Joe Coomber/Sipa It’s only been three months since Jersey Shore star Jenni “J.Woww” Farley sent her debut fashion line, Filthy Couture , down the runway , but the guidette has already shuttered the collection of self-described “club wear,” swimsuits and casual separates. “It’s shut down but not shut down,” Farley told Ryan Seacrest on this morning’s On Air with Ryan Seacrest . “I got a new manager and we did shut it down to get it ready to get it sold in stores,” she said of the line, which was previously carried online at filthycouture.com. “The online sales were great but you can only go so far with that, and to try and take it to a new level, we really wanted to push for clothing stores,” added the reality star, who seemed stumped when Seacrest asked her which retailers she would ultimately like to see her clothing distributed in. “That’s a manager thing,” she responded. But despite the temporary discontinuation of her designs, J.Woww fashion fans need not despair: Farley offered some easy tips to replicate her unique look, for Halloween or for real.

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty After battling a chronic intestinal disease that led to a shocking weight loss and then surgery, actress Amy Brenneman has bounced back and is showing off a pixie-inspired hairdo that is equal parts inspiration and necessity. “My hair was looking so weird, and it was growing back out in such bizarre different lengths,” the Private Practice star told PEOPLE while attending the Healthy Child Healthy World Gala in Los Angeles, “so it was either this style, or I become an Orthodox Jewish woman and wear a scarf on my head!” While her new look isn’t as drastic as a change in faith, it’s definitely one that required a leap of faith, which the 46-year-old actress took with an eye on a certain Big Love actress. “That Ginnifer Goodwin, she really inspired me!,” she said. “She is so cute with that short, short hair.” Though it’s still relatively new for her, Brenneman feels as if she’s mastered the most important rule of being a woman with short hair

Koch Joerg/DPA/Abaca; Toni Passig/WireImage; Alexandra Beier/Landov It’s Oktoberfest in Germany and some of the sexiest–and bustiest!–stars got into the spirit over the weekend, suiting up in the traditional dirndl dress. Showing a public display of affection for Bavarian style, a bright-eyed Katy Perry donned a polka-dot dirndl for an appearance on the German variety show Wetten, dass…? in Munich on Saturday. Kim Kardashian also took her Bavarian beer girl role quite seriously, appropriately accessorizing her custom-made dirndl with pigtails and a pitcher of brew. She even took to her Twitter account to boast, “I love Germany! It’s Vonderful here!” And with pigtails intact, Salma Hayek ‘s low-cut Bavarian dress almost exposed a little too much of her enviable assets, nearly missing a serious wardrobe malfunction during a performance on the German variety show. And while each brunette bombshell looked authentic in her dirndl, we can’t decide who wore her traditional dress best

Courtesy Redbook Dancing With the Stars is making its long-awaited return to TV tonight, which means that the show’s on-the-go co-host Brooke Burke is having to balance her glamorous onscreen existence with being a hands-on mom—and still being a stylish one at that! “I always have a bag of clothes in the car (I call it the Kidmobile), so I can change from flip-flops for school pick-up and drop-off into heels for a sexy look if I need to later,” she explains in the October issue of Redbook of refusing to allow her non-stop schedule cramp her style. Even when she’s dressing down, Brooke admits that staying chic remains a high-priority–but she makes it easy on herself by focusing on accessories. “I wear tons of jewelry, even when I’m in sweats,” she says.

Hypnotics/Splash News Online If you admire the way former model and fashion photographer Kelly Bensimon dresses on The Real Housewives of New York City , Sunday was your chance to snap up stylish items straight from the reality star’s designer wardrobe! Kelly cleaned house, or houses, in this case–both her East Hampton and Manhattan abodes–and had a label-heavy tag sale on the lawn of Georgica Creek Antiques in Wainscott, New York to benefit Island Harvest , a charity that fights hunger on Long Island. But this was no ordinary garage sale, with designer T-shirts, dresses and denim that one might be more likely to encounter on the pages of a magazine than strewn across a yard sale lawn. Chic sequined ball gowns from French Connection, stylish pieces from Rogan, Calypso, as well as a creamy dress from Twinkle—many with original tags—highlighted the fashionable assortment, while shoes included Prada pumps and a tall pair of silver boots. Bensimon’s daughters, Sea, and Teddy, were also present, setting up a lemonade stand to benefit the East Hampton Library. Also on hand
