Easter Sunday was a day to look your Spring best.

Easter Sunday was a day to look your Spring best. A day to look festive without going overboard on pastels. I started 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! Let's see what you all came up with.

Look # 1, created by jasmint is festive without going overboard. I love the polka dot shirt because it reminds me of an Easter egg!

March Shopping Madness: Stack 'em High

The way to wear bangles this season is to stack 'em high — and I mean high.

The way to wear bangles this season is to stack 'em high — and I mean high. Bangles come in all sizes and colors so you can choose and mix and match to your heart's delight. Dig Marni (left) using oversized futuristic designs to embody this trend; the larger-than-life size demands attention. The key to pulling off this look is to stack them on one wrist only or you'll end up looking like an over-accessorizer. Also, group themes and complementary colors together. Have fun . . .

Fab Flash: LeBron James Vogue Cover Causes Controversy

While there was initial excitement that basketball star LeBron James is the first black man ever on a Vogue cover, the April cover image has stirred up more than a little controversy.

While there was initial excitement that basketball star LeBron James is the first black man ever on a Vogue cover, the April cover image has stirred up more than a little controversy.

Detractors are focusing on the prevalence of racial stereotypes: James in King Kong-like pose, grasping cover partner Gisele Bundchen in an overpowering way. James himself, however, is pleased with the cover's outcome: "Everything my name is on is going to be criticized in a good way or bad way. Who cares what anyone says?"

That's a very level-headed way of seeing it. What do you think?

Monday night just got Fab again. And don't you wish every episode of The Hills was extended? However, I can do without the premiere party hooplah. So the girls went to Paris — luckies! Was it everything they'd hoped and dreamed? Looks like it. Lauren flaunted her crafty fashion skills and caught the eye of a cute Frenchie — Brody who? Whitney reaccessed her career direction and showed us her super-cute Parisian style. Audrina was holding down the fort, supplying LC the dish. As for Heider and Spenci, can we just fast forward through their scenes please? Another season, a guilty pleasure resurrected. Here we go!
