Handbag Designer Spotlight: MZ Wallace
Amid a sea of gaudy and ambiguous designer handbags, MZ Wallace purses stand out with their utilitarianism. Founders Lucy Wallace Eustice, a former Harper's Bazaar editor, and Monica Zwirner, a fashion stylist and interior designer, met through the fashion industry. Turns out, they had the same vision; they both realized that luxury consumers weren't about to give up their Birkins for newcomers.

Trend Alert: Red & Purple
A color combo for the more daring, I have always enjoyed pairing two of my favorite colors: red & purple. The deep, vibrant, blue-hued colors create a funky yet exotic synergy; I wear them with dark denim or black. This color combo was big on the runways of the Spring collections of both Prada and Gucci - can you dig it?
Celeb Style: Stella McCartney
The 2009 Glamour Women of the Year awards in NYC celebrated the industry's most powerful women. Rihanna went for high drama, but Stella McCartney played it nonchalantly cool. The designer walked the red carpet in a look from her Resort line: a purple silk frock, a cropped black collarless jacket, and black pumps.
2009 Primetime Emmy Awards Trend: Purple Majesty
I'm surprised purple majesty doesn't turn up on more red carpets. The color of royalty — and creativity — is both beautiful and unique. Several screen sensations decided to don my favorite color and the results were just lovely.
Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt
These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock.
Primetime Emmy Awards: Kimora Lee Simmons
K.L.S. sure knows how to ham it up on the red carpet! She blows you a kiss, and then steps back and lets you give her the old look up and down.
Fab's Faves From Spring '10 LA Fashion Week
LA Fashion Week recently wrapped up and there is some undiscovered talent to share. I sifted through the collections and spotted the best pieces from the likes of Maxine Dillon, Kevan Hall, Samora, and even Project Runway alum, Jarrell Scott. Most designs catered to LA's laid-back style, but a few stand-outs, like Oliver Tolentino, proved that the City of Angels can also create some of the most decadent gowns.
Design Your Own Chucks!
I've always been a fan of Chucks. They're comfy, iconically cool, and perfect for kickback days. You can imagine my excitement when found out I can make my own personalized pair with the brand's new custom creator tool.
Leighton Meester in Bright, Oversize Houndstooth: Love It or Hate It?
Leighton Meester is no stranger to pushing the fashion envelope. For the screening of 500 Days of Summer in NYC, the Gossip Girl donned an oversize houndstooth shift dress and slick snakeskin peep-toe booties. The red and purple combo is a bold choice — I love it — but I think strappy sandals would look better with this outfit.
Who Wore It Better? Red Satin Strapless Vivienne Westwood
Attention! It's a battle between a French and an American. Frenchie Marion Cotillard first wore Vivienne Westwood's red satin strapless dress to the London of Public Enemies.
