Diane Kruger

This Week's Fab Favorite: Diane Kruger x 2

You all know I adore Diane Kruger so it was just a matter of time before she became a weekly Fab favorite.

You all know I adore Diane Kruger so it was just a matter of time before she became a weekly Fab favorite. Not only did you all vote her best dressed at the Met's Costume Institute Gala (by a fine, blond hair) but she kept on partying all week delivering one unique look after another.

These two looks perfectly demonstrate her chameleon abilities. First, she looked ladylike and sweet in a watercolor off-the-shoulder frock at a Salvatore Ferragamo party. Then, she looked fierce in a modern black and beige layered Phillip Lim ensemble. She prefers simple, delicate jewelry, however, she is wearing a fun bright-pink nail color (sassy!). Her hair is pulled back as not to distract from the well-tuned clothing. This proclaimed self-stylist is an inspiration to us all.

Glitterati: Little Golden Wings

When Ashley Smith isn't putting in a solid day's work at a San Francisco salon, she's at home toiling away on her newest venture, Little Golden Wings.

When Ashley Smith isn't putting in a solid day's work at a San Francisco salon, she's at home toiling away on her newest venture, Little Golden Wings.

She started designing clothing as a creative outlet outside of her work, but it started to take up too much time and space. Instead of giving up altogether, Ashley rechanneled her efforts into making jewelry. She finds inspiration in antiques and vintage pieces, overgrown gardens, and "the things around us that glow and sparkle." Her goal is to recreate a nostalgic feeling in each piece, and by my judgment, she succeeds.

Little Golden Wings Jewelry runs $48 to $68 and is available at Etsy.com.

Fab Ad: Swatch Spring/Summer '08

I can never resist a Beatles tribute and that's why this Spring/Summer '08 Swatch ad campaign stood out to me when I was reading the digital version of V magazine.

I can never resist a Beatles tribute and that's why this Spring/Summer '08 Swatch ad campaign stood out to me when I was reading the digital version of V magazine. The girlie minidresses and shorts the models are sporting paint quite the fashionable picture. I'll admit that I've never thought of Swatch watches as cool, but these ads are helping to change my view. What is especially smart about these ads is that each watch style is complemented with a story. And in advertising, it's all about building that emotional connection with your customer. If you're an earthy kind of girl, chances are urban safari scene will appeal to you. If glitz and glamour is your thing, the dancers in poufy gowns will be right up your alley, or shall I say, gated community. Do these ads spark your interest?

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

Have you all noticed the striking similarities between Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie lately?

Have you all noticed the striking similarities between Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie lately? First LC channeled Nicole in cut-off shorts and now, like Richie, she wore an Elizabeth and James dress. It may be mere coincidence, but I'm just saying! There's no doubt, however, that Lauren looked pretty at MTV's Upfront Presentation last night. The blue hue matches her skin and brings out her baby blues. Per usual, she kept her accessories to a minimum, but in this case, a dress that striking should be center of attention.
