Love It or Hate It? Angela Bassett's Walk of Fame Look

Ah, I love Angela Bassett.
by

Ah, I love Angela Bassett. Upon receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, the actress said, "Who would have thought that a little girl in pigtails from St. Petersburg, Florida, would grow up to find herself gazing at a star with her name on it, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? This day is so, so special to me." So sweet.

Not only is she getting recognition for her talent, she's also come a long way from wearing those pigtails. This sophisticated hairstyle has a slight nod to the early '60s, but it isn't overtly retro. And can we talk about her beautiful skin for a moment? When I saw this picture, I thought, "Wow, she looks amazing — she must be close to 40." Wrong — Angela turns 50 this year. Can you believe it?!

Jade Jagger Satin Skull Beaded Bracelet: Love It or Hate It?

I swear Jade Jagger reads Fab.
by

I swear Jade Jagger reads Fab. Shortly after I announced her a Fabcon, her new jewelry line popped up in ELLE and our favorite shopping websites. Obviously I dig her boho, rock n' roll vibe, but aren't we a little over skulls? Most of her jewelry line involves the motif that flourished last Spring, i.e. this Jade Jagger Satin Skull Beaded Bracelet ($255). I still like skulls, I would just rather be wearing stars around my wrist right now. Thoughts?

Trend Alert: Turquoise Nail Polish

Among the many qualities that make Whitney Port (of The Hills) so lovely is that she has her own style.

Among the many qualities that make Whitney Port (of The Hills) so lovely is that she has her own style. I've always thought of Whit as someone who sets trends as opposed to following them. So when I spotted this style star sporting shiny turquoise nail polish, I was excited.

For anyone who's willing to try out a wild new water-colored varnish, get ready for the next big nail trend. You can always go back to my China Glaze review, and here are two more aqua nail polishes.


Nic's Sticks by OPI in Baby Go Bye-Bye ($6.99) is a vibrant turquoise color. This relatively new and easy-to-use nail polish pen is great if you are looking for a quick color fix. I haven't tried them, but there are 30 colors and from what I understand, the only drawback is that they are a little runnier than the original OPI formula. The advantage: the polish dries in just one minute.

Rachel Bilson premiered more than just her movie Jumper in Japan earlier today. Check out her new blunt-cut bangs. It's easy to understand why she'd want to change up her hairstyle a little bit. She's been in hundreds pictures recently promoting this movie and her hair has pretty much stayed the same ever since The O.C.. What do you think of this new cut?

Trend Alert: Corkage

In the world of wine, corkage is something entirely different as in the wonderful world of fashion. In Fab land, corkage implies a light hearted '70s sex appeal, via shoes. Turned off already? Cork isn't for everyone, but if you have some Farrah Fawcett just waiting to break free, take one of these flirty pairs for a ride.

7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Denim is a tricky fabric to work with, especially when it's used on dresses.

Denim is a tricky fabric to work with, especially when it's used on dresses. This 7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress ($172) would be lovely in another fabric, but the denim makes it seem outdated and stiff. Nice try 7 For All Mankind, but I'll stick to just wearing your jeans. What are your thoughts?

Trend Alert: Goth Lips at London Fashion Week

At London Fashion Week, I noticed a couple of outlandish beauty trends such as crimped hair and modern cornrow braids. But what I remember most vividly from my backstage access was the look of goth lips.

Designers like Julian MacConald, Nathan Jenden, Ossie Clark and Inbar Spector all chose a midnight lip to reflect a chic and distinguishable edge. I'm not a big fan of morbid makeup, but it definitely has shock value on the runway. Would you ever wear blood-colored lipstick?
