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!

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Sequins are officially taking over the world. Rachel Bilson participated in the sparkly trend while promoting her upcoming movie Jumper. Her friend Kristen Bell also shined in her Elsie Katz Couture sequins strapless dress. What I love about Rachel's take on sequins is that it's tame and unique. She kept the look androgynous with stylish wide-leg black pants. Plus, it's nice to see R-Bils in something other than boots!

Trend Alert: Mirrors

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 07:00:22 -0800

You know what they say about mirrors, they being feng shui experts: mirrors ward off bad vibes. Hey, anything that wards of the bad guys and supplements my vanity is fabulous to me. But I'm not talking about mirrors for your dwelling, it's all about beautiful mirrored fashion goods over here. It's like taking a metallic and melting it so it becomes liquid shiny shiny. Did I mention with all the upcoming Christmas lights you will serve as a walking disco ball? Now that will ward off evil.

Celebrity Style: Amanda Bynes

The Hollywood Film Festival brought out a gaggle of famous stars last night. Actress Amanda Bynes stood out because of her youthful, slick style. Her Alice & Olivia tunic dress has just the right amount of sequins to make her shine but not blind the cameras. And need I even comment about those fringe Loubs? I think not; they leave me speechless!

Celebrity Style: Jaslene Gonzalez

"America's Next Top Model" winner, Jaslene Gonzalez, has really taken the judges' advice and toned down her drag queen-ness! The result is a beautiful, exotic model who can strut her stuff both on and off the catwalk. I love the navy blue button down jumper and nude pumps she's sporting at the Indy 500. The look is ultra simple, yet sizzles because of her honey skin and fierce personality!

I literally stopped everything I was just doing when I came across this Alice & Olivia Pailette Mini Dress, $300. It is absolutely one of the most adorable LBDs I have ever seen. I want to take it home with me so badly! It would be so fun at a black-tie wedding. What has made me fall in love? Why, the unique combo of the bubble skirt, large circle sequins and pockets of course!

Surprisingly Flattering Sweater Dresses

I used to think that sweater dresses were reserved for people with bodies like Kate Moss. But lately, I've seen women of all shapes and sizes wearing them and looking great, which makes me even more excited to incorporate sweater dresses into my wardrobe. This is a really cute look with skinny jeans, textured tights, or leggings. Here are some styles at designer and non-designer prices likely to flatter almost every figure.

Keds, Sequins, Alice + Olivia

Keds. What's not to like? Add sequins to the classic, and it's fashion gold. Alice + Olivia is teaming up with the iconic brand creating a fancier version of Keds’ classic Champion style. Available for $88 in four colors - black, silver, pale pink, and safari green - they will launch this Spring at select Neiman Marcus stores, neimanmarcus.com, as well as at Alice + Olivia boutiques and aliceandolivia.com.A+O founder Stacey Bendet explains: “I don’t think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid. I can’t even count how many pairs I had. We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion.” Super cute, enough said.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Alice + Olivia

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 07:00:22 -0700

Mother Nature works in mysterious ways and the downpour right before Alice + Olivia's Alice in Wonderland themed Spring show added to the mystique.

Located at their store, which they outfitted to comply with the whimsical and trippy story of Alice, I found myself falling down the rabbit hole while viewing colorful party dresses, high waisted pants and shorts, bold patterns, frilly sleeves and an overall fun and fantastical collection. There were casual pieces too, like light blue denim and laid back tailored jackets.

But the real treats, aside from a hippie lux sheer blouse with patchwork beaded front, were the yellow and black edible treats. From cupcakes beckoning "Eat Me" to absinthe, I managed to squeeze in the ultimate fashionable snack. I'd like Hayden Panettiere, a big fan of Alice + Olivia, to know that she missed out!
