A huge congrats (and big jealousy) to GradGrl75 who won this Yves Saint Laurent Tribute handbag ($895)!

A huge congrats (and big jealousy) to GradGrl75 who won this Yves Saint Laurent Tribute handbag ($895)! I'm convinced this is the perfect black patent bag — I just love the crackly patent leather, sleek boho shape, gold ring hardware and the fact that is it the legendary YSL. Enough about this bag, stay tuned for another Fab handbag giveaway very soon!

Fab Gift Guide: BFF Guy

No matter what anyone says, you and your BFF Guy are strictly platonic — for real.

No matter what anyone says, you and your BFF Guy are strictly platonic — for real. He comes over without calling, belches in front of you, and treats you like his little sis. He's silly and kick back, so get him gifts that will suit his fun-loving personality. After all, he still has time to shape up and be a young professional.

Be sure to peruse all of our Gift Guides and download our Fab Gift Guide worksheet to help keep you organized!

Who Wore It Better? Chloe Crystal Cap Sleeve Mini Dress

It boggles my mind when one girl spends an exorbitant amount of money on a ho-um dress.

It boggles my mind when one girl spends an exorbitant amount of money on a ho-um dress. Then, two girls wear the aforementioned dress and it just makes me throw my hands up in the air and pray to the fashion gods. Such is the case with this Chloe crystal mini dress. It looks like a volcano exploded and dispersed blobs of crystals all around, expensive crystals. It's not my taste, but obviously Hilary Duff's and model Jacquetta Wheeler's. Who do you think wore it better?

How Would You Wear It? Mischa Barton

Who is this matron and what has she done with the sassy Mischa Barton?

Who is this matron and what has she done with the sassy Mischa Barton? I've always known that Mischa is capable of making fashion faux pas, but this is pure insanity! At the Closing the Ring UK premiere, it appears the actress is having an identity crisis.

The only thing I applaud Mischa for are her studded, Louboutin Mary Janes. Other than that, I'd save the bow-tie blouse for a luncheon and the poofy black-taffeta skirt for a Halloween costume. She should have simply chosen a more age-appropriate dress. Perhaps she can take some pointers from her former O.C. co-star Rachel Bilson.

How would you wear it?

Daria Werbowy, Half of GQ's Couple of the Year

Besides the fact they're both Canadian, Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy and funnyman Seth Rogen make quite the unlikely pair.

Besides the fact they're both Canadian, Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy and funnyman Seth Rogen make quite the unlikely pair.

Nonetheless, GQ named the two Couple of the Year — a title that is slightly misleading, considering that Seth and Daria are no real-life couple, but one that does make a good excuse for a fun photoshoot. Daria and Seth ham it up for the camera, playing a couple with a definitive taste for high fashion: Seth wears a $2,120 tracksuit in one shot! I wonder what he thought of the cat-like creature that is Daria . . .

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Becki Newton

Chloe had a big bash and naturally the celebrities turned out.

Chloe had a big bash and naturally the celebrities turned out. Becki Newton stole the show in a Chloe strapless, flannel dress, but what's up with her black boots? They take the focus away from the gorgeous frock. Since she's obviously trying to defeminize the dress, I gave her an equally edgy, but pretty pair of platforms. I do love her coin necklaces and super-straight hair. Her look is a refreshing change from all the leggings and scarves we've been bombarded with lately. Keep it up, Becki!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Holiday Bowling Party

This time of year it seems like there's a never-ending stream of cocktail parties to attend.

This time of year it seems like there's a never-ending stream of cocktail parties to attend. I wouldn't be Fab if I didn't love dressing up, but sometimes it's nice to switch it up a little.

I've been invited to a holiday bowling party, and since I'm not the best at bowling, I'm focusing on looking cute. Help me out, won't you? I'll start you off with this Dexter Bowling SST Classic ($100) because it's the cutest bowling shoe I could find. But here's an inspirational image from Grease 2 — love — to get your Fab Finding juices flowing. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them holiday bowling.

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.
