Trend Alert: Cozy Sweater Coats

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Living in SF, I'm about all about layering. That's where cozy sweater coats come in handy. The recent influx of Aztec, Nordic, and Navajo prints have me in a fashion tizzy - I think I need one of each. Solid neutral and jewel toned hues are also available for those who prefer more polish. Here's a Fab tip: wrap it up with a belt for a chic, cinched look. Wouldn't this Silence & Noise Intarsia Cardigan ($68) be a great gift for a dear BFF? Time to bundle up!

Celeb Style: Becki Newton

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

I'm sorry, but Becki is a fox. I sure wouldn't mind seeing her around more often. Especially if she's taking the plunge and wearing Fall's hottest boot: the over the knee. And she wears them exactly right. Stretchy black leggings, a sharp blazer by The Row, and a taupe tank, are subtle and sharp. A red bag reminds she's bold, not blah. Mixed-metal chain bracelets add the perfect amount of sparkle. Foxy lady.

Alice + Olivia - $396.00	A.ok Grey Big Pocket Tank - $44.00
Plan B black stretch stirrup leggings - $41.00	Dolce Vita Suede Over-The-Knee Boot - $178.00

15 Hot Over-the-Knee Boots You Need Now!

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

My new favorite kind of boot is the over-the-knee. I look forward to chilly weather so that I can bust them out and spice my legs up with them. But here's the thing: the right pair can make you look chic, the wrong, not so. You'll know when looking at it which category it falls in. I already own a black leather flat one, but would love to add a luxurious suede heeled style to my collection. During my hunt, I came across dozens of unique boots that I would make mine, wallet permitting. And these Stella McCartney Thigh-High Faux Leather Boots ($1,385), which the designer herself owns, are the over-the-knee Holy Grail. More than boots, they're like buying a pair of hot leather legs!

Celeb Style: Jessica Szohr

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:30:22 -0700

Jessica Szohr's Gossip Girl style tends to run on the bohemian side, but offset, the actress likes to play it cool in fresh, casual wear. While hanging out with beau Ed Westwick - and his cute parents - Jessica wore cutoff shorts, Dolce Vita wrap sandals, and a plain white tee. I like how the black blazer adds a polished touch while funky jewels and a straw fedora show off her fly personality. Don't they make a dashing couple?

Trend Alert: Two-Tone Frocks

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Have you been crashed by the sudden wave of two-tone frocks yet? If not, get your two-tone on now. Unlike most dresses, these give the illusion of separates. While an onlooker may think you spent a lot of time pairing a skirt and a top, really you only took a few seconds to slip on your genius two-tone frock. They're effortless, flattering, and fun. And they come in all sorts of color combos. What's not to love?

Trend Alert: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I've never been a huge fan of over-the-knee boots, but seeing Jenna Dewan in her maroon pair convinced me otherwise. See, I used to think thigh-highs were cheesy - cue Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman - but the key to getting this look right is styling it with not so '80s clothes. I suggest girlie floral frocks, like Jenna's, for an upscale Woodstock vibe, or paired with a lean wool mini, tights, and trench for a ultra-modern Fall look.

Trend Alert: Hurricane Huarache

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 08:00:22 -0700

How stoked am I hurricane huarache has swept the nation? The ancient sandal is back and in many incarnations. I had a pair of traditional flat brown ones several years ago and wore them stinky one Summer - it's time to replenish. Maybe I'll up the ante and give sexy huarache heels a go - these Tory Burch "Kelton" Woven Leather Sandals ($325) sweep me off my feet . . .

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Ever since I got back from Thailand I have been re-obsessed with the color turquoise. I'm a Sagittarius and it's supposed to be my power color. I can live with that! So imagine my delight when Diane showed up at an art party in NYC wearing a bodycon color swirl Alexander Wang dress - black and turquoise never looked so good. With a stunner like this, all you need is some sheer hose and cool pointy black suede pumps. Oh, and a Chanel bag.

Alexander Wang Stretch Mesh Combo Dress - $795.00	Hanes silk reflections waist smoother extended control top pantyhose - $9.00
Dolce Vita Kriss Cross Pump - $154.00	Chanel black quilted satin flap shoulder bag - $2,360.00
Mizuki Tiny Maltese Cross Studs in White Gold - $640.00

The time has come my friends. 2009 Fall New York Fashion Week, here I come. It's pretty freezing in NYC right now, so I asked you to help me bundle up. East Coast cold is not to be underestimated. I hope you remembered that looking fashion forward is my number one priority - OK, maybe a close second to the chill.

I started you off with these Dolce Vita Katie Boots ($110, originally $220) because they will be my constant cozy companions on my trip. Let's see who inspired me!

Look #1, created by bvfashion, is badass to the bone. I love it from head to toe, especially the hammered ring.
