>> Warm weather can't come soon enough for us, so in ode of what's to come, peruse our top pant picks for Spring. With light fabrics, bright colors, and cool cuts in mind, we nabbed roll-up trousers in pale pink from Elizabeth and James, cobalt palazzo pants from ASOS, and even a cropped and wrapped pair from Alexander Wang. That, plus more favorites from Zara, Madewell, and Opening Ceremony for Rodarte in the slideshow.
The '70s live on for Fall in Catherine Malandrino's world. The French designer who calls New York home stayed true to her sexy, bohemian roots while playing to both Parisian and New York sensibilities with a variety of silhouettes. Floor-skimming dresses were styled with wide-brim hats and nerdy chic glasses, and there was a plethora of furs — some oversized and grand, others cropped and fitted. There seemed to be something for every chic girl — cropped trousers, pleated skirts, tiny shorts, even a jumpsuit — all very nice partners to a super sexy fur. Take a look at more from the presentation on FabSugarTV.
Each day of New York Fashion Week is giving us something to look forward to for Fall '11. We've been seeing longer hems, bold pops of color, and loads of mixed prints — and each show leaves us more excited for the next. Derek Lam hit us with his well-known uptown glamour, VPL showed us sexy metallics, and Alice Ritter offered the ultimate in cool-girl chic. Click through to see day four's Fab-approved looks.
For Fall 2011, Catherine Malandrino channeled the sophistication of Paris and New York by showcasing fur and floppy hats appropriate for day and night. The luxurious line was spotted with polka dots, plaids, houndstooth, and cutouts in a variety of colors and fabrics from chinchilla to leather. Not to be outdone by the gorgeous draped dresses, her wide-leg trousers make dressing up for the office just as fashionable as a night on the town. Check out our video to view the full collection!
The start of a new year brings a great opportunity to reflect — we can look back on what we accomplished, and make resolutions for the coming 12 months. I always look forward to cleaning out the old closet and making room for fresh new pieces. With less than 48 hours until a brand-new year, I thought it necessary to highlight some of the things I'm planning — and coveting — when the clock strikes midnight.

Give your go-to leather jacket a rest! This season, it's all about new leather pieces, like skirts, dresses, and tops! Derek Lam and Celine showed these leather looks on the Fall 2010 runways. Today, we're going to show you three great ways to wear this trend!
Vanessa Abrams's style tends to slant more towards the eclectic and casual side, so it's refreshing to see her in a more dressed-up look. The dress in question is from Catherine Malandrino that she wears with a few key accessories: bag by Radley, necklace from Stephen Dweck, shoes by Pour La Victoire. The dress is available online, but the accessories aren't, so shop like items instead.
Set at the Grand Promenade at Lincoln Center, Catherine Malandrino's presentation was a fresh breath of Vallauris air. We're off to the South of France, ladies! The models stood atop platforms lined on either side of the reflection pool in a gorgeous assortment of crochet knits, silk macramé, chiffon and jersey prints, and woven leather. It was a perfect mélange of essential European vacation pieces and the signature edgy Malandrino French girl.
Black wide-leg trousers were paired with a black leather cropped and distressed jacket, embellished with dual zippers. To be fair to color enthusiasts, the palette wasn't all noir — two of the most memorable outfits were a raspberry, floral floor-length gown with a Grecian goddess neckline and a soft cream, viscose wrap dress. Go light for day and dark for night. Of course, no South of France getaway is complete without a straw hat, macramé tunic to layer over a bikini, and a jaw-dropping talisman pendant! C'est chic — bon voyage!
