Carolina Herrera, like Oscar de la Renta, keeps the country club-going ladies who lunch well-clothed throughout the cruise season. She interpreted the name of the season a bit literally - there's a sailor dress, as well as a poolchair-printed fabric used throughout the collection.

But I have to give it to her, she did stick to her staples: the dress, the pencil skirt, the swing coat. I have to say - this is not my favorite collection from Carolina. Some of the detailing seems a little cheap, and the color palette doesn't seem really cohesive - it's a bit all over the place. But if you're a Herrera fan, I'm sure you will be pleased, regardless!

I always love how much a little bit of stenciling can personalize a room, but let's face it - stenciling is a big pain. It takes so much time, and if you mess up at all, you have to start all over again. That's why when I saw these wall stickers, $35-$200, I thought they were such a great idea! They're supposed to be simple to apply and easily removable, and they come in all different sizes, colors, and shapes, from branches to flowers to power poles. What a perfect easy way to add pizazz to a room!

I usually avoid falling for Stella McCartney bags because they are so pricey, and because Stella is a vegan, they are never made of leather. However, this Stella McCartney Treated Canvas Shopper, On sale for $477 (Originally $795), stopped me in my clicks. I am obsessed with anything grey right now, and take note because it is a key color for Fall.

Not only do I love the shape of this bag, but the treated canvas creates a super cool texture. And those three rings on either side look like piercings so they give it an edge. Is this one worth the price? Perhaps.

Quality finds don't always have to cost more, and Fashionsugar has a casual cool look to prove it. Her top only cost $6.99, and yet it's perfect for keeping her cool, both from the heat and in the eyes of others! I love the pairing of the neon colors with the light wash denim! Excellent work!

Here's what she has on:

• Top: K-Mart
• Pants: Forever 21
• Shoes: Old Navy

Congrats to Fashionsugar!

Forever 21 has had such success in the fast fashion business, it's expanding to include a new more sophisticated, more cohesive line: Twelve by Twelve. The Twelve by Twelve collection features everything from faux leopard fur coats to empire dresses and cocktail dresses. Not to worry if you're a fan of the Forever 21 prices; the new line has no piece over $100. The twelvebytwelve.com website will be launched later this month, followed by 10 to 15 in-store boutiques at already existing Forever 21 stores. By fall, a stand-alone Twelve by Twelve shop will be opened at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles. This new line is perfect for those of you who love Forever 21 low prices but have sophisticated taste!

You may recognize the clothing of designer Kristen Coates from such online sites as Couture Candy and Satine Boutique. They are definitely not pieces that mesh into a crowd.

Kristen creates modern and feminine dresses, jumpers, blouses and jackets for the every day woman; the one that likes to dance, work, go to the beach, lounge by the pool, go to fancy dinners and bake cupcakes. Basically, girls like herself! There's so many things that women in this day and age do in their busy lives. Kristen's clothes are aimed to provide comfort and style for the on-the-go gals, which is basically all of us!

The women's designer also has a philanthropic side. Her signature, the Painted Owl, which shows up on some of her pieces, raises awareness for the ongoing effort to support non-profits dedicated to protecting the Earth. Twenty percent of her clothing bearing the Painted Owl are donated to Clean Air - Cool Planet to promote solutions to global warming.

It's so refreshing to see designers doing good with their talent!

I know that many of you think Chloe Sevigny's fashion sense is out there, but here, at the Big Love premiere in LA, she looks undeniably pretty and elegant. The bright orange Prada dress makes her stand out but in the most positive way possible. Only a risk-taker like Chloe is brave enough to try the unlikely combination of orange and salmon pink. And for once in a long time, Chloe actually got her hair done! It really takes the look a notch higher.

Wow, you all are really thinking in black, white, and red this week! At least, that's what your Fab Finds are saying to me. Black, white and red are great colors for making a bold statement, especially in the summer season when everyone is wearing pinks, greens, blues, and yellows!

The Fab Finder of the week is shutupxxjenny, who found the fantastic Andy Warhol-inspired lip plates! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
