Sneak Peek! Matthew Williamson's Red Light Special

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so we couldn't resist showing off these appropriately festive Matthew Williamson pieces. These jewels are so Fab, they don't even need a special occasion to be worn. I would sport the dazzling heart brooch ($200) with a sleek black blazer; the luxurious custom initial wallet ($200) would be an everyday essential; and that amazing ribbon necklace ($650) Read more

Fabworthy: Arden B Faceted Double Brooch

I like bearing some skin. Being the California girl that I am, when it's time to bundle up I sometimes replace a flash of skin with a flash of flair. Easing into party season, I've been looking for ways to add individuality to last season's clothes.

A time when movies were black and Read more

Fab Redux: Over the Moon

What better to go with your Yves Saint Laurent star bracelet than a pretty Victorian crescent brooch ($65)? That way you've got both the moon and the stars; modern and vintage. The plated-gold, black enamel pin with a single seed pearl harks back to the 1890s, but still manages to be beautiful. Amazing. Read more

For Rodarte's Spring '08 show, designers Mark Walsh and Leslie Chin accessorized the models with their breathtaking jewels. This Flaming Heart Brooch ($1,250) was one of them.
