Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cruisin' on the Boulevard

Me and my banana seat cruiser had a nice long ride on the Boulevard last weekend.

Me and my banana seat cruiser had a nice long ride on the Boulevard last weekend. Wardrobe malfunctions are one of the imminent dangers of bike riding so I needed your help in finding an equally fashionable and functional outfit.

I started you off with this sporty Versace Small Darling Convertible Tote ($3,330) because the shoulder straps can be buckled at the base for backpack wear. That will definitely keep my hands where they're supposed to be — on the handles!

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134 is cool and functional. The twill fedora lends a Parisian vibe and I love the denim trouser shorts.

Life's a Beach: Bandeau Babe

If you're like me and cringe at the idea of tan lines, I suggest you join the bandeau babe club.

If you're like me and cringe at the idea of tan lines, I suggest you join the bandeau babe club. True, you can't frolic through the waves in one of these — if you must, I suggest getting one with a removable halter strap — but also true, this style suit is retro active. Many celebs have been favoring the cool strapless vibe of a bandeau, see Drew and her beau giggling in the waves. Drew, who is a member of the club, proves the bandeau to be bodacious.

Who Wore It Better? Stella McCartney One-Shoulder Silk Dress

What happens when a designer is faced off in her own design?

What happens when a designer is faced off in her own design? You'll have to be the judge of that as we find out, which leading lady wore Stella's creation better. Liv Tyler opted to show off her stems in the designer's shorter version at the premiere of The Incredible Hulk. Pairing it with sky-high platform sandals and dangly gold earrings was a good call. On the other hand, Stella stayed elegant in the same dress, but longer, with matching cobalt-blue pumps last month at the Costume Institute Gala. Both of the women evoke at-ease sexiness but which look do you prefer?
