Trend Alert: Pin It

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

Move over studs, there's a new embellishment in town: safety pins. These pins have broken out of their sewing kits and into our wardrobe via sparkly earrings, printed tops, bracelets, and slick blazers. America Ferrera feels me. Her Moschino crepe dress would be a safe LBD if it weren't for that amazing safety pin embellishment - such a burst of fun! How punk would you be if you DIY'd your own safety pin creation? All you need is a lot of safety pins and a little imagination. So what are you waiting for? Pin it.

Trend Alert: Severe Spikes

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Ouch! Severe spikes are my latest accessory crush. They're a step above studded jewelry, and the dangerous daggers provide attitude for days. No doubt, these adornments aren't for the faint-hearted. Then again, doesn't every girl have one badass bone in her body? This Guess Rock Rolla Mesh Spike Bracelet looks like it costs a pretty penny, but it's actually only $35. I'll take it.

Glitterati: Freedom by Sabrina Azadi

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I'm all about giving my fancy pieces a casual, understated touch. For example, how rad is it to pair a shimmering waterfall necklace with a plain white tee? That's why I like Sabrina Azadi's jewels. The collection, named Freedom, embodies a beachy yet lavish aura. Stringing beauteous colored crystals on soft leather cords brings a whole new meaning to what she describes as "island style." Interesting fact: Sabrina's love for crystal doorknobs - she liked them so much, she wanted to hang one around her neck - was the inspiration behind her beachy keen jewelry line.

Does Heidi Klum's Decision to Discontinue Clover QVC Jewelry Line Admit Guilt?

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Heidi Klum doesn't seem like the type to back down from a fight, so it was news to us when we heard the Project Runway host discontinued her QVC jewelry line after being hit with a lawsuit from Van Cleef & Arpels accusing her of copying their trademark clover design. "They wanted to have the clover, even though our designs never matched . . . they just wanted to own the clover motif," said Klum. "So they went after everyone who does that - Louis Vuitton! -- they said 'We own the clover . . ." Interesting. Take a look at Klum's jewels and tell me, does discontinuing her jewelry line admit guilt?

Feast your eyes on Anna Sheffield's jewelry collab with Target. Like her namesake line, these baubles have funky, hip nuances minus the heavy price tag - sweet.

Sneak Peek! Target Accessories, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Back-to-school might be a couple months away, but Target's already gearing up for the upcoming season. For Fall '09 accessories, the retailer focused on texture and sleek embellishments such as suede shoes made in a rainbow of colors and clutches decorated with zany zippers. The collection isn't over the top, which I like, and the prices are right - ranging from $10 to $40. I already have the jeweled cuff and Wang-ish red clutch on my list, and I'm also smitten with this purple tube scarf. Definitely something to look forward to when the days get shorter and the nights get longer . . .
