Look of the Day: Low-Key Luxe
This cute look from Fab reader AdriNicTrax is low-key yet super chic, and best of all, it employed two of my favorite trends of the year — leopard and military-chic.

Congrats to AdriNicTrax! Everyone else, submit your Read more
10 Ways to Achieve Fall's Military Trend
With Fall gaining momentum, it's time to turn our attention to the trends at hand. First on our list, the military-inspired craze.

Look of the Day: Chic Military
You can go a few ways with military: the slouchy, masculine route, the gamine route, or a more polished route, which is what Fab reader Lillian Vikki did.

We love the genius styling! Congrats to Read more

Look of the Day: Glitter Brigade
What's better than a little military jacket? One that's styled up perfectly with juxtaposed separates, like Fab reader indieelectroalt's glittery mini. She knows that when going bold with the sequins, the rest should be pared down — and she executes it flawlessly with easy-cool, neutral add-ons like her ankle boots and boho bucket bag. Cool-girl casual at its best. Congrats to Read more

Balmain Fall 2012
Olivier Rousteing conjured up a Louis the XIV-meets-rocker vibe for Balmain's Fall 2012. It's Balmain's signature cool-girl appeal done up in rich Baroque-era references — brocade and pearl embellishments cover nearly everything, slim pants and maxi skirts feel infinitely more luxe in velvet fabrications, and pretty floral-embroidered details feel almost like oil paintings.
