There’s an amazing eyeglasses store around the corner from my apartment in NYC’s Union Square called Moscot… I love going into the store some weekends just to try on their amazing selection of vintage, plastic-framed glasses (I heard the costume designer of Mad Men picks up the characters’ glasses here!). I recently scored some tips from THE Dr. Harvey Moscot of Moscot Eyewear. Read on for his advice!

Seventeen recently got the chance to meet famous American designer Tommy Hilfiger
and ask him a few questions. Turns out Tommy never went to school to
become a fashion designer — he taught himself everything he knows, and
opened his own clothing shop called “People’s Place” while he was still
in high school! Here’s a little more about the icon….

Seventeen: What were you like when you were 17, and where
did you get your inspiration from when you first began designing for
your own shop, People’s Place?

You know when you’re walking down the street and you see a girl with
an awesome haircut and you’re instantly jealous? Well, if you’re too
scared to ask her where she gets her hair cut, you can still find out —
virtually! BellaSugar just posted a cool blog about this new hair Website that allows you to
search for the haircut you’re looking for, in the city you want to get
it cut in. Um, amazing?! Mopshots.com has tons of pics of real girls with cool hair, and it not only says
where they get their hair done, but the name of the stylist who does it
for them!

We are obsessed. Will you try it out? Click “read more” to leave a comment!

Fashion lovers! I’m soooo excited that I discovered these AWESOME shoes at topshop.com! When I saw them I could have jumped out of my chair!
I absolutely looove the daring styling of these. The Luxie-Metal Chain Sandal is totally for the edgy fashionista who isn’t afraid to stand out.
Though they are a little pricey ($145), they’re definitely worth the
splurge.

Having been in California for the past week, I’ve done the the majority of my shopping online. One of my favorite designers
is Charlotte Ronson. After going to her show for fall ‘09, I was hooked.
I did my research and she did a line called I HEART RONSON, which is a
capsule collection for JCPenney. I knew what this meant: cute stuff at
great prices! I found a very girly floral dress for spring, which I plan to wear now with tights, and then with a
leather jacket when it gets warmer. The dress is $29.99. Hello, steal!

Everyone from professional sports figures to the girl on the treadmill next to you can agree on one thing: Under Armour makes some of the best active wear on the market. The light fabrics used for their clothes make almost any kind of activity enjoyable. That’s why I was so excited to test their new line of sneakers. If they were even half as comfortable as the clothing, it would be a great run! Lucky for me, they completely lived up to the Under Armour reputation! The first mile flew by as the heavily-cushioned soles swiftly brought my feet into the second mile. As those who run competitively will tell you, it is important to change sneakers every few months, as a safety precaution. I’m still loving my cute, pink pair, but they certainly won’t be the last ones I own! Women’s UA Revenant, $120. underarmour.com
