Fab Finding Follow Up: Drinks With the Ex (Gasp)!

Your phone rings, and on the other line is .

Your phone rings, and on the other line is . . . your ex! He's just invited you out for a drink this week and even though you were caught way off guard, you somehow accepted. There's no turning back now, so make the best of the situation. Show up looking s-s-s-sizzling and make him kick himself for leaving you.

I started you off with this Boucheron Fantasy Ring ($2,180) because not only will it intimidate him, it will come in handy if things go awry. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by bvfashion, is as fierce as the snake ring. The Alexander McQueen leather jacket is sure to make him fear you!

Which America's Next Top Model Was the Fiercest Warrior?

Last night's episode of America's Next Top Model was aptly named "We are Spartans!"

Last night's episode of America's Next Top Model was aptly named "We are Spartans!" The remaining five girls — Fatima, Dominique, Katarzyna, Anya, and Whitney — channeled their inner warriors, first by getting gladiator-fighting lessons, and then by dressing the part. I quickly learned that there's a vast difference between how authentic of a warrior they looked and how they actually performed. Like, Fatima appeared a pretty warrior princess, but fought like a stiff, old man. Dominique looked hard but posed too delicately. Anya nailed both the look and the act. She looked good and used all the gladiator moves she had been taught. Which ANTM do you think was the fiercest warrior?

Celebrity Style: Gisele Bundchen

It's Gisele's day today.

It's Gisele's day today. First she tops Forbes' list of top-earning models of 2008 and now she graces us with her stylish and slim self. I admit that I've been semibored with her mostly grey, monotonous outfits lately, but her latest cas(ual) airport look makes me happy. It's travel friendly but not yawn-worthy. She could have worn ballet flats to make the look more femme, but the fact that she chose Chuck Taylors is refreshing. Next time I take a trip, you better believe I'm busting out my Converse!

The Look For Less: Juicy Couture Cascading Ruffle Dress

LBD's have really branched out lately; take for example, the Juicy Couture Ruffle Dress ($174, originally $348).

LBD's have really branched out lately; take for example, the Juicy Couture Ruffle Dress ($174, originally $348). The exuberant amount of ruffles are plenty fun and I love the flirty lace trim. The price tag is not so bad but you know how Fab loves a great deal.

Fab Flash: Gisele Tops List of High-Earning Models in 2008

Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning models is out, and Gisele takes the top spot again this year.

Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning models is out, and Gisele takes the top spot again this year.

She has accumulated $35 million (!) in the last 12 months from her former contract with Victoria's Secret, her ads for Versace, a lucrative deal with Max Factor, plus those popular sandals of hers; and that's just to name a few of the sources.

Heidi Klum trails behind in second place with $14 million in earnings, which is no surprise between Project Runway and her Victoria's Secret contract. But the real surprise — to me, anyway — is that Tyra isn't on the list.


1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million
2. Heidi Klum - $14 million
3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima - $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million
