Fab Flash: Reese To Be The Next Face of Estee Lauder?




This was a cosmetics poster girl waiting to happen. It is rumoured that Reese may be the next Estee Lauder gal. If so, our fab favorite would be joining the ranks of Gwyneth Paltrow, Liya Kebede, Carolyn Murphy, Elizabeth Hurley, and, most recently, Hilary Rhoda (love her!). There is nothing concrete but supposedly there have been early stages of discussion. Reese has never graced any beauty brand with her presence yet, so it would be a first for the Oscar-winning 31-year-old actress. Hmmm, I wonder if she would be wearing her red carpet favorite Nina Ricci by Oliver Theyskens in any of the (hopeful) future EL shoots. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Love It or Hate It

Jeffry Campbell Nude Ankle Booties: Love It or Hate It?

Lately I'm loving everything nude.

Lately I'm loving everything nude. Wait, that could be misconstrued. You know what I mean! I'm anticipating my skin browning a bit from the sun, er, fake tanner, and nude can be very sexy - especially when paired with dramatic black. However I am not sure about these Jeffry Campbell Nude Ankle Booties, $80, found by SaraSmile in the Love It or Hate It? group. SaraSmile sums it up in so many words: "I think I love them...maybe. What do you think?" Spill ladies.

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

I think it's safe to say today is Kate day!

I think it's safe to say today is Kate day! First she popped up in my Link Time, then there was the Kate Moss/Topshop update - I don't think you all mind a day of Kate do you? Here she is dinner hopping in her hometown looking sultry and shiny in a gunmetal ensemble. I'm guessing about half of it is in fact from her highly anticipated collection; it's always refreshing to see celeb designers in their own creations! There aren't that many broads who can pull off a long silky skirt with cool black moccasin boots, but I most certainly encourage it.

Wedding Jewelry: Find Bling that Suits Your Style

Whether you plan on being a princess bride, you're a gal who loves to look au natural on her big day, or you're going to ditch tradition and do things your way, choosing the perfect jewelry should be at the top of your priority list.

Whether you plan on being a princess bride, you're a gal who loves to look au natural on her big day, or you're going to ditch tradition and do things your way, choosing the perfect jewelry should be at the top of your priority list. While we have heard about the Disney bridal gowns (thanks wynter!) there is also Disney wedding jewelry in the mix. Hmmm, we agree with you Fashionista - this is a bit too baby bride for us!

Figuring out seating arrangements and sending out invitations is important, but without some proper ice around your neck, wrist and on your ears, you'll look like a cake without icing. And cake without some frosting is just not as good! Just be warned: some people are sensitive to their bridal bling being admired. Pshht - whatever, you know you like the attention...


Princess brides love to feel glam so this Siman Tu Austrian Crystal Necklace with Fresh Water Pearls is ideal; for pricing and retail info go here. Plus, if you turn it upside down, it has the shape of a tiara and we all know princesses love their tiaras!

Kate Moss

Don't Call Her Copycat Kate!

Here's the latest on Kate Moss's Topshop line due out in T-minus twelve days and counting!

Here's the latest on Kate Moss's Topshop line due out in T-minus twelve days and counting! We stumbled upon a little story via the Daily Mail that is badmouthing our girl a bit. They ask the question: "Has Kate Moss done anything more for the money than open up her own wardrobe?" Well, seeing as how she was approached to do the collection because she is a style icon and has fresh style, I think taking inspiration from her closet is a good start! After all, this was the technique Madonna used for her recent H&M collection. I don't think raiding a coveted closet is such a bad thing...but I would hope in her future collections we see some never-witnessed-before brilliance. Time will tell. In the meantime, May 1st fast approaches and this floral dress has Fab written all over it. To see more of these comparisons click here.

Fab Ad: Chloe Spring/Summer '07

Does anyone else want to be these hippie chic girls?

Does anyone else want to be these hippie chic girls? She's not pictured here but the latest Chloe Spring/Summer ads also feature a brunette with equally shiny tousled hair donning the latest from Chloe. Representing here are the lovely Anja Rubik & Raquel Zimmerman. While I envision myself as the before mentioned brunette I guess one of these blond visions will suffice. The Chloe girls are the Versace girls come undone, or rather, on mushrooms.

What I love about this Fab Ad is the movement, the whimsy, the cool. One of the official new "It" bags, the Chloe Bay Bag, is in the spotlight. And the clothes? Ivory frilly blouses, milky studs and baubles, and fruit punchy hues. Groovy baby. What do you all think?

Wait - isn't Earth Day this weekend? Here's a Fab salute to the day of the green. One last note: that green eyeshadow? Lovely. Anyone want to take a stab at a how-to? I dare you!

Look of the Day

Look of the Day: Lovely in Layers

I'm a sucker for layering so Biochick's lovely in layers ensemble caught my eye right away.

I'm a sucker for layering so Biochick's lovely in layers ensemble caught my eye right away. This is the cutest a gal who's going to take an exam has looked! I adore the scarf and the effortless way she wrapped it around her neck a couple of times. The use of the colors white, black and yellow is also very current and hip.

Here's what she has on:

  • Scarf: Esprit
  • Black Cardigan: Gap
  • Yellow Tank: TNA
  • White Tank: Club Monaco
  • Jeans: Esprit

Congrats to Biochick!

Basic and Beautiful Wedding Hairstyles

Finding the right hairstyle for your wedding day is a big deal, so don't be ashamed or embarrassed to play with different looks.

Finding the right hairstyle for your wedding day is a big deal, so don't be ashamed or embarrassed to play with different looks. I sat through five different trials trying everything from long, wavy extensions to updos. Heck, even celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves said that, "once Carmen Electra selected her wedding dress, I created 13 different hairstyles on her and took a Polaroid of each one so she could select the one which was perfect for her."

This is your day to shine - you should look fabulous! And a great suggestion, Ken. It's important to take a Polaroid so that your stylist knows exactly how to recreate the look. I know it all feels kinda vain, but once you find something you love, you'll be so happy to have one less detail to worry about on your wedding day!

Oh and did I mention that Ken Paves also styled wedding hair for Jessica Simpson and Christina Applegate as well as J.Lo's hair for her wedding scenes in "Monster In Law" and "The Wedding Planner?" I wonder if he'll do Eva Longoria's too, I know she goes to him regularly. To see four popular wedding hairstyles to consider, read more
