Selena Gomez got inked up with a wrist tattoo last week, and we preeeeetty much flipped our ish. Not in, like, a bad way. The girl is 19 now and more than allowed to get some permanent body art. She could get a full SLEEVE if she wanted to! We're just intrigued, and frankly a little excited, that between the ink and the punky blue and purple hair, the squeaky clean Alex Russo of Wizards of Waverly Place is notably toughening up her image. We had originally reported that Sel went under the gun for a tiny black heart, but Selena told Access Hollywood at the Women in Film Pre-Oscar party on Friday night that she was actually drawn up with an itsy bitsy music note!

I'm OBSESSED with accessories. Like possibly in an unhealthy way. And if there's one label I come back to again and again (and proudly profess as my favorite *cough* dinosaur necklace *cough*), it's London's Tatty Devine. Launched in 1999, by friends and artistic duo Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine, Tatty Devine makes bold accessories designed around a theme. What started as a few strips of leather turned into makeshift cuffs has blossomed into collections including everything from guitar pick pins and name necklaces to potato chip earrings and hats in the shape of watermelon slices. You guys, their stuff is GAHHHMAZING. Also, they're totally a favorite of Jessie J and Girls' Generation and are featured regularly in Teen Vogue. And on top of having two London shops and a new concept store in the super kewl Selfridges store (with someone laser cutting necklaces to order!), they sell all of their pieces online and ship worldwide. We spoke with Tatty's Harriet Vine in London, and not only did she give us a peek into what went into making their spring 2012 collection, she gave us a sneak peek at their FALL 2012 collection inspired by spooky English gardens…

Since it's winter, and we just attended New York Fashion Week, which showcased the fall 2012 collections, we started to think to ourselves, "Even though none of these ensembles will be available until fall, can't we start wearing some of the trends now seeing as how it's the same temperature?" Well, of course the answer is obvious; it's a resounding hellz YES. And if we get even more specific, why not isolate the kewlest accessory trends at NYFW so we can start building the looks a little early? It's a no-brainer. (And we're zombies right now, so perf! BRAAAAINS.) Thus, here are our favorite accessory trends from the shows which you can start adopting onto your person immediately.

BELT IT UP

So, belts were everywhere during fashion week. Thick ones, thin ones, plastic ones, leather ones. The point is, get one and make sure it's interesting and/or long enough so you can loop-de-loop that sucker over itself. At Rag & Bone, dark oxblood belts where cinched over blanket coats, so grab a blanket, pilfer your BF's belt drawer, and go for it. Jenny Packham added thin belts to her Old Hollywood rockabilly gowns, and we love this idea for giving your prom dress some edge. At 3.1 Phillip Lim, belts were looped all ovah the place, and we're especially fond of this thick translucent white belt over a white shirt, layers of gray knits, and khaki pants.

Selena Gomez flaunts a new "J" ring.

We're less than 24 hours away from that annual eruption of hearts, flowers, plushy animals, and all pink everything. Well, here in Uncle Sam's United States, anyway—it's already Valentine's Day in Australia! And it seems our favorite pint-sized power couple (Justin Bieber + Selena Gomez 4EVA) is getting a head-start on the lovey-dovey festivities. Yes, it looks like our man Biebs may have taken a cue from Beyoncé and "put a ring on it." OK, not THAT kind of ring (do note that we're looking at a close-up of Sel's RIGHT hand, not the left), but a jewel-laden ring nonetheless.

Jersey Shore Snooki

If you blinked, you might have missed it! The brief guest appearance Snooki's sunglasses line made on tonight's episode of Jersey Shore that is. For a brief moment, Snooks sported these oversized shades beneath a padded trucker hat en route to her shift at the Shore Store. While her efforts on this particular day at the T-shirt shop wouldn't necessarily be considered "hard-working" by most, we beg to differ. Sure, girl did the dip (TWICE) with co-meatball Deena and landed herself in the middle of a stranger's bachelorette party, but that's just one perspective. If real life were confined to the storyline of this show, we'd agree with you 110 percent, but this Snooki by Nicole Polizzi cameo means she's nailing her other job: growing and promoting her personal brand and fashion empire.

