This weekend, while you:

+ Celebrate the Fourth of July…

+ Engage in or avoid the 218th straight hour of Michael Jackson media coverage…

+ Or burn all of the notebooks you filled with iterations of your name, “Mrs.,” and “Kevin Jonas”

Please don’t forget that you should be using protection while participating in those activities!

Enter Will Ferrell’s own special brand of sunscreen. It’s got SPF 30, and it’s got an image of Will Ferrell’s ass on it (plus, it’s made in Germany, and you know the Germans always make good stuff — actually, it’s made in the USA, and I doctored that last part), but most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from Will Ferrell’s sunscreen goes to Cancer for College, which funds scholarships for cancer survivors.

Choose from two appealin’ flavors — “Sexy Hot Tan” (shown above), or “Sun Stroke” (check it out below the jump). They’re $12 each at FredFlare.com. (Get “Forbidden Fruit” here.)

Will Ferrell sunscreen! It’s less superfluous than High School Musical hand sanitizer, and more practical than Brüno manpons. Which they should so make.

Today’s episode of It’s On With Alexa Chung featured a little something for everyone — book suggestions, Tyrese and his man muscles, Transformers helmets, cake smashing, and a live rendition of “Birthday Sex.” If you weren’t entertained, then you just don’t know good TV. Anyway, here’s what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, July 1
+ Dress: A.P.C.
+ Shoes: Frye.
+ Knee-highs: Hue.
+ Beaded necklace: Her own.

So, look what’s on sale… a gorgeous navy A.P.C. (one of Alexa’s favorite brands) mohair dress. It’s not super summery, but it’s winter somewhere, right? Buy it and keep it for later, because it’s on sale for $190 at apc.fr.

… Or check out this more summery navy button-down dress by model Erin Wasson’s RVCA line. It’s $105 at Opening Ceremony — one of Alexa’s favorite shops.

Finally, Alexa wore her own beaded necklace, but check eBay’s selection of Native American beaded medallion necklaces.

I was in Bed Bath & Beyond the other night (or, Bed Bath & Beyonce, as I like to call it, even though that’s not really very funny or clever as it has nothing to do with Beyonce), taking care of my bed, bath and business, and while I was waiting in the check-out line, debating whether or not I REALLY needed to buy that bottle of Kaboom (answer: YES, result: my tub looks like… I cleaned it), when I spotted HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL HAND SANITIZER. Seriously. That is a REAL PRODUCT. It’s hand sanitizer, but… wait for it, here’s the catch: IT HAS A HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL STICKER ON IT! It does not play “Get’cha Head in the Game” when you squirt it out, it doesn’t magically give you spirit fingers or make you more popular. Zac Efron won’t pop out of the bottle and grant you three wishes. I doubt this crap even protects you from swine flu. It’s just… generic hand sanitizer… with a High School Musical sticker on it. Basically, you could take your own little bottle of Purel and put an HSM sticker on it to the same effect. Still, someone though to MASS PRODUCE AND MARKET THIS. T-shirts, lunchboxes, notebooks, fake tattoos, even socks I can handle. But hand sanitzer? Someone needs to put an end to the merchandising madness.

+ What’s the weirdest band/ movie/ celeb merch you’ve ever encountered? Better yet, what weird band/ movie/ celeb stuff you own?

All kinds of unexpected things ended up happening on It’s On With Alexa Chung today. Seann William Scott told a totally NSFW story involving intercourse and peanut butter (never the two shall meet, I always say!), John Leguizamo walked on and went on some kind of rage bender, and I fell in love a little bit more with Lil Wayne signee Drake (yes, the same Drake who used to be on Degrassi!!!) But, more importantly, here’s what Alexa Chung was wearing on today’s show…

Tuesday, June 30
+ Dress: Vintage.

+ Shoes: Luella, her own.

+ Necklace: Purchased on St. Marks Place — One of Alexa’s favorite places in New York City to shop for inexpensive and fun jewelry. Secret’s out now. Oh well.

If you’re into the ruffly look, check out Thread Social’s off-white silk jumper. It’s $275 at Net-a-Porter.com — one of Alexa’s favorite online shops.

… And check out Geren Ford’s delicate, ruffly cream top. It’s $258 at Shopbop.com.

Finally, check out Juicy Couture’s high-heeled Mary Janes with gold buckle detail. They’re $175 at Zappos.com, and they’re a staple shoe you’ll buy once and wear forever.

Um, so here we have Paris Hilton wearing Niki Biki stonewash jeans that aren’t jeans. They’re leggings. Suggestions of jeans. For those lighter days when denim is JUST TOO MUCH EFFORT. You know those days when you just need to PULL ON YOUR PANTS and GO but you ALSO WANNA WEAR JEANS? But you DON’T HAVE TIME for the zipper and button? Right. There’s a cure for that. DENIM LEGGINGS. They’ve even got fake pockets for when you have stuff you wanna hold but don’t really want a place to hold it. Legging jeans! They’re like a denim’s lighter shadow. So, are you PRO denim leggings or NO denim leggings?

When she wasn’t busy getting pregnant with The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s Shailene Woodley — who has amazing musical taste YET claims she’s “too old” for Nick Jonas (!??!!?!?), here’s what Alexa Chung wore on It’s On With Alexa Chung today.

Monday, June 29
+ Blazer: Her own.

+ T-shirt: Her own.

+ Jeans: Current/ Elliott.

+ Glasses necklace: Ashish & Twinkle by Wenlan.

+ Shoes: Frye.

