There's nothing better than a cashmere cardigan for Fall - especially when it's on sale. So, you can imagine how crazy I was for this Striped Autumn Cashmere Cardigan ($70, originally $278) when I spotted it at a major discount. That kooky kiwi color, those cute wide stripes, that perfect long style. Delish.

Reese always looks comfy. But she always manages to look polished, too. Post living la dolce vita with her beau Jake, Reese arrived at LAX looking incognito cool. Her baby blue cotton dress is airplane friendly, while her charcoal grey cardi and fringed sandals are multifunctional cute. Some simple jewels add sparkle and her never-leave-home-without-it fedora and shades scream superstar.

I have never tired of yellow. Actually, it was really big for a while and then it sort of went by the wayside. Leave it to Liv to bring it back in a cool, casual way. Her wide legged Seven Georgia jeans look comfy, but her yellow Catherine Holstein cardi (with black buttons) makes her pop. With tot in tow, she delivers personal style with funky mirrored aviators and her favorite leopard print APC bag.

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: Punchy Cardi

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:30:22 -0700

Cardigan obsession right here - especially J. Crew ones. I know what you're thinking: Cardigans are so prim and proper. Au contraire. They are excellent layering tools and there are more ways to cinch one than simply buttoning (try buttoning in the back or doing an old-school tie knot in the front). You don't want to know how many gray cardigans I have - my go-to for travel and lazy Sundays - so I'm thinking I need some punchy colors for the shorter days and colder nights. Call it cardi therapy. This J.Crew Crystal-button colorblock cardigan ($118) outshines the rest. The "silver honey" color is, in fact, punchy and the crystal buttons deliver my daily does of bling. Take note from SJP and pair this with my purple funky booties.

Celebrity Style: Rihanna

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:00:08 -0700

Remember how I said a striped cardigan has the ability to inject a dash of sportif into an outfit? Rihanna is more proof of that. The singer looked casual yet pulled together while hanging out in Manhattan yesterday. Unbuttoning her Cardigan French stripe cardigan was a smart move as it kept her from looking too prim. To add some girliness to the mix, she accessorized with Louboutin pumps and a patterned Gucci satchel. And, of course, it wouldn't be Rihanna without a pair of funky glasses and oversized hoop earrings.

Style For Style: Fly the Fab Skies

Want to look as cool and collected as Charlize while jetsetting? Pay attention.

Whether you vacation in the Summer or Winter (moi), as relaxing as a vacation can be, sometimes getting to and from is not so. I wouldn't call myself extremely well-traveled but my passport is pretty colorful. I have some tips when it comes to packing and making the airport trek as smooth sailing as possible. But before I divulge, remember: travel is stressful but what awaits on the other end is bliss. So sit back, remember to breathe and enjoy the ride.

Diane von Furstenberg delivers us many wise words and on the topic of packing, here are some, "I think if you've figured out how to pack, you've figured out your life." So don't fret my friends, mastering the art of packing is a life long task.

Packing 101

Maintain a coordinated color palette. That doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Red, purple, black and dark denim is a modern and interesting combination. As for the tropics, how does yellow, purple, white and gold sound? Fabulous.
Consider dresses, lots of dresses. Here is an item that’s easy to throw on and is an outfit in itself.
Keep shoes neutral; black, brown, metallic and white shoes/sandals. This will make things less stressful when trying to color coordinate outfits and accessories.

Razzle dazzle. Jewelry can liven up any look. I only travel with costume jewelry, for fear of theft or losing things. Do not pack your jewelry in your checked luggage - carry it with you.
Fold n' roll. Some items are better to roll, some are better to fold. Roll thin, delicate fabric tops and dresses; fold tougher, bigger items like jeans and jackets.
Handbags. This is the time to utilize your favorite, most functional, handbags; always bring a clutch for a night out or quick dinner.
Storage. You can store your costume jewelry, and small accessories like belts, within your clutch within your bigger handbags. This way your jewelry is protected and won’t break. Again, storing jewelry in your main bag is only recommended if you're not checking your luggage.
Wrinkle prevention. Carolina Herrera recommends using a lot of tissue paper, placing it between folds and garments, to prevent wrinkles. Also, extra TP always comes in handy, no?

In Flight

I always carry a comfy, cloth headband when I travel. In flight hair gets flat or static attack; you can slip one on, look put together and have your hair out of your face.
Cardigans. I find cardis are great travelers; they are lightweight, versatile and feminine. They manage to be cozy but not suffocating.
Cold feet. I tend to wear sandals on flights in warmer months. For a short flight I don't mind, but for a long one my toes get chilly. To prevent discomfort, and possibly getting sick, bring a pair of favorite socks so you can feel at ease throughout the flight.
Scarves are a must. Or pashminas. They may be trendy but they're also functional. Case in point: Charlize!
Hoop earrings - big or small - are ideal for travel. They don't scream wealth and they provide a touch of fancy for when you're feeling frumpy. They also work well with earphones, unlike big studs or chunky jewelry.
Go go green. Save some plastic and do your body, and planet, good by carrying a SIGG bottle rather than multiple bottles. These come in many fun designs now so pick one that communicates your personal style.
Just in case. I always carry a pair of clean undies in a Ziploc bag; if you're going to the tropics, I also recommend bagging a bikini - if anything goes wrong, you can swim your troubles away STAT.

Destination Anywhere

Worrisome wrinkles. Bring any wrinkled-en-route items into the bathroom with you when you (finally) get to your hotel and take a shower, hang it on the door, and let the steam naturally take some of the wrinkles away. No worries.
Lint control. Remember: you can always use the luggage stickers from the airline as a lint removing sticker!
Enjoy yourself!

Celebrity Style: Reese Witherspoon

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:08:34 -0700

Reese Witherspoon ditched her usually classic ensembles for something a bit more multifaceted, and I'm proud of her for expanding her horizons. While out and about with boyfriend Jake, the actress wore an airy black jersey dress, a cropped red cardigan, and accessorized with studded Tod's sandals and a woven Bottega bag. It seems more and more actresses are bringing the fedora back. Since it took a long, much-needed break, a comeback was in order.

Braided Straw Fedora - $44.00	Bottega Veneta black woven leather fold-over shoulder bag - $1,904.00
