A lot of stuff is still unavailable, but I've put together some of the prettiest samples from the collections that are coming out now.

The matte lip is all over the place this season, and from the looks on the ramps, it'll still be going strong next year.

I've put together seven examples of matte done beautifully, with options for real women of all skin tones and color preferences. Click through and don't just get matte, get even.

I love it when tech shows up in fashion, which is why I always keep my eyes peeled when Fashion Week rolls around. Just because I love following tech trends, doesn't mean I don't love fashion - but I especially love it when they both join forces! Here are some of my favorite tech fashion partnerships from previous years.

Even though it's hot out, I can't seem to keep my hands - or wallet - away from the Fall goodies in stores. Perhaps it's a consequence of those Fall glimpses. In the past two days, I purchased a semisheer black sweater, a thin dolman-sleeve cardi, and a nubby funnel neck scarf. While you revel in the remaining days of Summer, gear up for the next season by taking my Fall runway quiz.

Are you all ready for Fall? Ha. I know you're on the verge of pouncing on Spring shopping, but it's always nice to know what's to come in your fashion future. The curtain has closed on the Fall shows. As expected, it was a tame season, but that doesn't mean it was boring. One city in particular disappointed (sorry Milan) while one (Paris) supplied the grand finale. Some of my favorites continued to dazzle (Louis Vuitton, pictured) and a couple surprises (Hussein Chalayan, Adam Lippes) reminded me that fashion is ever evolving. Without further ado . . .

Fab Flash: Doo-Ri Shows Off Her Bejeweled Legwear

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Doo-Ri Chung has learned the right pair of tights can instantly transform an outfit. After receiving high accolades for the leggings shown in her Fall collection, seen left, Doo-Ri has decided to launch a hosiery line.

“I would love to use studs or bring something in that could be smooth on the surface,” said Chung. “Legwear is so important because women today see themselves in complete looks, and with how big accessories have become, they see how models are on the runway and that’s how they want to get dressed.”

The Doo.Ri leggings collection will make its debut in the Fall. If her hosiery does well, Chung will consider creating a more extensive line for next Spring.

Fab Blab: Hollywood Girls Talk Recession Shopping

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:00:22 PST

There's no denying the current economic crisis. That said, I've been trying my best to save money and cut back on everything - even shopping. Times like these make me envy the lifestyles of the rich and famous, but even they aren't immune to this problem. At New York Fashion Week, Hollywood girls Michelle Trachtenberg, Jessica Stroup, and Nicky Hilton dished on how they've been cutting back on their spending habits.

Michelle Trachtenberg

Michelle likes to mix H&M and Target into her wardrobe. “I have always kept in mind that my fans are teenagers and they don’t have a lot of money to spend. They like to get looks for less.”

Jessica Stroup

Jessica claims she has “always been a bit frugal.” The actress likes to reinvent her old pieces and is always on the lookout for sales.

Nicky Hilton

Even the heiress is getting more money savvy. “I’m being smarter about my spending. I’m not going into stores and buying anything. I am buying more pieces instead of just a bunch of clothes.”
