiest looks of the night, click here.

We’re hungry just thinking about it. Satisfy your craving when the movie opens in theaters on August 7.

Bon appétit!

Alexa Chung isn’t just busy fulfilling her host duties for MTV’s “It’s On with Alexa Chung,” the British “it” girl is keeping up with her modeling gigs as the face of DKNY Jeans‘ Fall 2009 campaign.

Shot by Scott Schuman, the same street-style photographer that captured Hilary Duff’s new Femme for DKNY Jeans line, the ads feature Chung looking quite the NYC fashionista (right) in a belted black trench coat, black leather pants and black clutch.

The 25-year-old star replaces another Brit, Daisy Lowe, as the new face of the brand. (Not to worry, Lowe is doing just fine, recently landing a gig for Anna Sui.)

There were early worries that MTV’s U.S. audience might not take to Chung’s dry British humor, but it appears the transported Londoner is holding her own just fine.

Okay, your reaction was probably something like…”What?! How about under $50?” kind of close, or something like it? Well, I know $200 is steep these days, but if you’re planning on investing money into a handbag, a nice one at that, you will unfortunately have to pay the price. Yes, yes, we’ve gone over this a million times before. I won’t try to convince you anymore of this. Instead, I will show you some great bags for under $200…just as I promised.  I guess everyone loves a deal because the first handbag I eyed on Nordstrom.com, a Steve Madden Crossbody Drawstring bag was already out of stock! It must have been it’s reasonable price of $180, a steal for colorblocked butter leather…oh well, we shall say farewell to this and move on, there’s plenty more where that came from.

All right, some “rockstar” ruffles never hurt I guess, and plus I haven’t picked any Betsey Johnson goods in a while. I do love the color of this satchel…I’m always a sucker for olive green. The ruffles are fun, I just wish it were a different shape is all. I prefer over the shoulder bags always. I have a secret fear of leaving behind a bag I have to carry on my arm or with my hand. Shoulder is best, but this one’s still pretty cute.

The ruffles are snake embossed on this bag. This one should turn some heads!

Betsey Johnson ‘Rockstar Ruffle’ Satchel $179.90

Now this next bag is one I REALLY like. It’s not only a better price, but the design is obscure yet drawing.

I love this Marc by Marc tote bag. A multicolored backdrop with little white clouds here and there makes this tote funky yet almost a little classic looking. Not sure if I’d use this in the fall or winter…probably not, but it would be perfect to start using again come February and keep using through the end of September. $117.60 is a high price for cotton canvas, but just by taking one look at this bag you know you are paying a higher sale price for the design and label. How can you resist?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Women’s Locket Pocket Big Tote, $117.60

So, this last one doesn’t qualify as a “handbag” officially, seeing as how it’s a mini pouch! But, I couldn’t resist this one.

How cute is this little zipper pouch! It’s meant to strap onto a larger See by Chloe satchel bag, which is not under $200 so is not included in this post, BUT it is the best shade of mustard yellow I’ve ever seen and of course I fell in love with it because it says “Dance or Die.” PERFECT! This is my new theme in life. It even has a little record player at the very bottom that seems to be playing out the words. The small graphic design is brilliant, and I would splurge on this and use it as a going out, bar hopping ID and lipstick bag. It seems to be just the right size for this, and strapping around my wrist as I dance the night away…

See by Chloe Dance or Die Small Pouch $66.50
