So many inspirational modeling poses out there...so little time. Well, Fab is making the time to attempt some of the challenging poses found in our favorite fashion mags like Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Teen Vogue, W and more. The question is: are you up for the challenge?

I will start you off with my imitation of Gap's ad with Selma Blair. The crouched down angular pose is not as easy as it looks! Now I want to see you try. Subscribe to the Strike A Pose! group and then post your photos in there; for this week's pose tag it with "Strike A Pose Challenge 2." I will select the best attempts and feature them on Fab! And the winning post will receive a FabSugar tee to pose away in 24/7.

A Fab favorite for years, Cynthia Rowley’s feminine and artsy aesthetic took a French turn for Spring. Presented in mid-town’s gorgeous circular Gotham Hall, hand-painted cruiser bikes sat on either sides of the runway - at the end of the show models, and Cynthia, rode off for the grand finale!

Called “Le Sportif,” these dames were sporty and sophisticated, but still happy-go-lucky Rowley girls. With an “ice cream” color palette (her words, more on my exclusive interview with her below!), Rowley went sporty and lux with long, flowing shapes and details like pockets, drawstrings and dropped hemlines. There was also color blocking – this is one designer who knows her colors – and obscure knotting and draping treatments. A few nautical numbers were fabulously whimsical and a funky looped ribbon fringe poked fun. The toppers were cat’s eye shades and statement necklaces.

Yours truly was lucky enough to steal Cynthia to pick her fashionable brain. She was glowing in a cobalt blue frock from her Resort collection and her adorable wee daughters were bopping around backstage.

I was so excited to hear that Preen was coming to show in New York this season. Though they have much on their plate, Preen for Topshop literally just debuted, London-based designers Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi did not let my high expectations down.

The color palette was dominated by white, grays, beiges, blues and olives, and the silhouette alternated between slouchy and body-conscious. Silk charmeuse tops paired with sheer tight lace tanks and tailored pants, sexy draped dresses with a patchwork of sequins, jersey, and sheer lace, and slouchy sportswear-inspired jackets all hit the runway with vengeance. Did I mention the T-strap sandals that were totally hot?!

But the best was left for It model Agyness Deyn, a Preen fan herself: a draped sky blue silk charmeuse and lace dress, and an egg-shaped matte white sequined number knotted in the back; absolutely perfect with her shock of platinum hair.

Welcome to America, Preen, I hope you stay for a while...

Ivanka Trump looks quite sophisticated and womanly here at the front row of Ports 1961's show at New York Fashion Week, but that's not surprising given she's Donald's daughter. I love the black and white combo, especially her black patent bag. She looks put together but not stuffy.

A rose is but a rose, but Lela Rose is catering to your socialite roses who like their clothes luxurious, crisp and with a youthful flair.

A simply lovely Spring collection, with a bold rainbow of black, white and key colors like teal and mustard, strong shapes and sheens were eminent throughout. Rich embellishments and fabrics treatments like laser cut looking lace, were balanced out with loose outerwear and playful yet tailored dresses. Soft graphic prints occurred as well as artsy necklaces - both jumping on the art trend that is going to be big for Spring. While one could toss the cropped wide legged gauchos to the Park Ave. curb, Rose proves it's possible to be prim and proper and cool.

I've been working hard to bring you the latest from New York Fashion Week, so I deserve to party hard once the runway lights have dimmed. Like the designers and models, once I'm off duty, I like to look good and let loose. The former is of utmost importance, especially since I'll be rubbing elbows with the fashion cognoscenti.

I will start you off with this Carlos Falchi Python Square-Buckle Belt, $485. Belts are still going to be in for Spring and this will show that I'm on top of my fashion game.

Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with Fashion Week soiree.

At Badgley Mischka, the 20's was the muse decade. Populating the runway were art deco dresses, dropped waists, and so much black and white Coco Chanel would have been proud.

While they may have been channeling Chanel, the collection remained recognizable as Badgley Mischka. As new cover girl Teri Hatcher sat front row, long blue striped Grecian gowns, ombre cocktail dresses, and plenty of embellished prints strode past.

Between the two influences, 20s on the one hand and the Badgley Mischka aesthetic on the other, the collection lacked a bit of coherence. And I have to say, I'm partial to the Jazz Age-inspired portion rather than the typical Badgley Mischka fare. But overall, between the two, the Badgley Mischka fan gets a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
