Trend Alert: Luggin' It

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

After attending Burberry Prorsum's magnificent show, the multi-talented Gwyneth Paltrow attended the afterparty showing off her all-Burberry, all-bodacious 'fit. While I can swoon for hours about her warped baby blue skirt, I'm going to focus on her tough shoes. They're the perfect example of fashion meets function. Luggin' it in lug soled shoes will not only keep your toes cozy, it'll also prevent you from slipping in the rain, sleet, or snow. Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it.

Burberry Prorsum, Live From London Fashion Week

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:00:08 -0700

As New York Fashion Week draws to a close for us at FabSugar US, our friends from across the pond at FabSugar UK are gearing up for London Fashion Week, which starts today and goes until Sept. 22. Sure to be one of the highlights of LFW is the Burberry Prorsum show, which will be held in London instead of Milan, where it is typically held. The British brand is doing this to celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week. Luckily, since we won't be in attendance, the show will be streamed live online for the rest of the world to see.

All you have to do is go to live.burberry.com at 6:30 p.m. BST on Sept. 22 to get front-row access. Plaid not your thing? Then make sure to check out Alexander McQueen's show as he does the same thing during Paris Fashion Week.

Who Was Most Fab at Burberry's NYC Soiree?

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:00:22 -0700

In celebration of its new NY headquarters, Burberry lit the cityscape with bright lights and a fashionable soiree filled with bubbly and a guest list PR people would kill for. There were a ton of looks to choose from, but I narrowed it down to five. Lily Donaldson showed off her stems in a white chiffon minidress; Alexa Chung styled her printed sheath with a belt and blazer; Leigh Lezark looked sexy stealth in a ruched eggplant frock and sharp heels; Claire Danes accessorized her gray dress with bold adornments; and Blake Lively looked cunning in a loose blazer and mini. All Burberry, all beautiful. Divulge: which Bailey supporter do you prefer?

Dress Me Up: The Sexy Librarian

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:00:22 -0700

I can never tire of the sexy librarian look. Is it the soft long cardigans? Or maybe it's the notion that you don't have to show a lot of skin to look sexy. Whatever it is, this look paired with some high heels, a la Burberry Prorsum's Resort collection, seems to do the trick. Note how soft fabrics and high heels keep you from looking frumpy, and yes, socks are optional!

Graham & Spencer Silk Habotai Dress - $307.00	Michael Stars Women's Long Sleeve Long Cardigan - $69.00
Textured trouser socks - $7.50	Moschino Cheap & Chic Bow Detail Sandal - $558.00

Behind the Seams: Nordstrom Fall 2008 Designer Preview

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Seeing runway photos is not nearly as enticing as seeing the clothes live, and Nordstrom's Designer Preview 2008 reiterated that fact. For example, Bill Blass's gray/black tulle-bodice strapless dress - you know, the one Anne Hathaway wore at the Get Smart premiere - literally came to life before my eyes on the catwalk. While I admired it on Anne, I fell madly in love with it that night because I saw the way the bottom half of the dress danced as the model pranced down the runway. Donna Karan, Stella McCartney, Derek Lam, Missoni, Valentino, Michael Kors, Peter Som, Burberry Prorsum, Vera Wang, and Versace also each showed about a dozen Fall looks.

The night was centered around the runway, but the pre- and postparty was also a blast. Clothes hanging on tall racks gave guests, including myself, the chance to get up close and personal with their catwalk faves, while champagne and hors d'oeuvres kept us satiated. Oh, and I got to meet the ultimate San Francisco socialite, Joy Bianchi!

Trend Alert: Berry Mix

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

It's time to shake up your smoothie with a berry mix. If you don't like raspberries, try a blueberry or strawberry, and if you're scared of getting seeds stuck in your teeth, give grape a try. These sweet concoctions come in shades of glory and complement every skin tone. You don't have to go head to toe like Burberry Prorsum's hot pink number (left) but I had to feature its fabulousness anyway.

Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Burberry Prorsum

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 04:00:22 -0800

Three things to take away from Burberry Prorsum's Fall '08 collection: dramatic coats, statement necklaces and knit beanies. The talented Christopher Bailey yet again injected a kick of cool to the once-conservative brand, and also showed serious frocks and metallic pants. The overall vibe was sophisticated grunge, with moody hues like taupe, grey, and midnight blue. Sticking with the edgy Burberry vibe, studded bags and bracelets complemented the clothes. Minus the silly beanies and oversized coats, I'd rock (and roll) all the pieces in this collection.

From Project Runway to Real Runway

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:00:22 -0800

He is quite the little ego maniac, but Project Runway's Christian may be onto something. In this week's episode, he used Reese's wrappers to make a texturized dress; one that made me think it was straight off the real-life runway. Lo and behold, I wasn't too far off. This Burberry Prorsum Rosette embroidered dress ($4,295) looks remarkably similar - and it was in fact, a part of the Burberry runway collection. I'm kind of loving that you can get a costly runway look with a few thousand candy wrappers. But also, is a textured look like this wearable?

Fab Finds of the Week: Rainbow Bright

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 05:00:22 -0800

Just because the sky is dreary and gray doesn't mean our outfits need to be. A little punch of color in an ensemble can do wonders to prevent the onset of some horrible seasonal affective disorder. I'm proud to say that this week, your Fab Finds ooze red, blue, chartreuse, teal, fuchsia, orange, purple, and yellow: a veritable Fall rainbow.

The Fab Finder of the week is htiduj, who found these beautiful leather gloves. Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
