You all know I would never leave you high and dry — especially around the holiday season. If you think I got excited about Halloween, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Simply Fab: Jockey "No Panty Line Promise" Tactel Modern Brief

Fashion week confessional: during my first days of fashion week in New York I had the worst wedgies.

Fashion week confessional: during my first days of fashion week in New York I had the worst wedgies. I don't know if it was the mad rushing, the humidity or my lame boy shorts — a combination of all three I'm sure. But, like a true fabionista, I kept on keepin' on. One magical day I wore these Jockey® "No Panty Line Promise" Tactel Modern Briefs ($8.50) and my butt cheeks were the happiest. Yes, they promise no VPLs, but they should double that promise. After all, wedgies are not, and will never be, in vogue.

Happy 140th Birthday, Bazaar!

Pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and you'll soon realize that one of the greatest fashion magazines, started in 1867, is celebrating it's big 1-4-0!

Pick up the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and you'll soon realize that one of the greatest fashion magazines, started in 1867, is celebrating it's big 1-4-0! In a world so fickle, lasting that long in any industry is not easy. So let's put our hands together, clear our throats, and sing one of our favorite mags a happy birthday.

In celebration, this month's issue features quotes from the most influential designers today. They were asked former Bazaar columnist Diana Vreeland's famous question, "Why don't you?" and here's what some had to say...

  • "Why don't you have a different pair of fabulous heels for each day of the week? Especially on the weekends!" - Donatella Versace
  • "Why don't you break your limit of conventions and dress yourself over-the-top passionately? - Olivier Theyskens, Nina Ricci
  • "Why don't you wear a short dress to a black-tie gala?" - Alber Elbaz, Lanvin
  • "Why don't you belt your boyfriend's shirt and wear it as a dress?" - Ralph Lauren
  • "Why don't you step out in playful polka dots? - Oscar De La Renta

Celebrity Style: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar glowed at American Film Institute Fest 2007 over the weekend. In her strapless tiered vintage Chloe dress, she redefines the term "champagne wishes." The Lanvin pearls and fabric necklace adds chic dimension, while the stacked bangles keep it sassy and young. We thought a pair of black patent heels brought the look full circle — and made it even more festive. Champagne wishes and Chloe dreams!

Come Fab Finding With Me: A Winter Wedding

Early December is a fine time to have a wedding...and that's when you're attending one!

Early December is a fine time to have a wedding...and that's when you're attending one! Your best friend is finally getting married to her long-term BF, and you can't wait to be there for her.

Find something to wear that's neither overrun with black — that's not the message you want to send your BFF off with — or too festive, since this isn't a holiday party. Don't go too conservative, though, you still want to be your best friend's shining star.

I'll start you off with this Banana Republic 'Lauralei' strappy sandal, $128, because it's subtle and sophisticated. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them winter wedding.

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.

With the holiday season just starting to pick up, pretty sparkling metallics are popping up in stores more than ever.

With the holiday season just starting to pick up, pretty sparkling metallics are popping up in stores more than ever. I've been a sucker for sequins ever since I was little, and it looks like you have a softspot too judging by your Fab Finds this week. They add a touch of glamour to everyday life, a sequin shower just makes you, well, shine inside and out.

The Fab Finder of the week is lauraloo6, who found this party-ready minidress. Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
