This Week's Fab Favorite: Blake Lively

Try to stop staring at Blake's legs and focus on her teal Vena Cava Resort zigzag print jumper, her black Miu Miu bowler, and Gemma Redux statement necklace.

Try to stop staring at Blake's legs and focus on her teal Vena Cava Resort zigzag print jumper, her black Miu Miu bowler, and Gemma Redux statement necklace. Blake has been the best dressed of all her co-stars this week during her promotions for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2; she was also Celebrity Styled in a chic jean outfit. But I have to say all four of the young ladies have been looking smashing. And remember, fellow sister Alexis Bledel got last week's vote.But Blake is just so foxy. I'm adding this adorable sophisticated romper to my wish list. Her necklace brings the ethnic feel home. Black patent pumps polish off any look and also help boost one's stems. Her oversized Miu Miu is an It bag in the making. But the one accessory that always melts my heart with this girl is her beaming smile. Happy girl, happy outfit.

You may have had mixed feelings about Jennifer Aniston's black and khaki outfit last week, but I was secretly focusing on her bag.

You may have had mixed feelings about Jennifer Aniston's black and khaki outfit last week, but I was secretly focusing on her bag. The Givenchy East West Military Hobo ($1,365) is the perfect mix of tough and luxe. The square shape isn't too big, designers seem to be scaling back on handbags sizes, and the gold Givenchy-logoed grommets are key. It's a new classic, how would you feel about this one for a Fab giveaway?

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

Nicole has mastered the art of I-just-threw-this-together-and-I-look-fabulous.

Nicole has mastered the art of I-just-threw-this-together-and-I-look-fabulous. While attending Samantha Ronson's birthday party, her white poet blouse was romantic and her high waisted black skirt was super flattering. Her exotic strappy shoes spice things up, but her barely recognizable, but oh so there, black and white striped Balenciaga bag is the pinnacle accessory. Way to do black and white in a new light.
