He went on: “With this latest one, we have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth.”

With a bus tour of Ohio set to begin Wednesday, Cain faced an early test of whether he could get back on track when he delivered a national security speech to nearly 1,000 people at conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan on Tuesday. He didn’t address a Georgia businesswoman’s accusation of a 13-year extramarital affair; he also avoided speaking to reporters and stuck to his plan to present his foreign policy vision, one in which the U.S. would stand by friendly nations such as Israel, quit giving money to countries he considered enemies and spend more on defense.

“It was just a friendship relationship,” he said, according to the transcript. “That being said, obviously, this is a cause for reassessment.”

“I felt like we were being lied to,” he said. “I’m putting my name in New Hampshire as a state rep behind him and I just didn’t like the way it was being played out.”

It was the latest blow for a candidate who has been under scrutiny in the past month, since it was revealed that the National Restaurant Association paid settlements to two women who claimed Cain sexually harassed them while he was president of the organization. Then a third woman stepped forward to accuse Cain of groping her in a car in 1997.

“Rather than the current philosophy of cut, cut, cut, I believe our philosophy should be invest, invest, invest,” Cain said to an audience that gave him a standing ovation. “I happen to believe that we have allowed our military to get too weak.”

ATLANTA – Herman Cain says he must gauge the response of supporters before deciding whether his presidential candidacy can survive another allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior. He’s likely to hear from backers and doubters alike over the next few days.

Questions lingered over whether Cain’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination could continue. In a conference call with supporters Tuesday, he acknowledged the “firestorm” sparked by Ginger White’s interview with an Atlanta TV station and admitted he was assessing whether her claims — he flatly denies them — are too much for his candidacy to go forward.

Some have started to defect.

Cain has responded more aggressively to the latest allegations than he did with the earlier claims. He issued a pre-emptive denial before the latest accuser even went public. He also sent a message to his supporters Tuesday calling the allegations of an affair “a fabricated, unsubstantiated story.” He accused White of abusing their friendship.

“If a decision is made, different than to plow ahead, you all will be the first to know,” Cain said during the call, according to a transcript from the National Review, which listened in.

In Iowa,Canton Fair, Cain’s campaign has lost some precinct-level supporters in light of the new allegations, Steve Grubbs, Cain’s Iowa chairman, said during an interview with CNN.

During Tuesday’s call, Cain once again denied the affair.

“If people make contributions, then we’ll keep the campaign doors open and be able to keep paying people,” Grubbs said. “Otherwise, Herman Cain will have to make a decision whether he can afford to keep moving forward.”

Cain was in Iowa for a day last week to film a new ad, but spending to air it was on hold pending the fundraising in the days to come, Grubbs said.

“I am writing you today to assure you that this woman’s story is completely false,” Cain said in the email. “I do know Ms. White. I have helped her financially at times over the past few years, just as I have helped many friends and acquaintances throughout the years. I thought Ms. White was a friend in need of a supportive hand to better her life.”

Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon, one of four chairmen for Cain’s Florida campaign, described Cain as calm and deliberate when speaking to his campaign supporters. Plakon said he wanted to see more evidence before he could believe Cain’s latest accuser.

“If it is true that he didn’t do this, I think he should fight and kick and scratch and win,” Plakon said.

But if Cain did have the affair, Plakon said, it would be unacceptable to Republican voters.

“That would be very problematic,” he said. “There’s the affair itself and then there’s the truthful factor. He’s been so outspoken in these denials.”

New Hampshire state Rep. William Panek endorsed Cain at a news conference earlier this year. But he changed his mind Tuesday after seeing reports that Ginger White, the woman accusing Cain of the affair, showed evidence that she had traded 61 text messages and cellphone calls with the candidate. Panek has endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the upcoming primary.

The opening of offices by the Internet giant (and some recent high-end sales) have many hoping for a Silicon Valley-style upswing.

In these endless days of stasis for the residential real estate market,wholesale soccer jersey, it seems that everyone is searching for a silver lining to news of mounting foreclosures or rising inventories of unsold houses. But in Venice, where Google just opened new offices that house more than 500 employees, there is some honest-to-goodness hope for real estate agents who've long sought silver linings.

“They should all get together and start a club,” she quipped.

“Walking down an aisle in a white dress, no, I don’t dream wistfully about it,” she laughed. “I’ve considered marriage at different times in my life, but I’ve never come close to marriage. No one’s ever proposed to me.”

“I like to be challenged. I like men who have something going on. I like men who are successful, who aren’t very dependent on you,” Handler explained. “I like for them to bring something to the table that you haven’t brought to the table yourself. And I like them in small doses.”

The New Jersey native — who’s dated 50 Cent, Ted Harbert and Dave Salmoni in the past — added that “all my exes are very fond of me.”

“I’m in a happy time in my life,” she said on Piers Morgan Tonight Thursday. “I’m not on the prowl. I’ve never been on the prowl. I do like men, though.”

It was inevitable that this style shoe would make it on to the Recessionista blog. They’re hot and off the hook. Sooooo comfortable, why wear or entertain in high heels anymore? Uber icon Kate Moss has worn her version and there is an obvious nod to the King of All that is, Michael Jackson.

