Sneak Peek! Ann Taylor, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days. The retailer adopted a more trend-conscious aesthetic and it recently hired Heidi Klum to be its cashmere model! I'm quite impressed by its Fall collection. There is a look for every girl and the styling has been executed flawlessly. Casual denim, puffer jackets, coats, and wow-worthy red dresses and skirts are all must haves. I'm thinking this Wool Bow Coat ($295) needs to come home with me. Proceed to shop my favorite looks.

A Fabby Halloween: Vogue Queen Bee, Anna Wintour

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Do you have the gall to be Vogue editor Anna Wintour for Halloween this year? Then you've got some major competition. Model Snejana Onopka, left, did a spot-on impersonation of Anna in Vogue Paris a while back. Let it be your guide. I first suggest watching The September Issue, you know, as field research. Next, it's imperative to have the following Anna signatures: a perfectly neat bob wig, some form of (faux) fur, dark sunglasses, and slingback sandals with a kitten heel. Also, carry the latest issue of Vogue, hunch over just a tad, and don't crack a smile. I know, it's tough being Anna, but well worth it.

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Celeb Style: Maria Sharapova

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Is there a look Maria Sharapova can't pull off? I think not. The tennis star showed up at a Tiffany event in NYC looking sassy and sophisticated at the same time. The print of her Chloé resort dress is roarworthy, while the loose cut is beyond chic. Further spicing her up are her Tiffany earrings, black ankle Cole Haan booties, and black-cuff bracelet. Another great ensemble, Maria!

March Shopping Madness! Country Cutie

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie. To fake this Midwest vibe, dig around for soft, floral prints and muted colors. Smaller florals - like VS model Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Pink corset floral dress - deliver the best country girl illusion. If dresses aren't your thing, pair a smocked top with some cut-off jean shorts for a more casual look.

Here's the most important part to getting this right: take another glance at the South African beauty. Did you notice how she paired her dress with kickass Alex Wang heels? That's how you do it. Contrast all of that country softness with a tough piece to give it a modern touch.

Celebrity Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Whitney stole the spotlight at a charity gala in New York last night. Her white-draped gown is a fresh take on holiday dressing; and the black sash is added drama. Her oversized green snakeskin clutch provided a vintage touch, while on the other hand a red watch kept her in check - do you think she was purposely mixing the traditional Christmas colors of red and green? Here she is with new friend Olivia from The City, also looking quite Fab.

Stellvo Long Gown - $348.00	Cotton Spandex Jersey Belt - $8.00
Mod Reptile Clutch - $24.80	Metallic Serpent Watch - $8.50
Corso Como - Greer (Black Vintage Calf) - $183.00	Gold-tone Multi Link Chain Bracelet - $35.00
Gorjana gold double strand 'Oval Tag' necklace - $63.00	Gold Stone Cluster Ring - $49.00

Trend Alert: Multifaceted

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

You are a complex creature, so why keep your jewelry simple? Multifaceted stones provide plenty of brilliance to necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Fab says: pile, it, on. Or, notice how quickly a complex bracelet like this one can jazz up a simple heather gray tee. Embrace your multifaceted tendencies.

The Look For Less: Marni Balloon Bag

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

The newest Marni bag is delicious, but this Marni Balloon Bag ($1,360) has been tempting me for months. I gaze at it longingly at least once a day. I can't refuse the shiny leather, functional strap, and rich brown and black . . . but my wallet makes me refuse the price. Tear(s).

It's no Marni, but this Ann Taylor Embossed Croco Handbag ($49) is as close as I'm going to get without spending a fortune. It has the same oval handles, brown color, and balloon shape. I don't love the stud detail, but for that price, I can't complain.
