Fab Finding

Fab Finding Follow Up: Becks Watching!

I've suddenly become a huge soccer fan - specifically a huge LA Galaxy fan - I just don't know why (wink).

I've suddenly become a huge soccer fan - specifically a huge LA Galaxy fan - I just don't know why (wink). The other day I was having a sunshine daydream that I was going to see my team play this month so I could try to catch David Beckham's eye. Or, if I don't succeed, maybe I can find Posh and see what Fab outfit she's wearing!

I started you off with this Paul Smith Cropped bomber jacket, $435 (originally $1086), to help me look as posh as Posh. To see all the Becks watching 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 fashionhore is the perfect combination of cute and team-spirited. She based her outfit on the Galaxy colors, gold and royal blue, and still put together a way stylish look - I'm impressed!

Jewelry

Glitterati: St. Kilda Jewelry

How fantastically feminine and whimsy are the offerings of St. Kilda Jewelry?

How fantastically feminine and whimsy are the offerings of St. Kilda Jewelry? The designer, Nora Kogan, spent a good chunk of her life in St. Kilda, a seaside neighborhood outside of Melbourne, Australia. Her goal is to "design and create beautiful jewelry that outlives trends." And that it does. In a range of metals, her designs have a soft touch but manage to have a lot of personality. I especially love her stackable rings and bracelets; you can create a custom look all your own.

Prices range from $150-$800 and some items can be bought via her online store. But if you have absolutely been smitten, as I have, you can find additional retailers here.

Love It or Hate It

Fendi Forever Sequined Borsa: Love It or Hate It?

I'm all for bold colors but not when the end result is an outright tacky handbag like this Fendi Forever Sequined Borsa, $760.

I'm all for bold colors but not when the end result is an outright tacky handbag like this Fendi Forever Sequined Borsa, $760. I just can't believe that Fendi could come up with such a mess. There are way too many clashing colors, details, sequins and logos for my taste.

It seems Leeluvfashion, who posted it in the Love It or Hate It? group is a bit more forgiving. And you?

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Rebecca Gayheart

Actress and former Noxzema model (we'll never forget!) Rebecca Gayheart was sparkling at the Los Angeles premiere of Rush Hour 3.

Actress and former Noxzema model (we'll never forget!) Rebecca Gayheart was sparkling at the Los Angeles premiere of Rush Hour 3. She is the perfect example of how one can wear an all-black ensemble and not look drab. Her LBD has just the right amount of texture with its sequins and mesh. Like Diane Kruger, Rebecca also has a mighty sexy man-cessory to complete her look!

Fab Flash: Paris Hilton Launching Shoe Collection

Paris may have some big shoes to fill (literally, she wears a size 11), but soon enough you'll be able to wear her shoes comfortably - in your own size!

Paris may have some big shoes to fill (literally, she wears a size 11), but soon enough you'll be able to wear her shoes comfortably - in your own size! Early next year, Paris Hilton shoes will arrive in stores, with a focus on the high-end. "My goal is to create a stylish and fun fashion line from head to toe," Paris said of her collection.

Think platforms, stilettos, wedges in bright and bold colors...plus a sport line, oh my!

Trend Alert

Trend Alert - Special Runway Edition! Miu Miu Hosiery

If you're totally on board for some plumage this Fall, I wonder if you will have the want to pull off Miu Miu's unique hosiery styling.

If you're totally on board for some plumage this Fall, I wonder if you will have the want to pull off Miu Miu's unique hosiery styling. Look at the runway selections below, look at the model's midriff areas and look no further for a no doubt Miuccia Prada bizarro styling idea. She decided to pull the top of the pantyhose from under the skirt over the top. Now Miuccia has a way of setting trends, and I'm a Miu Miu devotee, but I'm not so sure of this one. Runway fashion fluke, or does this trend have real staying power? You tell me!
