Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

While I love Diane in high-octane fashion shoots, I love her equally on the street.

While I love Diane in high-octane fashion shoots, I love her equally on the street. Here she is smiling and running errands dressed down in jeans, boots, and bags. But let's dig deeper. Black and white stripes deliver a yummy nautical flavor, a shrunken light denim jacket feels fully familiar, a touch of icy lavender feminizes, and Balmain's black studded boots still make me swoon. A heather gray headband and A.P.C.'s Beads Bag ($210) are cool, casual touches.

The APC Mobile Power Pack

When FabSugar returned from fashion week, she not only shared runway stories but gadgetry goodies as well!

When FabSugar returned from fashion week, she not only shared runway stories but gadgetry goodies as well! Perfect for traveling and event-filled days, this UPB10 Mobile Power Pack by APC is lightweight, sleek and can charge up all your gadgets when you're on the go. With lithium polymer battery cells, you get a higher power density than traditional lithium ion cells for extra power output. This device can charge up gadgets by standard USB and by mini-USB, which I used for my pearl in the pic below. It's fashionable for Fab and functional for Geek, therefore I can't help but give it two thumbs up. Priced at $60 each.

Look of the Day: Falling Forward

Ah, Fall. It's not even August yet and I'm already starting to think about cooler weather clothing.

Ah, Fall. It's not even August yet and I'm already starting to think about cooler weather clothing. Well, it could be partially because the weather has been cool the past few days, and all the fashion magazines are already pushing Fall fashions...

Anyway, hebden is making me think even more about falling forward with her cute fitted red jacket and paperbag-waist skirt! All in good time, I guess.

Here's what she's wearing:

  • Shirt: American Apparel
  • Skirt: Isabel Marant
  • Jacket: APC
  • Shoes: Jones the Bootmaker

Congrats to hebden!

Everyone else, submit your looks today and I just might feature you on FabSugar! If you live overseas and have a fab outfit to share, join the Overseas Fashionistas Group and to submit a Look in this group learn how to post a blog.

Los Angeles fans of French casual chic rejoice - A.P.C.

Los Angeles fans of French casual chic rejoice - A.P.C. is coming to town! The French company is opening a 1,200-square-foot boutique on Croft Avenue, right off Melrose Place - only the second A.P.C. store in the United States (the first being in SoHo in New York). I am such an A.P.C. fan - Los Angeles residents, I am jealous!
