Fab Finding Follow Up: The Roof Is On Fire!

I raged at a rooftop soiree last weekend and wanted to look my absolute best.

I raged at a rooftop soiree last weekend and wanted to look my absolute best. It was at a snazzy penthouse so I thought somewhere along the lines of sleek and sexy resortwear.

I started you off with this dazzling Philippe Audibert Marilyn Bracelet ($550) because it was party perfect.

Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by kendallina, is orange fresh. I love how the shoes and accessories subtly tie in the color of the dress. Great eye for color!

Want to check out the Project Runway of shoes? Then visit MySpace.com/FNShoeStar. Footwear News selected seven designers to partake in a competition to join the Nine West design team, and you can watch them every step of the way. Past judges have included Giuseppe Zanotti, Stuart Weitzman, Mark Badgley, and James Mischka. I'm warning you, like PR, it's addicting!

Resort Trippin', Part III

This group of Resort looks can best be described in three "L" words: loose, layering, and legs.
Resort Trippin', Part III

This group of Resort looks can best be described in three "L" words: loose, layering, and legs. Things are shaping up pretty nicely for my Winter vacation. I can choose to be whimsy, like at Lanvin (pictured) or Cynthia Rowley; I can be downright bold, seen at Naeem Kahn and Malandrino; or, I can play it cool wearing Jason Wu, Max Azria, and Vera Wang. Whatever I choose, I will be comfortable, play with silhouettes, and bare some skin. Yep, sounds like a Fab getaway to me.

Life's a Beach: Work on Your Wedge

Just like you need to work on your tan, you need to work on your wedge.

Just like you need to work on your tan, you need to work on your wedge. Wedge sandals are all over the place, so it's easy to get the impression that finding a stylish pair is a cinch. 'Tis not always the case. Lucky for Hayden Panettiere, she already scored a cool lucite pair to trek.

Instead of walking the sands and asphalts in flip flops — yawn — opt for cool wedges that will not only give you height but also comfort. As far as I'm concerned, everyone can use some extra comfort when in a slinky bikini.

Fab Flash: Victoria's Secret Goes Back to School

School just got sexier.

School just got sexier. Victoria's Secret's Pink line will take over sweatpants, hoodies, panties, T-shirts, and totes emblazoned with college logos and be available Friday at victoriassecret.com. A bit early for back-to-school shopping, but savvy nonetheless. Then, on July 1, the VS Pink Collegiate Collection, will be at 375 Victoria's Secret stores — near college and university campuses — as well as in the VS catalogs and campus bookstores. Who will be the cheerleader for this endeavor? Fresh faced Behati Prinsloo.

I was never into wearing school-pride gear. I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York where the competition to look unique and cool was in effect every day; hoodies and sweatpants weren't acceptable. But that's fashion school for you. Would wear a feminized school hoodie?

Celebrity Style: Gisele Bundchen

Wearing form-fitting jeans in the heat can cause sticky, icky situations but Gisele Bundchen took care of the problem by opting for Paige Premium Denim's Roxbury crop jeans.

Wearing form-fitting jeans in the heat can cause sticky, icky situations but Gisele Bundchen took care of the problem by opting for Paige Premium Denim's Roxbury crop jeans. This is the ideal way to keep cool and show off your shoes. The model continued her streak of effortlessness by throwing on a casual but cute ivory crochet top, an airy pink scarf, and comfy white flats.

Trend Alert: Highlight Your Khakis

Don't you love how neon highlighters instantly liven up a boring textbook?

Don't you love how neon highlighters instantly liven up a boring textbook? Oh, I guess they help you study, too. The same idea goes for fashion. Highlight your khakis with brightly colored separates and you'll be rewarded with admiring glances. Try this look with a khaki skirt or pants. I prefer to keep the bottoms neutral with a spicy shirt but feel free to mix it up like Jenni Kayne did (left), in her 2009 Resort collection.
