Sneak Peek! Anthropologie, Fall '09

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Anthropologie's November catalog is a surefire way to get in the holiday spirit. British model Jacquetta Wheeler - dressed in everything from pretty lace to cozy sweaters - is seen frolicking in (faux) snow. It's all so romantic. I can't help but be consumed by the impressive styling, and I'm sure CasaSugar is mesmerized by the rustic scene. Granted, not everyone wears shorts in the snow, but I adore Jacquetta's outfit here; a little checkers, a little wool, equals a lot of charm. Experience it for yourself.

Sneak Peek! Mise en Scene by Ruffian at Anthropologie

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Not too long after we announced Ruffian was designing a collection for Anthropologie, the fruits of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais's labor are here to devour. Deemed Mise en Scene, literally meaning "put in the scene," the line is broodingly romantic, powerful and subtle at the same time. The outerwear is especially handsome, as is this Jacquard Gala Dress ($228) on the right. Prices range from $38 for tights up to $348 for a coat. There are also a few candles, the brand's book Ruffian: Inside Out, as well as wine, water, martini, and champagne glasses.

Fab Finger Discount: Anthropologie Early Blue Chemise

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Sometimes a dress has a great print, sometimes it has a smashing shape, but it's not often you find one that has both and is affordable. This Anthropologie Early Blue Chemise ($30, originally $58) is it. The indigo and violent bud print is darling and the yellow background makes it even sweeter. But what I'm most drawn by is the shape - the asymmetrical bodice, the draped neckline, the cinched waist. I envision it coming further to life with a pair of cozy gray tights and smart oxfords.

Trend Alert: Warm Woolen Shorts

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Move over miniskirts, there's a new leg-baring style in town: warm woolen shorts. They're on the top of my Winter styling list once the weather cools down because of their tomboyish, yet flirty, appeal. Paired with tights, these cozy shorts will keep you looking stylishly warm all season long. I'm going to pair mine with a chambray top and oxfords when I'm feeling quirky, and with booties and a chiffon top for a romantic vibe.

A Fabby Halloween: The Flintstones

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

The Flintstones would be so proud to see how their Stone Age fashions have influenced some of fashion's best. Peep Jeremy Scott's Spring '10 collection to see what I'm talking about. The quirky designer featured an awe-inspiring line based off the hit '60s cartoon complete with bone barrettes, bright colors, and animal prints. No doubt, Wilma and Betty would be super stoked to wear his kitschy confections. Thankfully, you don't have to buy designer to achieve the Flintstones' archaic look. Seek animal prints, faux-fur vests, and natural chunky jewelry for sexy Stone Age appeal - Wilmaaaaa!

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:30:22 -0700

Ruffian designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais are taking their ladylike fashions mainstream with a freshly inked four-collection collaboration with Anthropologie. “There’s really something special and so accessible and beautiful about it [the collection],” said Wendy Wurtzburger, from Anthropologie. "They’re so great at creating magic and mystery.”

The collection, dubbed Mise en Scene, meaning “the complete aesthetic, or the gestalt,” says Wolk, will launch in November. Look forward to camel coats, silk dress, one-of-a-kind prints, hosiery, and even some housewares - Casa, you listening?

Trend Alert: Vintage Modern Jewels

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Vintage modern jewels might sound like an oxymoron but let me explain. This new crop of adornments are all about emoting a throwback vibe with a contemporary, funky twist. The best thing? They look like they cost a million dollars, but really, they don't . . .

Online Sale Alert! Summer Sale at Anthropologie

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:50:22 -0700

A recent photo shoot inspired me to show off my colorful side. Since Fall is just around the corner, I figure there's no time like the present. After perusing Anthropologie's Summer sale – a bunch of goodies are marked up to 50 percent off - I found this fresh Painters Day Mini, ($70, originally $129) by Corey Lynn Calter. I like how the brushstroke pattern alludes a groovy, artistic vibe. Shop fast, sizes and quantity are limited!

Trend Alert: The TTD

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

My daily routine of perusing Net-A-Porter led me to something so simplistically new: the TTD, also known as the top tunic dress. However, I must give credit to Roland Mouret for this genius idea. The TTD is pretty much three pieces in one: a top when tucked into pants, a tunic paired with leggings, and a dress - rad. When shopping for TTDs, make sure to look for sleek shapes and solid colors for maximum versatility and always accessorize with tough elements. Three in one? It doesn't get better than that, folks.
