It's getting to be that time of year when I've got traveling on my mind. The weather's nice, the days are getting longer . . . and I can't wait for my upcoming long weekend in LA!
What better to tote my Fab necessities around in than this Orla Kiely Crayon Crocus Wheelie ($348)? It's screams Spring and the colors make me smile — so much better than any old blah black carry-on.
Last night, on Make Me a Supermodel, fierce Project Runway winner Christian Siriano showed up and gave the remaining models catwalk and styling tips. He didn't come empty handed though. He brought with him a present for Holly: a high-neck, red and purple ruffle dress similar to his ombré frock from Project Runway's New York Fashion Week runway show. The judges didn't think Holly commanded presence in the frock, and I agree. Still the signature Christian dress is simultaneously loud and graceful, just the way I take my haute couture. Are you smitten?

Danielle Scutt's youthful and bold take on clothing has landed her a goldmine: Gwen Stefani, international style icon, is a fan of her designs. In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Scutt stated, "To have such a fashion icon as Gwen enthused about my clothing is a great boost."
Her use of feminine fabrics and cuts accentuated by rough finishes have stirred a frenzy of excitement in the fashion industry. Danielle Scutt shows no signs of slowing down with her fresh take on clothing. Her clientele base is growing at an exponential rate with a recent security of large orders from a number of unnamed stockists. After showing her first Spring 2008 show, Scutt is focused on creating more exciting clothing along with establishing her business.

After I just mentioned being uninspired by the selection of bags right now, this amazing Foley + Corinna City Clutch ($444) popped up in front of me. Isn't it breathtaking? It's the clutch version of my Anna Corinna city tote! What I love about Foley + Corinna bags is they exude a nonchalant vibe, much like Balenciaga's motorcycle tote, but they don't require loads of cha-ching. I'm thinking it's time for me to expand my Foley + Corinna family with a new sibling . . .
When a celebrity dresses poorly, it's painful, but when a fashion insider does, it's inexcusable. Former model and Tim Gunn's sidekick on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style showed up to an event in NYC looking like a chicken in her yellow blouse and yellow cardigan. Last time I checked, it was a Redbook, not Reebok, event, so why the sneakers?
If I were Veronica, I would have kept the piped cardigan and that's about it. I would have selected dark wide-leg jeans, an ivory camisole, and a cool pair of flats (since she clearly wanted to be comfy).
How would YOU wear it?
Love It or Hate It? Vanessa Hudgens Gets Bangs
The latest celeb to hop on the bang bandwagon is Vanessa Hudgens. She was seen out and about yesterday with freshly cut, blunt fringe. Certain face shapes are flattered by this hairstyle (to see what works for you, check out my guide), but I think a wispier bang would balance her strong jawline better.
Czech model Hana Soukupova showed her pretty face at Radar Entertainments fashion division launch party. But what I'm more captivated by is her cool black-and-white outfit, complete with a sheer scarf and black leather boots. The tuxedo tank brings in an androgynous air, while her black mini dress shows off her feminine stems. Model perfection, I say!
This Sunday is Easter and I plan to look my Spring best for the day's festivities. I want to look pretty and put-together for an afternoon BBQ with friends and family. Help me find a festive look without going overboard on the pastels — I don't want to look like the holiday Easter Bunny!
I'll start you off with this fabulous Lanvin Happy Bag ($1,800). The color is Easter appropriate, the structure is clean and posh, and it's happy!
