Celeb Style: Jennifer Garner

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Jennifer Garner attended The Invention of Lying premiere at the TIFF looking quite spectacular in a green tiered dress by Oscar de la Renta dress and Casadei sky-high taupe platform pumps - sizzle. The hue goes great against her brunette locks and I like how metallic silver accessories increase her sparkle. Indeed, this look is quite different from her usual playtime ensembles and I like it!

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.

I Love Your Shopstyle: Geometric

One might see this picture as a scrambled abstract but not Historie Girl. She pulled inspiration from the geometric pattern and created a striking Victorian-inspired ensemble. Her color choices are spot-on and I can't take my eyes off those Dries van Noten canvas and leather sandals. . .

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 09:00:11 -0700

Sienna continues her stream of quirky outfits promoting her new film G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra in Berlin. We don't see enough inspirational pant looks and here's a super cute one. Her gray Division E pocket racerback tank ($44), is haphazardly tucked into a pair of ankle-cinched Dries Van Noten trousers for a cool modern vibe. Cutesie green suede peep toes and a leopard print scarf bring some humor to the mix, while her black and silver snake-like bracelets add an architectural element.

Kain Label Grey Pocket Tank - $79.00	Acne Zoom Loose Ankle Length Trousers - $293.70
LTD FORNARINA Closed-toe slip-ons - $122.00	Apt. 9® Leopard Scarf - $25.00

Celebrity Style: Kelly Ripa

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:30:22 -0700

It's been a while since we've featured Kelly Ripa strolling the streets of New York, hasn't it? Lucky for us, the paparazzi snapped her walking through SoHo, wearing a black-and-white striped skirt by Dries van Noten. Her navy scoop tank is the perfect pairing because it adheres to the chic black-and-blue trend. Layered necklaces, tan sandals, square sunnies, and a black satchel complete her on-the-go look.

Splendid Ribbed Scoop Neck Tank ($42)	Dries Van Noten Salima Striped Skirt ($286)
Arden B. Long Layered Chain Necklace ($24)	Steve Madden Alicce ($110)
Kenneth Cole Square Plastic w/ Logo Arms ($55)	Rebecca Minkoff Devote Bag ($650)
Michael Kors MICHAEL KORS Jet Set Stone Watch ($250)	Lauren Ralph Lauren CZ Stud Earrings ($42)

Celebrity Style: Maria Sharapova

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I don't know where Maria Sharapova went last night, but it must have been a helluva swanky party. The tennis star has once again impressed with her spot-on fashion sense. The cobalt cutout Thakoon dress gives her look a major jolt, while the chunky silver Dries van Noten necklace adds more pizazz. What's particularly cool here is that she threw her black oversized blazer over her shoulders borrowed-from-the-boys style. But what's even cooler is that she designed her own shoes, complete with Nike air cushioning, in a collaboration with Cole Haan. Now that's style.

Erin Wasson X RVCA Hard Nation Blazer - $250.00	Flutter-Sleeve Dress - $59.50
Magnetic Closure Rhinestone Necklace - $10.80	Steve Madden Women's Tayla Strappy Cuff Platform Pump - $119.95
Striped Bangle - $188.00	Leather Snake Clutch - $125.00

2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Dries Van Noten

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Dries continues to deliver just the right thing at just the right time. While others are delivering dark, moody collections, or '80s overload, Dries welcomed a saturated sportswear inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon. The designer noted, "Bacon’s subjects are disturbing, but so, also, his use of color is disturbing.” The result is muted tones against vivid chartreuse, pumpkin, periwinkle, and saffron. As for cuts, a cool, loose silhouette is paired with sharp suiting, jackets, and structured leather. The outerwear is what really stands out; this navy zip up jacket (shown right) is a classic cutie, belted coats are strong contenders, and a gray sequined blazer took my breathe away.

No Dries collection wraps without a nuanced print. For Fall, the designer photographed random cocktail fabrics from past decades and fused the black-and-white photos with the silky fabrics. The results was a blocked, geometric motif so fitting to the house, so unique.

Spring Peek: Geo Max

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:22 -0800

The opposing force of Luxotica is Geo Max. For the rare days I'm not feeling like an island girl and want to be serious, graphic prints, stripes, 3-D shapes, and polka dots will modernize my look. Most of these equations came in black and white, with the occasional blue, but one of my favorite Spring collections - Dries Van Noten - delivered it in marigold. The happy color made the geo seem less max, know what I mean? Notice the bold accessories though. Michael Kors also delivered his dots with whimsy, while on the flip side, Gareth Pugh took his dolls to space and back. Small doses, or to the max, choose your poison.

Confession: I'm not the sharpest when it comes to finance. Don't get me wrong, I know the basics, thanks to SavvySugar, but I want to learn more about investing my hard-earned money. To help point me in the right direction, a friend suggested I attend a personal finance seminar. As expected, I was amongst suits, ties, and chinos, but thanks to you, I found a sharp ensemble that was perfect number-crunching fun.
