Fall Glimpse: Texturize It
The future is upon us. Fabric innovations have brought fresh and interesting textures to the runways. Upon the streamlined shapes of Fall, these complex and high-tech fabrics, like heat-fused wool-and-silk blends, glazed mohair knits, full on plumage, and glossy treatments, outshined some of the silhouettes (and the models!).

Notice how Serena van der Woodsen toned down the sexy in this episode of Gossip Girl. During a congressional visit, the Upper East Sider wore a navy boyfriend blazer over a simple black minidress. Smart move layering the short hemline with textured tights.

This Week's Fab Faves
Wow. It's not every week my faves elicit that response. The holiday party circuit seems to be revving up and it shows in star's styles.
The Look For Less: Kate Spade Sequined Long Shoulder Bag
Each year, I look out for a new shiny bag I can make my partner in crime for the holidays. This Kate Spade Sequined Long Shoulder Bag ($375) totally fits the bill. I dig the long strap and how the texture is imperfect.
Which Marchesa Was Most Fab at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala?
Last week at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala, Kerry Washington and Georgina Chapman wore pretty, poufy frocks from Georgina's coveted Marchesa line. Both dresses were white, but notice how the two styles varied in texture. Kerry's tulle embellishment and streamlined shape gave a more architectural appeal, while Georgina's feathered creation emoted flirty, flapper energy.
A Drugstore Version of Dirt
I've already waxed poetic about the magical, sweet-smelling hair styling paste that is Dirt by Jonathan Product. As Jonathan (from the reality show Blowout) explains on the label: “There’s something amazing about the way hair looks and behaves the day after — washing, that is." Seeing as how I'm obsessed with Dirt, I couldn't help but notice a suspiciously similar product while browsing the aisles the other day at Walgreens.
Fab Finding Follow-Up: Parti Armani
I never tire of boutique parties. There's always amazing eye candy, yummy apps, and irresistible bubbly involved. A couple weeks ago, I attended an Armani party.
Trend Alert: Patterned Tights
I've heard friends say they're one of those things that are fun in theory, but dicey in reality. And don't plain black tights seem so . .
Trend Alert: Funky Foliage
Never mind who the cutie is standing alongside Erin O'Connor (if you must know, it's Daniel Stewart), check out the amazing funky foliage necklace she has on. The fluffy silk organza petals add major dimension and texture to her 'fit, but if that's not your thing, fresh floral options also come in silver, gold, and mixed metals. Here's a cool DIY tip: purchase a couple of small silk flowers from your local craft store and glue them on to your existing stash of pearl or metal chains.
