As you may already know, our big Tech Crunch Party is this week and all us Sugar girls are wondering what to wear. The party is in sunny LA and we want to look Spring fabulous.

I started you off with these Jimmy Choo Leo Metallic Sandals ($615) because they're insanely fierce and LA party worthy.


Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by KikiM, is artistic and fabulous. The avant-garde shape of the dress is interesting and the short hemline is flirty and fun.

Shopbop

Shoe Designer Spotlight: Camilla Skovgaard

Guess what? Fab has a new BFF and you know her, too: Shopbop!

Guess what? Fab has a new BFF and you know her, too: Shopbop! Together, we voted them our favorite online shop last year and now we're partnering with them and going to bring you special Shopbop posts every week. We hope you like them (smile).

Anywho, have I mentioned how happy I am women are choosing shoes over bags because the choices right now are so incredible? Take for instance the sexy-as-hell footwear of Denmark designer Camilla Skovgaard. As soon as I laid eyes on this Camilla Skovgaard Two Band High Heel Sandal ($492), I knew I wanted to know more about the designer. Sure enough, all her footwear is to drool for.

Given that she formerly designed shoes for the Sheikhs' wives and daughters in Dubai, her talent and determination are no surprise. After seven years in Dubai, Camilla moved to London and completed a BA degree in footwear at Cordwainers shoe college. Her education was certainly worth it because her creations are all over Shopbop and Vogue . . . and soon to be on the feet of budding fashionistas!

Come Party With Me: Sex and the City Marathon — Invite
In order to prepare ourselves for the much-anticipated Sex and the City movie, Fab and I are hosting a SATC marathon in her new apartment. We're inviting our best gal pals and asking them to dress like their favorite character.

Trend Alert

Dress Me Up: Oh, Sheer

See-through clothes make most gals say, oh, sheer.

See-through clothes make most gals say, oh, sheer. But we can't avoid the trend altogether because it was everywhere on the Spring runways, including BCBG (left) and Marc Jacobs.

What we can do is find a sheer style that works for our lifestyles and body types. That's precisely what a good friend of mine did recently when she bought a see-through watercolor slip and wore it as an ultrafemme dress.

The key is to find a slip to pair underneath. Pick a fun color so it purposefully shows and mimics the runways. The next time you hit up a department store, don't overlook the lingerie department. Find a sheer slip that can pass as a dress or top, wear it with a colorful slip, and sheer on!

Fab Flash: Naomi Campbell Banned by British Airways

Last Thursday, Naomi Campbell was removed from a British Airways flight for allegedly spitting on a police officer after a row with the airline staff.

Last Thursday, Naomi Campbell was removed from a British Airways flight for allegedly spitting on a police officer after a row with the airline staff. She is thought to have flown into a rage after one of her bags failed to make it onto the LA-bound airplane, and as a result, police boarded the plane and led her away in handcuffs; she posted bail hours later.

Now, reports are surfacing that Naomi is no longer welcome on British Airways flights. Ever, again. According to her spokesman: "Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably." Unfortunately, this is not the first time Naomi has caused an airport disruption. Dun dun dun.

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

Last night's episode of The Hills left me semi irked at mean girl Lauren, but I'll put that aside because I heart the feminine Diane von Furstenberg polka-dot top she sported at Katsuya Sushi.

Last night's episode of The Hills left me semi irked at mean girl Lauren, but I'll put that aside because I heart the feminine Diane von Furstenberg polka-dot top she sported at Katsuya Sushi. Brody and Frankie went ultra cas(ual) in T-shirts, while LC channeled a naughty Sandra Dee. Though a a legging with sheen can be super sexy, I'm not so sure a classic girl like Lauren can pull it off. What do you say?

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 22 "When Spencer Finds Out..."

Though it was an episode that focused more on the troubled relationships between the cast members than Lauren's and Whitney's fashion careers, we were once again given a double feature to make sure we got our The Hills fix.

Though it was an episode that focused more on the troubled relationships between the cast members than Lauren's and Whitney's fashion careers, we were once again given a double feature to make sure we got our The Hills fix. Lauren celebrated her birthday in style in a sexy little red dress and her friendship with Stephanie plodded forth. I thought all the girls looked great last night . . . were you paying attention to the fashionable, and beautiful, details?

Transformation: Rachel Weisz Once upon a time, there was an actress with skin as white as snow and hair as black as ebony. Snow White? Well, not according to Rachel Weisz. "In real life I'm very unpolished," the star has said. "Dressing for the red carpet is fantasy time, but in my day-to-day life, I'm very grungy."

Fabucci Metallic Triple Cutout Maillot: Love It or Hate It?

Wow — words cannot express the utter love/hate relationship I have with this Fabucci Metallic Triple Cutout Maillot, ($240).

Wow — words cannot express the utter love/hate relationship I have with this Fabucci Metallic Triple Cutout Maillot, ($240). I love the cut-out shape, but I absolutely abhor the color. Seriously, metallic lavender?! This bathing suit would look so much nicer in a solid black. What relationship do you have with this?
