The trends for Fall are starting to reveal themselves and one thing is for sure: It's all about sleeves. Drama has taken form on the arms, where designers are offering cropped, voluminous, lantern, folded and everything in between. Some of these are fun for day and some, like the intricate ones at Marchesa (left), are ideal for night. Day and night, night and day, it's all about sleeves!
With all of the craziness of New York Fashion Week, it's easy to overlook all of the great things about New York City. To get my mind off of fashion for a bit, I told you I wanted to carve out some time to see a Broadway show.
I started you off with this Banana Republic Bib Necklace ($58) because it can jazz up any outfit, and the color is perfect for February. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look # 1, created by mcollazo will make me very French, very chic. I'd rock the beret like a true Parisian!

On last night's Project Runway the designers were charged with creating wardrobes for the dazzling divas of WWE. Some of the designers were definitely out of their element, namely Sweet P (when isn't she?), Ricky, and Rami, while others were more than prepared to rise to the challenge. I wasn't surprised that Chris did well, what with his costuming background and all, but Christian's look rocked, too. In fact, he called it one of his fiercest looks this season. Which got me wondering, do you agree? Which Christian outfit is the most fierce?

In celebration of Chinese New Year, designer Vivienne Tam outfitted Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Disneyland Hong Kong. Dressing the iconic duo was an attempt to bring in Chinese tourists to the theme park, but what excites us is the capsule collection she created for her signature line. There will be nine pieces in the collection, similar to what Milagros Schmoll is wearing on the left. Cartoon characters have never been so chic.

Fab reader syako took it upon herself to start a brand new group that all celeb-loving ladies will quickly become addicted to. Thanks darling!
With the Looks Inspired by Celebrity group, you can now get inspired to copy celebrity looks and post them for all of Sugarland to see. Syako has already posted a bunch, like the Chloë Sevigny-inspired look on the left and FabSugar-inspired one. Aww! So grab a camera, snap your celebrity-inspired looks, and post away. I'm looking forward to it . . .
It's been ages since I featured Jennifer Lopez on Celebrity Style. That's probably because she's been in pregnancy hibernation. The stunning singer stepped out for Marchesa's Fall '08 show in a Notte by Marchesa trapeze dress. It's not a pregnancy dress but Jennifer rocks it out despite her full-blown belly. What I love most about her look is how instead of pairing girlie heels with her feminine dress, she opted for something a little rough and tough to create a fashion contradiction. Brilliant!
Designers, and their followers (ahem) can't get enough of embellishments, i.e. mirrors, beading, embroidery and sequins. Beautiful in both the Winter and Summer, something subtly sparkly is the proper choice for a date night, a cocktail part-tay or if you just want to feel pretty. Ali Larter knows how to dazzle in her beige subtle sparkler. Because the aforementioned embellishments tend to be around the neckline and front of dresses, I suggest a lovely updo, as not to distract from the subtle sparkles. Again, Ali, nice work.
When Phillip Lim is inspired by David Bowie's character The Man Who Fell to Earth and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, the resulting collection is full of sheer fabrics, satin, Swarovski crystals dotted here and there, and even a little glam gold.
The hems are much more modest on this Lim collection than they have been in the past: the skirts and dresses all hit right at knee-length, if not below. The matronly feel was carried through with long, loose granny cardigans. But Phillip kept his label's cohesiveness, focusing on solid, classic pieces with a contemporary flair. Pants were cropped, jackets boxy, jewelry Marni-esque. And the palette was typically neutral, interrupted by punches of Fall-worthy turquoise or burnt orange.
I can't say this is my favorite Lim outing, but here's to hoping he will refine the pieces before they hit the racks!
