Fab Read: American Fashion Accessories

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

As the executive fashion director of Style.com, it's safe to say Candy Pratts Price knows a thing or two about accessories. Lucky for us, she's decided to put her years of expertise in one beautiful book, American Fashion Accessories ($32). This Assouline edition is filled with beautiful images of accessories, many of which were created from members of the CFDA.

Photos date from the early 1900s and range from witty Hollywood hats to Madonna’s rubber bracelets. It's more than a look book, it's pop history!

For a sneak peek inside the book, read more.

Penelope, Brad, and Michelle O Make Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:12:52 -0700

Vanity Fair's 2009 International Best-Dressed list has been released, and it includes actors, models, designers, politicians, royalty, and socialites. The ones who made the cut need not have one particular fashion forte - they only need perennial style. Representing Hollywood are red-carpet queens Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Reneé Zellweger, Kelly Ripa, and Alicia Keys. Angelina Jolie didn't make the list but her man Brad Pitt did. And rightfully so! Our favorite Power Couple Natalia Vodianova and her hubby Justin Portman made it on as a couple, while Rachel Roy and Tory Burch got on solo.

See some others who made the list.
