2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week Fab Roundup!

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Even under a scrunched time line, Milan Fashion Week stunned with numerous beautiful collections. In this roundup, I highlight some of my favorite designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Fendi, and Armani, to name a few. I admit, Dolce & Gabbana's collection was my favorite, but that's not stopping me from showing you Bottega's soft and swirly frock, Gucci's cut-out wonder, and Emilio Pucci's magical prints. I can't seem to resist this tropical bohemian masterpiece from Etro. Simply a-mazing.

I Love Your Shopstyle: Laid Back

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Sometimes, the perfect Summer day for me means chillin' around town doing absolutely nothing, nada, zilch. You feel me? bubleguma's ensemble would be ideal for such a laid back day. I can see myself strolling around town wearing her fresh picks. Notice how she upped the style meter by accessorizing her baggy shorts and sweater with a load of funky jewels.

Trend Alert: Punky Pouchettes

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Let me first define what a "pouchette" is: a pocket handbag or wallet. You may have guessed the term is French and therefore we shouldn't be surprised some of the greatest French fashion houses are producing some modern, punky pouchettes. These little confections are small, but oh so mighty. This Lanvin Liz Pouchette ($1,275) is the ultimate conversation piece; don't you just want to reach out and fondle it?

I Love Your Shopstyle: Color Blocking

Color blocking is all about using your imagination. I love how phaeder8er interpreted this look by contrasting vibrant accessories against neutral dresses. Her outfits look amazing and it's also a smart translation on the trend without going overboard. I'm lusting over her infectious array of clutches, jewels, and heels - I'd like one of each, please.

Trend Alert: Smoked Salmon

I'm not a huge fan of smoked salmon in the food world. In the fashion world, however - tasty. Cutie Kristin Cavallari rocked a salmon hued Herve Leger with equally Fab hot pink trimmed nude Loubs. She went there, and I commend her. It might be too much for some, but you only live once. Salmon can be toned down with heather gray or amped up with hot pink, you choose your choice.

I know what you're thinking: I can't believe it's already April. My friends, April is one of the best months! Spring has sprung, Summer is around the corner, you still have time to get in shape, and you have plenty of resources to assemble your warm-weather wardrobe. Sales are already sprouting and the sun is shining. What is there to complain about? Niente. My eyes are locking on optimistic goods, like these insanely fun Fendi strappy patent two-tone sandals ($615). Revel in it.

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Anyone wanting to dabble with menswear while retaining femininity should turn to Selita Ebanks. Here, at a movie screening in NYC, the model incorporated both elements in the most balanced way. The sequined dress, pink Christian Louboutin pumps, and lilac clutch are gorgeously girlie, while her white blazer and chain necklace work in some toughness. The soft color palette is also noteworthy; it reminds me of a delicious dessert I want to gobble up. Yum!

Christian Louboutin New Decoltissimo 85 pointed pumps - $645.00	Dillard's sterling collection 5mm cz stud earrings - $20.00
