Trend Alert: The Single Sleeve
The life of the single gal can be lonely. But there are no tears here. Single gal, meet single sleeve.
This Week's Fab Favorite: Alexis Bledel
Here are some fun facts about Alexis we didn't know: her first language is Spanish, she is 5'7" (doesn't she look petite, though?), and her favorite band is Radiohead. Considering the fact that she looked smashing in a Mischen dress, Alaia heels, and a cool gold clutch at the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 premiere, atop those other fun facts, Alexis is bonafide Fab. I always thought she was adorable on Gilmore Girls — those blue eyes are amazing — but she just went up a few notches.
Trend Alert: Far from Lame Lamé
Let's face it: Lamé got a bad rap. The world experienced too much of a good thing in the excessive '80s. I think we've finally recovered from the overdose.
Trend Alert: Lace Noir
Lace noir is back and it's sexier than ever. The vintage fabric that was once considered uptight and old-fashioned has now come back with svelte fervor. It will be huge for Fall but Gwyneth Paltrow already got the memo in this sexy lace dress by Stella McCartney.

Sweetheart Neck
A neckline on a woman's garment, either a top or dress, with a high back and a low-cut front with two curved edges resembling the conventionalized shape of a heart.

Designer Spotlight: Mischen
Mischen, which means "to mix" in German, quite fittingly describes designer Carla Knapp's ultra eclectic and feminine clothes. Before venturing off and starting her own line, Carla attended Parsons in NYC and worked as creative director for famous brands like Jill Stuart and Paper Denim & Cloth.
But her real education happened in local thrift stores when she was much younger.

All four starlets of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 looked fabulous at the premiere last night. But America always shines on the red carpet and that she did in her electric blue Brian Reyes dress. Gossip Girl Leighton Meester was also wearing Brian Reyes — a black-slip corset dress.
