Nanette Lepore
Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger
Diane Kruger supported fellow German designer Anja Gockel by attending her show at Berlin Fashion Week. The Fab favorite lived up to her stylish reputation in a Summery ensemble that's girlie and utilitarian at the same time. The green cargo shorts balance out the feminine ivory crochet blouse, while her tan sandals add au natural sex appeal.
I Want This Wardrobe: '80s Flashback, Lily and Carol Rhodes
It's a blast from the past! Check out Lily and sister Carol in Gossip Girl's throwback episode. Aren't they adorable?
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Georgina Sparks
Reformed bad girl Georgina Sparks reappears on tonight's episode of Gossip Girl, sporting a devilishly prim-girl getup. Since it can still be cold in NYC, Georgina layers on a maroon coat by Nanette Lepore, black tights, dusty pink scarf, and matching pink headband. Ferocious Christian Louboutin pumps, leather gloves, and textured tote complete her agenda.
Color Me Inspired: I Love You, Man's Sunshiney Bride and Bridesmaids
This Spring, in the comedy I Love You, Man, we witnessed one of the happiest, liveliest colors a bridesmaid can wear. The maids in the movie wore Nanette Lepore's "Still Free" shift dresses, FYI. Appropriate for a garden, beach, or even indoor wedding (if the reception or party is outdoors), your bridesmaids will thank you.
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf
Gossip Girl was back this week with a flock of fashionable playwright attire, but what really caught my eye was Blair's post-show ensemble. Despite major drama, the Queen Bee kept her composure in a beautiful, lace-embellished top by Nanette Lepore and equally stunning beaded skirt by Diane von Furstenberg. For accessories, Blair donned a silky rosette headband by Jennifer Behr, black pumps, and her favorite ruby heart ring.
Fab Finding Follow-Up: Viva Las Vegas
Last weekend, I escaped SF for some sin in Vegas, baby. Well, not really, but it was fun nonetheless. I actually attended a friend's bridal party, so we sipped champagne during the day and vodka at night.
Trend Alert: Badass Burnout
As a certified texture lovah, I jumped for joy when I started noticing the abundance of badass burnout designs. This semi-sheer texture adds a sexy cool vibe to any casual ensemble and even comes in an array of sassy frocks. I would wear mine casual like the tee on this model.
The Look For Less: Nanette Lepore Carwash Fringe Mini Skirt
I've been wanting a fringe piece in my closet to reflect my love of the '20s. I figure a fringe mini skirt, like this Nanette Lepore Carwash Fringe Mini Skirt ($110, originally $220) is good because I can modernize it with cool tees. I know it's on sale, but I don't want to pay over a hundred dollars for it.
Trend Alert: Contrasting Trim
Not too long ago I noticed leather trim was popular. A few weeks later and I've noticed an explosion of contrasting trim in all shapes and colors. I guess plain isn't game anymore.Trend Alert: Sweet Corsets
Sweet corsets are back. This flattering cut can do you no wrong with its structured corset shape and romantic appeal. I also like how the light boning reminds me of old-school lingerie.
