Trend Alert: Khaki on Khaki

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 05:50:22 PDT

At first read, khaki on khaki might remind you of your days as a girl scout, but hear me out. With the sleek utilitarian look in full tilt this season, it's only natural for the trend to rub off on its lighter sister. Take inspiration from Elle Macpherson's slick 'fit and do it right via cropped pants and a slightly darker top. Or, pair a flirty short skirt with a cute button-up for a quick summertime ensemble. Most importantly, don't forget to accessorize with funky accessories.

Trend Alert: Tenacious Tribal Prints

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 07:50:17 PDT

Spring is the perfect time to show off tenacious tribal prints. These bold patterns - we especially love the African-inspired prints - emote major artsy-cum-funky appeal. Unlike Aztec techno motifs, tribal prints boast richer hues such as red, green, yellow, and brown. We can't stop staring at this amazing Diane von Furstenberg African Sugar-Print Canvas Bag ($1,400) - wowee.

10 Warm Winter Coats You Need Now!

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:50:22 PST

I'm all about taking precautionary measures during flu season. Besides getting my annual flu shot, I always make sure to bundle up and stay warm. That's where a fabulous warm Winter coat comes into play. I own an arsenal of toppers from my days in NYC, but if you're still looking for that perfect outerwear piece, check out these 10 Winter coat picks. There's houndstooth print for McQueen lovers, pea coats for the classically chic, bright red for the daring stylephile, and fresh ponchos for the fashion-forward. The best thing? Every item is priced under $300 - sweet. I own a green anorak jacket similar to this Charlotte Ronson Army Twill Jacket ($290), and I can't live without it.

Celeb Style: Rihanna

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:15:22 PDT

While in NYC, Rihanna showed off new blond highlights and an even slicker 'fit. The singer kept things funky fresh donning a pair of Stella McCartney's perforated thigh-high boots with a funky hemlines sweater dress - check out that sweet petticoat. On the accessories front, Rihanna bedazzled herself with an abundance of mixed metals, chains, bracelets, and a slick ring. Work it.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: MJ Dance-Off

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:50:22 PDT

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Girls-Only Pajama Jammie Jam

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 02:50:22 PDT

My expecting friend hosted a girls-only slumber party a couple weeks ago. Once the baby arrives, she'll be swamped so she wanted to spend some good ol' girl time before her delivery. We had so much fun watching movies and gabbing the night away! I asked you to help me put together a cute cozy outfit I can hang out and sleep in.

I started you off with this Tilly's Splatter Headband Set ($5) because it kept my hair away from my face during the pillow fights. Let's see the top three looks!

Look #1, created by hil34, looks super comfy - thanks for remembering the slippers.

Alternative Apparel Burnout Short Sleeve Tunic Top in Moss	Love Drawstring Sweatpant - Grey
Dooney & Bourke 'DB Sport Ducks - Victoria' Tote	Splatter Ponio Headband 5-Piece Set ($5)

Gossip Girl Tees - Whose Team Are You On?

FabSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 08:50:22 PDT

I'm a Gossip Girl devotee so you know I have my opinions about who's cool and who's lame. I'm sure you do, too. Now, with these Fred Flare Gossip Girl Tees ($26 each), we can wear our GG alliances loud and proud. Hint: My two favorites are the antithesis of innocent. Tell me, whose team are you on? Then get a tee and shout it from the streets.

March Shopping Madness! Country Cutie

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:00:22 PDT

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie. To fake this Midwest vibe, dig around for soft, floral prints and muted colors. Smaller florals - like VS model Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Pink corset floral dress - deliver the best country girl illusion. If dresses aren't your thing, pair a smocked top with some cut-off jean shorts for a more casual look.

Here's the most important part to getting this right: take another glance at the South African beauty. Did you notice how she paired her dress with kickass Alex Wang heels? That's how you do it. Contrast all of that country softness with a tough piece to give it a modern touch.

Trend Alert: Color Me Shady

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:00:22 PST

Isla Fisher walks it when she talks it. Last weekend, at the Confessions of a Shopaholic press conference, she admitted, "The most fun fashion discovery was to use a lot of color in my wardrobe. I’m fairly conservative normally, and I just feel like Patricia Field brought out the color in me. I now love to wear color." From what I've seen, her character in the much-anticipated movie is color crazy, but yesterday in LA Isla was showing her adoration of blue. Her getup is straight-up adorable, but what I'm feasting on is her blue plastic sunnies -color me shady! What a way to fend off the Winter woes.
