Like we mentioned the other day, there’s no shortage of fashion based reality television shows hitting networks this fall. Project Runway, America’s Next Top Model and even (in some ways) The Hills, set off a spate of imitators and as fashion embraces the internet and becomes more accessible there’s an increasing demand for an inside look at this seemingly glamorous industry. Some shows, like Joe Zee’s All on the Line, really do document reality. Real designers meet with real buyers and editors for truthful discussions about the very real future of their brands while others, like The Hills, put real people in contrived situations, throw in some guidance and in-front-of-the-camera advice and just let the cameras roll. But when the whole thing is fake—or the most important parts—do you even want to watch? Fashion Star, the Project Runway-like competition Elle Macpherson’s hosting on NBC, features a panel of judges that includes reps from both H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue. They’re supposed to be buyers, and the show is calling them buyers, but Nicole Christie is actually the Director of Communications for H&M in North America and Terron E. Schaefer is the Executive Vice President of Saks—you don’t have to work in fashion to know that a buyer and a marketing officer do very different things. (The third buyer, Caprice Willard, really is a buyer for Macy’s.) Do you care if so little of the show is based in reality? Or will you watch anyway?

If you had a clothing line, who would be your dream customer? E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic is launching a clothing line with HSN and she’s aiming high, like Gwyneth Paltrow high. Rancic tells WWD, “She has great style that’s not fussy and that’s what we’re going to do.” The collection’s being produced right now and will include 10 to 12 pieces when its introduced in January, including three handbags—everything will cost less than $50. She mentions a “deconstructed leather jacket,” which sounds like something that would be torn apart on the red carpet (which is where one usually sees Rancic), but we’ll withhold judgment until next year.

Alexander McQueen’s will was made public last night. The late British designer left most of his nearly $27 million fortune to his charity, Sarabande, and said he hoped they would consider putting a large chunk of that money toward scholarships to his alma mater, Central St. Martin’s. McQueen left each of his five siblings a little more than $400,000 and around $100,000 to his nieces, nephews and godson. That same amount was also set aside to care for his four dogs, on top of which McQueen donated around $165,000 dollars to four different charities, including the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, another animal welfare charity and the London Buddhist Center. There’s been a bit of outrage over the amount left to his dog, which is both inappropriate and uncalled for given the millions he left to charity and the expense of raising four dogs, but McQueen’s nothing if not divisive!

- So you know how much we love the Kardashians, right? Khloe, Kim and Kourtney always seem to have so much fun and they're the types of sisters every girl wants to have. Especially when you need to borrow your sister's clothes!
Besides following all the crazy family drama, one of the biggest reasons why we love to watch "Keeping up with the Kardashians" is because we get a glimpse of these girl's amazing closets! But who's wardrobe do you perfer? Maybe you love Kourtney Kardashian, who seems to have embraced the 70's with wide pants and big sunglasses? Or are you a huge fan of jackets with big shoulder pads, just like Kim?
We want to know! Which Kardashian do you think has the best style?

Photo: Shopbop Rachel Zoe’s collection hits Shopbop on Monday and she’s so excited for the launch she made a video. It’ll offer a behind the scenes look at the making of her debut collection and after, a live question and answer period with Zoe herself. The collection’s been a long time coming, and hugely anticipated by fans and customers alike, so we asked Zoe what it was like to finally see it in person, after all the blood, sweat and tears she put into making it happen. Her first thought? “I can’t believe this is real! It’s been a life time in the making— such a dream come true!” she said. “I still cant believe its my name on the label. After all that, the next thing I thought was how great this collection is because it really fits into any lifestyle. The pieces can be mixed and matched for a seriously glamorous evening or casual, but chic afternoon. I really hope everyone loves it as much as I do.” Our office’s favorite look from Zoe’s collection is the skinny white suit—it’s our collective dream red carpet outfit—so we asked Zoe for tips on pulling it off. “The key to pulling off any look is confidence and good tailoring! I especially love this suit paired with a simple white blouse, like the Natalie tie collar from the collection,” she said. “And the camel suede Aubrey bootie!” The video will premiere on Shopbop on August 1st, but click through for our exclusive preview!

ElleGirl- We’ve heard celebrity after celebrity and makeup artist after makeup artist extol the benefits of fake eyelashes. They plump, thicken, and lengthen your lashes and call attention to your shining eyes in a way plain old mascara simply can’t. Paper eyelashes, however, take the whole fake-eyelashes thing to a completely new level. They won’t just call attention to your eyes, they’ll have people stopping and plain-out gaping at your peepers.

- It may just be the trickiest tool in your makeup bag: the eyeliner. The problem? We still can’t stop buying it! There are just too many variations and shades for us to go sans liner. But the question always arises: do I need eyeliner, and how do I apply it? It appears to be a cakewalk, right? Glide liner on upper and lower lashes, bam, done. Well, not quite.
