Trust Mad Men's Christina Hendricks to sport a throwback-inspired trend. Her retro rose dress is spot-on vintage glam. Sure, it's a bold print, but that's the way it's made to be worn — the '50s femme never makes apologies for her ladylike print, or her curves. Now, it's your turn: sport the style with the same flirty florals, and if it's chilly out, add tights and booties for a modern edge.

Leighton Meester looks gorgeous as Blair Waldorf in this scene from Gossip Girl. It's all about her loud and colorful dress from Nanette Lepore that she wears with a Nancy Gonzalez croc bag (shown here in beige), all the while accessorizing with a Tiffany key necklace and patent Mechante pumps. Shop these items to get her look now.

Has anyone ever looked so adorable en route? Marion Cotillard takes the cake in her streamlined Vanessa Bruno blazer and flirty tiered mini a la Isabel Marant. The blue and black hues are lightened by a beige fedora and enhanced by minimal jewelry. These little separates are available in a variety of prints and solids; offsetting one by a tailored jacket is the smartest approach. Marion see, Marion do.

A Fab reader needs our help accessorizing this Nanette Lepore dress that Katy Perry wore on the June cover of Lucky. Here's the skinny . . .

I got this dress for a wedding I am going to this Summer. I'm looking for ideas to accessorize it! Bag, jewelry, shoes, nail polish. I will probably wear my hair back but to the side (the other side from the shoulder strap). My hair is brown, and my skin is a very light olive.

There are already a bunch of groups you can join and explore, and please — start some new ones! Here's a helpful guide to creating in case you need some clarification.

Katharine McPhee has come a long fashionable way since her days on American Idol. In the past years, the singer has ditched her girl-next-door style for streamlined chic — we love it. While attending a party in Beverly Hills, Katharine contrasted her black elements with a shiny leopard print skirt. Notice how the longer cut balances out the slight sheen. However, if you're feeling wild, opt for shorter hemlines and brighter hues. Rrrr.

Looks like I need to make room in my closet for Hurricane Nanette.

The designer is expanding her empire to include handbags, swimwear, footwear, and a casual knitwear-based line, created in-house, called Oonagh by Nanette Lepore. Oonagh (the designer’s daughter Violet’s middle name) made its debut for holiday and is on the growth track; Nanette calls it "The weekend counterpart [to Nanette Lepore]." And, lastly, but certainly not leastly, an e-commerce website will go live this Fall.

But it's not all about more clothes. Lepore is also a staunch supporter of Save the Garment Center. Lepore's husband, Robert Savage, president of the firm, says, “It’s about jobs, and we think it’s about American designers. Where can you go to get 100 pieces made?” He said the firm works with 10 factories within a five- to six-block radius. Growth and good practices? Right on.