Check Net-a-Porter.com’s selection of Current/ Elliott jeans — they’ve got everything from legging jeans to super skinnies to destroyed and demolished elephant bells and brilliant boyfriend jeans.

Alexa’s “Emily” Frye slingbacks are $228 at TheFryeCompany.com.

Finally, check out British design duo Daydream Nation’s (not to be confused with the Sonic Youth album) sweet little knit eyeglasses necklace! It’s $114 at FarFetch.com.

… Or check out Etsy seller ThePuddingStore for more glasses necklaces.

I too would be raising a fist in fashion victory if I were wearing a Vena Cava dress and hanging out with Leighton Meester and Cobra Starship. Here’s what Alexa Chung wore on today’s episode of It’s On With Alexa Chung.’
Thursday, June 25
+ Dress: Vena Cava.

+ Cardigan: Rebecca Taylor.

Total ladies-only day on It’s On With Alexa Chung today with guests Cameron Diaz and Sofia Vassilieva AND the gorgeous and giggly Demi Lovato (seriously, doesn’t she have the sweetest little laugh?) Anyway, here’s what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, June 24

+ Plaid shirt: Her own.

+ Jeans: Her own, Topshop.

+ Necklace: Tuleste Market.

+ Shoes: Chanel.

Tons of you have been Tweeting about how much you love Alexa Chung’s style, so here are some Alexa-inspired pieces.

Alexa’s beige and black two-strap Mary Janes were completely-off-the-charts worshipful. But for those of us not on a Chanel budget, check out these three-tone black, beige and grey cutout Pour La Victoire (Ashley Tisdale’s a fan of the brand) platforms. They’re $197.15 on Endless.com.

Alexa was wearing her own plaid button-down shirt. Check out Kettle Black’s black and grey version. It’s $121 at Shopbop.com.

I also really love the grungy variations of blue and purple in this Quiksilver plaid shirt. It’s from the men’s department, but who cares, really? It’s $52 at Quiksilver.com.

Finally, get at some Paige Premium Denim for SUPER skinny dark jeans like Alexa’s. Selena Gomez, Lauren Conrad, and Gwen Stefani are all Paige fans too, and Demi was wearing a pair on today’s show as well. Check out the Skyline skinnies for $168. They’re super skinny but surprisingly stretchy and perfect for tucking into boots (rain boots, as the case may be) or with heels or ballet flats.

Today was Nick Cannon and MILF day <ahem!> on It’s On With Alexa Chung. Of course, every day is a good outfit day on the show, so let’s get to what Alexa wore today, hm?

Tuesday, June 24
+ Striped mini dress: Charlotte Ronson.

+ Rosette necklace: Tuleste Market.

+ Shoes: Christian Louboutin, her own.

First of all, I need to applaud Charlotte Ronson — her clothing is amazing and often affordable, her sizes are realistic, AND she’s related to Mark Ronson, which is applaud-worthy in and of itself. Anyway, looking for something similar but more summery? Observe! Topshop’s backless striped mini dress. It’s $100 at Topshop.com.

… Or check out this SIIIICK sleeveless striped sweater dress by McQ Alexander McQueen. It’s $239.25 at Chickdowntown.com.

J’adore this gold rosette necklace by Nicole Romano. Get it for $330 at CharmandChain.com, which has the BEST selection of chunky necklaces on the planet.

SHOES! Alexa wore her own Christian Louboutin Mary Janes today. Can’t afford Louboutin? OMG! ME EITHER! We have SO much in common! Check out these Marc By Marc Jacobs patent ballet flats instead. They’re $180 at ShopKitson.com.

(Oh, and speaking of shoes, did Olivia Palermo REALLY re-wear a pair of TOPSHOP heels — THE SAME shoes she wore to the CFDAs — when she was on It’s On With Alexa Chung today? THE HORROR!)

Today’s episode of It’s On With Alexa Chung featured EXTRAORDINARILY fashion-forward guests Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo, AND Christian Siriano. Um, no pressure or anything. As usual though, Alexa Chung turned up perfectly dressed, but never overly dressed, which just makes her casual-chic style all the more enviable — and accessible. And as lovely as The City stars Whitney Port and Olivia Palmero usually look, personally I think Alexa’s outfit stood out the most. Here’s what Alexa wore on today’s show.

Monday, June 22
+ Top: Chanel, her own.

+ Cardigan: J. Crew.

+ Jean shorts: Levi’s, her own.

+ Rhinestone necklace: her own.

+ Shoes: Doc Martens.

More power to you if you can afford a Chanel top (or Chanel anything). I’d like to live where you live because clearly the recession hasn’t hit you. But if you’re looking for star-print alternative, check out this fun star-print tee. It’s just $35 by With Mocha at YesStyle.com.

Or check out this great Sonia by Sonia Rykiel star print purple jersey dress. It’s $162 at Asos.com.

Alexa’s camel-colored cardigan is by J. Crew, but check out Delia’s even cheaper boyfriend cardigan. It’s $34.50 at Delias.com.

Also, HOLY 1992! Alexa Chung was wearing Doc Martens today! Not just regular old old-school black ones, either but metallic Docs. (Appropriately, tomorrow’s musical guest is Bikini Kill! Um, just kidding. But that’d rule.) Feeling that? Get a pair of pewter metallic Doc Martens for $110 at DMUSAstore.com.

Lastly but not leastly, Alexa’s chunky vintage rhinestone necklace was her own, but a quick search for vintage rhinestone necklaces by brands like Trifari on sites like RubyLane.com should net you some sparkly “Grandma-wore-this-to-prom” results.

PS: Check out these cute star-studded leather lace-up flats! They’re $55 at Topshop.com.
