Cutie patootie Rachel Bilson spent an afternoon running errands in LA, but she didn't let a little to-do list stop her from dressing in style. Still, she maintained a level of comfort in Mayle's floral embroidered dress and flat sandals. I love that instead of Wayfarers, she threw on retro Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies to help her go incognito.
Nicky Hilton is all about funky printed dresses lately and why not because they look so darn good on her. In general, prints are hard to pull off, but Nicky's eye is impeccable; she chooses ones that are exotic and mature. This Fab silk Nu Collective dress she wore while out to dinner with her boyfriend is no exception. And her accessories — Jeffrey Campbell studded sandals and purple Valentino bag — do a fine job of accentuating the look.
We all have our special quirks. Some of us are self-conscious about having broad shoulders or maybe still working on that tummy. Don't fret, there are a lot of options to choose from to camouflage the areas you feel funny about and compliment the parts you love. Fab's here to help you find that perfect swimsuit.

Being petite can make finding the perfect swimsuit quite a challenge. Don't get me wrong, having a petite figure can be lots of fun! Smaller bodies can get away with loud prints and fun cuts. Avoid wearing solid colors and stay away from too much fabric.

Wearing form-fitting jeans in the heat can cause sticky, icky situations but Gisele Bundchen took care of the problem by opting for Paige Premium Denim's Roxbury crop jeans. This is the ideal way to keep cool and show off your shoes. The model continued her streak of effortlessness by throwing on a casual but cute ivory crochet top, an airy pink scarf, and comfy white flats.
Traffic school classes aren't going to stop Nicole Richie from busting out all her cutest outfits. This time around she opted for a loose-fitting M Missoni dress and gold gladiator sandals. On her arm is a gorgeous black Chanel bag (as of late, she's been ditching Balenciaga for Chanel, but I'm sure she'll be back to her signature in no time). Considering it's scorching in LA and she's attending traffic school, it's perfection.
I love shopping for clothes, especially when I can make a game of it. While purchasing outfits for my wee one, I try to buy pieces that will mix and match for multiple combinations. This red and blue plaid short–sleeve shirt from Lucky Brand will go with just about anything — khakis, jeans, camouflage print, and shorts. Keep the kid buttoned up with a light jacket that can add some flair to a plaid oxford or a basic tee. Throw on a pair of super bad sneakers to complete the darling look.

Can you smell them? The sweet, Spring-is-here smell of fresh flowers? Florals abound this season and they've also been quite literally translated onto vintage-inspired jewelry. I suggest you hit up your local vintage stores to score a one-of-a-kind fresh flower, but here are some pretties worth inspiring.
Team Fab was just chatting about how jewelry can really make an outfit. And with today's costume jewelry designers and yesterday's vintage jewelry, there are so many options. Julianne Moore's grey YSL dress is pretty awesome, but all I see here is that amazing colorful Boucheron necklace. I wouldn't even call it a necklace — it is jeweled art. Here are some more standout jewels, ready to inspire . . .
Braided handle handbags have a special place in my heart. If I had to pick another decade to have been a teenager, it would be the 70s. Anything braided has a 70s feel to it; it's that boho cool that celebs like Kate Hudson totally pull off. This is why Dazed & Confused is one of my favorite wardrobe movies! So dig out those wide legged jeans, pair them with one of these bags and go for a slow ride.
If that's just my fantasy, these modern day braided bags are sans the fringe and patches - they are quite sophisticated. Here are my picks.
