la fashion week spring 2008

Take a short break with us to find out how we met two of our favorite gals, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port from The Hills. Today was Day Two of LA Fashion Week and we had just finished our backstage interview with designer Jeremy Scott (stay tuned for his runway review and our exclusive interview). We were turning a corner when we stopped dead in our fashionable tracks — LC and Whitney were chillin' against a wall, looking chic as ever. Fab duty called so we approached them, introduced ourselves and snapped a pic. Then we all lived happily and stylishly ever after. We hope you enjoy seeing our picture as much as we loved posing for it.

Long-time friends, Marissa Ribisi, Giovanni's twin sister and Beck's wife, and Sophia Banks have banded together to create a fun and wearable Spring collection.

Plaids, big stripes and funky prints graced kimono-sleeve cardigans, tunics, jumpsuits and t-shirt dresses. Solids were not ignored; bright hues like cobalt blue, neon yellow and hot pink made appearances with silk tops, footless tights, oversized cardigans, high-waisted skirts, and off-the-shoulder tees. Screen-printed tees included unicorns, guitars and the ABCs. It's obvious the designers paid special attention to denim. They were skinny, colored, cropped, folded, and finished with a white fly button. All were well-made and fit the models like a glove.

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if a hippie chick and a gypsy girl raided each other's closets? Welcome to Gregory Parkinson's Spring 2008 collection: a hybrid of tie dye and ombre prints that a hippie craves meshed with the flowiness and ease a gypsy needs for her vagabond life.

Color was everywhere in this happy collection and it included vibrant yellows, oranges, reds, pinks, purples and greens. Silhouettes mostly consisted of dresses — loose tank dresses, long tiered and layered frocks, belted ones — and skirts.

Mixed prints were also present and reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw's closet. Despite the ease and comfort of Gregory's clothes, each piece still carried an air of glam that every gal loves.

Jaime Pressly's line of knitwear, J'aime, is two years old but last night she debuted her newly expanded contemporary collection at LA Fashion Week. The runway show and party, which benefited St. Jude, was clearly a proud moment for the actress who was beaming all night long. Her My Name Is Earl costar Jason Lee was out to support his friend as was Nicky Hilton (who also had a show at LAFW over the weekend) and her boyfriend David Katzenberg. LA Fashion Week is just getting into full swing, and Fab is there for all the action. Check out all her updates both over on FabSugar and on Elle.com!

So I'm off to another fashion week — this time in the land of sun, celebs and sin — LA! While I'm looking forward to a more mellow fashion adventure, as opposed to the insanity of New York Fashion Week, I'm sure it will be just as fun. Stay tuned for juicy stories from the LA runways and parties and be sure to check me out as a guest blogger on ELLE.com again. It's been a while since I was down west, here's a pic of me last time, chillin' with some plants. LA here we come!
