YumSugar has already found a cute apron for my staying in cooking date so it's up to you to complete my effortlessly beautiful look for the evening. I want to look nice, but not overly dressed up since we'll be hanging out indoors.

I'll start you off with this Malababa Braided Leather Headband ($155) because the color is Fab and it will keep my hair out of my face while I show off my cooking skills!

Jewelry

Glitterati: Agrigento Designs

Every once in awhile, I like to sport some super bold and funky jewelry.

Every once in awhile, I like to sport some super bold and funky jewelry. If you feel the same, check out Agrigento Designs. Inspired by the natural surroundings in her hometown of Agrigento, Sicily, designer Alissa Frazer's selection of jewels is nothing short of wearable art.

The handmade collection is made with the finest quality gold, platinum, and silver ranging from $300 to $3000. I know it's a pretty penny to spend but each piece is made to absolute perfection.

The Look For Less: Tibi Coral Reef Dress

I told you you should use this Tibi Coral Reef Dress ($389) if you want to channel the mix mastering of Dries Van Noten.

I told you you should use this Tibi Coral Reef Dress ($389) if you want to channel the mix mastering of Dries Van Noten. It's a smart choice for gals who want to get in on the floral trend without looking like an overgrown child. That's because the black background adds a dark element. But what if you don't have that much to spare on achieving the look? There's an easy fix!

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Baggy and Saggy Pants

The last time I asked you about these style pants, you all hated it.

The last time I asked you about these style pants, you all hated it. Baggy and saggy pants are definitely not for everyone but I dare you try it. So, how low would you go?

If you're swaying on the avant garde tip, I'd suggest you hone in your eccentric glamour with a pair of crotch dropping jodhpurs. If you're still on the fence — like me— try a more subdued version with a pair of crisp cropped baggy trousers like Phillip Lim's to the left. My only piece of advice: choose something that flatters your derrière. Have fun and be brave!

Behind The Seams: The Chanel Boutique Opening on Robertson

Here I am, fresh from the Chanel opening on Roberston Boulevard in LA.

Here I am, fresh from the Chanel opening on Roberston Boulevard in LA. And boy do I have lots to dish. The store was very cool: Peter Marino designed, white block motif, outdoor courtyard, two levels, life size Chanel shoes and bags reminiscent of the Fall collection, mannequins wearing pieces from Chanel Paris-Londres Métiers d’Art Collection, bubbly flowing and PYTs galore. Spotted: Rachel Bilson, Angie Harmon, Leighton Meester, Michelle Trachtenberg, Kirsty Hume, Amber Valletta, Malin Ackerman, January Jones (from Mad Men) and Emma Roberts. Amidst all the fabulous chaos we were able to grab the witty January Jones and the adorable Emma Roberts for a few Fab words.

But first, here were the fashion highlights: Malin's sparkly Chanel jumpsuit, Bilson's hot pink sequin purse, January Jones' rebellious chain dress, Angie's coral accents and Amber Valletta's glowing skin. Alas, it wasn't all super fabulous. Fab goddess Linda Evangelista and Fabcon Kelly Wearstler were supposed to be in attendance and they weren't there — bum city. Oh well. Can I say January Jones was such a pleasure to talk to? We were seriously vibing and she was so smart and down to earth. Here she is!

Can we talk about your dress?

Of course. I went in today — I just flew in from London yesterday — so I ran in today and they know my taste and they had a couple of things picked out. I like things more on the edgy side. So, I got my chains.

And are you jet lagged?

I’m drinking my way out of it.

So Mad Men, can we talk about the wardrobe? How do you like the wardrobe, has it affected your personal style at all? How does it feel dressing in costumes of yesteryear?

I’ve always been a huge fan of vintage clothing. So the only downside is when I go shopping I can’t get anything from that’s late 50s/early 60s because then I wander around looking like Betty. I absolutely adore being in period outfits: the girdle, the stockings and the garter belts, the pointy bras. They have to add tips in there because modern women don’t have that shape. It’s interesting, it’s hard to get in and out of, but it’s fun.

Kenneth Jay Lane is known for his funky, costumey designs and this Block Link Necklace ($88 ) is no exception. The large wooden chain will definitely garner the attention of others; whether or not it'll be positive attention is still up for debate. Is this bold necklace a hit or total miss?
