Our favorite women’s street style look at the PROJECT NY show? This red hot combo of a crayon-colored hat and cut-off shredded hem shorts, paired with black spike-studded boots. The American flag in the background was a lucky coincidence.

1. Mother Denim has released a new style—it’s called the Prep trouser, which comes in key fits the Looker, the Curfew, or the Crop Runway. Grab them for $185.
2. Speaking of new styles, Joe’s Jeans has also released a new future-best-seller: red drawstring denim shorts with a front lace-up feature.
3. Jessica Alba demonstrates an amazing sense of color palette coordination in this outfit, utilizing a pair of Nobody Denim Mod skinny jeans in Amber. It’s so rare that celeb shots are actually stylish! Well played, J.
4. GQ has a four page article up on the history of the menswear blogging movement (for which their records date back about 12 years).
5. Honeysuckle has been ousted as the favorite color of the people (and more importantly, the fashion world). Last week, Pantone named Tangerine Tango the 2012 Color Of The Year. We guess Maria Menounos knew this already.

Spending a day out with your kids is just another opportunity to be looking red hot! That’s how these two smokin’ hot mamas roll. Victoria Secret Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was seen in a pair of Wildfox Couture Red Friday Night Shorts and LeAnn Rimes was seen rocking the J Brand Cut Offs in Red during family outings recently. They both seemed to keep it casual with their simple tops and flats, but given the fact that they are both muy caliente we’re having some trouble deciding who takes the cake. What do you think?
