Inspired by Cindy Crawford

We cheered last year when Cindy Crawford's One Kiss jewelry line debuted for J.C. Penney, and not just because it was delicate and refined - but because the supermodel didn't pretend to design it. (Don't you hate it when celebs act like they actually create this stuff?) The new spring line, inspired by Crawford's own baubles, includes earrings, necklaces and rings, $99 and up, many shaped like the henna symbol for "kiss"; at J.C. Penney stores and jcp.com. - Joseph V. Amodio

Inspired by Beetle Bailey

Don't tell Sgt. Snorkel, but perennially put-upon private Beetle Bailey's Army green fatigues are influencing a new collection of designer duds. Arguably the longest-serving private never to have been promoted, Beetle Bailey is getting a line of clothing and accessories bearing his imprint. Darren Romanelli and Hitoshi Tsujimoto have banded together to develop an Americana-inspired and military-infused collection of jackets, sweaters, T-shirts, hats, shoes, pants and bags. It was introduced at a trade show in Manhattan last week, and backers are hoping retailers pick it up. Watch for it. - AP
