Wondering how to add some sparkle while the sun’s still up? Here’s some of our tips to make sequins work at any hour. How do you prefer to wear your sequins? Let us know in the comments. --Lara

Rachel Roy’s Warrior Princess Dress

This dress offers a powerful sparkle statement with a modest silhouette – the perfect daytime sequin look when worn with tights, a chunky sweater, and a pair of boots.

See by Chloe Stella Fashion Dress

If you prefer your sequins with a bit more bronze, this dress is just right. Pair with a great ballet flat and some black tights for an effortless look.

Cara Accessories’ Black Swan Headband

A sequin headband is the perfect way to sparkle Blaire Waldorf style. Add to a simple LBD for a fresh, youthful look.

Gryphon’s Sequin Wrap Skirt

A sequin skirt with a longer length offers a stylish way to stand out. We like this best paired with a simple t-shirt and knee-high boots.

Badgley Mischka’s Screen Siren Gown

Just kidding! Unless you have a black tie party at noon, wear this stunning style only at night please.

We’ve been waiting for the latest new bandage dresses and they’re finally here!

2 Fall Weddings & Fabulous DJs

Jenn had a blast at Christina Lewis' East Hampton wedding and after-party this weekend (first thing she loved!). But, she was even more surprised when she learned that the after-party DJ was engaged to DJ Kiss (who got her dancing the previous week at the USWeekly bash) - so essentially Jenn's two favorite DJs in the world are engaged! Fate it is! Look out for both of them at the Rent the Runway first anniversary party in November.

Jenn and AJ went there last week for some classic TexMex.

One more fashionista wanted to share how she wore the Runway this fashion week. Check it out...

Carly Cardellino, SHAPE Beauty Editor:

"Off to the Nicole Miller show. I loved this dress because it was casual, yet dressy—the perfect option for day to night."

"Prepping for the Halston show. Honestly, I could have slept in this Helmut Lang dress it's that comfortable. I was also obsessed with the fit of the dress and the ruching, which allowed to me eat whatever I wanted at dinner later that night!"

"This Gryphon two-piece dress was my favorite—it was comfortable, classy, and perfect for the 80 degree weather! I wore it to the premiere of The Town at the Toronto International Film Festival and it was such a hit!"

The gorgeous Nicole Fiscella (from Gossip Girl) stopped by today to try on some looks. Pretty much everything looked amazing on her, but these were some of her faves! -- Lara

For ABC’s Bachelor Pad finale, contestant Gwen Gioia rented the runway with the help of her stylist Monika Suli.  What did she choose for her final look?  The Yigal Azrouel Very Violet Dress.  According to Gwen, she loved the dress for the finale because of the “fit and color” , adding that “the embellishment on the waist was very beautiful and eye catching on top of being figure flattering.” We think she wore it well!  - AJ

Congratulations to Bronwyn Bates, winner of the fabulous leather jacket from Yigal Azrouel! We are sure you'll be the envy of your friends this season in this amazing versatile piece... -- Lara

__________________________________________________________________________

If I had to pick one fashion crush, it would totally be Yigal Azrouel. Not only is he completely gorgeous, but my junior prom dress was from his first collection in 1998, which I bought at a great store around the corner from my apartment on the upper east side called Nellie M. (it has since vanished, a victim of the recession).

His clothes are to die for, and his fluid, feminine draping has given him the kind of staying power other designers dream of. Read on for his inspiration and learn why we are totally putting this amazing leather jacket on our "can't live without it this fall" list. --Lara

1. What inspired your Fall 2010 collection? 

The FW10 collection was a fresh take on sportswear and tailoring inspired both by menswear and an architectural, minimal approach.

2. How did you go about designing the prints in this collection?

I always work with my team to find prints that feel modern, whether it’s inspired by a book, artwork, vintage scarves, African textiles made into artwork, really the inspiration can come from anywhere.  From there we work on layout, scale, and color palettes

3. Which part of the design process do you like the best?

Draping. When a new fabric that we ordered comes in, it’s a new experience every time.  I can’t wait to break off a piece (yes, literally pull off a yard or two) and start to drape on a mannequin.

4. How is the Yigal Azrouel brand growing in 2010 (2011)?

It’s been a busy year for me. For Fall ’10 I expanded my handbag assortment and scarves, and will have my first shoe collection for Spring ’11, which has been something I have been wanting to do for years.  I also launched a contemporary brand called Cut25 which is hitting stores now.

5. If you could sit front row at a fashion show for any designer in history, who would it be and why?

Can I pick one from every decade?  I think early YSL is something I would have liked to have experienced.  I was at a Christian Dior couture show, under Gianfranco Ferre, in the mid-90’s and it was definitely an inspiring moment.

6. How do you celebrate finishing a collection?

I like to be surrounded by the people that helped make it happen, my team.  It really takes so much energy and dedication from a lot of people to make a collection happen.  Then get out of town to clear my head since a new collection is always right around the corner.  Not sure where I will be going after the NY shows in September but I hope it involves surfing.

7. If a girl was going to purchase her first Yigal piece, what would you want it to be? 

Definitely one of my signature washed leather jackets.  The newest version is in cognac and is convertible into a jacket, vest and cropped bolero.  There’s a lot of value because each shape looks cool.

It's September 2nd, 2010 and as far as we're concerned, it should be a national holiday. Donna Martin graduates!

To celebrate, we picked out some of our favorite styles for the California girl in all of us. Enjoy! -- Lara

Brenda wore a lot of black and since this model has bangs,this picture just screams Brenda Walsh. Plus, Dylan liked to keep her covered up in the high school years.

Kelly always looked casual and ready for the beach, so this Alice + Olivia frock would be perfect for her bohemian california style.

If Donna was around now, she would definitely be in a tight, fitted, Herve Leger mini.
