Trend Alert: Big Blooms

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

It's time to scout your holiday dress of the season, and how can you resist the sweet smell of big blooms? Leighton sparkled in this blue, brush-painted rose silk bow front dress with patent belt by Prabal Gurung. If feminine and frilly is your thing, this is your lucky season. Oversize rosettes and flower motifs are not only in style, but quite classic, endlessly pretty. I say go dramatic or go home; I'm sure Leighton would second my emotion.

Celeb Style: Katie Cassidy

Katie Cassidy attended the Judith Leiber boutique opening in LA dressed to the nines in a draped, teal one-shoulder dress and patent sandals. The dress would have looked amazing alone, but notice how the actress took it up a notch by accessorizing with a black belt, dazzling gold earrings, and a gold-beaded Judith Leiber clutch. A fashionphile in the making? I think so . . .

BCBGMAXAZRIA One Shoulder Draped Dress - $148.00	Cole Haan black patent trim leather wide belt - $90.00
Judith Leiber Slender Curved Clutch - $1,595.00	Juicy Couture Filigree Teardrop Earring in Gold - $68.00

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: BCBG Max Azria

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:00:08 -0700

For BCBG Spring '10, Max Azria sent his models down the runway in a bevy of embellished, printed, and ruched frocks. Shoulders bordered on the sharp side, oozing a modern edge, while vibrant hues of coral, blue, and purple provided sensational sensory overload. Also, note how Azria experimented with hemlines, supplying us with short minis, funky hemlines, and floor-sweeping maxis - something for everyone. My favorite piece? This to-die mesh flesh coral creation. The juicy hue and intricate detailing are magnificent.

To tone down the sexy, Azria also made fluid jersey dresses and tempered short hemlines with high necklines. And while most ruching can look overly done, the designer added a tailored edge for maximum sophistication.

Celebstyle Smarts

Cocktail dresses were the focal point for celebs this week. Whether it was a movie promotion or party, they all shined in a vivacious variety of perfectly sleek frocks. Rumer's crinkled Karen Millen metallic dress was my fave, but Rachel's dark raspberry BCBG Max Azria minidress came in a close second. Time to test your Celeb Style skills!

Let's take a break from Sienna Miller's amazing G.I. Joe looks and shift over to her cohort, Rachel Nichols. The actress emits pure sass in her dark raspberry BCBG Max Azria minidress and light gray pumps - check out those long stems!

Trend Alert: The Graduated Cone

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:50:11 -0700

There are many reasons why I'm smitten with Sienna Miller's Isabel Marant Fall 'fit.. Her ruched print dress is ultra rad and I can't take my eyes off those studded booties - hotness. Take note of the artistic graduated cone heel. This frame takes on a more triangular shape compared to regular cone heels. Less cylindrical, more severe, and way more sexy. I like it.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Georgina Sparks

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Reformed bad girl Georgina Sparks reappears on tonight's episode of Gossip Girl, sporting a devilishly prim-girl getup. Since it can still be cold in NYC, Georgina layers on a maroon coat by Nanette Lepore, black tights, dusty pink scarf, and matching pink headband. Ferocious Christian Louboutin pumps, leather gloves, and textured tote complete her agenda.

Celebrity Style: Katy Perry

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Katy Perry showed off her demure side in NYC wearing a preppy tweed coat, black studded bowed flats, and a bejeweled headband. It's an unexpected look compared to her usual off-kilter ensembles, and we like it. However, the singer did manage to sneak a whimsical touch into her Upper East side outfit with a cute teddy bear bag - kitschy bag alert! Simply adorable.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Forest Plaid Tweed Coat ($244, originally $448)	Jeffrey Campbell Haley Flat ($95)
Black Teddy Bear Purse ($2)	Charlotte Ronson Flare Corset Dress ($367)
Tasha Netted Jewel Headband ($38)	Star Earrings ($23)

Fab Finger Discount: BCBG Max Azria Spring Bubble Skirt

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:00:22 -0700

I'm not normally a fan of bubble hems, but in fashion, there are always exceptions. This BCBG Max Azria Spring Bubble Skirt ($48, originally $128) is one of them. It's superior to all the other bubble skirts because the draping makes it less cheesy, more chic. Plus, the white color is fresh for now through Summer. Pairing it with a simple tank or tee would do; the skirt is charming and should be center of attention.

March Shopping Madness! Blue Lagoon

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Unleash your inner adolescence this Spring with colors from the blue lagoon. These ocean-inspired hues give off the perfect breezy, carefree vibe. Kristen Bell knows what's up. Check her out looking like a modern-day mermaid in a tiered Carlos Miele frock. There's a ton of hues to choose from so dabble around. Personally, I'm a turquoise gal, but cobalt blue comes in as a close second.
