Yes, the economy's tanking, but the good news is that it's doing it slowly, leaving us more time to invest in lipstick and contort ourselves into fuel-efficient cars. If you're going to Monday's Costume Institute Ball at the Met, though (you know, the Party of the Year), we suggest you charge up your superhero look with more than just a lip tint, even if, unlike Helena, you're not on Team Marc Jacobs. The night could be the perfect opportunity to break out your boots, instead of those perilously dangerous stilettos. Didn't get an invite? Take out your aggression on this steel cube chair, sledgehammer included. Talk about a super accessory.
