eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 05:00:22 -0700

Just gazing at this cozy Vintage Ivory Sweater makes me want to brave the Winter cold. Okay, not really, but it does make me wish for colder weather so I can show it off. It looks nice wrapped up or let loose. Doesn't it remind you of Stella McCartney's Fall 2007 collection?

The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends next Sunday, November 11. Good luck and happy bidding!

Fab Flash: Preen Designs Collection for Topshop

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 12:00:22 -0700

Preen duo Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi are taking their modern Victoriana looks from the runway to the streets. The less expensive collection will be sold at Topshop in mid-September, just in time for London Fashion Week (September 15-20)!

In true Preen fashion, the collection will be made of funky funnel necks, which double as cozy hoods, exaggerated hips, patent accents and more modern silhouettes. The color scheme will be rich aubergine and black, and fabrics include heavy crepes, wool cashmere and wool jersey. Yup, sounds like Fall!

Fab Ad: Calvin Klein Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 14:31:33 -0700

Russian model and Calvin Klein muse Natalia Vodianova is usually a shoe-in for the Calvin Klein advertisements - she's starred in them since 2003. For Fall, however, there are a few changes: Natalia is seven months pregnant, so she's been replaced by up-and-coming Finnish model Suvi Koponen, who was photographed at Milk Studios in New York for the campaign. The ads will appear in magazines in September. I think the pictures are a little bland, but they do stay true to Calvin Klein's minimalist tendencies! What do you think?

Fab Ad: Aquascutum Fall/Winter 2007 Featuring Gisele

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 10:25:33 -0700

Gisele may have recently parted ways with Victoria's Secret, but that doesn't mean she has said goodbye to modeling once and for all! The Brazilian babe is back in front of the high fashion lenses for Aquascutum's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign. And don't forget she will be the upcoming face of YSl's Fall ads too. This is good news to all you Gisele fans!

Shot in Cliveden - a British mansion infamous for housing a political and sex scandal in the sixties - Gisele is cast by photographer Mario Sorrenti as a bombshell involved in trysts and intrigue. The ads will run in magazines starting in August and September.

I love the idea behind the photographs, but I'm not so sure about the clothes and the finished product. What do you all think?

Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 12:25:34 -0700

Scarlett Johansson is back as the face of Louis Vuitton in the company's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign. I am happy to see that she actually looks like herself this time! I'm also glad that the LV goods she's modeling are actually something I would consider buying, unlike those lace-infested Dentelle Speedy bags. In these photos, the actress oozes glamour and sex appeal, two things she is very good at. I am absolutely in love with her hair-do in these shots, as well as the patent red shoes! Though, she is extremely pale, but that was probably the artistic intention.

LV creative director Marc Jacobs said that he based his Fall/Winter collection around Scarlett's character in 2003's The Girl with the Pearl Earring. The ads are shot by Vuitton regulars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and are slated to appear in fashion magazines in August.

Fab Face: Iekeliene Stange

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 16:36:55 -0800

One of the most interesting faces trotting down the fall runways was Dutch newcomer Iekeliene Stange. Note: her last name is Stange, not Strange, though she does look it with her insane cheekbones, pale complexion, and pointed nose. The 21-year-old, who also happens to have a gap-toothed smile, was a designer favorite this fall appearing in numerous shows including Chloe, Chanel, and Emanuel Ungaro. I think she's interesting looking alright, what do you think?

Yummy Autumn Scents

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 07:40:01 -0700

Every year when autumn arrives, I can't help but whip up a big batch of spiced (and sometimes spiked) apple cider. There's something about that warm, cinnamon-apple smell that just says Fall to me. But a girl can't just drink apple cider all the time, so I'm glad I can also get the spiced, fruity scents of Fall in the form of bath products-everything from apple-scented lotions to delicious ginger-snap fragrance spray. Here are some of my top picks for yummy Fall-scented bath and body products.

Body Shop Golden Apple Body Butter, $17, available here.

Philosophy Pumpkin Pie Shower Gel, $16, available here.

Williams-Sonoma Boxed Kitchen Candle in Spiced Chestnut, $19.95, available here.

Bath & Body Works Very Festive Pomegranate Shimmer Powder Puff, $22, available here.

Sneak Peek! Ann Taylor, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days. The retailer adopted a more trend-conscious aesthetic and it recently hired Heidi Klum to be its cashmere model! I'm quite impressed by its Fall collection. There is a look for every girl and the styling has been executed flawlessly. Casual denim, puffer jackets, coats, and wow-worthy red dresses and skirts are all must haves. I'm thinking this Wool Bow Coat ($295) needs to come home with me. Proceed to shop my favorite looks.

Guess Who Designed the Fall Runway Look!

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Even though it's hot out, I can't seem to keep my hands - or wallet - away from the Fall goodies in stores. Perhaps it's a consequence of those Fall glimpses. In the past two days, I purchased a semisheer black sweater, a thin dolman-sleeve cardi, and a nubby funnel neck scarf. While you revel in the remaining days of Summer, gear up for the next season by taking my Fall runway quiz.

Question 1 of 6

Who designed this funky ensemble for Fall?
