Elle Macpherson

WTF?! Elle Channeling Axl?

Nothing tops off a Fab day like a little Axl Rose.

Nothing tops off a Fab day like a little Axl Rose. Some of you already know the truth — I am a Guns n' Roses fanatic. I usually keep my obsession out of Fab because I understand not everyone shares my love affair — for the band, the music, the Axl — but this was too good to not share.

On your left you have Elle MacPherson at the Belstaff show at Milan Fashion Week. She is looking quite rock n' roll, quite masculine, and quite like Axl, during his glory years of course. And here is an example of the turbulent front man, in a purple leather jacket, signature bandanna and shiny PVC leggings. With all the long blonde hair, leather, and even some swagger, you have to admit there are funny similarities here. Who knew Elle could channel Axl? Wonders never cease...

Fab Finding

Come Fab Finding With Me: Diner Dash Challenge

Damsel in distress! Flo, the main character of the brand new game Diner Dash™ Hometown Hero, needs a makeover, and she's enlisted our help. If you're not familiar with the game, here's the scoop: Flo, a business-savvy restaurant owner, enlists the help of her Grandma to resurrect five restaurants in their hometown. The catch is the long hours and hard work have wreaked havoc on Flo's wardrobe. That's where we come in!

PlayFirst™ and yours truly invite you to come Fab Finding to fab up Flo's wardrobe. She'll need essentials from top to bottom, so be creative. Tag them with "Flo Style."

Submit your Fab Finds by Sunday, October 7th, and on the following Monday we'll choose one lucky reader whose selections will be added to the game for Flo (and her waiters) to wear. The winner will also get a copy of the wildly successful game, Diner Dash: Hometown Hero and a FabSugar tote!

PlayFirst is also offering a special deal for Sugar readers: You can receive $5 off this game when you enter the code “YumFun” (for the PC version) or “YumFunMac” (for the Mac version). Offer expires October 31, 2007 so act quick to give it a whirl! This coupon is non stackable with other offers.

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Glitterati: Philip Crangi

Jewelry designer Philip Crangi may have been born in the wrong century — he trained as a goldsmith, and is inspired by the long-past Greco-Roman and baroque periods — but he makes it work.

Jewelry designer Philip Crangi may have been born in the wrong century — he trained as a goldsmith, and is inspired by the long-past Greco-Roman and baroque periods — but he makes it work.

Together with his sister, Philip combines old-world techniques and materials to create beautiful heirloom pieces that are simultaneously very modern. Gold, wrought iron, and steel are the materials of choice, and their craftsmanship is such that they earned Philip Crangi Jewelry a nomination for the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award — no easy feat.

Fab Ad: Coach Bleecker Collection

Coach has utilized every color in the rainbow for their latest Bleecker collection ads.

Coach has utilized every color in the rainbow for their latest Bleecker collection ads. This shot in particular, with Estonian model Tiiu Kuik (far left) and company, is super fun in comparison to some of the more serious ads out there. Although heavy ads have their place, seeing a picture with lots of energy and bold hues is refreshing. I especially like the colored carpet, the textured tights and the dramatic flowers and feathers in the girls' hair. It's all very United Colors of Benetton, no? What do you think about Coach's amicable ads?

"Flowers and rosettes are a great way to incorporate that [summer feeling] into a collection." I'm not a fan, are you?!

Celebrity Style: Emmy Rossum

Did I miss something?

Did I miss something? Since when is actress Emmy Rossum also a singer? Okay, I'll stop delving into Buzz's world and stick to fashion. Singer or not, Emmy's cobalt blue and black Jay Godfrey dress is darling. True, we've seen the babydoll style all year, but the color combo and light pleating keep it fresh. It's nice to see her in something age appropriate as she usually tends to look matronly on the red carpet.
