Gossip Style: Serena van der Woodsen

Serena van der Woodsen always finds interesting (and cute) ways to add a little spice to her school uniform.

Serena van der Woodsen always finds interesting (and cute) ways to add a little spice to her school uniform. In this case she chose a shimmery sequined cardigan from Marc by Marc Jacobs to complement her French Toast pleated skirt. The DKNY tights and the stunning Mulberry bag don't hurt either.

Glitterati: Love Rocks NY

Remember back in the day when you wore pendants inscribed with your initials or best friend's name?

Remember back in the day when you wore pendants inscribed with your initials or best friend's name? Take that image in your head, fast forward to the present, and look at what designer, Limor Ratzabi Senker, has come up with.

Her jewelry line, dubbed Love Rocks NY, is all about taking what's near and dear to your heart to the next level of decadence. At first glance, her jewels might look simple, but dig deeper. Her fine collection is made out of 14k gold, platinum, and ethically sourced diamonds. Did you notice the sheen on all of her goods? That's from the special diamond dust finish. All handmade to precision. Alas, quality work comes at a high price. Her adornments range from $150 to $3,000, but isn't it all worth it?

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen

While last night's episode of Gossip Girl was filled with Snowflake Ball fashions, I chose to feature a more attainable ensemble.

While last night's episode of Gossip Girl was filled with Snowflake Ball fashions, I chose to feature a more attainable ensemble. Serena van der Woodsen opted to make her boy toy swoon with an Autumn-friendly ensemble. Staying warm and stylish, the Queen Bee wore J Brand skinny jeans, a Diane Von Furstenberg printed top, and Cesare Paciotti boots. A sumptuous leather Valentino jacket and White and Warren cashmere scarf completes her cozy chic outfit. Oh, I can't forget her gray Celine bag — I die.

In the ninth episode of the season, Andrea's fur vest is at home in the wilderness, and the red tunic sweater looks great underneath it.

Best of 2008: Designer of the Year

If you weren't a Fab devotee last year, get ready for our fun-filled Best of 2008 polls.

If you weren't a Fab devotee last year, get ready for our fun-filled Best of 2008 polls. We're going to present our favorites from the year, and it's up to you to choose the readers' favorite. We're kicking it off with a toughie. Talk about a hard decision. We racked our brains for the five most impressive designers of '08. These five come down to our personal preferences, your enthusiasm for them, and their accomplishments throughout the year.

(L-R: Marchesa, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander Wang)

Marchesa wowed us with every single gown worn on the red carpet this year — we have much love for co-designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. Ricardo Tisci churned out beautifully goth, wonderfully tailored collections for Givenchy RTW and Givenchy Couture. Belgian-born Dries inspired and promoted color and prints in his eclectic ready-to-wear collections. The house of Yves Saint Laurent, led by Stefano Pilati, is in full force redefining menswear and sexiness — the late Yves would be proud. Lastly, Alexander Wang emerged as the new industry darling. He won CFDA's Fashion Fund and made looking cool cool again. It's down to five. Who gets your vote?

Vote happy? Vote on our other Best of 2008 polls!

When there's news about Kate Moss, you know I'm on it.

When there's news about Kate Moss, you know I'm on it. Word has it Kate Moss has teamed up with London-based Liberty's print designers for her upcoming Topshop collection. That means we can expect a flurry of Kate's dresses to be made in Liberty's flirty floral prints, seen below. Come Spring, look for the special logo sporting both Kate and Liberty's emblem. The collection will be available at Topshop.com. This has cute written all over it.
