I'm swooning over this Hollywood Regency Gilt Tassel Bench upholstered in blue and white ikat from Madeline Weinrib. With the gilding, the curves, the luxe fabric, and of course, the tassels, it's totally ostentatious. But sometimes a girl is entitled to flaunt it!

Kelly Ripa is on camera a lot, so not only does she always have to look camera ready but also camera pretty. While filming a segment in NYC, Kelly opted to dazzle the cameras with a kimono-style Anna Sui dress and Yves Saint Laurent Tribute platforms. Sui's prints are desirable because they're always wonderfully hippie and feminine at the same time. I thought Kelly's look needed some more Read more

I'll admit that when I first laid eyes on Gucci's Indy Bag, $2,990, it wasn't lust at first sight. But it came to life for me when I saw it on Jennifer Lopez. Granted the rest of her outfit is a tad overbearing, but that metallic bag with tassels really stands out and grabs your attention. On the right person, it can be a fashion jackpot. To see the look for less, read more Read more

Fab reader JustPatience showed off a ladylike silhouette with a bold edge.
