Fab Finding Follow-Up: Art Lovah

Besides being a lover of fashion, I'm also an art fanatic.

Besides being a lover of fashion, I'm also an art fanatic. Every couple months I need a trip to the museum for inspiration, and must always look cute while perusing.

I asked your help in finding an artsy look, and started you off with this Luc Kieffer Resin & Chain Necklace ($385) because it's funky and might evoke a comment from a cute fellow art enthusiast.

Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by carrothead, is art-tastic. The Pucci dress is a masterpiece.

FABTV: Fashion-able Double Kisses

Exchanging double kisses is not only standard in fashion circles, it's a sign of sisterhood (or brotherhood, depending).

Exchanging double kisses is not only standard in fashion circles, it's a sign of sisterhood (or brotherhood, depending). It's like a secret handshake among best friends. Nordstrom's Fall Designer Preview reminded me yet again of this, so I thought I'd provide a tutorial. Before your video lesson, it's important to know that French, Italian, Armenian, and other Mediterranean cultures do double kisses even outside of fashion events. And, unless you've been doing it since adolescence, it's hard not to fear bumping heads with your kisser. My advice is not to think too hard about it and let nature guide you. But first watch the video for specifics. xx

Project Runway, Episode 3, "Bright Lights, Big City"

Last night's episode of Project Runway showcased a wide and interesting array of creations from the budding designers.

Like season two, the contestants were asked to design an outfit for a night out on the town inspired by the (wet) cityscape of NYC. While a couple designs blew me away — namely Leanne's Doo.Ri-esque dress — I wasn't impressed with the overall amount of creativity. Take a look at their designs and let me know what you think.

Also be sure to check out BuzzSugar's recap of last night's episode.

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Aniston

It's been a while since we Celebrity Styled Jennifer and she looks great!

It's been a while since we Celebrity Styled Jennifer and she looks great! Her carefree, polished look was exhibited while shopping at Barneys. Sometimes you have to boil it down to basics. What really polishes off her tank and skirt combo is the gold accessories: a gold studded Givenchy handbag, a gold watch, and gold hoops. And how could Jennifer leave home without her namesake Tom Ford shades? Happy shopping, Jen!

Fab Flash: All-Star Designer Trio Creates Supergirl Collection

Supergirl is getting a banging new look.

Supergirl is getting a banging new look. In conjunction with Warner Bros., childhood friend designers Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, Alice Roi, and Laura Poretzky, are teaming up to create a resort collection under the Supergirl brand. Roi, who's known for her edgy signature line; Lonstein Gruss, contemporary designer for Shoshanna; and Poretzky, owner and designer of Abaeté, will be fusing their talents together into one collection.

“When we were creating the line, we talked a lot about how we would wear it. We all worked to push each other into new directions, which helps us a lot when it comes to our own collections. Laura and I never thought we would be putting Alice’s metal studs on a dress, but mixing those things worked well in the end,” said Lonstein Gruss.

The 35-piece collection, showing at the MAGIC show in Las Vegas next month, will include dresses, tops, jeans, and jackets wholesaling between $23 to $193.

The Look For Less: Missoni Variante Ballerina Flat

Oh, Missoni prints. There's something about the zig-zaggin' signature prints that tickles the stylista in me.

Oh, Missoni prints. There's something about the zig-zaggin' signature prints that tickles the stylista in me. I'm swooning over these Missoni Variante Ballerina Flats ($395) because the warm-toned gold, pink, orange, and yellow design is carelessly fun. Since they're flats, I'm able to wear them on a daily basis without having to sacrifice comfort for fashion. However, the price tag isn't so nice, and I have bills to pay!
