Naomi Campbell

FABTV: Naomi as Tina?

Leave it to Ms.

Leave it to Ms. Naomi Campbell to turn lemons into lemonade. She shook the tabloids recently with her high-fashion sanitation duty getups. Now, she is shaking her bootie for a W Magazine Cover Video shot by Steven Klein. It appears to be a tribute to her time serving the community; in the "Naomi Diaries" she confesses she met a lot of nice people while serving time that "were afraid to talk to her, but she spoke to them." Nevertheless, it's quite fun to see Naomi get down in a bouncy white frock. Get down girl, go on get down!

Fab Finding

Fab Finding Follow Up: A Fab Business Card Holder

I recently confided in you that I don't have a super stylish business card holder but hello?!

I recently confided in you that I don't have a super stylish business card holder but hello?! I certainly need one! So what immediately came to mind was this Louis Vuitton Business Card Holder, $170. But I'm not so sure I want: A) to spend this much moolah, and B) a non-colored holder. This one is brown but I like the idea of a flash of color when handing someone my 'FabSugar Editor' business card. The other thing I don't like about this one is that flap - I feel it would be flapping and therefore spilling all up in my handbag.

I asked you all to go Fab Finding for a fabulous business card holder for me. And seriously, I will be purchasing one from your finds and the winner wins a Fab tee! To see all the biz card holder fab finds click here. Let's see who chose the winner!

Fab Find #1 is my absolute fave and I am buying this today! Found by daddio49, this Kate Spade gold business card holder is perfect. Chic, a tuckable flap and the gold metallic adds just the right amount of flash. Thanks daddio49!

Litew8lady pointed out these grey pinstripe pumps, $20, in the Love It or Hate It? group. I for one am not too hot on them. In my fashion book, pinstripes should be left to business attire and business attire only. What do you all think?

Swimwear

Wet n' Wild: Exotica

Want to look bodacious in Bali or Bora Bora?

Want to look bodacious in Bali or Bora Bora? Somewhere exotic with pristine beaches and little umbrella adorned cocktails would be my pick to accompany these exotica suits. While I envision these worn with a deep, sultry tan, they are built-in sexy with their tropical prints all you need is a male model at your side and you're good to go! Go jump from a waterfall that is! Go on, get wet n' wild.

Diane von Furstenberg Triangle Bikini Top, $80, and Diane von Furstenberg String Bikini Bottoms, $80.

Attention starlets: you have some serious competition.

Attention starlets: you have some serious competition. Not only did I feature Cam's bright and beautiful Shrek 3 look just the other day, but she was glowing at the Costume Institute Gala this week. She is on a roll! Not that I mind featuring Cam often, but she is really putting other fashionista celebs to shame. Here she is stopping by The Today Show managing to look both cool and flirty.

The cult womenswear label, Antipodium has taken the London fashion scene by storm with its eclecticism and dose of intelligence.

Launched in 2003 during London Fashion Week, Antipodium now has three boutiques: one in Soho, one on New Bond Street in London and the other in Shoreditch. Its self-titled debut Spring/Summer 2007 collection, titled Buttons Up!, is the result of the collaboration between Antipodium director Geoffrey J. Finch, founder Ashe Peacock and her Western Australia-based designer sis Fenella.

Created and produced both in London and Australia, the collection marries Australian irreverence with a London sensibility and wit. All items in the collection retail for less than $250 and include femme dresses, simple tops, trousers and skirts.

Style for Style: White Handbag Stains

You know the story: you finally muster up the guts to purchase the perfect white handbag and to your dismay, the bozo sitting next to you on the train accidentally leaves a pen stain on it while writing in his "diary."

You know the story: you finally muster up the guts to purchase the perfect white handbag and to your dismay, the bozo sitting next to you on the train accidentally leaves a pen stain on it while writing in his "diary." What to do? Pinupsweetheart wanted to know, so I'm here to say that it's okay to panic for a minute, but you must get over it fast and do something before it's too late.
