In support of her new collection for Topshop, it was just announced that on May 8th Ms. Moss will be coming to Barneys New York!

Barneys will be the only retailer carrying her Topshop collection in the US. In the past, Barneys has sold other Topshop pieces, such as Stretch Skinny Jeans, which have been extremely successful. To bring even more drama to the event, the famed Simon Doonan will be installing the windows for the collection.

Julie Gilhart, Fashion director of Barneys New York, is pretty stoked about the line. She has already set aside a grey t-shirt that is embellished with metal studs as well as a little chiffon dress - lucky her!

Fab's Spring Handbag Guide! Small Shoulder Bags

Hey ladies! Get funky with these small shoulder bags.

Hey ladies! Get funky with these small shoulder bags. This is actually one of my all time favorite styles! They are ladylike and urban wrapped into one; because of this you can dress it up or funk it down. I don't carry lots of stuff on a regular basis, especially on the weekends when I prefer to lighten my load, so if you don't need an over-sized tote, right this way please...

Be sure to tune in all week long to see my Fab Spring Handbag Guide. Just can't get enough? Join the Ooh! Cute purses! group founded by justjaime27.

I've really got to hand it to Boucheron for being so daring, decadent and creative with their Les Fiances Engagement Ring!

I've really got to hand it to Boucheron for being so daring, decadent and creative with their Les Fiances Engagement Ring!

The setting is made from white gold and is crafted in the shape of a human hand. Since it is engagement week, I thought I'd share this unique ring with you.

The ring is available exclusively in Boucheron stores worldwide and the cost depends on the size of the diamond you choose.

How do you feel about it? Would you be excited or totally disappointed if your boyfriend proposed with this ring in hand?

Beauty Byte: Scentest Robotic Frangrance Spritzers

New from Scentest Communication is a new concept in fragrance testing.

New from Scentest Communication is a new concept in fragrance testing. They have created a five feet tall by one foot wide pod-like kiosk adorned with visuals of a particular scent. These kiosks will be placed in stores and malls next to perfume counters and will have a dropper opening on the right side, where scent is dispensed from a 300-ml. reservoir located inside the unit.

In addition to dispensing fragrance samples, they will also display advertising for that brand, for which the company charges an ad rate. It is said that these pods will replace traditional human "spritzers" who are hired by fragrance companies to promote and spray their perfumes to those who pass by.

Some Scentesters have already begun popping up at about 78 malls on the East and West coasts. About seven tester kiosks will go into every mall which is projected to be approximately 550 in total.

Participating brands include: Armani fragrances, Ralph Lauren Fragrances, Kenzo, Bulgari, Calvin Klein, Cerruti, Cacharel, Lancôme, Paul Smith, YSL Beauté and Azzaro.

Look Of The Day: Office Rock Star

Today's look of the day is an office rock star!

Today's look of the day is an office rock star! PartySugar says that she felt inspired by Axl Rose (one of Fab's all time favorites) and has always wanted to be a rocker. This is a fun and edgy casual look that can take you from day to night.

Isn't it amazing what an accessory can do. With a quick tie of a scarf, she's transformed the look entirely. Here's what this office rock star is wearing:

Trend Alert: Springy Lace Tops

Lace is one of those fabrics that works for both cold and warm weather.

Lace is one of those fabrics that works for both cold and warm weather. It's really amazing how versatile it is actually; you can have the same style top and just switch the colors from say a dark burgundy to a bright coral and poof! You have a Springy lace top. I like lace for both seasons, but I like how for Spring the skin has a better chance of peeking through, adding to the old school allure of lace used for lingerie. Here are a few fun Springy lace tops - I suggest pairing them with a modern leather motorcycle jacket to toughen them up. Or wear them under a vest for a sexy menswear look.

How Do You Prefer Ashlee's Hair?

Wow. Ashlee Simpson looks totally different in all of these pictures.

Wow. Ashlee Simpson looks totally different in all of these pictures. I really like the soft and solid color of her hair in the third image best, but I have to hand it to a gal who isn't afraid of change. Constantly coloring your hair this dramatically sure takes a lot of courage. Which do you prefer?
