It’s been pretty quiet on the fashion front. The shows in Europe are almost over and the Spring/Summer collections are on display in store fronts up and down Newbury Street. So in between listening to Papelbon complain and trying to get tickets to see Shiny Toy Guns on St. Patrick’s Day, why not take a well deserved fashion break.

Second only to the awards themselves, fashion is one of the main reasons why so many of us watch the Oscars. So along with everyone else out there with a blog and a voice, we’ve decided to give you our opinion on fashion last night. We’ll save you from our opinions on the winners and why Amy Ryan was robbed and stick to what we know. Fashion.

Victoria Beckham is a style icon with Hermes bag collection that would make most women green with envy. It’s also fitting that she would make an appearance on Wednesday promoting her jeans & sunglasses collection right before her other gig that night. For those of you who don’t know, she sometimes sings with this pop group from the UK, ever hear of them? Spice something?

The exhibit Rhythms of Modern Life: British Prints 1914–1939 shows the sharp, mechanical-feeling prints that set the artistic tone for the future. Museum of Fine Arts. Read Bostonist's preview of the show. Runs through June 1.

Victoria Beckham, aka "Posh" of the Spice Girls, aka Mrs. David Beckham, aka Lost Alien From the Planet of Zor, will be in Boston to promote dVb, her own sunglass and jeans line, so we hear from Bostonista at Boston Daily.

Okay, okay. The masses, or at least one person in the tips section, have spoken. You want celebrity sightings, you got 'em! A tipster has announced that soccer star, husband of Posh, friend of Cruise David Beckham was spotted in a local Cheesecake Factory. Beckham was in the area with the LA Galaxy to play a game with the New England Revolution. He didn't actually play, though, so he had spare time to enjoy New...

Want a picture of what Red Sox Nation feels like this morning? The best way we can describe it is the scene in Airplane! when Elaine gets on the PA, tells the passengers to remain calm, then asks, "Oh, by the way, is there anyone on board who can fly a plane?" The next scene is in the cabin with passengers going berzerk and men swordfighting in the aisle. That's what being a Red Sox...

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...

Not every day can be that exciting in the sports world. Today will be pretty good: the Sox open a series in Baltimore, the Patriots play their first exhibition game, and Gillette Stadium is preparing for the Sunday arrival of David Beckham. Yesterday...nothing. Well, there was a little excitement. New Celtics Eddie House and Scot Pollard faced the media, and Bostonist already likes Pollard. "Getting Kevin Garnett here was a big deal, but with us...

Jonathan Papelbon and the Red Sox decided to add a little drama to their regularly-scheduled win over the Devil Rays.

Remember May? When this kind of thing happened all the time? The Red Sox and White Sox played a close, competitive game for six innings. Then the Chicago bullpen melted down in a big way, and the good Sox found themselves on the right end of a 11-2 win. The Red Sox had a 2-1 lead going into the sixth, when a J.D. Drew RBI double and a Coco Crisp RBI single gave Kason Gabbard...

Banner week for SFist as the site's new editor introduced himself -- hooray for Brock! While the NY Times weighed in on SF's mayoral race, only SFist had the (insert tongue firmly into cheek) hard-hitting latest on candidate/activist Josh Wolf. Coverage of a protest vs. gentrification spawned a fantastic debate amongst SFist's readers. Finally, from the sublime to the ridiculous: video of a man that confused a Board of Supes meeting with "open mic...

It was a tense time at Fenway Saturday. Curt Schilling looked human (or worse). The Sox were suffering from a chronic case of "hitting the ball right at Miguel Tejada". Losing two in a row to the Orioles looked like a distinct possibility.

that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post.

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. Wednesday 5/3 Dolls & Being John Malkovich Beat Takeshi's bunraku-inspired drama Dolls is paired with Spike Jonze's puppetry-obsessed black comedy Being John Malkovich: two surreal tastes that taste surreal together. Harvard Film Archive 7 pm (Dolls), 9pm (Malkovich), $8 Dolls: IMDB | web site |...

When Bostonist was a poor college student, we remember splurging on a pair of navy Puma sneakers, which at the time were revamped and retro in comparison to the usual cross trainers at City Sports. Now, non-recreational, retro sneakers in a slew of colors are all over the city, but we like to think that Puma started the trend. Bostonist was surprised to learn today that the North American Puma headquarters are out in Westford; the Herald announced that this German footwear and clothing chain is planning on expanding its line to include golfing and motorcycling shoes and clothes. Puma CEO Jochen Zeitz plans on increasing the company's revenue to the $4.3 billion mark. So what, you ask? Well, the U.S. of A. loves its sneakers and has double the shoe market than Europe, meaning much of Puma's growth is going to be happening on this side of the pond. The Westford base will probably need to hire some more help if they want sales to increase from 4% to 25% like Zeitz plans to.
