The Row fall 2011; Imaxtree Ballet slippers may have some competition with the recent popularity of lounge loafers. These shoes have come on the scene with a vengeance and taken androgyny to a new fashionable level. Everyone from Alexander McQueen to Sam Edelman have contributed to the trend and have brought studs, prints, and tassels to the table. Here’s what to consider before you delve into this trend: Longevity: Not new to the style scene, the loafer has been around since Hugh Hefner debuted them in the ’70s. We never thought we’d tale a cue from the Playboy patriarch, but even the most unpredictable of celebrities end up being trendsetters. For those of us who can’t decide between the flat and the oxford, this is a neutral combination of the two that is sure to be around for years to come. Wearability: If there’s one thing that these shoes possess, it’s comfortability. These shoes are literally made for walking. Or lounging. And although we all love a good heel, a great stylish and practical flat is like winning the lottery. You can follow in the footsteps of the always fashionable Mary-Kate and Ashley and their brand The Row and pair them with mens-like business wear, or you can throw them on with a simple jeans and T-shirt for running errands. Dressed up or down, they work like a charm. Personality: Whether you’re a plain Jane or love to experiment with prints, there’s a loafer out there for everybody. Studs, velvet, leopard, or patent, whatever your hearts desire. Although they may come off a bit grandfather-esque, it all depends on the style of the shoe and yours. Save vs. Splurge?: Save. Although the studded Louboutin loafers may be tempting, some of the splurges run close to $1,000, and who has that kind of money? There’s no need to break the bank to nab a pair of these shoes.

H&M dominated the mass collaboration category in 2011 with its Versace extravaganza and news of an upcoming partnership with Marni and Sofia Coppola, but Target’s kicking things off in 2012. Yesterday they released a first look at their collaboration with Jason Wu as well as the line’s ad campaign. It features a pink and yellow dress with black trim, as well as Milu, the cat who played muse to Wu’s Target collection. The clothes and bags hit Target next month, but next week the mega-store will reveal what they’re calling “the next chapter in Target’s design partnership model.” Though details are scarce, WWD reports that it will definitely vary from the Go International concept they started with, even extending into food categories. Mario Batali for Target anyone?

- We spotted Russell Brand out in London looking pretty sad. The usually happy guy just announced he's splitting from wife, Katy Perry. Cheer up Russell, we think you're great!

- Halle Berry has a very unique style: totally glam on the red carpet but very casual on her days off. We love how she paired a thin tanktop with a sequined baseball cap, it's a great way to wear the sporty chic trend that is so big this spring.

- Our fave celebs are followed by swarms of paps all the time, so you would think that they try to avoid getting photographed as much as they can. But when it comes to their biggest fans, they just can’t say no. Actually, they rather hold the camera themselves! Click on the pic to see celebs grab the camera from their fans!

- In 2011 we saw a lot of our favorite celebrities make many fashion mistakes. Some were rookie mistakes and others are just a case of bad styling (personal or professional, it can be hard to tell). This year's greatest misses came from Evan Rachel Wood in her maroon Gucci leather dress, Katie Holmes pairing a Azzedine Alaia halter dress with Proenza Schouler booties, and Jessica Biel in her blue, velvet Gucci suit. After witnessing these celebrity's fashion flaws, the most important fashion advice we can give is: wear what looks best on you, even if it's not trendy, you'll still feel incredibly confident and stylish.

- 2011 was the year of the little white dress, clean lines, and silk sheaths. Celebrity fashionistas like Rachel McAdams and Malin Åkerman, were really on trend this year, and paved the way for the simple beauty of a well-tailored and elegant dress. New to the A-List scene is model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who stunned in a midnight blue, silk Burberry gown, which is one look we will forever remember. And of course we have to give a nod to the newest fashionable royal, Kate Middleton, who awed us in her blush pink, Jenny Packham dress, truly befitting of a princess. We can't wait to see what 2012 will bring for these trendsetters!

- One of the most classic designer handbags is made by Louis Vuitton and we've seen our favorite celebs carrying their Louis everywhere! Celebs like Leighton Meester and Ashley Tisdale known that the classics never goes out style!

- We love the girls from the TV show Pretty Little Liars, and especially Ashley Benson! This look on her is so cool, with the funny sunglasses and bold blue pants. Amazing, Ashley!
