The winner and two runners-up will be announced Nov. 14 at the CFDA gala in NYC.
Harvey Weinstein is next to leave Halston, following on the heels of Sarah Jessica Parker who announced her departure Wednesday. Weinstein had an equity stake in the brand for many years, serving as a figurehead while it hasn't been able to regain its fashion status since its jumpsuit-fueled, disco '70s heyday. Adding fuel to the fire is speculation on Halston's creative designer, Marios Schwab, and where he stands in the middle of all the recent changes. According to WWD, Schwab's contract might not be renewed unless he relocates from London to New York, where Halston is based. More news on what's to happen with Halston is slated to be released in the next 10 days.
Resort 2012 has proven that the surf trend is going strong. Unless you're a red-carpet cutie, we find it nearly impossible to incorporate masterpieces from the likes of Alexander Wang, McQ, and Michael Kors into our daily outfit rotation. However, when there's a will, there's a way. We styled up five different ways — from work-appropriate ensembles to sporty chic 'fits — to wear the surf trend without going over the top. Ready to get inspired?
Fab reader sergeantkero just transported us to a backyard oasis — but really, it's the outfit we can't get over. She hits the perfect business-casual look with a summery-style tilt that feels fresh and entirely chic. She gives her classic blazer a boost with a cool, graphic-print skirt, then drives it home with a pop of pretty brights on her Kelly green pumps.
Congrats to sergeantkero!
Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

You've probably already got one great pair (or two, or three?) of black pumps in your shoe arsenal, but don't be fooled: nude heels are also one of those classic wardrobe staples that every girl simply must own. Not only are they a great way to lighten up your Summer wardrobe and balance out any bold brights, but they go with everything, and will lengthen your legs like you never thought possible. We've seen the chicest of celebs sporting nude heels lately, like Jennifer Aniston, Nicky Hilton, and perhaps the biggest nude heel fan, Kate Middleton — and each one shows that whether it's pointed, peep-toe, or strappy, nude is the perfect neutral attitude for the season.
