There's always a bit of a fashion face-off whenever Whitney Port and Roxy Olin go to events together, but that's only because they both have such different looks. Last week, "The City" stars teamed up for the Reality Cares Achievement Awards at the Luxe Hotel in Los Angeles. Whitney showed off her au courant style in a silver sequin dress by Mandalay, black Miu Miu shoes and sultry eye makeup, while Roxy donned a multicolored floral dress and soft pink lipstick. The beautiful duo posed on the carpet, then went inside where Roxy was on hand to present Whitney with the "Style Achievement Award."

If you're ever lucky enough to bump into Whitney Port, you'll probably see her boasting an infectious grin (unless, of course, she's fighting with her ex-roomie Roxy Olin, or trying to single-handedly dominate the fashion industry). Over the weekend, she kicked her facial expressions up a notch and sported a huge kid-in-a-candy-shop smile while she -- you guessed it -- stopped by a candy shop. "The City" star happily perused the lollipops at the Sugar Factory in Las Vegas, looking adorbs in her feminine floral dress, intricate chain-inspired necklace and flip-flops.

Roxy Olin might be a rash decision-maker, but that has nothing to do with her knack for dressing stylish (or captivating an army of photographers). Earlier this month, "The City" star attended a screening of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in New York City. There, she showed off her sunkissed glow in an of-the-moment bronze ensemble. Rox rocked a low-cut bandage dress, printed paisley blazer and brick red pumps.

New York City demands that its residents be fast on their feet, but on tonight's episode of "The City," Roxy may have pulled the trigger just a little too quickly. On the heels of JacketGate (ya know, when singer LIGHTS tossed her Whitney Eve blazer to the floor?), Rox decided her relationship with best friend Whitney would be better off if she moved out of their shared apartment (and were seated apart at fashion shows). When Whit heard her bff was actually going through with the threat, she put herself out there and tried to talk Rox off the ledge ... but it was too late.
+ Was one career fight a good enough reason for Roxy to take off right away, or do you think she made up her mind too fast? Take the poll and sound off!

You've been telling Whitney Port to strengthen her backbone ever since the DVF days. (Forgotten already? Long before Olivia Palermo was ruining Erin Kaplan's life at ELLE, she was thumbing her nose down at the "City" neophyte.) Well, apparently Whit took your advice to heart ... but did she get ballsy with the wrong person?
On tonight's episode, the ambitious young designer tore into Roxy for failing to get a grunge-inspired rock star to wear a beautifully tailored Whitney Eve blazer for more than 5 secs on stage. The stage of a hot concert hall jam-packed with ripped-tee-wearing teens. Talk about a doomed job assignment!
We get that Whit didn't see how hard Roxy worked to put LIGHTS in that damn blazer, and we really love that she's finally standing up for herself -- we're just not so sure she picked the right battle to launch the new 'tude. Rox really tried her bestest!

The last time we spotted trendsetter Whitney Port, she was showing off her sky-high legs in a busy floral/fruity dress. On Friday, "The City" star went for a more subdued look, wearing a delicate pale yellow sundress with tiered skirt and nude peep-toe booties. In the scorching NYC heat, Whit met up with BFF/costar Roxy Olin -- who was also sporting yellow (!) -- to film a scene for an upcoming episode.

We've always considered ourselves pretty hip when it comes to fashion. We've covered it, bought it and even been inspired by it -- but when we hear Kelly Cutrone drop info on the industry, she might as well be teaching us a new language. On tonight's episode of "The City," Kelly taught young designer Whitney Port a number of vital things about surviving the cutthroat fashion biz, and we took notes:
PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN
What Kelly Said: When showing a fashion line, the most important thing to learn is how to tell buyers "no." Whether it's about altering your designs or receiving stock without payment, the answer is a big fat: NAY! Otherwise, you’re going to be stocking Century 21 and TJ Maxx (we never knew where they got all that great merch from) with your extra inventory.
Takeaway: Know your limits.
NEVER TRUST A BUYER
What Kelly Said: Buyers are merely shopaholics, and even if they have amazing credit, a designer should always get them to put 50 percent down on a sale. As we saw in tonight’s episode, no deal is firm unless you have the cash in hand!
Takeaway: Trust means nothing; credit card numbers mean everything.
BE PREPARED TO DISROBE
What Kelly Said: When a buyer wanted to see Whitney Eve in 3D, Kelly was there to put a little spin on it ("Good thing the designer looks like a model"), and ultimately the sale came down to Whitney’s willingness to, well, take her clothes off.
Takeaway: Always wear nude-colored boy shorts and a strapless bra if you're working a trade show booth.
FOLLOW-UP IS KEY
What Kelly Said: As KC always says, you have to take matters into your own hands if you want something done right. Roxy made an appointment with the buyers of Wink, who had previously shown interest in Whitney Eve, and it was that ambitious move that landed Whit’s line in the storefront.
Takeaway: You won't get something if you don't ask for it.
+ Did Kelly teach you anything on tonight's episode? Let us know!

We were really impressed on this week's episode of "The City" when longtime Tourette's sufferer outspoken Roxy Olin managed to turn her 'crazy popcorn' machine off long enough to get super profesh. In the episode, we saw her swoop in during an (almost) model disaster, give Whitney a pep talk and even impress Miami-based fashion buyers. (65 percent of you guys agreed that Rox is good for Whit's business!)
Roxy recently took a break from her life at People's Rev and let the cameras get a peek inside her closet. They found lots of leatha (à la Mick Jagger), some Michael Jackson-y jackets and even a pair of Ugg boots. Check out her Bluefly Closet Confessions video and watch as she wheels out all of her hot-to-trot ensembles!

Whitney Port worked her hustle muscle during tonight's episode of "The City." The aspiring fashion designer headed to Miami (Whitney Eve collection in hand and Roxy in tow) to woo buyers with a fashion show at Gen Art's Annual Fresh Faces in Fashion event (R.I.P. Gen Art! The company went out of business last month). While backstage it looked like the show would turn out catastrophic -- model stealing, competitive designers and giggly management -- Whitney put on her game face and did what she set out to do: deliver a good show. By the end, Miami buyers seemed interested, which is great for her line. (Because behind-the-scenes drama doesn't seem to matter as soon as the money starts rolling in!)
