As much as I wish I was attending Milan Fashion Week next week, my fantasy will have to be fulfilled with the Fab Finding of an outfit to wear to the grand event. London Fashion Week is wrapping up and now it's on to Milano! So, imagine you were lucky enough to be jetsetting to say the Versace show next week. And, even better, you have a front row seat. What to wear?! I started you off with this Versace red pleated dress, $2,608, because it is just so sexy, so red, so Versace!

I asked you all to go Fab Finding to put together a drop dead Milan Fashion Week outfit around this dress. Not everything had to be Versace but it is molto frio in Milan so you had to keep that in mind! To see all the Milan Fashion Week fab finds click here.


Look #1, found by dyenick3140 is very Donatella diva with this Dolce & Gabbana Leopard Print Trench and Versace Quilted Madonna Bag.

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

I must admit: I am not the biggest Posh fan; usually too done up and dressed over the top.

I must admit: I am not the biggest Posh fan; usually too done up and dressed over the top. Also, always wearing her sunglasses, hiding, if you will. That said, I love this grey ensemble with just a hint of color. Dressing down does wonders for you Ms. Beckham. Have any of you noticed the no purse trend lately?

Love It or Hate It

Look From Gareth Pugh Fall 2007: Love It or Hate It?

Wowsers! Gareth Pugh is a young designer who just showed his Fall 2007 collection in London and was profiled in Vogue this month; this look really makes me wonder why.

Wowsers! Gareth Pugh is a young designer who just showed his Fall 2007 collection in London and was profiled in Vogue this month; this look really makes me wonder why. While it is important for fashion to have its misfits and hooligans, hello John Galliano?, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint who the real tastemakers are. Pieces from Pugh's previous collections were commissioned by Kylie Minogue, and he's a hit with the London underground art scene, but what can one say about this plasticized look. I'll let you do the talking...Love it of hate it?
