Fab Finding Follow Up: Cocktail Party at the Boss' Place

Your boss is throwing a cocktail party on Saturday night at her new house, and you're invited.

Your boss is throwing a cocktail party on Saturday night at her new house, and you're invited. Eek! It's a straight-up cocktail party — no theme — but you jump at any excuse to dress up.

So what do you wear? She's your boss, so nothing too risque: she'll still remember what you had on — or didn't have on — come Monday. I started you off with these Lee Angel Crystal Drop Earrings, $160, because they are undeniably pretty. To see all the boss' party 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 maria212134 is so sophisticated. Everything is streamlined, elegant, and most importantly: professional.

Fab Flash: Karen Elson Named New BCBG Postergirl

It never ceases to amaze me how fast model moms kick it into high gear postbirth: First with Natalia Vodianova walking the Paris runways three weeks after having her third child and now with Karen Elson, who has just been named the face of BCBG's Spring campaign.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast model moms kick it into high gear postbirth: First with Natalia Vodianova walking the Paris runways three weeks after having her third child and now with Karen Elson, who has just been named the face of BCBG's Spring campaign.

Karen gave birth to her second child in August and replaces another model mom, Angela Lindvall. Patrick Demarchelier photographed the series, which is sure to be stunning — Karen's light complexion and blazing red hair will look perfect in BCBG's washed-out Spring collection.

Celebrity Style: Eva Longoria

You would think an actress with free designer duds at her disposal would wear high end to the launch of Samsung's Blackjack II, but down-to-earth Eva Longoria opted for an Armani Exchange Drape Front Dress.

You would think an actress with free designer duds at her disposal would wear high end to the launch of Samsung's Blackjack II, but down-to-earth Eva Longoria opted for an Armani Exchange Drape Front Dress. I love the rich, bronze hue and her rhinestone spiral sandals. Way to make something so inexpensive (it's on sale for $70!) look so red-carpet chic.

Fab Ad: Dom Perignon Oenotheque

When Karl Lagerfeld photographed the ad campaign for the champagne Dom Perignon Oenotheque, he was thinking of a young, handsome old-moneyed couple, for whom everything is perfect.

When Karl Lagerfeld photographed the ad campaign for the champagne Dom Perignon Oenotheque, he was thinking of a young, handsome old-moneyed couple, for whom everything is perfect. They're just a little bored, and the husband looks at his wife and gets the idea that she could be all women in one. The champagne helps him imagine these fantasies, which are played out through the all the pictures: Claudia Schiffer as French maid, Claudia Schiffer as Marie Antoinette, Claudia Schiffer as blushing bride...

The pictures are all black and white, as Karl prefers with his photography...and his every day dress, for that matter. Do you find the final product fantasy-inducing?

While Blair played the part of sophisticate at her birthday shindig in a Valentino party dress from the Fall/Winter 2005 collection, Serena was all about street chic. And good thing because her look was perfect for rockin' out on Guitar Hero. Way to trump Vanessa, S!

The Look For Less: 3.1 Phillip Lim Plaid Blouson Dress

Phillip Lim makes beautiful clothes, and though his stuff is considered rather affordable compared to other high-end goods, it's still in the triple digits.

Phillip Lim makes beautiful clothes, and though his stuff is considered rather affordable compared to other high-end goods, it's still in the triple digits. Take this 3.1 Phillip Lim Plaid Blouson Dress ($485), which is very modern. The muted colors scream Fall but the price makes me want to, well, scream!

Chloe Bay Green Patent Bag: Love It or Hate It?

The Chloe Bay Green Patent Bag ($1,925) is nothing new, but I'd like to get your thoughts on the new contrast gray-zipper detailing.

The Chloe Bay Green Patent Bag ($1,925) is nothing new, but I'd like to get your thoughts on the new contrast gray-zipper detailing. I'm on the fence about it; on one hand it's a unique detail, but on the other I'm not feeling the green-gray combo. What do you all think?

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Tweed

When the weather turns it automagically puts me in the mood for tweed.

When the weather turns it automagically puts me in the mood for tweed. This classic fabric is resilient and toastie — and, regardless to what you may think, it can be sexed up.

To the left is the Salvatore Ferragamo Fall collection and those tweed pants are powerful stuff. You may not have plumage laying around for such an exotic top, but show a little decolletage, hike yourself up in heels and top it of with some crimson lip rouge. Katherine Hepburn: are you in there?
