Fab Finding Follow-Up: 10-Year-High-School Reunion

A Fab reader is having her 10-year-high-school reunion in August and she must dress to impress.

A Fab reader is having her 10-year-high-school reunion in August and she must dress to impress. After all, she's going to run into old classmates, some of whom I can imagine she wants to make envious! Since the event will take place in Austin, TX, I asked you to find an outfit appropriate for hot weather.

I started you off with these Alexis Bittar Dew Drop Earring ($75) because they really pop. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by TeejayR, will make our girl look starlicious! You know I can't resist those YSL stars.

Fab Site: CanyonBeachwear.com

Summer is right around the corner and you know what that means — swimsuits!

Summer is right around the corner and you know what that means — swimsuits! Canyonbeachwear.com is one of the few websites I've found that enables you to easily search and customize your needs to help you find the perfect suit. This handy site will allow you to search swimwear by price, style, color, and designer. There's also a Fab feature where you can search by body type — full figure, small bust, full bottom, small hips, etc. What better than to have your very own personal swimsuit stylist right in your computer?

Resort Trippin', Part II

Are you feeling the heat?
Resort Trippin', Part II

Are you feeling the heat? I hope where you are it's a beautiful, sunny day. If not, these Resort looks will cheer you up, like they did me. This group is patriotic, with the warm weather-color combo of red, white, and blue, as well as neutral with greys, ivory, and beiges exhibiting unique styling. It wouldn't be a Fab slideshow without some frilly dress, compliments of Celine and Versace, and some disheveled chic, thank you Charles Nolan. And you heard it here first: Biker shorts are back! Or at least at Prada they are . . . and I'm feeling it.

Celebrity Style: Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Jamie-Lynn went to get her hair done at the Frederick Fekkai salon all by her lonesome self . . . well, that is if you don't count the stalkerish paparazzi following her! If a breath of fresh air had a look, this would be it. Her crisp-white dress is given a hint of ethnic via her Diane von Furstenberg Dolce sandals and her snakeskin Calvin Klein hobo. Ahh, can you feel the freshness?

Fab Flash: Coco Rocha Speaks Up At The CFDA Model Health Discussion

"She wakes up in the morning, goes to the bathroom to take a shower and runs by the full-length mirror because she can't bare to look at herself naked.

"She wakes up in the morning, goes to the bathroom to take a shower and runs by the full-length mirror because she can't bare to look at herself naked. She only weighs 104 pounds, but all she can think is, I need to be thinner. She hurries to her first show, where she promises herself she'll eat a few grapes. But when she gets there, there's nothing but pastries. First looks are called, she puts on her dress and it takes three people to zip her up. The dresser makes a joke, 'We almost had to call the agency and tell them you didn't fit.' All the girl can think is, I better not eat until tomorrow." Those were the words of model Coco Rocha as she described a day in a model's life at the CFDA discussion on "The Beauty of Health: How the Fashion Industry Can Make a Difference."

Beau Soleil Pouch: Love It or Hate It?

I'm all about recycling and saving the planet but do you think the trend has churned it's way into becoming a profit-making machine?

I'm all about recycling and saving the planet but do you think the trend has churned it's way into becoming a profit-making machine? Take for instance, this Beau Soleil Canvas Pouch ($18). The description doesn't mention anything about it being green and though it's not expensive, do you think it's a sham?
