New York Fashion Week Quiz: Guess the Designer Sketch!

New York Fashion Week begins in a few days, but already we're getting sneak peeks at designer collections via illustrations.

New York Fashion Week begins in a few days, but already we're getting sneak peeks at designer collections via illustrations. Today we received this beautiful sketch and note:

"Fall 2011 is inspired by dreamy illusive paintings, blurred images and sparkling lights, conjuring images of dimly lit nights in the chic Parisian night clubs of the 70's. Dresses in luscious prints revealed beneath rich, smokey colored shearlings, found beading and lace patched over delicate printed dresses, lace appliqués on silk tees under shimmering lurex sweaters, cocooning from the cold and ready to set forth on adventures in the city."

OK Fab readers, here's a test of your fashion prowess. Do you know which designer will be presenting this outfit at Fashion Week?

Inspired Style: Jennifer Lopez's Luxe Leopard and Camel

Jennifer Lopez never shies away from going glam.

Jennifer Lopez never shies away from going glam. So, it's no surprise to see her stealing the show behind the judges' table on American Idol. It's a look that nails the on-trend — and one of our favorite color duos! — without trying too hard. Just pair a fitted camel shift with a pair of fabulous, leopard-print heels ($395), like Lopez's Brian Atwood booties. Surprisingly low-maintenance, right? Now add a little sparkle with a cocktail ring, or two, and a pair of jeweled chandelier earrings ($180) for a polished look that doesn't take a lot to pull off.

This week, I'm bidding San Fran farewell till after the New Year, and heading to Miami to soak up the sun and ring in the holiday on the beach.

I'm adding something festive for my holiday parties, my Matt Bernson gladiators ($102, originally $169), and my favorite new bag. Take a peek at what I'm packing and shop for your own stylish vacay.

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: ADAM

Adam Lippes's ADAM collection delivers girlie cool the way we want to wear it all Spring.

Adam Lippes's ADAM collection delivers girlie cool the way we want to wear it all Spring. Tailored high-waist trousers mingling with lacy, bouncy blouses; peasant-style dresses get sexy back cutouts; embellished sheaths; and a pop of red leather on a hot day-to-night dress. Then menswear meets femme with vests and blazers pulled over breezy Spring whites and floating sheer tops. Just a little complicated, the place where practicality gets a perfectly playful edge.
