Vanessa is living her college life to the fullest. Besides getting into rompy threesomes, the Gossip Girl also enjoys showing us her selection of unique and vibrant ensembles. While strolling NYC, Vanessa kept warm in a cozy colorful plaid jacket by Diane von Furstenberg, paired with a blue embroidered dress by Nanette Lepore. Black opaque tights shield her from the Fall chill, while gray ruched boots further her bohemian 'fit.

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat - genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties. I wish my former college ensembles were this hot . . .

Celeb Style: Demi Moore

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:15:08 -0700

I used to think wearing yellow and black would make me look like a bumble bee, but Demi Moore has proven me wrong. The actress attended The Joneses premiere at the Toronto Film Festival looking super flirty in a yellow silk ruffled dress, sleek Brian Atwood pumps, and a matching clutch. Her simple styling skills prove that the two hues can look harmonious, not dissonant, together. Color me inspired!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: King Tut Exhibit at the de Young Museum

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, I headed to the exclusive King Tut exhibit at the de Young Museum here in SF - so exciting. I saw Tutankhamun's tomb, ancient artifacts, and precious objects relating to the 18th dynasty. Cool, huh? My educational self-immersion took a whole day, so I needed you to put together a sleek ensemble that would withstand a lot of walking and staring.

I started you off with these Giles & Brother Tiny Pyramid Stud Earrings ($78) because they're an ode to beautiful, ancient Egypt. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by chloe bella, complements the theme. That snake bracelet is slithery slick.

Trend Alert: Funky Hemlines

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was no surprise seeing Fabcon Vanessa Traina at Couture Week. In fact, she might have taught a couple stylephiles a lesson or two in fabulous, pared-down Parisian dressing. We spotted Vanessa at Givenchy's entrancing show wearing an awesome floral dress paired with debatable Givenchy cutout sandals. Take note of the frock's funky hemline. This uneven style is a nod to the old school handkerchief cut, but less gypsy and more glam.

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Diane Kruger supported fellow German designer Anja Gockel by attending her show at Berlin Fashion Week. The Fab favorite lived up to her stylish reputation in a Summery ensemble that's girlie and utilitarian at the same time. The green cargo shorts balance out the feminine ivory crochet blouse, while her tan sandals add au natural sex appeal. Simple to re-create and well worth the effort!

Nanette Lepore cream eyelet 'Daddy-O' cropped blouse - $165.00	H81 Bead End Linen Short - $19.90
Steve Madden - Alicce (Tan Leather) - $109.90	Sabina Dakota Tote - $245.00

I Want This Wardrobe: '80s Flashback, Lily and Carol Rhodes

FabSugar — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:22:07 -0700

It's a blast from the past! Check out Lily and sister Carol in Gossip Girl's throwback episode. Aren't they adorable? We're used to seeing Lily polished in the present but as a teen, via Brittany Snow, she was all about color and fun thanks to costume designer Meredith Markworth-Pollack.

The bad girl paired her tiered polka-dot dress with pink Givenchy cut-out heels, lace leggings from Urban Outfitters, and a cropped asymmetrical jacket. Rad. Her sister Carol, aka Krysten Ritter, opted for a more vintage look wearing a nautical dress by Ya-Ya, Jordache jean jacket, white boots, yellow drawstring bag, and loads of accessories. I can only imagine the trouble these two caused. Oh, did I mention '80s heartthrob Andrew McCarthy will make an appearance as Lily's music-executive father? If you like what you witness in tonight's episode, keep your eyes peeled for producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's untitled Gossip Girl spinoff, which follows the crazy life of 17-year-old Lily in Los Angeles, circa 1983.

Nanette Lepore Kaleidoscope Dress - $375.00	Joie Cropped Motorcycle Jacket - Black - $698.00
Givenchy Cutout Shoe Bootie - $785.00	Silence & Noise Lace Inset Legging - $38.00
