One thing's for sure about FabSugar in 2007: Catherine Malandrino was a fan favorite. From celebs, to you guys, to us guys, I think we can all agree that Malandrino is a fabulous fashion house and the woman is an icon. One fine day, Madame Catherine and I had a chat over eclairs in a chic cafe in Paris. She enlightened me on how to dress for the holidays and I for one am taking her advice to heart. Ok I fib! CM and I didn't chat over eclairs — Fab can dream right? — but she did provide us with some holiday dressing insight. Kiss kiss!
How can you dress for a holiday party without looking like every other festive girl in the room?
Never wear black, be daring and wear a BOLD color. Always wear heels.
What are holiday dressing “do's” and “don’ts?”
Holiday Do’s: be sensual, wear textures from feathers to paillettes, and mix it with light fabrics such as tulle, chiffon and organza. Always prefer a dress. Holiday Don’ts: no sneakers, no black, and no jeans, never go casual!
How can you modernize your favorite old party dress?
You can modernize your favorite old party dress with bold graphic colorful accessories, an oversized necklace or cover your arm with big bangles. Wear colorful high heel sandals.
UGG boots are bulky enough with all that thick shearling, but when you add ribbons and more height, it's just too much. I can't see myself, or anyone else for that matter, pulling off Love From Australia's Vixen Suede Over-the-Knee Boot ($400). In Antarctica they might come in handy, but I'd choose cold over tacky any day. Are you with me?
I'm hesitant to diss Katie Holmes' style because I am of the camp that thinks her fashion sense has grown leaps and bounds post Tom Cruise. That said, simply put, she sometimes dresses too old for her age.
We get it, she has an older man to keep up with, but that doesn't mean she has to dress his age. Here she's wearing something a Glam Ma would wear on Christmas morning. I appreciate the color scheme but I would have worn a shorter satin trench (belted!), a V-neck top, black patent pumps, and perhaps a black belt. Besides, it's way too cold for her long, skinny toes to be creeping out.
Gregory, a former Gap designer who won the prestigious CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award for 2008, helms three labels: ethical T-shirt label EDUN which he runs with Bono's wife Ali Hewson, Loomstate, an all-organic line of t-shirts and jeans, and his own edgier line Rogan.
As if it wasn't obvious throughout the year: I have a serious girl crush on Diane Kruger. It must have been all her stunning red-carpet looks that did me in. You all voted Reese for best red-carpet style of 2007 — yes, that canary, Nina Ricci cocktail dress will go down in history — but I've been monitoring Diane throughout the year. She is the new, official Queen of the Red Carpet. Just beautiful.

The holiday season is all about family time, and for many of us, it's also a time when we visit with family we don't see very often. When you reunite with family for the holidays, you want to show them that you're doing well and still looking good — so no ugly holiday sweaters, Bridget-Jones style.
Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.
Audrina Patridge looked cute and casual meeting Lo Bosworth to film upcoming scenes for The Hills in LA. Her acid washed jeans added some spunk to a basic look that consisted of cap-toe ballet flats and a white tank.
