Gucci Snow Glam Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

No offense to Gucci, but this Gucci Snow Glam Medium Hobo, $1,895, looks like one of those leather motorcycle jackets turned into a bag!

No offense to Gucci, but this Gucci Snow Glam Medium Hobo, $1,895, looks like one of those leather motorcycle jackets turned into a bag! It's from the Fall collection, so I understand why the colors are muted. Still, it's too sporty for me. Would you carry it?

Fab Finding Follow Up: Golf Date with Daddio

When I was little my dad used to take me out to the driving range, and I loved it - so for old times' sake I am taking my dad out for a round on the ol' golf course.

When I was little my dad used to take me out to the driving range, and I loved it - so for old times' sake I am taking my dad out for a round on the ol' golf course.

I asked you to help me pick out a Fabworthy outfit and started you off with this adorable Juicy Couture Terry Visor, $18 (originally $45), to shield my face from the sun. To see all the golf date fab finds go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Who Wore It Better? Juicy Couture Blue Printed Dress

The print of both super cute Juicy Couture dresses that Eva Mendes and Lindsay Lohan recently wore is identical, but the cuts are very different.

The print of both super cute Juicy Couture dresses that Eva Mendes and Lindsay Lohan recently wore is identical, but the cuts are very different. Eva's is long and smocked, while Lindsay's is short with spaghetti straps. Eva's is a bit more interesting, but I like the way Lindsay wore her mini version better. Who do you think wore it better?

Fall 2007 Couture: Chanel

The Chanel couture show may have taken place amidst rainy weather, the front row attendees may have ruined their shoes in the mud, but the clothes were anything but downtrodden.

The Chanel couture show may have taken place amidst rainy weather, the front row attendees may have ruined their shoes in the mud, but the clothes were anything but downtrodden. In fact, the bad weather made the stunning designs stand out even more.

The show opened with variations on the classic Chanel suit, with detailing from sequins to leather to feathers, and closed with the bride covered head to toe in a fantastic feathered dress. Karl Lagerfeld seemed to take inspiration from medieval times - the head coverings remind me of the chain mail knights wore under their helmets, the feathers seem reminiscent of the Middle Age pastime of falconry, and a couple of the dresses seem very Maid Marian. All in all, another masterpiece from Karl!

Found! Kim Kardashian's Mint Dress

Kim Kardashian wore this lovely Mint Artsy Yoke Dress, on sale for $290 (originally $385) to the recent Sicko premiere in LA.

Kim Kardashian wore this lovely Mint Artsy Yoke Dress, on sale for $290 (originally $385) to the recent Sicko premiere in LA. I'm so used to seeing Kim in skin-tight getups that it's a bit weird to find her in something so loose and demure. Nevertheless, the multicolored dress is very girly and would look great for both day or night.

Trend Alert: Rose Gold

Cast a warm glow wherever you go with a lovely piece of rose gold jewelry.

Cast a warm glow wherever you go with a lovely piece of rose gold jewelry. Often seen as old-fashioned, rose gold is the black sheep in the gold family. Today's offerings are modern and sweet; for an interesting look, layer rose gold with white gold - the combination is a cool one of hot and cold. I've grown to appreciate the subtle glow of rose gold, have you?

The Bag To Have: Lauren Merkin Cassie Beach Tote

The beach is whispering your name...can you hear it?!

The beach is whispering your name...can you hear it?! No? Okay, just play along!

Pick up this fabulous Lauren Merkin Cassie Beach Tote, $195, throw on your cool one-piece swimsuit, and get moving. Not only is this tote great because it has room to fit everything in it, it's also pretty darn cute on the arm. It comes in several colors (yellow, black, off-white) and serves double duty as a city tote. The price is not half bad, either.

What really makes this bag worthy of our time is the gold leather trim. Without it, it would look just like any old beach tote. So even if you still can't hear the water whispering your name, buy this beauty and be prepared to be the talk of the town, er, beach.

Fall Glimpse: Perfect Pumps

While I always look to Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere for magnificiantly over-the-top shoes, it appears his creations are in the minority for Fall.

While I always look to Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere for magnificiantly over-the-top shoes, it appears his creations are in the minority for Fall. Perfect pumps in modern, classic shapes strutted down the runways - and what is that I see? A variation of pointed toes? Could the round toe be making a departure? Perhaps. I adore this black pump with wooden heel at Yves Saint Laurent - talk about a power shoe!

Check out all my Fall 2007 coverage here!

J Crew

On Our Radar: J. Crew Crewmutts!

I know these little snugglers don't need any clothes - they look perfectly happy all furry and naked - but get ready because Crewmutts is in the J.Crew lineup!

I know these little snugglers don't need any clothes - they look perfectly happy all furry and naked - but get ready because Crewmutts is in the J.Crew lineup!

Supposedly the preppy but way Fab retailer filed a patent for Crewmutts with products for dogs, including leashes, clothing, dog beds, shoes, bathing products, blankets, bowls, life jackets, toys and treats. J.Crew feels:

"...the higher-end dog clothing and accessories market seems fragmented, comprised largely of local boutiques. Therefore, this could be an opportunity to take share, both as the stores and online, of a customer who generally may be less price-resistant to decking out their dog."

I love me some J.Crew cashmere, ribbed tanks, and costume jewelry every now and again, and I'm sure Annabelle would too!
