Fab Flash: Doo-Ri Shows Off Her Bejeweled Legwear

Doo-Ri Chung has learned the right pair of tights can instantly transform an outfit.

Doo-Ri Chung has learned the right pair of tights can instantly transform an outfit. After receiving high accolades for the leggings shown in her Fall collection, seen left, Doo-Ri has decided to launch a hosiery line.

“I would love to use studs or bring something in that could be smooth on the surface,” said Chung. “Legwear is so important because women today see themselves in complete looks, and with how big accessories have become, they see how models are on the runway and that’s how they want to get dressed.”

The Doo.Ri leggings collection will make its debut in the Fall. If her hosiery does well, Chung will consider creating a more extensive line for next Spring.

The jewelry mastermind behind Bing Bang, Anna Sheffield, has teamed up with hip NY clothing brand Bensoni to create a line of rocker girl baubles to complement its Fall collection. The exclusive line, which debuted at New York Fashion Week, includes a selection of earrings, necklaces, and cuffs made in inky, metallic finishes. My favorite piece has to be this rad cuff. Anna's combination of bronze and teal is genius. The collection will be available come Fall. I'm tingling!

I'm all for avant-garde dressing, but the crazy toppers at Isaac Mizrahi's Fall show take hats to a whole new level. I love handbags but putting one on your head is nonfunctional and it just looks weird! Seriously, how strange would it be to see someone pulling their keys out the top of their head . . .? Let me know peeps: are these hats crazy freaky or crazy fabulous?

Fab Blab: Hollywood Girls Talk Recession Shopping

There's no denying the current economic crisis.

There's no denying the current economic crisis. That said, I've been trying my best to save money and cut back on everything — even shopping. Times like these make me envy the lifestyles of the rich and famous, but even they aren't immune to this problem. At New York Fashion Week, Hollywood girls Michelle Trachtenberg, Jessica Stroup, and Nicky Hilton dished on how they've been cutting back on their spending habits.

Michelle Trachtenberg

  • Michelle likes to mix H&M and Target into her wardrobe. “I have always kept in mind that my fans are teenagers and they don’t have a lot of money to spend. They like to get looks for less.”

    • Jessica Stroup

  • Jessica claims she has “always been a bit frugal.” The actress likes to reinvent her old pieces and is always on the lookout for sales.

    • Nicky Hilton

  • Even the heiress is getting more money savvy. “I’m being smarter about my spending. I’m not going into stores and buying anything. I am buying more pieces instead of just a bunch of clothes.”

Fab Finger Discount: French Connection Cosmic Wonder Tube Top

Jenni Kayne's Fall '09 collection was brilliant, but I didn't expect anything less from the trendsetting designer.

Jenni Kayne's Fall '09 collection was brilliant, but I didn't expect anything less from the trendsetting designer. Among the standout looks was this all-black trouser and tube top set, finished with chunky sandals, a gold ball necklace, and black-rimmed glasses. Simple yet unmistakably cool, that's Kayne's forte. If you wish to recreate it, French Connection's Cosmic Wonder Tube Top ($80, originally $138) should be your starting point. It's pleated like the designer version but way cheaper. Get your Kayne on.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Bloodsuckers

I'm forever intrigued by bloodsuckers, but the sexiest monster has once again been popularized with the successes of Twilight and True Blood.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Bloodsuckers

I'm forever intrigued by bloodsuckers, but the sexiest monster has once again been popularized with the successes of Twilight and True Blood. I'm actually surprised I didn't see more gothic romance on the Fall runways; then again, we still have London, Milan, and Paris to go. A handful of New York designers delivered sultry, moody looks complete with sharp black outwear, ruffled blouses, lace aplenty, blood-colored tights and tulle, and neck-baring sexiness. Jill Stuart showed a youthful, slightly '80s version that would have garnered any Lost Boy's attention.
