The sheer colors alone make this one a stand-out outfit for Miss Serena van der Wooden. She avoids the rain in NYC in a colorful Missoni skirt and a Robert Rodriguez tank, which she balanced with a denim vest, Jean Michael cage heels, and a beige Mulberry tote.
There are couples who love to coordinate, and there are those who can't stand it. Apparently, George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis fall into the former category. During Milan Fashion Week, the duo stepped out in matching black suits. Granted, Elisabetta's version is way slimmer and sexier, with a black cami underneath, cap-toe pumps, and a black clutch. So take a good look at both George and Elisabetta, and tell me, who wore their black suit better?
Back in May, three months after Alexander McQueen's death, it was announced that the designer's right-hand woman, Sarah Burton, would take over as creative director. Now, she is speaking for the first time about her new role at the house of McQueen. "I don't think it has to have as much angst in it. I think it will become softer. There will always be this McQueen spirit and essence. But, of course, I'm a woman so maybe more from a woman's point of view," she said. She will do her best to live up to McQueen's genius, but will also lend her unique sense: "That was very much Lee's territory — the spectacular show. In that way, I can't try and pretend to be Lee." Now that Sarah Burton is here to stay, let's get to know her a bit better . . .
She was born in Cheshire, England, and is one of five children.
Burton loved clothes early on: "I always drew dresses. I remember loving Richard Avedon's early Versace campaigns. I used to plaster my whole walls with them when I was a kid."
She attended Central Saint Martins in London and studied print design.
While I always love a good sale, I don't think I've ever worn an ensemble comprised entirely of sale items! But there's a first time for everything, right? Here's my latest styling job — an ensemble that would undoubtedly make the wearer look like a cool chick. The clothing pieces, especially the Tory Burch Embellished Sleeve Top ($99, originally $165) and Ella Moss French Terry Eased Track Pants, ($50, originally $110) are the highlights, while the accessories add further spice.

In case you had any doubt, white will be popular for Spring. The design duo at Dolce & Gabbana celebrated their quarter-century collection with a show done nearly all in white — and, according to Mr. Domenico and Mr. Stefano, they based it all on the items that would go in a bride's hope chest before she marries.
The collection ranged from semi-virginal minidresses decked out with lace, eyelet detail, and embroidered appliques, to satin lingerie that likely would stop a groom's heartbeat. It was refreshing to see a collection that was, simply put, pretty. Crystal detailing on a chiffon-overlay sheath dress took our breath away, and on the simpler side, a sheer cotton eyelet sundress has us missing the warmer months already.

Fashion has long been obsessed with the combination of hard 'n' soft — it's a magical mix! Just look to Fab reader Taylorkay for proof. Her leather leggings are badass to the bone, but her soft chiffon blouse takes them to a pretty place. The cloche hat furthers the sweet factor, while gray lace-up booties feed the cool.
You may have heard by now that Olivia Palermo's bag confidant during NYFW was CC Skye's Onie messenger. It's a glamorous-slash-utilitarian style, but there's way more where that came from in the Fall collection. Proceed to see CC Skye's entire Fall bag line, then be sure to watch our exclusive interview with the designer.
