Fab Finding Follow Up: A Honeymoon Trek Through Europe!

Earlier in the week, I told you that one of my good friends is getting married and for her honeymoon she's doing a big tour around Europe!

Earlier in the week, I told you that one of my good friends is getting married and for her honeymoon she's doing a big tour around Europe! I asked you to help her out by putting yourself in her fabulous shoes and finding outfits that will be attractive to her new hubbie, but at the same time, comfortable enough to wear while toting luggage, riding trains, and boarding planes!

I started you off with these Versace Round Sunglasses, $190, to keep the sun out of your eyes (and hide your sleep-deprived puffy eyes!)! To see all the europe honeymoon fab finds go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can 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.

Look #1, found by daddio49 is perfect - I always feel like dresses go well with jetsetting, the hat is cute and keeps the sun off your face, and the flats are good for lots of walking!

Designer Spotlight: Chris Benz

Chris Benz may only be 24 years old, but he has been garnering a lot of attention since he debuted his first collection in February at New York Fashion Week.

Chris Benz may only be 24 years old, but he has been garnering a lot of attention since he debuted his first collection in February at New York Fashion Week.

He studied at Parsons School of Design in New York while simultaneously interning at Marc Jacobs for two years. Upon his graduation in 2004, he was awarded the CFDA Emerging Designer Award.

Afterward, he went to work at J. Crew for a time - and when he was ready to venture out on his own and try his hand at his own American sportswear line, his experience at both Marc Jacobs and J. Crew became readily apparent. I expect big things from this guy!

Comfy & Cute Travel Clothes!

I was just on a European adventure and one of the customs officers actually complimented my passport and how many stamps I have - yay!

I was just on a European adventure and one of the customs officers actually complimented my passport and how many stamps I have - yay! So I think it's safe to say I am an experienced traveler - maybe even a jetsetter? I know that some of you dress up when traveling, and some of you don't, but I try to find a happy medium. I must be comfortable, but you know me: I must be chic. I always feel that even though I don't travel First Class, I like to still dress the part.

When traveling to your romantic honeymoon destination, my fantasy is a trip to Tahiti with George Clooney, you'll want to look extra adorable for your new hubbie. Here are some comfy & cute travel clothes that will prove wearable on the rest of your trip...you can save your sexy lingerie for when you finally arrive at your destination!

P.S. You will notice I included leggings in my picks. Now I'm not a fan of leggings but traveling is the one case where I think they are extremely functional & fashionable!

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Eva Pigford

"America's Next Top Model" Season 3 winner, Eva Pigford, looked absolutely iridescent at this year's BET Awards.

"America's Next Top Model" Season 3 winner, Eva Pigford, looked absolutely iridescent at this year's BET Awards. Not only did her multicolored dress match the bright red carpet, it also went perfectly with her caramel skin tone. I love how she minimized her accessories and let the dress take center stage.

Fall Glimpse: Structured Bags

Handbags have taken a turn and are all grown up for Fall.

Handbags have taken a turn and are all grown up for Fall. Start saving up to invest in a seriously grown up carry all made of luxurious materials and architectural detailing. This Michael Kors black stunner is bold and beautiful with its patent sheen and chunky gold hardware. I always say don't take fashion too seriously, but these are some seriously structured bags!

Check out all my Fall 2007 coverage here!

One of our favorite gals, Drew, gets the honor of being the first celebrity tapped by Gucci to appear in one of its ad campaigns! She was photographed for the fine jewelry line in a Paris studio, and the advertisements portray her laying sensually on a golden beach decked out with extravagant jewelry; she looks Fab! The ads will first launch in the September issues of fashion magazines worldwide.

Jewelry

Glitterati: Jami Rodriguez

There are three criteria to appreciating the funky jewelry of Jami Rodriguez: you must be confident, always in demand and never take yourself too seriously.


There are three criteria to appreciating the funky jewelry of Jami Rodriguez: you must be confident, always in demand and never take yourself too seriously. Sound like you? Perfect!

Jami's jewels defy convention because they draw inspiration from the estate jewelry of the golden era - the kitschy charms of the 70s and the nostalgic feel of the 50s.

I am particularly fond of these Gold & Black Tangled Earrings, $102, because they look disheveled and pretty at the same time. They would work when you're trying to achieve an androgynous look.

Check out Jami's Spring 2007 Lookbook; her designs can also be found at LisyB.

  • Top: H&M
