There are plenty of designers whose entrance to the wedding-bag market might seem counterintuitive: Rick Owens, Maison Martin Margiela, Commes des Garcon. (Although I’d personally love to see what all of those companies would do with the genre.) Judith Leiber? That company definitely not among them. In fact, the question shouldn’t be, “Why is Leiber entering the wedding market now?” but, “Why didn’t it make this totally obvious decision decades ago?”

Exceptionally few people can rationalize the purchase of one of Leiber’s tiny, crystal-encrusted minaudieres. Even some women who could potentially afford them don’t go to the kind of events that would allow one to carry, say, a miniature, glittering dachshund. But a wedding, the most formal (and some would say most important) day in a woman’s life, just might provide the perfect opportunity to purchase a very special little handbag.

If you’ve seen any wedding photos recently (I’m in my mid-20s, I’ve seen enough on Facebook to last me for the rest of my life, thankyouverymuch), it’s hard not to notice what a prominent place wedding shoes have taken in the visual imagery of the day. There’s no logical reason that wedding bags can’t gain some of that adoration, and with bags like this three-tier confection, brides will surely want them documented as part of their special days. According to Women’s Wear Daily, Leiber’s wedding bags will be lined in blue silk (something blue, get it?) and retail from $995 to $7000, with silk, crystal-hardware accented bags falling at the lower end of the range and full crystal pieces ringing in closer to the $7000 mark. The line will debut in February, in time for the spring wedding season.

Cozied up in fair isle sweaters and stylishly low key in matched holiday apparel, models Du Juan and Fei Fei Sun are spreading seasonal cheer via H&M's new holiday campaign. Besides the $10 price tag that's got our attention, we're loving the warm holiday vibe and the merrily-chic Winter wear. So, are you feeling the holiday spirit?

So I got this vid from a friend via Twitter.

HUUNNTTEEEE. Let me tell you something...... 

These chick rap like the spitters I grew up bumping. Lyte, Latifah, et al.  They have real lyrics. Really real.

No gimmicks, no naked-ness-ness, just lyrics. Mad love to Money Stax and Neeky Devero.

Adding a jolt of color to your ensemble is one of the easiest ways to counteract a gloomy Fall day. I am loving how Fab reader omyheart used a pair of ruby red tights to accessorize her cute, cozy sweater dress. It's a totally unexpected pop of color that takes her cold-weather look to a fun, cheerful new level.

Congrats to omyheart!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

As a long time fan of Terry Richardson, I was excited to hear he was shooting one of my favorite urban models. Vanessa Veasley has a long resume. She's done videos, magazine spreads, and she's the face of ad campaigns. 

I always root for the smart girl, especially if she's easy on the eyes! Sometimes, it is difficult to be taken seriously if one or more of your body part is larger than average.

Trust me.
