Don't Miss:

The season finale of NBC’s Fashion Star is almost here! Last night, the mentors and judges had to slash six contestants to the final three. The pressure was on as each designer presented two looks, and H&M, Macy’s, and Saks Fifth Avenue all walked away with new designs. But which one did we like most? Our top pick is Orly Shani’s two-tone dress, which was scooped up by Saks  ($295 at saksfifthavenue.com). “The hourglass shape is very flattering for a woman’s body,” said Saks buyer Terron E. Schaefer of why he bid $60,000 on the look. We love how the neutral colors can provide a great backdrop for standout accessories. See the rest of the night’s winners in the gallery, and tune in to see who takes home the top prize during next week’s finale episode.

Nicole Richie is creating a collection for Macy’s Impulse capsule series! Joining the ranks of Impulse guest designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Giambattista Valli, the Fashion Star mentor will bring her signature bohemian style to the retailer this fall. “I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Macy’s and create a collection that channels the individual artist in all of us,” said the House of Harlow 1960 designer. Her lineup will include maxi skirts and crop tops in retro prints, priced between $49 and $149. It’s set to launch this September in select Macy’s stores and on macys.com. Are you excited?

The eighth episode of NBC’s Fashion Star aired last night, and H&M, Macy’s, and Saks Fifth Avenue all walked away with new designs. But which one did we like most? Our top pick is Luciana Scarabello’s tailored silk tulip hem dress, which was scooped up by Saks. The designer showcased the design in spring-ready floral print ($325 at saksfifthavenue.com) and basic black ($295 at saksfifthavenue.com). We love the look’s cut-away neckline (no need for a necklace!) and waist-defining shirring. See the rest of the night’s winners in the gallery.

Did you watch Fashion Star last night? Of the designs that won bids from H&M, Macy’s, and Saks Fifth Avenue, our favorite was this pair of high-waisted floral shorts by Ross Bennett. The style caused a bit of a bidding war, and Macy’s walked away with the spring-ready design for $120,000. “Love the @TheRBCollection shorts in pink paired with my @JSCollection Fawana Platforms!!” Jessica Simpson tweeted. Shop the look in floral print, pink, and green gingham for $59 at macys.com, and click through the gallery to see all of last night’s winning designs!

On the second episode of NBC’s Fashion Star last night, the buyers erupted into a bidding war over Kara Laricks’s tie-back plaid scoopneck dress, and Saks Fifth Avenue won with its $110,000 bid. Though, that’s not the look we loved most. Our favorite was this simple, easy-to-wear pink dress by Lisa Vian Hunter. The style works for day and night, weekend and work (we’d tie the belt in the back and pair it with bright flats). And, at $99, Macy’s priced the versatile design just right. Looks like America agreed—the style sold out in both its pink and pattern versions hours after the show aired. (Note: The Sarah Parrott-designed trousers that H&M bid on also sold out.) See all of the winning looks in the gallery now, and tell us, which design did you like best?