I wore these back in the 80′s and while I would rather stick ice picks in my ears than go there again, I get it. This Urban Outfitters pair is cute and affordable at $29.99. I love the updated rose gold metallic and the grosgrain ribbon laces that make them more delicate.

Get this pair at an Urban Outfitters near you, or buy a similiar style here.

Katie Gallagher is a DIY kind of girl. At her Spring presentation last night at Milk Studios, everything—from the clothes to the invitations to the set design—was conceived and made in Gallagher’s third-floor walk-up in Chinatown, which she shares with partner in crime Nikolay Saveliev. Gallagher has been gaining momentum over the past few seasons, and now her unconventional designs are selling out on Shopbop. Lucy Liu and Jared Leto, who both stopped by last night, are a few of her boldfaced supporters.

This season was all about the color story: blood red. At her show, Gallagher pointed out that there’s nothing gruesome about the bright red blood she had in mind. “This blood is alive, flowing.” She added, “Think lessons with Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus.” The blood theme was carried out in the clothing (every look was red, black, or a combination of the two), the set (tall vials of dyed corn syrup), the makeup (models wore cherry red lips and eyeliner), and even the nails (there were threads attached to their press-on nails). Looking at Katie, the best model for her own clothing with her edgy personal style, you can’t help but want to copy her look, and that’s what she’s banking on.

Lingerie, fitness gear, and eveningwear—all in one? Versatile might be an understatement for Threeasfour’s newly launched collection of leotards, bra tops, and leggings, debuting exclusively here on Style.com. “I come to the studio all day, and then go to yoga, and then sometimes I go out at night in it,” says Adi Gil, who designs the line along with Angela Donhauser and Gabriel Asfour. “It works and really looks good for all of those occasions—that’s the magic about it.” Gil has even been sporting the Yin & Yang Body leotard while she’s out surfing. Note: They aren’t necessarily SFB (safe for beach) because they aren’t lined, but even dry, the swirling opaque and sheer one-piece will turn heads. The collection, now available at their Web store Planetofstyle.com for a price point that’s much more affordable than their runway collection, is another step in their efforts to position the line as accessible. How does the trio plan to open up next? “A collaboration—this is one of my dreams,” Gil said, listing Stella McCartney’s Adidas collection as a personal favorite. “From wet suits to yogawear to swimwear to dance, I think there is so much room for improvement and growth in those fields, in terms of style.”

This One Kiss Key Diamond-Accent Key Pendant is from Cindy Crawford’s line that she designs for JCPenney. I love that she’s branding herself from jewelry to home furnishings — and this item is a very nice piece. It’s classic and timeless — and at $99.99, a whole lot less than the Tiffany’s version! I actually like to layer several pendants on top of each other on one necklace.

I love the style and the price of this One Kiss version — I’d probably layer my kids’ initials or some other cute little nothings on the chain — but too many keys and I might look like a superintendent!

Buy it here.

I love receiving gifts, especially when the word diamond is attached. And right now I’m really into wearing keys. There’s something cute and seductive about them at the same time. This is super cute and so similar to those Tiffany keys, I just felt the need to write about them. J’adore.

For its first New York fashion week presentation, do-gooding eyewear line Warby Parker summoned showgoers to 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. But the destination wasn’t Bryant Park, as of old; it was, oddly enough, the New York Public Library. In the Main Reading Room of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, patrons thumbed books as usual. Or not quite as usual. Along two tables at the back, rows of bespectacled men and women read tomes with matching, bright blue colors.

The motley crew of models—some professional, some friends of the brand, including stylist Aya Kanai and Tumblr fashion director Rich Tong—showed off the new collection of optical glasses, shades, and one monocle. The books they were reading identified the individual frames: Everett for a square, Clark Kent-ish style, and Monroe for a circular, sixties shape.

The presentation—which was technically rogue, having not been cleared by the powers of the New York Public Library—was a homecoming of sorts. “We came up with the name Warby Parker from an exhibit at the library,” Dave Gilboa, who co-founded the line with Neil Blumenthal, explained. (It’s derived from two names taken from Jack Keroauc’s writings and diaries, which were on display.)

Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti of Partners & Spade helped put the event together and were on hand to (quietly) take it in. Is this the first illegal installation they’d engineered, we wondered? “No,” said Sperdutti, “but it’s one of the better ones.” And if the law intervenes? “Neil’s gonna take the fall,” Gilboa laughed.

Follow Selena’s example with wrapped sandals and dangling jeweled earrings. Finish the look with a clutch in a contrasting color, and you’re set.

To buy: $146.54 (available in black, red, and purple), asos.com

This dress is full of surprises. It’s short in the front and long in the back. Plus it’s not loaded with sparkles, which is boring me a bit lately (Must everything be sparkly whether it’s day or night?). The built-in corset on top with the layers of chiffon on the skirt is the perfect combination of fitted and flirty.

It’s complete perfection!

I love this dress that Selena Gomez wore to the Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles on Monday. I particularly appreciate that she didn’t go the normal celebrity route with a one-of-a-kind or high-priced dress. Instead, hers is from asos.com. I mean, hello? Divine!
