In honor of No Doubt's long-awaited reunion, I've decided to compile a gallery of Gwen's bests looks throughout the years. Stefani is and always will be one of our many style inspirations/girl crushes here at The Squeeze. We loved her then in bikini tops and fishnets, and we love her now in topknots and Stella McCartney. Our love for Gwen is eternal.

Also, it only makes sense to include my favorite No Doubt song, which gained extra cool points for being featured in the best motion picture of all time, Clueless.

Best news I've heard all month (well, besides No Doubt making a come back)...but anyways: Lana del Rey will be the face for H&M's fall ad campaign.

The above images were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. "The mood is very L.A. noir," said Donald Schneider, H&M’s creative director. 

"The theme of the campaign is a modern and feminine woman with a soft attitude," said Chloe Bowers, H&M PR Manager. "Curves and waist are important in autumn’s silhouette with a focus on knitwear and tweed. The colors include powder tones and accessories in wine red." We dig it! A second campaign is set to launch in the winter, and I'm predicting more heavy black eye liner, pouty lips and big hair. But that's pretty much a given. Also, look out for a mini-film on September 19th featuring Lana and a cover of "Blue Velvet."

Sometimes Kim Kardashian is really annoying, but we actually happen to love Kimye. 

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke..."

I can't stop thinking about Christian Louboutin's Unbout Illusion pump. And apparently, neither can anyone else because they are sold out everywhere. When Jessica or Steve make a knockoff similar pair, I pledge to buy every color in multiples.

No one can possibly understand my latest obsession: camo jackets. It's getting so bad that I now dream about them. I imagine myself in a dainty floral dress with a tough military jacket over to counteract the femininity and piles neon accessories.

Our favorite member of The Simple Life is making waves in the industry. First, her role as judge on Fashion Star and now Nicole Richie will launch a capsule collection for Macy's this fall. The collection will be separate from her two established lines "House of Harlow 1960" and "Winter Kate" and will reflect Richies personal style: bohemian chic with bold prints, all inspired by music. 

"Women are wearing so many different hats these days. We are evolving. Not just working, but creating. This collection has a strong mix of masculine and feminine: printed chiffon mixed with faux leathers. I focused on the details, from the zipper pulls to the buttons," Richie told WWD.

The 24 - 30 piece collection will launch in select Macy's and online in mid September. Will YOU be camping out for Nicole's new line?

We love GIRLS. For many reasons, a few being the following:

1. Because Lena Dunham is amazing. And we wish we were that amazing.

2. Because we love awkwardness - you know, like those moments that are so awkward that you actually feel embarrassed for the other person, but then you realize it's a fictional TV show and the situation is not real...but you still feel incredibly awkward? (See: every time Hannah has sex. Which goes directly back to reason number 1 listed above.)

3. Because there's finally a show that we can actually relate to - and not just aspire to relate to (Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Real Housewives of New Jersey. Just kidding about that last one...or am I?) I mean, really, who hasn't dated a guy who is now gay? Who hasn't googled "diseases that come from no condom for one second?" Who hasn't been the accidental receiver of a totally creepy and inappropriate dick-pic?

The truth is, real girls are usually slobs when no one is around. Real girls have holes in their underwear. Real girls have patchy eyebrows. Real girls want to be glamorous, but 9 times out of 10, we just aren't. And when it comes to clothing, real girls have champagne taste and beer money.  So that's why the show's costume head Jenn Rogien found a way to keep the girls looking "fantastic, yet realistic to the show" and found herself wondering, "Can we find it at Loehmann's?" What a great mantra. 

And screw all those naysayers who think the show "lacks diversity," "degrades sex" and isn't portraying "real girls properly." #HATERS

No, this is not a dream - Topshop has made a screen print tank featuring a pic of Rihanna from her "We Found Love" video. It is actually a nightmare because it is sold out and not even offered on the US Topshop site. WHY GOD?!?!?!? I haven't been this disappointed since the Jason Wu x Target collection. If Topshop NYC doesn't have it when I visit next week, I will seriously be crushed. I will slip into a state of depression from which I will never fully recover.

P.S. I love how the website's item description reads, "Photographic tank with photographic motif of a girl wearing a headscarf."

We will always and forever be obsessed with Rihanna. And we especially love her as a "fiery heroine in a passionate affair with a salsa dancer" wearing recent designs by Versace, Balmain and our pesonal fave Jil Sander.
