Fab Finding Follow Up: Camp Fab-a-Fab-a-Hey

What did camp mean to you?

What did camp mean to you? I miss camp. Escaping the Summer lazys (and the 'rents) for color war, talent shows, and three-day boyfriends was the best. I went to two camps; one horseback-riding, more traditional camp and a scuba-diving camp. It was weeks of youthful fun. However, I never made it to camp counselor.

I asked you to create a look for the most fashionable counselor on the ranch and provided this American Living Jacket ($40, originally $120) to start with; it's so old school.

Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is too cool for camp. Dig the turquoise cuff and phat Ksubi shades.

Fab Flash: Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Costumes

Arianne Phillips, the brain behind the seams of Madonna's costumes is at it again.

Arianne Phillips, the brain behind the seams of Madonna's costumes is at it again. With the singer's upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour, launching Aug. 23, the costume designer is hard at work putting together a fashion masterpiece. Similar to her previous concerts, Madonna's costumes will range across four different influences: gangsta pimp, art deco, gypsy, and futuristic.

Don't expect age to affect her racy fashion statement. “She always wants to push the envelope. There are no vanity considerations based on her age; she looks good in everything,” said Phillips.

Topping the list of collaborating designers are Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, who designed the singer's signature dominatrix costumes; Tom Ford, who provided custom suits for the band; custom-made shoes by Miu Miu and Stella McCartney; sunglasses from Moschino, and other outfits and accessories from Roberto Cavalli, Jeremy Scott, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively

Blake is forming quite a fan club and we can all see why . . . just look at her! She is the quintessential American girl. Blonde, beautiful, bubbly, and on her way to visit ABC's Good Morning America with the rest of the adorable cast of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. There's always room in my week for a great jeans look. Blake made this her own by throwing on layered aquamarine beaded necklaces and natural cork wedges. As always, her hair looks amazing and her smile is dazzling. I don't know if I would have opted for a black bowling bag, but Blake makes it work.
