Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Trend Alert: Cat Print Minis

Sigh, I will never tire of Miranda Kerr's cuteness. In addition to being one of Victoria's Secret's top models, the natural beauty is also a master at casual cool styling. While running errands in her native hometown of Sydney, Australia, she cranked up the fashion factor by pairing a blazer and tee with a vivacious cat print mini. Genius. These savage minis - whether lush leopard, cheetah, or tiger prints - add the ideal dose of animal instinct, and look best paired with loose casual tops. Just look at Miranda for inspiration; you know I will.

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled. Dramatic much? But doesn't it make you want to do the pleat?

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Naranja

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:56:05 -0700

Though I don't have a lot of it in my closet (do any of us?), I quite enjoy naranja, aka orange. It's optimistic, energizing, youthful - it is FitSugar's color, after all. Amongst all the white, neutrals, and grays of Spring, orange stood out to me at once. Red is Fall's favorite fiery hue, so it's no surprise its tangy sister has stepped in for Spring. Diane von Furstenberg didn't hold back - Chanel Iman is double layered in orange goodness. In need of a new outlook on life? Nibble on some naranja.

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:00:08 -0700

The season premiere of Gossip Girl had Blair Waldorf emoting Upper East Side sass in an ensemble that only a true fashionphile can appreciate. While stalking the NYC streets with the always dapper Chuck Bass, the high school graduate wore a decadent brocade dress with a chunky gold chain bracelet. She added a youthful touch by accessorizing with a funky L.A.M.B. clutch and lace-up spectator booties. What a perfect mixture of sophistication and sass - so Blair, so beautiful. Don't forget to take our fun Gossip Girl quiz, too!

10 Reasons to Love DVF Spring '10

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:00:22 -0700

I have to admit: I kinda always love DVF's Spring collections more than her Fall ones. The woman knows how to warm-weather dress like no other. This was evident in her exotic-fused collection. I'm sure the famous front row of Blake Lively, Mariska Hargitay, Peaches Geldof, Shenae Grimes, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Rachel Zoe were envisioning her goods on a tropical getaway. That makes one more of us. It's a tough job, but I narrowed her Spring collection down to 10 Fab looks. From beaded frocks to asymmetrical vivid prints to a sleek black and white graphic one-piece, DVF's got island fever.

12 Gutsy Leggings

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:00:08 -0700

We brought you 10 crazy funky jeans, so it's only fair that we give leggings the same treatment. This one's for all you bold girls. It takes a certain personality to pull off gutsy leggings, but if you're the daring type, revel in the endless supply of sequin, lace, tie-dye, and stud-embellished offerings. I was appalled by some of these at first glance, but then again, I can see such radical styles - like this Diane von Furstenberg Animal Print Legging ($115) - tempered with tailored coats and simple tees. Flip through to see my fine selection of gutsy legwear.

Let the Madness Begin! Designers Prep For New York Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

While I physically and mentally prepare myself for New York Fashion Week, designers are hard at work putting finishing touches on their creations. I can't wait to meet the clothes in person, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek of what's going on in the design studios as we speak. Some are in a frenzy - Betsey Johnson even prays to the fashion gods - while others like Jason Wu (left) are more calm. Drop by Donna Karan, Rachel Roy, Adam Lippes, Zac Posen, and more to see what they're up to.

Fab's September Most Wanted

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

You know Fab's in a Fall state of mind when my most wanted go from neon and skin-baring to jewel-toned and cozy. Though I will be holding off on wearing tights for as long as possible, I already have my sights set on some slouchy boots, amazing bags, festive jewelry, and sexy separates. Whether you're going back to cool or back to the grind, do so in fabulous style.
