Honeymoon

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Love Me Down Under

It's honeymoon week in Sugarland so I told you to make believe you're going down under to Australia with your new hubby.

It's honeymoon week in Sugarland so I told you to make believe you're going down under to Australia with your new hubby. You'll be doing a little bit of everything — hiking, clubbing, shopping, sightseeing — so you'll need a well-rounded collection of clothes. But don't forget it's Winter there now so try to stay away from hot-weather items.

I started you off with this Abas Metallic Passport Cover ($35) because you can't let your passport go on vacation looking drab. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by annebreal, is romantic and sweet. It's a honeymoon, after all!

Fab Read: Sex, Love, and Fashion, A Memoir of a Male Model

Kissing and telling is usually taboo.

Kissing and telling is usually taboo. Contrary to that belief, Bruce Hulse decided to dish all about his former life as a Calvin Klein model in his book Sex, Love, and Fashion: A Memoir of a Male Model ($16). The memoir rumors to expose explicit, juicy details on Hulse's exciting life including romantic escapades with models such as Andie MacDowell and Paulina Porizkova to name a few.

If you're itching for a preview, here's a leaked excerpt from his rendezvous with Porizkova: "I arrived at Paulina's hotel room only to find her wearing next to nothing. I was doomed. Within seconds we were all over each other. We completely tore up the room." Did that leave you wanting more? The book is set to release August 5 and is available for preorder.

Life's a Beach: Revel in Pink

Tis' the season to revel in pink.

Tis' the season to revel in pink. If you're fearful of the berry mix, opt to accessorize with a pink bag. It's the perfect transition to coming out of your color shell and will give your outfit a sweet pizazz of color. I love how Chanel's fuchsia geometric clutch (left, on Lisa Cant) highlights the adorable dress. Perfection in pink.

On Our Radar: Christian Francis Roth Makes a Comeback

With age comes wisdom for Christian Francis Roth.

With age comes wisdom for Christian Francis Roth. The designer has announced that he will be showing a 2009 collection after an eight-year absence from the runway.

A short stint in the late '80s and early '90s garnered Roth a Perry Ellis Award for new design talent, but problems with maintaining growth resulted in closing his namesake business in 1995. Roth recollects, "I stopped and said, 'I have to learn how to make money.'"

Now packed with business savvy and experience, look forward to seeing Roth's 2009 collection, dubbed Francis, filled with childlike motifs, color, and quirky prints with pants retailing around $225 and dresses starting at $375. "I wanted to be priced as sharply as possible but still include all the details. This collection maintains all the fun detailing and conversational concepts of the collections I used to do" said Roth.

Who Wore It Better? Chloe Colorblock Dress

Chloe's Spring collection was infused with all sorts of colorful colorblock dresses.

Chloe's Spring collection was infused with all sorts of colorful colorblock dresses. Leighton Meester first wore the tunic dress back in May with Chloe's cool slip-through clutch. Model and fiance of radio personality Howard Stern Ostrosky wore a slightly different Chloe colorblock dress to the screening of The Wackness in NYC. Though they have different silhouettes, both dresses resemble one another in color. Think of them as fraternal twins. Which Chloe-wearing gal do you prefer, Leighton or Beth?

Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz

Look what we have here — a fresh bouquet of flowers in the form of Cameron Diaz!

Look what we have here — a fresh bouquet of flowers in the form of Cameron Diaz! The smiley actress looked bright and beautiful while dining at Dan Tana's in LA. Cam shows us with her groovy-chic '70s-inspired Tucker blouse that the floral trend is not strictly limited to small flowers. She finished off her ensemble with a pair of striped Proenza Schouler sandals and a lipstick red patent bag. If she were the dessert du jour, I would order her up!
