Celebrity Style: Katy Perry

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Katy Perry has been working the Fashion Week circuit and now she's on to Paris for the chicest shows and most fabulous soirées. Sigh. Have you noticed she's stepped up her glamour factor? She still plays with color and accessories but she's a vision in this pink Galliano dress and long nubby gray cardigan. I love how it drapes off her shoulder, so Parisian nonchalant.

Pink Draped Shift Dresses by Tracy Reese - $320.00	Alice + Olivia Long Ruffle Cardigan Sweater - $385.00
L.A.M.B. Gem Platform Pump - $350.00	Martine satin party clutch - $98.00

Look of the Day: New Red Shoes

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Buying something new is such a rush. Doesn't it make you want to create an outfit with it right away? That's what dailythreads did with her new red shoes by Alice + Olivia. And what an ensemble she created. I love how the black sweater calms down the print skirt and bold booties.

Here's what she has on:

Top: Secondhand
Skirt: Necessary Objects
Shoes: Alice + Olivia
Watch: Secondhand Rolex

Congrats to dailythreads!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Fab's Favorite Payless Fall Designer Collection Pieces

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Payless's collaboration with various high-end designers like Lela Rose, Abaeté, and Alice + Olivia is nothing new, but what is new is its designer collection for Fall. You will mainly find footwear, with some handbags and sunglasses sprinkled in. Some items fall flat, but still, others, like these Alice + Olivia for Payless Back Zip Boots ($48), shine. Find out what other pieces from Payless's Fall designer collection made Fab's cut.

Trend Alert: Leather McLovin'

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I'm currently leather McLovin', and Shopbop and actress Malin Akerman (left) are on my wavelength. But I'm not just talking the obvious leather jacket, though that is a must-have Fall item as well.

The versatile material can be found on more than just outerwear. It's what takes a vest from preppy to rocker; a necklace from chic to killer; an LBD from sophisticated to smokin'. You get the picture.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Dress - $828.00	Juicy Couture Frozen Chain Leather Hoops - $58.00
Mike & Chris Dallas Leather Vest - $656.00	Cynthia Dugan Jewelry Open Hand Fairy Braided Leather Necklace - $128.00
Alice + Olivia Leather Mini Dress - $660.00	Alexander Wang Leather Vest - $796.00
LaROK Harmony Leather Fringe Dress - $318.00	Cynthia Dugan Jewelry Peace Braided Bracelet - $49.00
Diane von Furstenberg Adame Leather Skirt - $425.00

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers. Black platform sandals elevate the wearer, and the sparkling accessories further feminize. There's not a bit of bunny in this pulled-together look.

Alice + Olivia Alice + Olivia Women's Pleated Top with Skinny Black Patent Belt - $178.20	Anne Klein New York Wide Leg Pants - $225.00
Charles by Charles David Slinky Platform Sandal - $104.95	Catherine Michiels Sterling Silver Bead Bracelet - $110.00
Catherine Michiels Black Onyx & Sterling Silver Bracelet - $165.00	Jill Stuart Sophia Patent Clutch - $195.00
Sterling Silver 1/10-Ct T.w. Diamond Black Onyx Ring - $150.00	Twister Polished Earrings - $3.80

Who Wore It Better? Pink Polka Dot Alice + Olivia Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:00:22 -0700

It's teen week here at Fab, so get ready for bubblegum curls and polka dot Alice + Olivia dresses. This little number was worn by teeny boppers Miley Cyrus, at MTV's TRL, and Monique Coleman, at the Teen Choice Awards preparty. Funny how both girls wore fuchsia shoes with the bubble hem dress. My vote goes to Monique because she shows off the delicate neckline better; Miley's hair is distracting. Who looks cutest to you?

March Shopping Madness: Go Bold or Go Home

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Here's my new motto: Go bold or go home. Yes, dark clothing is cool, but Spring is a time of rebirth, so why not embrace the brighter side of life in bold and beautiful dresses? There's so many out there just waiting to be paraded around.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a good model for this notion because she doesn't turn her back on brights. At a recent event in Sydney, she was a vision in a pink Roberto Cavalli sweetheart dress. See, not only will you look good, you'll feel good too.

Trend Alert: Fancy Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

You know those days. Those days you just feel like throwing on a comfy tee, your favorite jeans and tried and true jewelry. That day is Sunday for me. But these days, Sundays can be a little more fanciful thanks to fancy tees. The Olsens have proven a Hanes V-neck can support a high fashion look, but a silk tee, a cool tee or a slightly ruched tee can do that too. It's fancy tee time.

Hayden Panettiere Loves Her Some Shoes

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:00:22 -0800

On the Heroes set, Hayden Panettiere spends most of her time in a cheerleading uniform, but what does she like to wear when it's up to her to choose? She sat down for the February Lucky cover and spilled on her favorite color - "bright, exotic, greenish blue," her favorite brands, and more, all while trying on every single pair of shoes on-set at the LA photoshoot. Love her cover look? Enter to win it here!

Here are the highlights:

On being a shoe girl: "I'm kind of obsessive about really stunning heels. I get excited even taking the elevator up to the shoe floor at Bergdorf's . . . I'm short, so I'm always on the hunt for cute shoes with a little extra height."
On her style: "Right now my style is very frenetic. It seriously changes as quickly as my mood. . . . I've only recently been able to try out a bunch of different styles without feeling like I'm dressing beyond my age."

On her brand preferences: "Cynthia Rowley designs ideal party dresses. They're just the right mix of girly, casual, and sophisticated. Alice + Olivia makes classic, well-tailored pieces with cool twists. . . . The new Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring cardigans are completely fun. I want to buy all of them."
