Fab Finding Follow Up: Comfy on the Big Day

On Monday, we kicked off "Wedding Weekend Week" - which is about everything you need for the Big Day.

On Monday, we kicked off "Wedding Weekend Week" - which is about everything you need for the Big Day. Weddings take absurd amounts of planning beforehand and even on the big day itself, there's always plenty to do before the ceremony - you'll need a nice comfortable outfit to get your hair and makeup done in, whether you're a bride or a bridesmaid.

I started you off with these Keds Zero Maria Cornejo Peep Toe Ballet Flat, $59.95. To see all the big day comfy clothes 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 adorable - the shorts are perfect for running around like mad doing errands and the shirt is button-down so it won't mess up your hair or makeup!

If you dream about Tory Burch flats, and follow the lives of the true NY socialites, be sure to pick up A Privileged Life: Celebrating Wasp Style, $26.40.


If you dream about Tory Burch flats, and follow the lives of the true NY socialites, be sure to pick up A Privileged Life: Celebrating Wasp Style, $26.40. Written by design expert, Susanna Salk, this book is a tribute to the designers and icons of the somewhat stuffy, somewhat fabulous style of the Wasp.

For those perplexed, think of Charlotte York from Sex and the City. Total Wasp. These ladies are prim and proper in both demeanor and style, but they love a good party and scandal. Go figure. So put on your cashmere cardi, pour a glass of bubbly and cozy up with designers like Lilly Pulitzer and Waspy legends like C.Z. Guest. Toodles!

Last Minute Bridal Emergency Tips!

I'd like to think that I'll be all calm and collected on my wedding day, but s*&t happens right?

Style for Style: Breaking in New Shoes

I recently purchased my first pair of Chanel flats and wore them for the first time yesterday!

I recently purchased my first pair of Chanel flats and wore them for the first time yesterday! I promised myself I'd sport them every single day for a year, so as to make every penny I paid for them worth it. Well, after only wearing them once, my little toes got red blisters on them and I had to break my promise...temporarily! I went out and bought some ped socks, but it was too late. Plus, the Chanels don't look as pretty with those ugly not-socks sticking out from the sides!

Look of the Day

Look of the Day: Purple Fiesta!

I really love Michelin's chic yet fun purple fiesta outfit - it almost looks nautical to me with the white pants and tan belt, but instead of the predictable navy top, she used purple!

I really love Michelin's chic yet fun purple fiesta outfit - it almost looks nautical to me with the white pants and tan belt, but instead of the predictable navy top, she used purple! This is a great example of how to take vintage pieces and make them look really modern.

Here's what she has on:

  • Top: Vintage
  • Pants: Unknown
  • Shoes: Vintage
  • Belt: Old Navy

Congrats to Michelin!

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Sarah Michelle Gellar

I don't normally care for an all-black look because, in many instances, it can look boring and blah.

I don't normally care for an all-black look because, in many instances, it can look boring and blah. That is definitely not the case for Sarah Michelle Gellar, seen here roaming the streets of NYC. I think the actress looks fresh and sleek in her head-to-toe black ensemble. The reason this monochrome look isn't drab to me is because the ruching gives the trapeze dress character, and the low v-neck shows some skin!

Fab Flash: Sienna Miller the Face of Tod's

There's a first time for everything.


There's a first time for everything. Tod's has announced that Sienna Miller will get the privilege of being the first celebrity to appear in one of its advertising campaigns. She posed for the fall campaign last month at the Manhattan restaurant Megu, and the ads will appear in fashion magazines starting in August. I'm kind of digging the sleek look of the ad, from Sienna's hair to the all-black outfit, to the shine of the bag! What do you think?

Glitterati: Bing Bang

Bing Bang was recently nominated by the CFDA for the 2007 Swarovski Award for Accessories Design, and sadly lost out to Loeffler Randall, but that won't stop Brooklyn-based designer Anna Sheffield.

Bing Bang was recently nominated by the CFDA for the 2007 Swarovski Award for Accessories Design, and sadly lost out to Loeffler Randall, but that won't stop Brooklyn-based designer Anna Sheffield. She's got a penchant for mixing metals (silver, steel, brass... you name it) and producing some way cool pieces like the ring on the left. Her background is in metalworking, hence the company name - it references the sound of a hammer against an anvil. Pieces from the Bing Bang collection are available from Shopbop.

Lindsay Lohan

On Our Radar: Herve Leger

Herve Leger's iconic "bandage" dresses have been everywhere on the red carpet lately: on Lindsay Lohan at the Maxim Hot 100 Party, on Amanda Bynes at the MTV Movie Awards, and on Jessica Simpson at the Cannes Film Festival.


Herve Leger's iconic "bandage" dresses have been everywhere on the red carpet lately: on Lindsay Lohan at the Maxim Hot 100 Party, on Amanda Bynes at the MTV Movie Awards, and on Jessica Simpson at the Cannes Film Festival. Max Azria of BCBG, who acquired the Herve Leger label in 1998, has really been doing good business!

There's no doubt about it: the celebs love those figure-hugging stretchy strips of fabric that make up a Leger dress, and so do I. The styles are just so sexy! The best part about it all is that Leger is available at Intermix, with prices ranging from $515 to $1,485.
