Fab Finding

Fab Finding Follow Up: Fireworks on the Roof!

I'm so excited! Fourth of July is tomorrow, which means two awesome things: some time to relax and fireworks.

I'm so excited! Fourth of July is tomorrow, which means two awesome things: some time to relax and fireworks. So get out your barbeque pits, roast some hot dogs, gather some friends, and enjoy watching fireworks from a roof!

I started you off with these Morning Glories,$6.55 for 72, to wave around and get you in that Independence Day mood! To see all the roof fireworks 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 tigerlyllie21 is perfect - the clothes are lightweight and totally cute, and everything hints at the right colors without being cheesy.

Handbags

On Our Radar: Christian Louboutin Handbags

The man who some would argue makes the sexiest (and most covetable) red-soled shoes on earth is now foraying into handbags, because he "had a lot of customers ask [him] for bags to go with specific shoes."

The man who some would argue makes the sexiest (and most covetable) red-soled shoes on earth is now foraying into handbags, because he "had a lot of customers ask [him] for bags to go with specific shoes." Well, la de da! New York Magazine put together a brief video interview with Mr. Louboutin which previews some of his bags - lots of clutches, mostly in black, some sequined, some satin fuchsia, and one furry green number all come into view.

Bergdorf already has a couple of Louboutin handbags for sale, but I would venture to say that it would be better to wait until the bags he was previewing come out - they're way hotter!

Fashion Flash

Fab Flash: Eva Longoria Marrying in Chanel...And Vera!

As her wedding fast approaches (7.7.07!), Eva Longoria is coming down to the wire on a few of those big bridal decisions - like what she's going to wear.

As her wedding fast approaches (7.7.07!), Eva Longoria is coming down to the wire on a few of those big bridal decisions - like what she's going to wear.

But the decision has finally been made - sort of. It seems that Eva couldn't really decide: she's wearing Chanel couture for her civil ceremony, and a $75,000 Vera Wang dress embroidered by 20 seamstresses for the church. Sounds lavish!

Not that it's embarrassing to have a black American Express, but just in case you're sick of getting looks left and right when you bust it out, there's a chic solution: these Charles & Marie Credit Covers, $10.

Not that it's embarrassing to have a black American Express, but just in case you're sick of getting looks left and right when you bust it out, there's a chic solution: these Charles & Marie Credit Covers, $10. They're one of those things that when you first find out they exist, you say to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?!"

They come in four different designs - Ohmygawd (pictured), Louis the XIV, Burr & Berries and Bandera Mexicana - and are the perfect way to dress up and protect your credit cards, debit cards, or bus passes! Your name and credit card number are still visible so it's easy and convenient to use.

Celebrity Style

Celebrity Style: Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway looked so darling while she and her boyfriend took a romantic stroll in Paris yesterday.

Anne Hathaway looked so darling while she and her boyfriend took a romantic stroll in Paris yesterday. There's nothing dramatic or highly innovative about her look, but then again, she's walking the streets and not the red carpet! I love the big buttons on her swing jacket and the oversized buckle on her purse. Seems her wardrobe in The Devil Wears Prada taught her well!

Look of the Day

Look of the Day: Cream of the Crop

littlemissme is looking like a modern-day Grecian goddess in her draped and gathered cream of the crop look.

littlemissme is looking like a modern-day Grecian goddess in her draped and gathered cream of the crop look. She proves that ivory can look good on paler skin, and I like how she broke up the monochromatic look with a darker belt. Very classic and sophisticated!

Here's what she's wearing:

  • Dress: Monki
  • Top: Indiska
  • Shoes: Vintage
  • Belt: Vintage

Congrats to littlemissme!

Christian Dior

Fall 2007 Couture: Christian Dior

The haute couture show is always an extravagant event in itself, but when you're celebrating your 60th anniversary like the house of Christian Dior was yesterday, you really go all out.

The haute couture show is always an extravagant event in itself, but when you're celebrating your 60th anniversary like the house of Christian Dior was yesterday, you really go all out. 1,000 people were invited to the show, asked to adhere to a dress code of "extreme elegance," and treated to somewhat of a supermodel reunion (Naomi, Linda, Gisele, Helena, Amber, but sadly no Kate), all of which took place - on top of everything else - at L'Orangerie at Versailles.

But then John Galliano has never been one for the minimal runway show approach - never from a man who ends his show by walking out in full matador costume! The collection itself took influence from the age-old pastime of creating living portraits, and sent his models out dressed as though they had walked out of an Impressionist, Pre-Raphaelite or Goya painting - bounties of billowing fabric, rich colors and corsetry. Other models, like Gisele, were a walking image of black and white photography. Like any Galliano show, there were hits and misses, but all in all, a wonderful tribute - to both the great Dior, and the great masters of art.

Battle of the Dior: Von Teese vs. Bellucci

As expected, Dita showed up to the Christian Dior couture show looking gorgeous and dramatic as ever.

As expected, Dita showed up to the Christian Dior couture show looking gorgeous and dramatic as ever. Only she can wear a pastel color like lavender and make it look so bold! Monica is also a sight for sore eyes and a tad goth in her asymmetrical black gown with train. Both looks rock my world. Who gets your vote?

Battle of the Dior: Coppola vs. Green

Didn't we just say pink is the new black?

Didn't we just say pink is the new black? Nothing says drama, and fun, like a daring fuchsia dress. Sofia looks more primped than usual and is in full-force red and fuchsia Dior - awesome. Eva decided to really pile on the drama with a Japanese-inspired getup from Galliano's Spring Dior couture collection. The winner depends on whether you're into a more girlie look or you're a drama queen. You decide!
