Now that there’s money to be made in comics, everyone in Hollywood is obsessed with them—“The Spirit” (starring Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson) and “Watchmen” are due out in the fall. If you’re a comic geek girl at heart, show your support with MIA Paddington rain boots—all in rubber with comic strips emblazoned across them from toe to top-- $70; shopintuition.com.

Both Liv Tyler and Gwyneth Paltrow have traded in their signature, long locks for a more textured bob cut that falls just above the shoulder. An alternative to the pin-straight coif is to tousle the layered mane to fall in cascades. To get that effect, add a dab of Jonathan Silky Dirt Shine & Define Creme ($28; sephora.com) to hair when still damp and then create ringlets by twisting one-inch sections of hair around your index finger and holding for 30 seconds for each piece. The, let those ringlet dry naturally and then shake out hair. Now, go pick up the kids at peewee yoga.

Stars have always loved, well, the stars. Now, Donna Karan has taken the astro-craze one step farther with her new constellation purses. Nicole Richie and Chloe Sevigny have been spotted carrying the Modern Leo bag -- even though that’s not their sign. Um, is that a bad sign? If you want one that aligns with your stars, check out the collection--including Aries, Virgo, Libra (see right) and Pisces, ($1,895 to $2,295; neimanmarcus.com).
