Celebrity Style: Brittany Snow
Good girl, bad girl. You have to admire a girl who can do a fashion double take. Though risky, Brittany took a chance in her black PVC mini, white tank and killer Jimmy Choo studded heels at the Teen Choice Awards Pre-Party.
PVC Shower Curtains = Bad For Your Health
Air pollution affects our health, but most of us think about the air outside being polluted - not the air in our homes. There are many silent culprits polluting our air from odorless radon to stinky off-gassing PVCs (polyvinyl chloride). It seems that PVCs are in just about everything from household items like vinyl flooring, vinyl shower curtains, and children’s toys to beauty products like perfumes, nail polish, and lotions.

Get in Gear: Eco-Friendly Mats
Who wants to do their Downward Facing Dog on PVC (polyvinyl chloride)? It's a toxic plastic that's used to make many sticky mats. According to Greenpeace, PVC products that are being disposed of within a few years of use, are causing serious waste problems since these and other plastics don't biodegrade quickly.How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Moss
Kate looks more like she's going to an S&M convention than to the Glastonbury Festival in her PVC leggings. Editorially speaking, I think PVC leggings can look very high-fashion and edgy. But when worn on the streets, or to a music festival in this case, they can look downright scary.

Cheryl Cole Beats the Cold in Cute Coat
Cheryl Cole looked cosy in her bright coat as she made her way to a hotel in central London today, following the duffle coat casual style of Lily Allen and Britney Spears. Glam as she is though, Cheryl also wore PVC leggings (see FabUK's trend alert) under her wintery coat, which she manages to pull off on her slim frame, although some think she has got a little too skinny this year. Cheryl also appeared with her bandmates on Fiona Phillips' last GMTV this morning, as she gets back to her day job with Girls Aloud.
Trend Alert: PVC Leggings
PVC leggings aren't a new trend but they're a left over item from the fetish trend from last autumn which have carried though to this season. They have been spotted on celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic. From Kate Moss at Glastonbury 2007, to Mary Kate Olsen, to Rihanna at the Much Music awards they're always a great statement item.
From PVC to Denim, Kate Makes It Cool
Fashion Icon Kate made quite the statement at the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend trudging through the mud in PVC Pants , but cleaned up and casual back in London yesterday she actually looked pretty great. Not only that, but despite his creepy/sweet published journals, she and Pete almost qualify as cute these days. Almost.

Shingai Shoniwa of The Noisettes always gets a bit experimental with her wardrobe and today was no exception. She attended the 2009 Q Awards in a revealing top with knotted detail and a PVC mini skirt with peep toe heels. She rounded off the look with a statement necklace and fruit head piece!
