Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

Ok, I know everyone is sort of on Paris-overload, but just look at this virginal little outfit she wore on Larry King Live.

Ok, I know everyone is sort of on Paris-overload, but just look at this virginal little outfit she wore on Larry King Live. I don't think Paris will change her ways because of her brief stint in "jail," but her wardrobe sure has experienced a transformation. What do you all think: will she keep up her goody-goody image?

Fabworthy: Isaac Mizrahi Sunset Stripe Cotton Dress

As the man Mizrahi said himself, this dress has "every pink and orange and red a girl could want."

As the man Mizrahi said himself, this dress has "every pink and orange and red a girl could want." It also has all the tell-tale signs of a Mizrahi design: color-blocking, bright summery colors, a great shape...basically, this Isaac Mizrahi Sunset Stripe Cotton Faille Dress, $285, could make any bad day cheery!

It can easily transition from under a cute cardigan at work to displaying its true colors all alone at night - this baby has some personality! Just imagine how fab it would look with a flirty pair of espadrilles...

Fab Flash: Ugly Betty - The Reality Version?

Ugly Betty has been such a success, VH1 is developing a reality show called America The Ugly which is said to be loosely based on Betty.

Ugly Betty has been such a success, VH1 is developing a reality show called America The Ugly which is said to be loosely based on Betty. The premise of the show investigates what happens to unattractive women who are working in the fashion and modeling industries. Becky Southwick, the fork-tongued former Wilhelmina Models executive who gained fame for calling girls fat on VH1's The Agency, is also involved.

I've been tired of the reality-show phenomenon for some time now, and this show sounds a little low-brow to me - what do you all think?

Honeymoon Packing Guide: Make it All Fit!

Let me guess: wedding planning has taken up all your time and you haven't yet thought of a packing strategy for your honeymoon.


Let me guess: wedding planning has taken up all your time and you haven't yet thought of a packing strategy for your honeymoon. Fret not because Fab is here to help! Whether you're jetting off to Tahiti, Paris or Vegas, there are basic packing tricks to save space and time - including beauty essentials. To avoid a major headache, be sure to learn some tips on getting organized pre-honeymoon.

  • Roll every possible item of clothing you can along the inside of your superfly luggage creating a border along the suitcase wall. You can fold pants and jeans, and then plop toiletries in the middle of your border of rolls.
  • Put your shoes in shoe bags or old plastic bags and wherever you see empty space in between clothes, shove your shoes there!
  • To save space in your luggage, and to prevent theft, pack your jewelry in your carry on.
  • Carry the biggest purse you're planning on taking on the plane. Pack the smaller ones (i.e. clutches, etc) in your luggage - remember you only need a couple favorites that go with everything!
  • Pack black, white and nude bras - and maybe one fun colored one. Oh, and don't forget your strapless bras for those scanty tops!
  • Travel detergent is a must; when I travel is the only time I hand wash. Plus, foreign countries have really harsh detergent sometimes. Try this Travel Laundry Kit, $8.
  • Scarves are great for travel because they can serve as headgear, neckgear, a cuddle up on the plane, purse accessory or belt.

Simply Fab: Atypyk Cherry on Top Candle

Cherries taste yummy, but they sure have an ability to look darn cute when you can't eat them!

Cherries taste yummy, but they sure have an ability to look darn cute when you can't eat them! These Atypyk Cherry on Top Candles, $7 each, are so adorable, I don't know if I could bring myself to burn them. Their stem functions as the candle wick, and they smell like candy! Perfect to decorate a kitchen - and they look good enough to eat!

Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Paris is officially a free woman.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Paris is officially a free woman. Leave it to the heiress to turn her exit from jail into a grand entrance into the real world. And, in Paris' world, a grand entrance calls for some grand clothes. Although her outfit isn't one of her best, it's still chic considering she was in a bright orange jumpsuit just moments before!

Is anyone else super excited for all the fantastically fresh prints and shapes one can wear to art school this Fall? Florals and stripes has been pushed to the side by unique prints channeling everything from constructivism to modernist honeycombs - see Marni for a lesson in cool. As someone who is picky about her prints, I can't wait to go back to school.

Check out all my Fall 2007 coverage here!

BET Awards: Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" Costume

While Beyonce's gold sci-fi performance outfit at the BET Awards may seem over-the-top - it's so cool to see someone wearing the gold mirrored leggings from Balenciaga's Spring collection!

While Beyonce's gold sci-fi performance outfit at the BET Awards may seem over-the-top - it's so cool to see someone wearing the gold mirrored leggings from Balenciaga's Spring collection! I know they are extreme but I give props to performers like Beyonce for bringing them to the stage to razzle dazzle us. How else are we going to see runway looks the real way. Well, you know how I feel - do you love it or hate it?
