Look of the Day: Pretty Lady
Props to X for Xiu for making her own dress. I like how this pretty lady paired her DIY cocktail dress with vintage accessories. A shimmering sight of perfection!
Love It or Hate It? BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress
The retailer that sells this BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress ($298) describes it as sexy, and that certainly isn't a lie. Observe — it has an open back, open sides, and a keyhole in the middle. The color is gorgeous and the draping lavish, but I would have liked it more if the sides were covered.
Look of the Day: Dreamgirl
Shoeaholic took a page out of the Dreamgirls costume book with her limelight-catching shimmery cocktail number. I love how the classic cut of the dress flatters her body, and the black fabric tones down the sequins so the look is totally glamorous. The silver and black shine of the shoes ties in well with the dress too!

How are these pieces different from the ones the designers create for their namesake lines?

I'm always a sucker for a J.Crew shoe — the classic construction and luxe details have made me a die-hard fan. The only thing that could prevent a full-blown shopping frenzy are the price tags. Fortunately for me — and you — J.Crew's final sale is loaded with tons of Fab footwear.
2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Mary-Louise Parker
Leave it to risk-taker Mary-Louise to don a cocktail dress to the Emmys. It works because it's ultrafrilly with the two-tone purple layered fabrics and a big, fun bow. And you have to love the glittery Loubs!
Fab Exclusive! Whitney and Olivia on Whitney's Fashion Week Debut
We've been longtime supporters of Whitney Port's Whitney Eve clothing line. It may have started off on an unsure note, but it's always a good sign when you are able to show at the tents at New York Fashion Week.
Whitney's collection fused girlie and romantic and, to my relief, wasn't too '80s.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Derek Lam
