Just as quickly Khloe Kardashian defended her new relationship with Rashad McCants, Khloe updated her blog with news that it's a wrap!



In Khloe's words...

Hey guys. I wanted you all to be the first to hear the news that as of last night Rashad and I are no longer together. Relationships are hard enough as is when you live in the same city, and he’s in a different city everyday for games. Our time together was just so limited because of both of our schedules that we decided it is best not to be in a committed relationship. The last seven months have been great and we will definitely remain close friends. [Khloe Kardashian Blog]

Well damn at the long distance bit and better luck next time, Khloe???

Fergie, Eva Mendes, Hilary Duff, and Halle Berry were all seen with this Cartier "Marcello" tote which also goes by Cartier Marcello de Cartier bag. (Try saying that three times fast, lol!) The best part of this trendy bag is the signature double C logo on the front.



According to the Cartier online boutique, the bag comes in three sizes: small for $1,000, medium for $1,220, and large for $1,800! So this bag may gain new life on the arms of celebrities because Hilary and Eva had their bags last Fall.

Moving right along....

Newly Calvin Klein brand face Eva appeared on the November 2008 cover edition of "Harper's Bazaar" magazine. The cover was for the Australian verison of the popular fashion publication. Eva spoke about her sense of style during the interview. "I try not to stand out. My style can be a little kooky, but I don’t want to be known for how I dress. I’ve made a conscious decision to stay away from dresses that make me stand out in a ‘fashiony’ way. I certainly love fashion, but I want to be known for my work. Not for being controversial on the red carpet.” [quote via Celeb Diry Laundry]



Halle went shopping at Target..and that's what I call smart shopping. The new mom was also spotted on her way to her yoga class...and so that explains how she peeled off the post-pregnancy pounds.

Yves Saint Laurent F/W '08 round-toe platforms were THE shoe to rock as Beyonce, Brandy, Solange, and Melody Thornton can contest to. Naomi Campbell and Christina Aguilera also wore this stylish shoe before as well. Maybe these shoes are THE item of the year?? Look out Gucci & Pierre Hardy!




UPDATE: Another hot shoe worn during the Fashion Rocks hoopla were these Gucci "Babouska" open-toe studded sandals as seen on Fergie, Mandy Moore, and Ciara. Isn't this look very much edgy? Leave it to Ciara to wear the style in gold with her favorite bag...



And yes Ciara and Fergie have on the same gold chain belt, lol! As for who wore what at Fashion Rocks, visit Fashion Week Daily & Mahalo Fashion!
