This Week's Fab Favorite: M.I.A
Oodles of celebrities looked pretty this week, but M.I.A had the whole world in her hands. She is downright funky, and talented, but we rarely see the British performer dressed up. Such was the dress code for MoMA's 40th Annual Party in the Garden in New York and the lassie's iridescent sequin cut-out dress was truly unique.
Trend Alert: The Bronze Gladiator
I revel in it when a previous bargain of mine finally makes it to trend status. Not to brag, but I scored a pair of Christian Dior bronze gladiators over a year ago on major markdown — they were from the 2008 Cruise collection. It was right when gladiators were surfacing, though I've always liked the masculine/feminine sandal.
Trend Alert: Taste The Rainbow
So you wear black year 'round. Does that mean you can't taste the rainbow? Every gal should have a pair of crazy varicolored shoes in her collection — what better way to add some flair to an LBD, or a LWD for that matter?
Fab Ad: Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008
Does Marc Jacobs have a new obsession? First Sri Lankan songstress M.I.A. DJed his runway after party last month, and now she appeared in the ad campaign for his Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line, so it sure seems like it.
24/7 Flats
You know those not-so-fresh days? Even I have moments of style slaking when I really just want to run my errands in a pair of Chucks and an old hoodie. However, I have a reputation to upkeep.
Trend Alert: Metallic Peep Toe Flats
It may be a mouth full but metallic peep toe flats are flat out cute. They deliver just the perfect amount of metallic without being too flashy. As well, you can play around with fun toe nail polish colors to create interesting contrasts.

I Want This Wardrobe: Cashmere Mafia, Mia Mason
We're four episodes into Cashmere Mafia and I still haven't made up my mind about the show and the wardrobe. Yes, I respect costume designer Patricia Field for her work on Sex and the City, but overall, the outfits are a bit unrealistic. I mean, do these women ever take off those trendy belts?
The Look For Less: Balmain Ankle Fringe Sandal
I'm all about fringe. It gives off a carefree, bohemian vibe, and I'll use any excuse to dress up like Pocahontas. This Balmain Ankle Fringe Sandal ($375, originally $750) is exactly what I'm looking for, but even on sale, it's still too rich for my blood.
