Have. Want. Need.
Last week, I told you that one of Nina Garcia's 10 Fashion Essentials is a dramatic piece, like a cocktail ring. You must have let the idea of a statement-making ring go to your head: your Fab Finds are full of them! Especially with the holiday season upon us, a big rock could definitely be a good investment — or a fun personal treat. The Fab Finder of the week is anned, who found this chunky Read more
Gwyneth Paltrow stopped fashion hearts this evening at the Met Gala donning a remarkable Prada dress. The look was equal parts sexy and chic thanks to the elegant dove-gray satin, oversize paillettes detail, halter-style neckline, and cutout back. For accessories, the stunner opted for a pair of satin pumps with a clear heel, a structured clutch, oversize earrings, and a statement ring. Hands Read more
Fab reader JustPatience gave her Spring suiting a crisp, all-white upgrade. She sported a teal blouse beneath her slim white suit, then finished the look with nude pumps. Statement cocktail rings and gold aviators tie the polished style together. It's a fresh look that can go straight from the office to happy hour — an ideal nine-to-five option for warm, sunny days. Congrats, Read more
"He's using you for practice," Peggy Olson's Catholic mother warns this week on Mad Men. Mrs. Olson isn't too pleased that her working-girl daughter has decided to "live in sin," as the elder Olson describes it, with her boyfriend Abe. Modern American women with traditional parents may find the disapproval over moving in together familiar, but compared to the 1960s, society in general has become Read more
While we gravitate toward brighter colors come Spring, we couldn't help but fall for Nicole Richie's all-black ensemble, thanks to one very cool laser-cut leather top. For NBC's Summer press event, the style setter, designer, and now design mentor stepped out to talk all things Fashion Star and styled up an easy albeit edgier take on casual wear. We love how she balanced a statement-worthy top Read more

One of the biggest misconceptions about tweed is that it's solely a cold-weather trend — after all, it's of heavier weight, moisture-resistant, and incredibly durable — and while it is a great Fall fabric, there are also a number of ways to wear it for Spring. Designers like Jason Wu, Theyskens' Theory, Giambattista Valli, and more all showed sleek tweed dresses in their collections, proving Read more
There is something stately and surprisingly versatile about this pair of Midcentury Copper Ring Lamps ($1,500). When it comes to statement lighting, I usually go for wildly feminine pieces, but the brass material and geometric silhouette of these lights give them a more masculine edge. I like the idea of using them to balance girlie elements, like a large-scale floral wallpaper. At any rate, the Read more
Gwyneth Paltrow was a vision in white tonight at the Oscars — white in the form of a super elegant Tom Ford gown and cape. While she went for a sexy look just the other evening in a black jumpsuit for the Women in Film party, tonight she's kept everything feeling pure and very classy. She didn't wear earrings or a necklace — which might have been nice here — in favor of a diamond cuff and Read more
Soulful songstress Adele schooled us tonight in the art of modern elegance, which she juxtaposed with retro glamour. Her custom black embellished Giorgio Armani gown instantly reminded us of Mad Men-inspired formality, but it was her crimson lips and '60s-style winged eyeliner that drove the nostalgic evening ensemble home. While her sparkly dress and impeccable makeup made a siren statement, her Read more
