You're about to embark on your first date with that guy you've had your eye on.

You're about to embark on your first date with that guy you've had your eye on. The nerves are getting to you, and they bring that eternally bothersome question with them: what to wear? He's taking you to a romantic speakeasy restaurant on a weeknight after work, and you want to bowl him over at first sight.

I started you off with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Variegated Herringbone Jacket, $398, because it's feminine and sexy! To see all the Fall first date Fab Finds, go here.

Is it me or is Jenny Humphrey getting more and more beautiful and stylish with each episode of Gossip Girl? Last night, when she was running errands for Blair in hopes of obtaining an invite to the masked ball, she wore a Kenzie Girl polka dot dress, a Marc by Marc Jacobs camel blazer and a Magical Pegasus bag. Granted, many people don't look this put together when running errands, but this is TV land and we can dream. Until next time, Upper East Siders...

Fab Flash: Are You Handbag Brainwashed?

Handbags have transformed from being functional into objects of lust — and not without a price.

Handbags have transformed from being functional into objects of lust — and not without a price. The cost of covetable bags have rocketed in recent years, and a price tag of $1,000 or more is no longer few and far between.

I've found myself drawn towards buying expensive handbags I can't afford, because the big price tag doesn't feel so unreasonable any more — am I jaded? Are you?

But the wandering led to drama-inducing mistaken identities and foul play — and a funny game of strip hide and seek. As always, lots of drama and fashion to go around. Were you paying attention? Take our quiz and let's find out!
