This Week's Fab Favorite: Alexis Bledel
Here are some fun facts about Alexis we didn't know: her first language is Spanish, she is 5'7" (doesn't she look petite, though?), and her favorite band is Radiohead. Considering the fact that she looked smashing in a Mischen dress, Alaia heels, and a cool gold clutch at the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 premiere, atop those other fun facts, Alexis is bonafide Fab. I always thought she was adorable on Gilmore Girls — those blue eyes are amazing — but she just went up a few notches.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Oscar de la Renta
This collection was a bit of traditional Oscar de la Renta - with poofy, dramatic dresses and full-of-sheen separates - fused with a more modern, androgynous Oscar. There's no doubt that the designer stuck with the overarching Spring theme of femininity, but he stayed away from flowy and went the structure route.
There were dramatic necklines, long red carpet gowns, bows, ruffles, floral patterns, pleats, metallics, pantsuits, shift dresses, skirt suits with cropped jackets, tuxedo-style frocks, bubble silhouettes and lantern sleeves.

Trend Alert: The Top Handle Handbag
A structured top handle handbag instantly takes an ensemble from frumpy to fine. Take Kelly Osbourne: her ensemble looks pretty grungy — fabulously early '90s — but choosing to carry a top handle purse magically polishes off her overall look. Structured to perfection.
I Love Your ShopStyle: The Power of Red
CherryLady's architecturally appealing ensemble is all about confidence. I love how she exemplified the power of red by incorporating a draped skirt with an eccentric red houndstooth top by Alexander McQueen. The gray and red color combo is ideal for Fall, and notice how she contrasted the structural theme with a girly red bow.
Look of the Day: Structured to Perfection
As far as I'm concerned, turquoisepassion is structured to perfection. It's mainly her fitted blazer that gives that illusion. So as not to be too stiff, she wore a flippy mini on bottom.
Anzevino & Florence Quilted Nylon Jacket: Love It or Hate It?
There's no doubt fitted parkas have made a comeback this season with a plethora of new cuts and colors. With that said, this Anzevino & Florence Quilted Nylon Jacket ($312) shows creativity, but I find it a bit strange. The subtle sheen is nice, but I'm iffy on the avant-garde shape.Look of the Day: Thinking Outside the Drape
Draped tops are often associated with fanciness, but Stylistress opted to wear hers with denim cutoffs. Thinking outside the drape, I like it. The juxtaposition between the flowy, feminine top and the structured shorts and wicked boots is hot.
