Fab Face: Iekeliene Stange

One of the most interesting faces trotting down the fall runways was Dutch newcomer Iekeliene Stange.

One of the most interesting faces trotting down the fall runways was Dutch newcomer Iekeliene Stange. Note: her last name is Stange, not Strange, though she does look it with her insane cheekbones, pale complexion, and pointed nose. The 21-year-old, who also happens to have a gap-toothed smile, was a designer favorite this fall appearing in numerous shows including Chloe, Chanel, and Emanuel Ungaro. I think she's interesting looking alright, what do you think?

Electrify Your Senses

Finally, there is something fly on the market that you and your "special guy friend" can fight over in the bathroom.


Finally, there is something fly on the market that you and your "special guy friend" can fight over in the bathroom. CK One Electric Fragrance is the new and improved fresh scent of the original 90's hit CK One unisex fragrance. This version is a little bit stronger and has more of an intensified outdoor freshness.

This delicious citrus, yet woodsy scent is made up of: lime, cedarleaf, mandarin, neroli, waterlily, violet leaves, musk, amberwood and cedarwood. The very cool bottle has also been revamped and modernized.

The science geniuses over at CK have cleverly suspended the glass bottle on the inside of another bright green neon carton which makes for an "electric" and impressively illuminating presentation. Buy this limited edition 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette bottle here for $40.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Rainy Saturday (boo)

I remember one month in New York City when the weekdays were sublimely sunny but every weekend rained on my parade.

I remember one month in New York City when the weekdays were sublimely sunny but every weekend rained on my parade. I had numerous brunch dates and shopping excursions planned and I had to plow through them in cute rainy day outfits. With winter upon us, it's best to prepare for such unfortunate timing. I also plan on doing a lot of holiday shopping in the next few weeks so I can't have any I-have-nothing-to-wear! situations. I did feature cute umbrellas not too long ago but here's my new fave by Burberry, a classic umbrella with a twist, available for $115 here.

So let's all go Fab Finding for pants, a comfy top, a raincoat, and water-friendly bag to compliment my fab umbrella. Be sure to come back and tell us that your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with the word "Rainy Saturday." To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.

Jewelry

The Perfect Everyday Gold Necklace

I have always had a love/hate relationship with gold.

I have always had a love/hate relationship with gold. For the past several years, I thought it was terribly uncool and more something that my mom and grandmother would wear, but now gold is hot hot hot and I am all over it. The great thing is that I now realize that gold is truly timeless. Not too long ago we showed some bold gold jewelry and now I'd like to showcase the other end of the spectrum: perfect everyday gold necklaces. These are sweet, functional necklaces that can be worn solo or layered with other favorite pieces. They aren't too long or large, they are just perfect. The great thing about this style is you can make a subtle statement, whether about your personality or politics. Enjoy my designer and non-designer picks below.

Rachel Leigh New York 22-inch Circular Floral Embossed Pendant, $92, available here.

Peggy Li 16-to-18-inch Autumn Splendor Necklace, $59. available here.

Missoni Vintage Aviator Sunglasses: Love It or Hate It?

Oversized sunglasses are here to stay—at least for the time being.

Oversized sunglasses are here to stay—at least for the time being. But doesn't it seem like they just keep getting bigger and bigger? I was particularly struck by this pair of Missoni
Vintage Aviator Sunglasses
, available for $320 here. With their black-and-yellow color scheme and racing-stripe design, they give off a definite 1970s jetsetter vibe with a slightly sci-fi influence. At the same time, they are unmistakably Missoni. But I just can't decide how I feel about them, so tell me what you think. Love it or hate it?
