Fab Finding Follow Up: The Hot V Day Date!

The day of mushy romance has arrived: Valentine's Day.

The day of mushy romance has arrived: Valentine's Day. For those of you with a date, I asked you all to find a fantastic outfit to wear tonight. I'll live vicariously through all of you! But I had one restriction: no RED allowed, except for the red lipstick I provided. I think there are several other sexy colors one can wear that communicate romance: black, purple, pink and white are some examples. I started you off with my newest favorite red lipstick Giorgio Armani matte silk lipstick #11, $25. Number 11 is also my lucky number (maybe I'll end up getting lucky after all)!

I asked you all to go Fab Finding to put together a gorgeous Valentine's Day outfit. Let's see what you all came up with! To see all the Valentine's Day finds click here and here.

Fall 2007

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Designers for Darfur

On Friday evening, many, many designers, fashionistas, and do-gooders gathered together in New York City's Roseland Ballroom in support of trying to help end the atrocities of genocide taking place in Darfur.

On Friday evening, many, many designers, fashionistas, and do-gooders gathered together in New York City's Roseland Ballroom in support of trying to help end the atrocities of genocide taking place in Darfur. Since it was the finale of Fall 2007 Fashion Week, the theme of the event was a grand fashion show appropriately titled, Designers for Darfur.

The hosts of the evening were Lydia Hearst Shaw (shown) and Malcolm Harris of Mal Sirrah. The sponsor was Steve Madden who not only presented, but he also provided all of the footwear for the models.

The show was beautifully orchestrated and went off without a hitch. Some highlights were: a long flowing yellow dress with a jewel accent, a stunning floor length turquoise evening dress as well as the adorable children walking the runway. All of the clothing was created in Africa's colors; red, green, black/yellow.

All the items from the show are being auctioned off on ebay right now. All profits will go toward the Save Darfur Coalition so please check it out!
