In the midst of all those obligatory holiday parties, your dear girlfriend is having a bang-up birthday party you actually want to be at! She's hosting it at a swanky little bar and you are super stoked about dressing up.

What are you strutting your stuff in? I started you off with these Alessandro Dell'Acqua Robot Sandals ($528) because they are silvery and spirited with a holiday bow. To see all the festive birthday 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 Ashley2007, is pretty and wintry. All the white, rhinestones, and crystals make for a very luxe party presentation!

Donatella Versace has tapped Patrick Dempsey as the new Versace man — for an unprecedented two years. Dempsey, who was photographed for the line by Mario Testino late last month, will first appear in the house's Spring men's ad campaign starting in February.

Donatella said of her choice: "Patrick represents everything that is great about this collection; he has that confidence, completely comfortable in his own skin, that is so attractive. He is the modern man of today and of course looks fantastic in the clothes." Yes!

If you're a gal who prides herself on being fashion-forward — and I know you are — thank your lucky Oscars. Oscar de la Renta, fresh off of his Penelope Cruz dress of success, gave editors and more remotely us a special taste of what's to come. I'm foreseeing full A-line skirts, uber florals, and lots of bright colors come Fall 2008. Metallics and ruffles are also still staying in the cards.

Oscar prides himself on dressing the lady, and I have to say: what a Fab well-dressed lady she is!
