Fab Finding Follow-Up: New Job, New Wardrobe

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

It's been a while since I heard any news about someone starting a brand spanking new job. Looks like the world is turning. A friend of mine recently started a new sales position which requires her to travel between LA and Seattle - very different climates. She's in dire need of some great airport-to-the-office outfit inspiration, so I asked you to lend her a hand.

I started you off with this ABS Light Grey Boyfriend Blazer ($295). It's crisper than a black blazer and can be thrown over anything. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, is smartly layered. The wrap cardigan will surely keep my friend cozy during flight.

Look #2, created by Sarahab145, is filled with feline intentions. You know how much I love animal prints.

Look #3, created by Zivanod, has a polished rocker vibe. The snake print booties are dope.

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Sienna Miller stood out amongst major fashion heads last night at the NYC premiere of The September Issue wearing an icy-blue confection by Thakoon. I love how the ruched strapless bodice and short hemline emotes major flirt factor. For extra panache, the cover star wore gold Jimmy Choo sandals, chandelier earrings, clear Lennon-esque sunnies, and a fancy Bottega Veneta woven clutch. No doubt, Sienna's on fire with her recent red-carpet creations.

Trend Alert: A Tribe Called Kate

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Rarely do we see Lady Kate in prints, but isn't it her multifarious style we all know and love? Affirmative. Her vintage-looking printed turtleneck is a testament to a tribe called Kate. While this top may look Marcia Brady on the hanger, make it a focal point by sexing it up and cooling it down with denim shorties and Prada sunnies. Vivid prints stand on their own, so keep the rest mellow. Risk taking at its best, live a little fashion folks.

Trend Alert: Puff Party

FabSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 02:00:08 -0700

Join the puff party! Not to be confused with the '80s bubble hem, the puff is all about creating contrasting volume. This is an ideal party look. To avoid looking like a puff pastry, make sure the puff starts high on the hip and the top is fitted and structured. See Miu Miu's delectable short and puffy concoction (left) - love!

Party On Party Dresses: Showstopping Maxis

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:00:22 -0800

Many actresses showed up at the SAG Awards in floor-length gowns, but America Ferrera stood out in her dark-green plunging number. If you're going to a fancy event this New Years, follow America and don a Showstopping Maxi.

Long dresses are ideal for tall gals, but petite girls can pull it off with some high heels. Since you'll be covered with so much material, keep the accessories simple - a delicate necklace and a fun clutch will suffice. Now you're ready to stop the show!

Trend Alert: A Sheath Rainbow

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

Like men, sheaths come in all shapes, sizes and colors. For both of these diverse groups of offerings, I am thankful. Getting my mind out of the gutter, a sheath is a must-have for any wardrobe. With an array of shapes, sizes and colors (men), there are so many to choose from (men). This Fall sophistication is key, and a sheath unlocks the door. And finally, you can never have too many to choose from (men!).

The Look For Less: ABS Charmeuse Red Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 08:02:22 -0700

The floral trend has been blooming for some time now and this ABS by Allen Schwartz Charmeuse red dress, $300, is a fab favorite. It may look familiar, as it reminded us of Nicole Kidman's red Balenciaga Oscars gown - remember? Although compared to many frocks out there right now it's not that expensive, it is still pretty pricey for something you'll probably only wear once or twice. Let's face it: with something this red and eye-catching, you don't want to be caught wearing it at every soiree.

This Bebe Silk Mesh Bubble Dress, $140, is nearly identical to the dress above. It has the bubble hem and the flowers at the nape of the neck, though they're not as prominent. It's not that much cheaper, but when you're working hard for the money, every penny counts!

Trend Alert: Satin

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 13:44:44 -0700

If you are over metallics, satin is a toned-down alternative. With roots in the glamor girls of the 40s, the fluid and rich fabric is a favorite for evening. But with today's satiny options you can wear it 'round the clock. I love it in jewel tones in particular, see Prada S/S '07; when you have a deep plum, cranberry or Spring green satin the color is intensified. Mmmm, if fabric were edible I think satin would taste delightful! I suggest sticking to a simple silhouette and skip the frills and ruffles - today's satin is best in a minimal setting. Here are my picks.

ABS Satin Mini Dress, $230.

Celebrity Style: Lindsay Lohan

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:14:33 -0700

Tsk-tsk LL cool girl. You're back in your party clothes and hopefully staying back on the wagon...time will tell. I think this bronze metallic dress would look much better if she was sporting her signature red hair, which is the look you and I both prefer for LL. Nonetheless, she sure makes the party life look fun!