BOO isn't just a word ghosts use when they want to frighten you; it's actually a term of endearment derived from the 18th century word "beau" and is used to describe a significant other. For jewelry designer and actor Waris Ahluwalia, the dapper don of the House of Waris, it's also the name of his latest jewelry collection. Debuting just in time for Valentine's Day, the "Boo" collection features gold necklaces, bracelets, and earrings intended to let you show your appreciation for your boo on your collarbone, wrist, or earlobes. The pieces will be available exclusively online at Moda Operandi and in-store at New York's Kirna Zabete and Miami's The Webster. Always a storyteller, be it through jeweled accessories, scarves, or in movies like The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and I Am Love, Waris asked a few of his creative friends and collaborators to produce short films entitled "You're my Boo" to go along with the launch. Lucky for us, we have an EXCLUSIVE one to show you!

valentine's day accessories hearts

We don't know about you, but we're not really into the whole dressing in all over red or pink on Valentine's Day. Not that we begrudge those who wish to shout their love spirit in color, mind you, we just sometimes feel we can celebrate in a more subtle way (like maybe just with a pint of ice cream, some festive bangle bracelets, and yet another viewing of The Notebook). Whether you're celebrating with a loved one, your pals, or in an independent who-cares-about-this-holiday (but maybe I do still kind of care?) sort of way, here are some Valentine's Day-inspired accessories to get into the heart pumping holiday spirit.

LOVE HEARTS AND TINY KISSES

We're big fans of this Jonathan Adler Pink Heart Sunglasses Case which recalls vintage Lolita and a happy place in retro Palm Springs where there is sunshine and the possibility of love. These NW3 Lips Earrings are cute on their own and don't even need a holiday to accompany them on your ears. Pair 'em with an all black outfit and a stack of ASOS Neon Love Rings. The Kate Spade Meet Your Match bangle is also subtle and able to be worn year-round. But if you want to be more overt and put LOVE around your neck like a tattoo on an arm sleeve, we suggest the Tatty Devine Enamel Love Necklace. Need more ideas? Right this way!

christian louboutin capsule bag

When it comes to shoes, Christian Louboutin is king. His sky-high confections regularly trod Hollywood red carpets, not to mention tip out fashion editors worldwide. Here in New York, it's impossible to stroll past either of his uptown or downtown boutiques without stopping to peek at the dazzling creations in the window (nor the droves of ladies inside trying them on). And after 20 glorious years in the business, he is launching a Capsule Collection of handbags. Yes, aside from designing beautifully made shoes, often with a touch of whimsy (who can forget those insane paw and hoof shoes he created last year?), Louboutin also constructs jaw-dropping handbags that toe the line between nighttime chic and flamboyant statement. With this new Capsule Collection he has topped himself by introducing a super fun and totally meta "Pilule" bag, which is in the shape of an actual capsule.

madonna accessories

As you might already know, the Queen of Pop, aka Madonna, is performing at this Sunday's Super Bowl. This is completely major for the following reasons: A) because she's still performing like a PRO after all of these decades, B) she is going to perform during a football game of all events, and C) she will be debuting a new song off her forthcoming album MDNA that might possibly include assistance from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Aside from all that, we're freaking out about what Madonna's going to wear. Thus, in solidarity, we've been thinking about how we can rock the Madonna look at the annual Super Bowl party. Never ones to go for an all-over costume-y type of affair, we've decided that it's easier to accessorize Madge-style by mimicking her looks of yore and drawing inspiration from her numerous music videos. Thus, here are some Madonna-themed accessories to shine a ray of light on your party proceedings...

TEAM PRAYER

Lady M was into crucifixes, stacked bracelets, gigantic bows, and anything and everything studded in the early '80s. We think this Deena & Ozzy Confetti Studded Bucket Bag has Madonna Louise Ciccone written all ovah it. Toss it over a leather jacket, denim mini, and black booties, then accessorize with these ASOS Black and Rhodium Bracelets. Don't be afraid to mega stack them either. (You can never have enough, trust us!) The same goes for double-layering your crucifixes. We particularly like the juxtaposition of the edgier Premium Spike Cross Necklace and Metal Cross Post Earrings with the sweetness of Bando's Big Black Bow Headband, which harkens Madonna's early "Borderline" video.

K Pop group Girls' Generation leaves "The Late Show with David Letterman."

Welp, I think the image above just confirms that two of 2011's most impactful debuts—K Pop and SpiritHoods—aren't going anywhere any time soon. In fact, they're only growing in ubiquity. South Korean female supergroup Girls' Generation made its American network television debut on last night's Late Show with David Letterman and flat out kiiiiiilled an Anglo remix of their hit single "The Boys". All nine Girls hit Pussycat Dolls meets Spice Girls choreography HARD in black lace and sequins and patent knee-high boots with heels. They performed their faces off and left it all on the Late Show stage while Superbowl-costumed Bill Murray and Regis Philbin looked on from the sideline. After their milestone performance, they hit the road, this time conquering a different kind of pop star staple: the furry animal hood.

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
