Fab Finding Follow Up: The Inevitable Job Review

It's a fact of life; as long as you hold a job for more than a year, you're going to get a review (or you should at least!).

It's a fact of life; as long as you hold a job for more than a year, you're going to get a review (or you should at least!). It can be a rewarding process, if you've performed up to your boss's expectations. I asked you to put together an outfit that combines professionalism and class.

I started you off with this Dogeared Three Wishes Necklace ($52) because it will bring you all the luck you need. Your wish is its command. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look # 1, created by maria212134, is a perfect example of melding professionalism and sophistication. The yellow jacket is divine.

amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman totally wowed me in this origami-pleat asymmetrical white Givenchy frock at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival.

Natalie Portman totally wowed me in this origami-pleat asymmetrical white Givenchy frock at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. The layers upon layers of white waves are gorgeous, and I love how she paired the dress with simple accessories and black sandals — just let the dress do all the talking. Two thumbs up for me, how about you?

A Sex and the City Tribute: Manolo Blahnik

Will Carrie end up being the old woman who lived in her shoes?

Will Carrie end up being the old woman who lived in her shoes? It's just a matter of time before the movie reveals the truth! Such was Carrie's fear at one point in the series, when she found herself down and out in NYC. She was getting evicted and upon seeking financial salvation she realized how much money she had actually spent on her Manolos over the years — lots.

That wasn't the only Manolo reference on the show. You may recall the other status accessory Carrie favored, the Fendi baguette, was stolen along with a pair of Manolos she had scored at a sample sale. As well, the plaid pair she bought to up her height to compete with her nemesis Natasha. Oh! And when she had to take her shoes off for her friend's party and they got stolen, so she "registered" at the Manolo store to get her pair back. Shall I go on? The giddy scene in the Vogue fashion closet when she raced for a pair of "Oh my god, Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes, an urban shoe myth." Who can resist the beautifully crafted, lightweight, slender shoe? Not Carrie.

Who Wore It Better? Bohemian Balmain Dress

It's almost as though Balmain's bohemian dress was made for Kate Hudson at the SAG awards, so it's hard to imagine anyone else wearing it.

It's almost as though Balmain's bohemian dress was made for Kate Hudson at the SAG awards, so it's hard to imagine anyone else wearing it. But alas, Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon showed up to the amfAR event at Cannes Film Festival in the same dress. Right off the bat, it's obvious Tamara got spray tanned, so the color palette is very different. She also has more chunky jewelry than Kate. To me, Kate is more believable in boho, but who do you say wore it better?

What’s the One Thing in Your Closet You’ll Never Throw Away?
Vanessa Hudgens has been rocking her silver-tinted 912 “Silverfox” J Brand jeans since last year to everything from movie premieres to days out in LA and NYC, but we can’t blame her for the heavy rotation because we too would never part with some things in our closet.

amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Diane Kruger

I oft talk about my love of the '20s flapper era and Diane is the epitome of that time at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival.

I oft talk about my love of the '20s flapper era and Diane is the epitome of that time at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. From her sleek hair down to her shoes, she's perfection in my eyes. The whisper sequins and train are such lovely details. Do you love or hate?

Celebrity Style: Izabel Goulart

Brazilian model Izabel Goulart is the current face of Armani Exchange's Lifestyle Spring campaign, so it's only fitting that she greet shoppers at New York's SoHo store.

Brazilian model Izabel Goulart is the current face of Armani Exchange's Lifestyle Spring campaign, so it's only fitting that she greet shoppers at New York's SoHo store. Of course, she had to represent the brand, so she wore an Armani Exchange purple silk bubble dress with lace Louboutins. She's flawless with her cascading curls and jewel-toned frock. I'm sure we'll be seeing Izabel's pretty face in more ad campaigns and Victoria's Secret catalogs soon.

Remember how mother-to-be model Eva Herzigova looked last year at Cannes? OK, she looked pretty good then, but wowsers — how stunning does she look in this black lace Christian Dior gown? I'm pretty speechless, and blinded, by that diamond necklace. And you?
