Fab Finding Follow Up: Looking Fab at the Victoria's Secret Runway Show!

On Friday, I broke some exciting news: Molly, Bella, and I have all been invited to attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in LA this Thursday!

On Friday, I broke some exciting news: Molly, Bella, and I have all been invited to attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in LA this Thursday! I asked you to help us figure out ensembles that will transition well from the red carpet to backstage and the after party.

A lingerie-inspired look would be ideal, as a toast to Heidi Klum and the girls up on the catwalk. I started you off with this Banana Republic 'Cleo' platform slingback, $128, because it's definitely Very Sexy (wink). To see all the VS fashion show Fab Finds, go here.


Let's see what you all came up with!

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.

Look #1, created by alillee is so VS Sexy. The slip dress is a pretty oyster satin color, and the fuchsia clutch and ornate jet earrings keep the outfit from being overly fussy.

Sneak Peek! Erin Fetherston for Target

Erin Fetherston's Target collection isn't supposed to hit stores until November 18, but in true Target form, some pieces are already available online, including the dress at left and a cute ivory cocoon coat.

Erin Fetherston's Target collection isn't supposed to hit stores until November 18, but in true Target form, some pieces are already available online, including the dress at left and a cute ivory cocoon coat.

This collection has been polarizing — either you Love It or Hate It — because of its super girly-girl feel. The peter pan collars, heart bags, and minidresses were all showcased during a (too) long introductory commercial that you probably caught if you watched The Hills last night.

Have a good long gaze at the collection below, and then spill: will you be hitting the Erin Fetherston racks at Target?

Nina Ricci Tulle Tank Dress: Love It or Hate It?

As part of Nina Ricci's Spring '08 cruise collection, Olivier Theyskens brings us this Nina Ricci Tulle Tank Dress ($5,950).

As part of Nina Ricci's Spring '08 cruise collection, Olivier Theyskens brings us this Nina Ricci Tulle Tank Dress ($5,950). It's interesting to see a runway dress brought to the masses. Ever the feather lover, Olivier incorporates delicate feathers on this mini dress. I appreciate his effort but it's a bit too busy, and pricey, for me. Do you love it or hate it?

Reader Request Celebrity Style! Kate Hudson

So many of you loved Kate Hudson's wintry NYC outfit that we listened (always!) and re-created her look.

So many of you loved Kate Hudson's wintry NYC outfit that we listened (always!) and re-created her look. I have to say, this girl knows how to bundle up and look good in the cold. The long coat is super luxurious and a good alternative to all the tuxedo blazers we've been seeing.

She tops it all off with cool shades, leather boots, a black vest, and jeweled turtleneck. Since jeweled turtlenecks are hard to come by, throw a tiered necklace over your turtleneck and that should do the trick. Now you're ready for the mean streets.

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 14 "Forgive and Forget"

All this time I have been on Team LC and I have to say: my heart went out to Heidi last night.

All this time I have been on Team LC and I have to say: my heart went out to Heidi last night. Yes, we have our issues with Heidi and Spencer, but when a friend reaches out, multiple times, to apologize you listen and you appreciate the effort. Last night LC was stone cold. Maybe it's in the script, maybe LC is a real budding actress, but I was feeling the chill. On a lighter note, how cute was Whitney's Crispin & Basilio Red Wool Bow Tunic ($315)? We knew the girls of The Hills were going to have an encounter sooner or later, were you able to follow the fashions as well?

Be sure to take geek's tech quiz and Bella's beauty quiz! Fun fun.

Trend Alert: Little Navy Dresses

LBD. LBD. LBD. I'm just as guilty as the next girl of owning at least ten.

LBD. LBD. LBD. I'm just as guilty as the next girl of owning at least ten. The LBD is indeed a fail-safe fashion choice, but what about when you want to mix it up just a tad? Kerry Washington proves that a Luella LND can capture attention just as much as its noir cousin.

The key to standing out in navy is to play with textures. In a flat silk, navy can look very, well, flat. Navy is regal and stunning in satin, fluid jersey, or flirty pleats. The best part? You can have a field day with accessories — especially costume jewelry. And yes: you can wear black shoes with a navy dress! Just pull it together with the rest of your accessories, a moody coat or a smoky eye.

Fab Flash: Marc Jacobs Reality Show?

Maybe Marc Jacobs' cameo appearance on The Hills a couple of weeks ago was more planned than it seemed to be.

Maybe Marc Jacobs' cameo appearance on The Hills a couple of weeks ago was more planned than it seemed to be.

He must have liked life in front of the camera, because he's now saying he wants his own reality show. No concrete plans are in place, but Marc pictures the show covering "everything, all aspects of my life. All the drama, the intrigue, the sex, the romance, the work. I'm a shameless human being."

Any reservations? "The whole thing’s sort of egotistical, I suppose,” he says. “But I do find myself entertaining.” The question is would you?
