As a certified texture lovah, I jumped for joy when I started noticing the abundance of badass burnout designs. This semi-sheer texture adds a sexy cool vibe to any casual ensemble and even comes in an array of sassy frocks. I would wear mine casual like the tee on this model. On another note, did you know that the process of making this texture actually involves burning out the fabric? Cool.

Trend Alert: Vivacious Velvet Jackets

Whitney Port is all about staying sassy.

Whitney Port is all about staying sassy. Check her out in LA wearing a vivacious velvet jacket. That's right people, velvet coats are back in abundance with refreshing cuts and colors. I suggest brighter hues for blazers and a darker palette with larger coats. I like how The City girl wore her navy blue Edwardian style jacket with light denim jeans — now that's Winter in LA.

Hoodies

Fab Finger Discount: Spiegel Gray Sequin Hood Hoodie

Hoodies are inherently casual but throw in some sequins and it's a party.
Spiegel at ShopStyle

Hoodies are inherently casual but throw in some sequins and it's a party. Without the sparkle accent, this Gray Sequin Hoodie ($35, originally $59) would have been commonplace. And Fab girls don't settle for that! Throw it on over a fitted white tee, a black mini skirt, a pair of Chucks, and you'll have yourself a comfy chic ensemble. I love it already.

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue.
Yves Saint Laurent at ShopStyle

In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue. I would grab my fabulous Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote ($1,495) and set out to buy the latest and greatest fashions. Wouldn't that be nice? While shopping on 5th Avenue might be a far cry from reality, I can surely find a similar shopping companion, no?

Style Glossary

Style Glossary: Suede

Suede A type of leather with a napped finish.

Suede

A type of leather with a napped finish. It is made from the under side of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède," which literally means "gloves of Sweden." Suede can also refer to a similar napped or brushed finish on many kinds of fabrics.

If you like the smooth feel of suede, try this Spiegel Suede Swing Top ($99, originally $129). It would look great over a pair of stovepipe jeans.

Trend Alert: Lighten Up

We've witnessed the resurgence of black blazers, but being Fab, I like to jump ahead of the curve.
Vanessa Bruno at ShopStyle

We've witnessed the resurgence of black blazers, but being Fab, I like to jump ahead of the curve. I urge you all to lighten up in light-colored blazers. Katie Holmes just did and I'm sure you can, too. And yes, white and light colors can be worn after Labor Day.

This refreshing color option makes for a great contrast against any Fall ensemble and will keep you looking sharp. Don't believe me — try it out yourself.

Trend Alert: Wild Scarves

Kate Moss may have been the originator, but check out that girl Kelly Osbourne.

Kate Moss may have been the originator, but check out that girl Kelly Osbourne. The transformed Brit is strutting her effortless style in a rockin' leopard scarf. That's right people, wild scarves are back with a ferocious roar. These felines add a punch of old school glamour to any ensemble and make for an amazing statement piece. Opt for minimalism and pair these print-heavy scarves with a neutral palette.

I've been drooling over Mike & Chris leather jackets for quite a while, but the duo's latest design has me in a daze. This Mike & Chris Bronze Leather Jacket ($885) is très chic.

Metallic? Check. Leather? Check. I really need this awesome jacket but yikes! The price tag will leave me in financial agony. That leaves me with one choice. Find something cheaper, of course.

Trend Alert: Knock on Wood

Knock on wood. But this time, try it with your feet instead of your knuckles.

Knock on wood. But this time, try it with your feet instead of your knuckles. Sound awkward? But it looks so good. Wooden heels meld together sophistication and sass.

A wooden heel gives off a nonchalant attitude, while the sleek design puts your manner in check. Thanks to the elevated platform and absorbent heels, these platforms are fairly comfortable and easy to walk in.
