Look of the Day: Beige Hearts Brown

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 06:00:22 -0800

A sandstorm hit the Golden Globes red carpet and now it's attacked neonbee. What I'd like to point out here is that beige hearts brown. Beige, being a neutral color, needs a rich hue like brown to plush it up. And I love how she belted her wrap cardigan for added interest. Smart thinking!

Here's what she has on:

Cardigan: Gap
Dress: From Hong Kong
Tights: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Steve Madden

Congrats to neonbee!

Dress Me Up: Full of Fall

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:00:08 -0800

Donna Karan's Fall collection is the epitome of Autumn. Warm browns, vivid rust, olive green, terra cotta, mustard, and burgundy were the plush colors the designer used to spice up her line. Now is the perfect time to draw inspiration from it and fill our closets with similar pieces. You can even get inspired from the changing colors of the leaves outside. Stick to one or two colors at most. I've found that gray tights are the perfect accent to any autumnal color. If you're still frazzled, study the Fall collections, see my suggestions below, and be full of Fall.

Look of the Day: Brown Sugar

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I don't have a lot of brown in my closet, so it impresses me when someone pulls the color off right. Jezrel chose head-to-toe brown for a tea party she recently attended. Say, doesn't she look as sweet as brown sugar? What really solidifies the look is her generous use of gold accessories. Brown and gold: a match made in fashion heaven.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Unknown
Belt: Joseph of London
Shoes: Rene Caovilla
Bag: Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo

Congrats to jezrel!

Celebrity Style: Gabrielle Union

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 13:10:22 -0700

The Lucky Magazine party brought out a lot of stylish actresses, including Gabrielle Union, clad in a rich sequined Foley + Corinna dress (the soiree was dually for the launch of the label's resort collection). The chocolate brown and the fun sequin pattern really flatters her flawless skin. What a cutie!

The Outnet's Got Some Competition - Browns Labels for Less

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

TheOutnet.com has some stiff competition coming its way. London's Browns boutique just launched its version of discount shopping with a subsite called LabelsforLess. The name says it all: the new site stocks an abundance of designer clothes and accessories - from Christian Louboutin, Marni, and Donna Karan - marked up to 70 percent off. Sweet. If I had the extra cash, I would jump on these rad Dries Van Noten Print Pumps ($339, originally $561), but they're still too rich for my blood.

Marni Kim Gordon Print Balloon Bag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:00:11 -0800

Who can forget rad rockster Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth? We all know she's a musical prodigy, but did you know she's also a talented artist? Marni did. That's why the brand collaborated with Kim to create this exclusive Marni Kim Gordon Print Balloon Bag ($1,000). I love the balloon shape; in fact, I own a patent brown version and wear it almost every day. Money aside, would you wear this artsy bag?

This Week's Fab Favorite: Angie Harmon

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

You know when you can tell a woman is enjoying her frock? Here's when. Angie is the sight of maxi dress perfection at the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Balli in LA in this sheer green printed and belted Kaufman Franco dress. The print and fit are stellar, but the wraparound, crisscross brown belt takes it to a more interesting place. Angie always manages to look good, no - great, but this maxi fits her personality as well - unique, fun, and party ready. She could have stopped with the exotic dress, but she added further flair with disc chandelier earrings. It's official: statement earrings are redivivus.

Stewart + Brown has everything a budding stylista needs to kick start her Spring wardrobe: feminine shorts, flirty crochet frocks, and fantastic colors. And guess what? It's all eco-friendly! See, it doesn't have to be Earth Day for designers Karen Stewart and Howard Brown to change their ways. Since 2002, the two have been creating an undeniably cunning collection of clothes without damaging the Earth. Cool. I'm loving the duo's offerings of streamlined girliness - check out my favorite look.

Cheap and Chic: Brown Belt Obsessed

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Who all is checking out No Doubt's reunion tour this Summer?! I am, for sure. I saw them years ago but remember it being epic; Gwen is such a great frontwoman and the band really rocks the house. Here she is swaggering along in LA looking pirate-esque. The key accessory that makes her look - aside from the coral L.A.M.B bag - is her low slung brown belt. I already felt a brown belt obsession coming on and now it's full-fledged. Gwen's still got it!
