This week's episode of Grey's Anatomy was a bit of a baffling mess, but at least I got one good thing out of it: the discovery of The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra. The LA band's song "The Uniform" from the Escapements EP kicked off Thursday's episode, and it stuck in my head enough that I needed to look it up first thing Friday morning. Since then, I've become a bit addicted to a few of the Read more
Hundreds of US Navy seamen have arrived in the Big Apple for this year's Fleet Week. Throughout the year, active military ships dock at ports around the country, giving the sailors a chance to explore the city's attractions. As for the locals, they're treated to military demonstrations and a batch of cute young men, and women, walking around the streets in uniform. If the good-looking guys don't Read more
Women are said to love to a man in uniform, but what about on their wedding day? Prince William got a promotion in the British Armed Forces today and a new title: Colonel of the Irish Guards in the British Army. I have no idea what that means, but I do know it comes with a fancy — and flashy — new outfit that may leave Kate Middleton rethinking her Spring wedding colors. The ceremonial Read more
I don't remember aliens making an appearance in my own childhood sessions with Battleship, but I suppose when you try to make a toy into a feature-length film, you're afforded a few liberties. Unfortunately, the producers of Battleship may have spent too much time finding creative ways to explode things and not enough time on a plot, ending up with underutilized actors, in a wishy-washy Read more
Weddings of the military-minded 1940s involved men in uniform, simple gowns, big band entertainment, and plenty of romantic details. It was the decade of film noir, Casablanca, "Rosie the Riveter," and the introduction of classic pin-up girls — plus the royal wedding of then-Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 1947. Hoping to channel a bit of vintage flair on your big day? Read more
The end of The Vampire Diaries is nearly here and we're positively befuddled after seeing these pics of the season finale. It looks like this will be a major flashback episode, complete with Aunt Jenna and Elena's parents! Given Elena's cheerleading uniform, these are definitely from a time pre-Salvatore brothers, but that's not to say the finale will be totally Stefan and Damon-free; it looks Read more
From pretty pastel hues to darker frocks and embellished tops, this week's most stylish Fab Community members showed off a wide spectrum of Spring trends. We loved spotting one cool Marni for H&M interpretation, ladylike pleats, and a couple of striped uniforms worth coveting. Here are our favorites: maxi pleats, I believe in pink, breath of fresh air, sweet 'n' tough, Marni uniform, palazzo Read more
The leading ladies of Glee — Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jayma Mays, Naya Rivera, and Heather Morris — all stepped out last night for an episode screening at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. While their characters have unique style personas (cheerleader uniforms, schoolgirl separates, and rocker-chick wares) onscreen, it's also fun to see how these actresses dress for the red Read more
Fab reader Tinaciousme styled up effortlessly chic pieces, which resulted in an outfit we'd wear everyday of the week. She paired a sweet cream collared blouse with slouchier utilitarian-inspired pants. Then, she topped her uniform off with an ivory-hued faux fur vest and bohemian feathered earrings. For the final touch, she added brown wedge booties. It's an easy look to re-create and super Read more
