On Our Radar: Stacy London Is Fashionably Late

Ever since MTV's House of Style expired, I've felt a void in the fashion-television market.

Ever since MTV's House of Style expired, I've felt a void in the fashion-television market. Of course, there's Project Runway, but that only fulfills my fashion-reality TV cravings. I recently watched Stacy London's new show on TLC, Fashionably Late, and let me tell you, it made me feel like I was at a fabulous and fashionable slumber party, cocktails and all.

I was apprehensive at first because What Not to Wear is at the bottom of my TiVo list, but Stacy stepped it up this time. She sassily dishes about celebrity styles, innovative fashion items, runway trends, tips, and has a different celeb guest each time. There's even a hot bartender on hand who supplies yummy drinks. Should you happen to be home on a Friday night, be sure to watch it. Come to think of it, make an effort to stay in on a Friday night . . . you won't regret it.

Nina Garcia Answers Our Fab Questions, Part II

Ta da! Here's more fashion advice from Fab-favorite Nina Garcia.

Ta da! Here's more fashion advice from Fab-favorite Nina Garcia. Seeing as how she's the ELLE fashion director and Project Runway judge, we should be all ears to what she has to say. She is doing a blog tour and answering all of our fashion and Project Runway questions. As promised, Nina delivered and here's the second set of Q&As. Enjoy!

I would love to get your thoughts on accessory don'ts. Are there things, trends, etc. that we should not do when accessorizing?

I think It bags are an accessories don't. Season after season women become so enchanted with these of-the-moment fads and spend a great deal of money on a look that has the shelf life of 3–5 months. Instead, I think investing in a classic bag that, historically, has stood the test of time: Louis Vuitton Speedy, Hermes Birkin, Chanel 2.5. Another accessory don't is when women get too excited with their accessories and wear them all at once! Wearing the statement ring, statement necklace, and statement earrings all at once will not make a statement, but look too much. Keep it to two pieces, like a chandelier earring and cuff or a more dramatic necklace and cocktail ring to personalize your look.

He may be your typical collegiate, but he prefers to think of himself as the Big Man on Campus.

He may be your typical collegiate, but he prefers to think of himself as the Big Man on Campus. He runs on a diet of beer, pizza, and Red Bull, works out with his iPod, and lives in his school's hoodie. You don't want to mess with his system, but it might help to throw a puffer vest or another Henley into the rotation — he is living on a college budget, after all.
