Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.

Helmut Lang Powder-Print Dress - $520.00	Apt. 9® Opaque Microfiber Control-Top Tights - $10.00
Steven By Steve Madden Women's Brinda Ankle Boot - $179.95	Jimmy Choo 'Ubai' Snake Embossed Leather Clutch - $595.00
Alexis Bittar 'Silver Dust' Lucite® Ring - $175.00

FabSugar Exclusive: Alexis Bittar Is Gossip Girl's Favorite Accessory Designer

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We caught up with Alexis Bittar at his Neiman Marcus trunk show recently. He's super dreamy, as you can tell from his photo (center). And so friendly, it was comfortable, like we'd met before. Read what he had to say about his biggest fans - Fab fave Cameron Diaz and the Gossip Girl stylists - as well as how he got his start.

What sparked your interest in jewelry?

I sold antique jewelry on the street [at the 26th Street flea market in Manhattan] for 15 years. I started working with Lucite, I just pounded it, started carving it. I actually don’t know how I put it all together in my brain, but I liked that you could sculpt it. It’s pretty cheap - in the beginning I had no money. It seemed like an experimental medium. And I like working with mediums that aren’t typical. When I first saw it, I loved it and I still love it. Guys like it, too; they’re into the science of it, they’re trying to figure it out. It took a long time - the beginning was a bit difficult, then certain key people used it, and it slowly took off. When the millennium happened there was thing of perceiving everything differently and it became the new.

See what else we discussed.

Fab Exclusive: Alexis Bittar Talks Jewelry as Weapons and Multiple Bling Personalities

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

I've always wanted to meet the man behind my favorite Alexis Bittar jewels - I finally had the pleasure to do so at his recent Neiman Marcus trunk show. Alexis filled us in on what's going on in his world right now. He's one busy bee; his San Francisco stay was for a mere 10 hours because he had to fly to Vancouver for an appearance at Holt Renfrew. He revealed his jewelry philosophy and discussed the dope spiked bracelet Alicia Keys wore recently . . .

What’s the latest and greatest goings on?

I just finished Spring, we showed at Paris Fashion Week. We showed at Tranoi, which is a show there. I designed three collections under Alexis Bittar, and three other collections for other designers. I did Alexis Bittar for Michael Kors, we did glass, it’s all clear. And I did Michael Angel, he’s kind of a younger designer. I met him through the girls at Vogue. In a week, doing Victoria’s Secret.

Hear more from Alexis Bittar.

I Want This Wardrobe: Jenny Humphrey

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:30:22 -0700

If there's one thing the new queen bee has it's attitude - and legs for days. Jenny Humphrey is staking claim on the school stairs in her rock-and-roll-meets-schoolgirl style. Leather, ruffles, fishnets, and a double shot of cheery red (peeps the luscious lips), make Jenny a Gossip Girl force to be reckoned with. It's safe to say she's fully embraced her power by now . . .

Trend Alert: Red Hot

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Is it just me or is it red hot in here? I'm not opposed to donning a LRD but I prefer to take the alternate route with red accessories. They're ultra sexy, ultra sassy, and not so in-your-face. I don't need to tell you why this Christian Louboutin Glittered Platform Pump ($775) is scorching hot. All I need to do now is tap my heels three times for all my fashion wishes to come true.

Trend Alert: Shine in Statement Earrings

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Instead of donning the per usual necklace this Summer, I suggest you take B's cue and shine in statement earrings. These in-your-face adornments look best alone and without distraction. Beyonce's resin and coral hoops from Alexis Bittar are amazing, but if they're too bling for your taste, check out my favorite style: chandelier earrings. Oh, I also like to wear my hair up with these beautiful baubles for supreme sass.

Fab's May Most Wanted

FabSugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:54:39 -0700

Though I will be blowing my life savings on Matthew Williamson's collection for H&M, there are a few other things I am lusting for. Top of mind is my surf trip to Costa Rica later this month, so you will find a dope pair of workout pants, some beachy items, and a hot little bikini. Alas, city life until then, so some sophisticated items are musts, too. Summer is so soon . . . can't wait!

I Love Your Shopstyle: In Honor of C-3PO

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 07:50:11 -0700

One might wonder how C3PO is related to fashion, but all you have to do is ask elizabethdarlington. This creative cat saw Christian Louboutin's new Robot booties and instantly thought of this funny Star Wars character. In honor of C-3PO, she put together a fantastic, futuristic ensemble - check it out!

Fab's April Most Wanted

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:00:22 -0700

I know what you're thinking: I can't believe it's already April. My friends, April is one of the best months! Spring has sprung, Summer is around the corner, you still have time to get in shape, and you have plenty of resources to assemble your warm-weather wardrobe. Sales are already sprouting and the sun is shining. What is there to complain about? Niente. My eyes are locking on optimistic goods, like these insanely fun Fendi strappy patent two-tone sandals ($615). Revel in it.
