Have. Want. Need.
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! Unless you're using them as curtain tiebacks, tassels in general are merely a decorative feature — a finishing touch. This one's an Read more

When in a mad rush, throw them on and get instant glamification. The current bidding price is at $0.80, and the auction ends on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Good luck and happy bidding! Read more
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

The clustered strands add a swinging, vintage quality to her ensemble, and look how it contrasts with her striking blue top. These fun confections, which were in abundance at the Emmy Awards, come in all types of splendor. Go native and opt for a multi-colored beaded Read more
I have quite the style crush on Derek Lam, but I'm overwhelmed by the humungo tassle on this Derek Lam Isolde Square Tote with Tassel ($1,695). Other than that I love — the puddy color, the square frame, the rolled shoulder strap, all very beautiful. Does the tassel bug you too? Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here! To post your selections go to the Love It or Hate It? group. And if Read more
TasselAire perfumed tassels ($35) infuse a subtle fragrance into the air of your home, simply by hanging them on your doorknobs, closet hooks, or armoire keys (if you've got one). You can also use them as tie-backs of curtains. There's a decent variety of scents available, including lavender and rosemary, bitter orange, and Mediterranean jasmine. Assuming they smell nice, I love the idea of 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
Suffice to say, fringe is having a moment. From '20s glam to funkier boho tiers to full on '80s rocker vibe, the flapper-derived trend was seen on the runways of Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Gucci, and more. Whether you wear your tassels at the hem, in a capped shoulder detail, or bedazzled along the neckline, this distinct trimming adds flounce and fancy to every garment. And depending on how Read more
Rachel Zoe is a busy woman, juggling The Rachel Zoe Project (which has not yet been renewed for season five), her signature Rachel Zoe collection, a line for QVC, 10-month-old baby Skyler, and a new television production company called Rachel Zoe Productions — but that's not stopping her from doing more. Zoe has plans to launch two new categories to her signature line: costume jewelry and Read more
Heather Morris didn't skimp on the drama tonight, opting for a bold leather-trimmed gown — complete with a sheer train. She complemented the bare, off-the-shoulder neckline with full curled locks and major jeweled tassel earrings. To amp up the statement power on her bottom half, she revealed a pair of metallic-silver pumps peeking out from beneath her hemline. What do you think of Heather's Read more
