Pink Party: Tory Burch and Susan Lucci

Filed under: CELEBRITIES,Fashion — Tags: , , — fabgab @ 7:16 PM

I had the pleasure of meeting Tory Burch and Susan Lucci at a breast cancer charity event this past week.  Knowing I would meet Tory, I made sure to wear my Tory Burch dress.  I love it because of the retro style and classic navy color.  It seems I can style it in a hundred different ways since navy goes with everything.

As an ode to the pink ribbon, I wore my ribbon brooch and painted my nails pink for the event.

Susan Lucci was as sweet, poised and as beautiful as you would have expected.  She’s also strikingly thin and youthful looking!  Just look at her!  Truly amazing.   And Tory Burch, another guest speaker at the event could not have been more gracious, polite and lovely.

I’m happy to report that when Tory met me, she complimented me on how great the dress looked on me.  I couldn’t have been happier with the introduction :)

Celebrity Closet:

Filed under: CELEBRITIES — Tags: , — fabgab @ 1:05 PM

I’m fascinated by celebrity closets.  You can call it part fantasy, part jealousy, part lust.  Check out my earlier round-ups of celebrity closet photos.  And check out my most recent find from Giuliana Rancic, a celeb I can actually identify with.  She reveals her E! closet and teases Ryan Seacrest for making her wear flats here.

Ahhh if only I had a wardrobe set aside for me like this at work!

Rachel Zoe TV Marathon

Filed under: CELEBRITIES,Fashion — Tags: , — fabgab @ 8:35 PM

“I die.”  the 3 hour Rachel Zoe marathon that I finished today was pure fashion porn and now I’m breathless.   Rachel, being the like-minded Chanel fanatic, left me lusting over her every tweed blazer, chain purse and pearl necklace.  And did you see those endless fashions being pulled, organized and hanger-ed during the Globe award fittings? “OOC” (Out Of Control in Zoe speak).

This show fantastically feeds my weekend need for vegetation AND  fashion inspiration.

For you Rachel Zoe fans out there, check out this funny clip

Style Star – Olivia Palermo

You’ve seen my photo with Olivia at New York’s Fashion Week.   Now see her daily outfits this month at Vogue’s UK site!

I’ve always admired Olivia Palermo’s fashion sense and personal style as I think she dresses in a classy, fashionable manner – kind of sophisticated for her age too.  So it was interesting and refreshing to see how she mixes the high and low on a daily basis (something I try to do daily).  It seems she has a penchant for designer purses i.e. Hermes, and Chloe, and effortlessly mixes in vintage finds with Ann Taylor and Zara!  Here are a couple of my other favorite looks from Olivia.

Thanks to the fashion spot, we’ve got a couple examples on how anyone can copy her look for less.

Style Star – Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler, gorgeous model-like, mother-of-two / famed interior designer and reality TV show judge is one of my favorite style icons.

Her interior designs are stunning (some of my favs include her work at the Santa Monica Viceroy hotel, Maison 140 hotel and BG at Bergdorf Goodman) and in my fantasy world, my entire home would be decorated with her help.

It’s no wonder that I’m a collector of her coffee table books.  She’s got endless style.  And I can’t get enough of her designs.


Since I’m interested in celebrity closets, I of course, had to do a little research on Kelly’s closet.  It’s as enviable as I imagined.  Just take a look.

Keep Kim Kardashian’s Clothes

Filed under: CELEBRITIES — Tags: , , — fabgab @ 12:35 AM

photo from kimkardashianfan.net

I just learned that Kim Kardashian sells her unwanted, often unworn clothes on ebay AND she wears my shoe size (7)!   With 99.4% positive feedback and a collection of fabulous clothes and shoes from her overstuffed closet, she donates to the Dream Foundation which grants wishes to the terminally ill.

Here Kim takes you into her closet and discusses her most favorite finds. http://www.fashionair.com/index.php?action=watch&itemID=41406

Surprisingly she cites Gucci and H&M in the same sentence as two of her favorite brands.  Who knew Kim could be a frugal fashionista?
