Now that we've defined it, we can eat it up. I didn't realize until Marc Jacobs' Spring collection that I've always been lovin' Lurex. A sucker for anything sparkly, Lurex adds a smidgen of Studio 54 to any item. Many of us won't be able to afford MJ come Spring, so scour your local vintage shop for Lurex infested items. Either way, hop on this trend before it's hot. Read more
Gossip Girl Leighton Meester (aka Blair Waldorf) was looking quite the Fabionista in her one-shoulder star dress at InStyle Diamond Fashion Show Preview Luncheon yesterday. It seems the star trend has already trickled down from the runways to the red carpet and I like it. A star wearing stars? Brilliant! Shop Sophia Read more
Call me crazy, which I may very well be from looking through your Fab Finds this week. Crazy patterns were bright, dizzying and busy! They consumed jackets and tops, but far and away they covered dresses with their repetitive patterns and graphic shapes. Okay, I have to go take a breather now, before I end up in the looney bin... The Fab Finder of the week is littlemissme, who found this Read more

Obviously, her good looks were handed down from her parents, but constantly being so well groomed requires a serious beauty regimen. While nobody but Kate knows her exact routine, we've uncovered a few products and Read more
Thousands of cookbooks were published in the last year, but which ones are really worth buying? The International Association of Culinary Professionals, or IACP, tackled the question as it announced its cookbook award finalists for 2012 today.

Do you recall how last year, Hawaii became the first state to ban shark finning? Well, California followed suit this past weekend. On Saturday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that bans the possession, sale, and distribution of imported shark fins, calling the practice "cruel" and the new legislation "in the interest of future generations." Fins already in the state may be sold and Read more
Carey Mulligan left the NYC theater where she's starring in Through a Glass Darkly yesterday, wearing a breezy maxi dress that showed a peek of her lacy bra. The actress dyed her hair a darker shade of brown for the off-Broadway production, which has been keeping her busy since she finished shooting Drive with Ryan Gosling and wrapped up award season. She even skipped the Cannes Film Festival, Read more
