Love It or Hate It

Moschino Jeweled Pump: Love It or Hate It?

Lolipop89 alerted us to these Moschino Cheap & Chic Jeweled Pumps, on sale for $130 (originally $515) in the Love It or Hate It?

Lolipop89 alerted us to these Moschino Cheap & Chic Jeweled Pumps, on sale for $130 (originally $515) in the Love It or Hate It? group. Upon first glance, I kind of like them, especially the jeweled detailing. I am not so attracted to the bow as it looks a bit too stiff and forced. In other words, I am not in love, but I'm not hating either. What do you think?

Found! Eva & Jessica's Fringe Leather Handbag

You asked...we found! This Gerard Darel Fringe Bag, $895, has been the recent favorite of not only Eva Longoria but Jessica Alba likes the white version.

You asked...we found! This Gerard Darel Fringe Bag, $895, has been the recent favorite of not only Eva Longoria but Jessica Alba likes the white version. Though this bag does not come cheap, I actually like it better than the Prada bag that started it all. It's a nice mix of buttery leather and boho fringe. Enjoy!

Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2007

Scarlett Johansson is back as the face of Louis Vuitton in the company's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign.

Scarlett Johansson is back as the face of Louis Vuitton in the company's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign. I am happy to see that she actually looks like herself this time! I'm also glad that the LV goods she's modeling are actually something I would consider buying, unlike those lace-infested Dentelle Speedy bags. In these photos, the actress oozes glamour and sex appeal, two things she is very good at. I am absolutely in love with her hair-do in these shots, as well as the patent red shoes! Though, she is extremely pale, but that was probably the artistic intention.

LV creative director Marc Jacobs said that he based his Fall/Winter collection around Scarlett's character in 2003's The Girl with the Pearl Earring. The ads are shot by Vuitton regulars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and are slated to appear in fashion magazines in August.

Fab Finding

Come Fab Finding With Me: An Escape to Wine Country

With Summer a weekend away I was reminiscing about a little (romantic) escape I once made to the wine country.

With Summer a weekend away I was reminiscing about a little (romantic) escape I once made to the wine country. If you haven't yet had a chance to take a taxi, or limo, around a wine country to taste all the delightful vini out there I recommend doing so. It's such a delight! However, it is exhausting so remember to pace yourself so you can last. I'm going to start you off with this Urban Outfitters Striped Floral Scarf, on sale for $15 (originally $28), because it reminds me of a 1994 Chateau Petrus Grand Vin Bordeaux I once had. AND, it's very Balenciaga Fall '07.

Let's all go Fab Finding for some fabulous wine tasting ensembles! Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with wine country.

Oh! Now, you can be your own stylist and 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.

American Apparel

Fabworthy: American Apparel Mustard Jersey Dress

American Apparel is my go-to place for quick, cheap cotton staples.

American Apparel is my go-to place for quick, cheap cotton staples. You may all recall Cameron Diaz' total American Apparel-attainable outfit. Even more, their prices are great and the color selections are a dream for those who like to mix and match.

This Mélange Jersey Sleeveless Funnel Neck Shift Dress, $34, is right up my alley. I know the mustard color isn't for everyone but for those with olive skin or very fair skin it works, and the cowl neck is retro fun. I would pair it with some exotic flats, an arm full of bangles and a white handbag - so Fab!

Are You Over Little Sequin Dresses?

I was really stoked when sequins came back in style last Fall.

I was really stoked when sequins came back in style last Fall. On simply cut dresses, they add a big dose of razzle dazzle that is just so much fun. Six months later, we have seen multitudes of little sequin dresses - especially on the red carpet. Then, we started seeing double of the same sequin dresses. These are ideal for the flashing paparazzi and way fun for a boogie night but I think I'm starting to go sequin dizzy. Too much, too fast. Are you over little sequin dresses?

Luxtan is a MJ gal and, as you know, so am I!

Luxtan is a MJ gal and, as you know, so am I! This fashion maven means business here in her light blue tank, black skinny jeans, Marc Jacobs quilted tote and Treo. Good call on keeping everything in the outfit basic so that the bag is the standout.

Here's what she has on:

  • Tank: BCBG
  • Jeans: 7 for all Mankind
  • Bag: Marc Jacobs
  • Shoes: Tory Burch
  • Sunglasses: Dior Glossy

Congrats to Luxtan!

Founders of MonaMoore.com, Anna and Lisa, like so many of us, fantasize about shoes and handbags.

Founders of MonaMoore.com, Anna and Lisa, like so many of us, fantasize about shoes and handbags. They turned their fantasy into a reality with the opening of their Montreal-based boutique in Fall 2002. Lucky for us non-Canadians, in Fall 2004, their business went online. Four times a year, the duo travels to Paris, Milan and New York to bring us the crème de la crème in shoes and handbags. Their collection features styles from Dries Van Noten, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Lanvin, Ann Demeulemeester, Azzedine Alaia, Marni and many more.

They offer free shipping in North America and are happy to exchange and refund items if you're not highly satisfied. But that is quite unlikely because once you lay eyes on their goods, you'll never want to look away!
