Get ready bargain bag seekers...posh handbag designer Devi Kroell has a handbag collection headed straight for Target. Ranging in prices from $20-$50, the collection will be released on July 15, alongside the spunky Libertine collection. Her bags are sleek, streamlined and cheap! Well, cheap compared to the prices of her self-titled collection (upwards of $200 for the tiniest clutch). I've got eyes for that bronze tote - step off!
"America's Next Top Model" winner, Jaslene Gonzalez, has really taken the judges' advice and toned down her drag queen-ness! The result is a beautiful, exotic model who can strut her stuff both on and off the catwalk. I love the navy blue button down jumper and nude pumps she's sporting at the Indy 500. The look is ultra simple, yet sizzles because of her honey skin and fierce personality!
Just in time for wedding season, De Beers has decided to peddle its diamonds online! The e-commerce store, which exclusively sells to the United States, allows De Beers to join its competitor Tiffany & Co. in cyberspace. Diamond jewelry is currently offered in ranges from $500 for a gold pendant to a $30,000 engagement ring, and prices will climb higher than $30,000 in the future. I will definitely be using this new web site to drool over all the engagement rings offered! I never seem to tire of doing that!
Childhood gal pals, Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief, were on the hunt for an ideal closet they felt like wearing every day. In July 2003, their wish came true with the launch of their successful clothing line, BA&SH. The duo always follows their instincts and desires when designing, and as a result, their pieces are anything but trendy. Instead, they convey romanticism, modernity and chicness. Barbara and Sharon use simple and unfussy fabrics like sheer cotton, cashmere and silk for their feminine dresses, trousers, jumpers and blouses. Although they don't currently have boutiques in the U.S., BA&SH stores can be found all over France and other parts of Europe.

A color combo for the more daring, I have always enjoyed pairing two of my favorite colors: red & purple. The deep, vibrant, blue-hued colors create a funky yet exotic synergy; I wear them with dark denim or black. This color combo was big on the runways of the Spring collections of both Prada and Gucci - can you dig it?
For the past few months, we have been bringing you all kinds of wedding coverage across the Sugar Network. Today we are kicking off "Wedding Weekend Week" which is about everything you need for the Big Day. Weddings take absurd amounts of planning beforehand and even on the big day itself, there's always plenty to do before the ceremony. No matter whether you're the bride or one of the bridesmaids, you have to go get your hair done, your makeup done, and who knows what else might come up along the way!
In the hours leading up to the ceremony itself, you'll need a nice comfortable outfit to get ready in. I'll start you off with these Keds Zero Maria Cornejo Peep Toe Ballet Flat, $59.95; they are fashionable but comfortable enough to get you to your last-minute errands on the run! And if you happen to be the bride, they come in the bridal colors - white and ivory!
Let's all go Fab Finding for a comfy pre-dressup outfit for the big day. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with big day comfy clothes.
Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

igottrouble's orange dream prom dress provides us with a perfect example of using a dress shape to flatter your body. This one makes her waist look tiny and accentuates her curves! The orange color is ravishing against her skin tone. The cut reminds me of a Roland Mouret dress from a couple of years ago, and I love the back detail. Gorgeous!
Here's what she has on:
Congrats to igottrouble!

Eva Longoria hosted the ALMA (American Latino Media Arts) Awards on Friday night and I can't even keep track of how many times she changed her outfit. I heard a rumor is was a total of fourteen times! Here are just a few of the changes she made. It's hard to choose, but I think my favorite is the strapless red and white mermaid style gown. Which was your favorite?
Have you noticed that French Connection has been doing a lot of color blocking lately? I'm not fond of many of their multi-colored dresses, but this French Connection Print Silk Tunic, $158, is striking my fancy. The combination of the colors - red, plum, royal purple, camel - is tres magnifique. And the puffy three-quarter bell sleeves are very old-school 40s. This dress-cum-tunic can be worn over skinny jeans, leggings, textured tights or with bare legs. A low ponytail, like the one on the model, would polish the look perfectly. Now that's what I call versatility!
I see there are some animal loving fashionistas out there! At least, that's what your Fab Finds this week say to me. And snakes! You like snakes! (Maybe not real snakes, but in the jewelry form, anyway). The first time I showed you all snakes, it wasn't received very well - but you all have proven otherwise this time!
The Fab Finder of the week is cocca, who found a fabulous snake-loving snakeskin cuff! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
