Isn't it grand when someone comes out of the woodwork looking absolutely fabulous? Erin O'Connor is one of the most long and lean models out there, especially with her adorable short-boy cut showcasing her swan-like neck. She looks like a dream in this tangerine Ashley Isham dress she wore to the Royal Academy of Arts: Summer Exhibition Preview Party. The folded bodice and ruffled skirt make for a dress menagerie and the black-patent belt breaks up the beautiful chaos just so. Her gold Swarovski bag was the only bit of glitz. As someone who has been addicted to jewelry lately, I love her minimalist choice — duly noted. When you have such a stunning dress, in such a bold color, not much else is needed.

I recently experienced my first destination wedding. And I don’t think any of my other friends' weddings will compare (sorry!). I was invited by the sister of the groom and it was in fun-but-hard-to-pronounce Zihuajanetejo, Mexico. The bride and groom chose this particular destination because they felt it's Mexico's best kept secret; they love the tropical surroundings and the quaint feel of the town. The closest friends, myself included, all stayed at this amazing house that the ceremony and party took place at as well. Cabin fever? No way, no how. The house can best be described as a luxurious tree house; everything was made out of wood, it spanned a whole cliff, hammocks and open air abound and an infinity pool overlooked the bay. It was, to say the least, fabulous.

• Who: Pamela & Colin
• Where: The Tree House, Zihuajanetejo, Mexico
• When: May 2, 2008
• What the bride wore: Sue Wong gown, Rene Caovilla shoes (the splurge) and her salsa after party dress was BCBG
• What the bridesmaids wore: One wore a Nicole Miller dress and they both changed into Victoria's Secret dresses for the salsa after party. They swapped wearing orange and green for the reception then the party (cute idea, huh?)
• What Fab wore: Check me and my friend out
• Where to next for Pamela & Colin: Greece

The intimate ceremony of about 30 people was cozy and comfortable. Since the bride and groom come from mixed ethnic backgrounds they celebrated the union of all the cultures. It was such a site to witness overlooking the beautiful Mexican bay.

If you've seen the Sex and the City movie, you know that Cynthia Nixon's character, Miranda Hobbes, was leaps and bounds more stylish in the flick than she was in the show. Perhaps age made her fashion-wise or maybe Carrie's flair for style rubbed off on her. Either way, she left behind the pinstripe suits and busted out the chunky earrings, colorful frocks, and stilettos.

Fans will be thrilled to know that back by popular demand is the inexpensive Maggy London dress Miranda wore in one of the first scenes of the movie; she wore it with an Alexander McQueen bag, Gucci pumps and a vintage belt. Many of you expressed interest in the silky, mod dress and now it's yours.

While Stella McCartney brightened up her resort, Donna Karan lightened things up. The designer called her 2009 resort line, "Bonjour New York." Well, bonjour Donna! This time around, she served up lots of girlie but with understated sexiness. Step into Karan's boudoir and you'll find a gentle color palette; peony, rose, petal, nude, and champagne. With such soft colors, one would imagine a collection far too feminine, but such is not the case.

The irregular silhouettes and heavy fabrics balance out the whispering hues. Black cropped jackets and hefty ruching help ease the femininity, while bows, skirt suits, and feathers feed into it. It may sound complicated, but one look at the ethereal quality of the clothes and it all becomes clear: Donna Karan is injecting fun and flirtiness into resort-wear. And why not? Isn't resort the time to let your hair down?

Behold Molly Sims' swirly silk Alberta Ferretti goodness at the an LA photography exhibition hosted by the star. Yes, the pattern and colors of the dress make it unique, but I'm more drawn to her keen accessorizing abilities. Instead of leaving her neck bare, like most people would, Molly chose to layer different gold necklaces on top of one another for a chunky effect. This took the look from normal to snazzy. I also love her cork clutch and the deep-red peep toes because they're unexpected touches.
