This ain't your grandma's patchwork. Modern patchwork on tops, dresses, bags and shoes, is spreading hippie love wherever it goes. Who knew Hilary Duff was such a flower child? She is singing the trend softly in her varicolored scarf. Start me up, patch me up!

Anything for a great shot, right Myo? Her precarious posing paid off because she looks beautiful in her tiered summer frock and metallic gold sandals. Wish I was there!

Here's what she has on:

• Dress: Unknown
• Shoes: Banana Republic
• Earrings: Unknown

Congrats to Myo!

I wasn't lying when I said a light bulb went off in my head when I watched the video of Stella McCartney's garden party. Hence, I'm hosting a fun garden party for some close friends next weekend to recreate the resort fun. But this isn't any old garden party; I'm asking guests to dress up, a la Stella's latest collection. Think girly, sophisticated and ethereal.

I'll start you off with this Mesh Flower Headwrap ($16) because it's just the thing to get your creative juices flowing.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Fab garden party.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab-Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab-Finding missions.

I'm a self-proclaimed flats queen, so I love that you all were feeling me this week. What's more exciting is that you didn't just find any old boring kinds. Your choices were quirky, each having something unique making them stand out. I'm so proud of your keen eye.

The Fab Finder of the week is saddyblue, because she found the quirkiest of the bunch, these Marc Jacobs Strappy Flat Boots. Talk about morphing madness!

Congrats to saddyblue, maria212134, jasmint, WhiplashGirlchild, QueenMargot, longhornlass04, and azulskies!

Just as I said that it's normal for fashion designers to draw inspiration from one another, one more case popped up to further prove my point. This time, Costume National looked to Rodarte's Fall '08 collection to create one of the pieces in its 2009 Resort line. The fashion world, moi-self included, were awestruck by Rodarte's innovative, beautifully crafted Fall gowns (left). I remember how airy yet strong they looked as they floated past me on the runway. Costume National's version is strikingly similar not only because of its lightness, but because of the abstract multicolor design and the one shoulder. I'm happy to see Rodarte's creativity being multiplied; it's too genius to only be enjoyed by the fashion elite.
