Trend Alert: Long-Sleeve Minis

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Emmanuelle Chriqui, Kerry Washington, and Kate Moss have a lot in common. Beside being some of the most coveted ladies in the biz, they all look majorly hot in their long-sleeve minis. The contrast between the short hemline and long sleeves is pure genius. Even better, they're ideal for Fall - pair them with leather leggings for a scintillating rocker-glam vibe, or with tights for maximum coziness. Oh, don't forget to complete the look with oversized earrings!

Fab Finger Discount: Generra Pintucked Swing Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I'm from the school of thought that a gal can never have enough jackets. I have a closet-full and am always looking for more. They're a necessary finishing touch. I mean, would you get a manicure without the top coat? Exactly. If you see eye to eye with me, get this Generra Pintucked Swing Jacket ($89, originally $295), available in extra small through large. It can go over a fun sundress now, then over layers with a cozy scarf later. I'm smitten with the double breast, the subtle crop, but most of all, the price.

Celebrity Style: Hana Soukupova

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Czech model Hana Soukupova showed her pretty face at Radar Entertainments fashion division launch party. But what I'm more captivated by is her cool black-and-white outfit, complete with a sheer scarf and black leather boots. The tuxedo tank brings in an androgynous air, while her black mini dress shows off her feminine stems. Model perfection, I say!

Trend Alert: Draw The String

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 07:00:22 -0700

For a subtly sporty feel, this Spring you can draw the string. Drawstrings are popular on bags, tops, dresses and, of course, outerwear. The It jackets is the anorak - a classic lesson in the beauty of the drawstring. A little sporty, a little utilitarian, a lot of cute. Wear them with layers as we ease into the warmer months of the year.

Trend Alert: Tiered Ruffles

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Ruffle me this, ruffle me that. You all went gaga over the frills of Spring last week so I thought we could fast forward this trend. Lately, I've been swayed by tiered ruffles. The master of ruffles, Valentino, shows how it's done (pictured). Who can forget Sarah Michelle Gellar's bubbly champagne look in vintage Chloe? Ruffle in the Winter, ruffle in the Summer, ruffle me all over.

Trend Alert: Flannel

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:00:22 -0800

Ever since that genius sports jacket Kit made on episode three of Project Runway flannel has been on my mind. Then, I realized I don't own anything flannel. Oh wait! I have a pair of turquoise pajama pants with martinis on them. But seriously, this look from Carolina Herrera's Fall runway takes flannel to a high level of opulence. Actually, I'm feeling quite embarrassed about divulging my cheesy pajama pants to you right about now. Goodbye . . .

Trend Alert: Black Stovepipe Pants

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

It is only fair to provide you with the other side of the coin. In fashion, there is almost always a flip side - variety is the spice of life. No matter what the overarching seasonal trends are, there's something for everyone in the wonderful world of fashion. (Fashion bliss moment of silence.) So, the other day I showed you high waisted trouser options and for those of you not feeling them, try a pair of black stovepipe pants on for size. They don't call them "stovepipe" for nothing; these are slimming, chic and classic. Leggings have morphed into these bad boys, that work best with belted volume on top for a sleek hourglass silhouette. I swing both ways, like I said, there's something for everyone.

Trend Alert: Shorts

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:15:33 -0700

An alternative to mini dresses, when you want to show some leg but crave a sportier look shorts are a fresh contender. I have always liked shorts; I believe they can be really cute and chic when worn right. Now you all have mixed feelings about shorts so hopefully I can turn you onto them - as long as you promise to wear them by the rules! I think shorts have a bad rap, because so many people wear them wrong. Here are some tips:

Show the knees please! Below the knee should be kept to a cute cropped pant.
When worn with flip-flops or sneakers it looks too college casual - bring on the femme factor with cork heels or exotic flats.
Make sure your legs are buffed and moisturized! You can still pride your paleness but ashy skin is never cute.

Most of Spring's shorts are cuffed and roomy so keep the rest of the silhouette loose. Or flaunt a slim sexy top and volume on the bottom. See, it's fun to play around with shorts!

Trend Alert: Cobalt Blue

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 05:34:01 -0800

What color is both appropriate for winter and spring? A bold favorite of mine: cobalt blue! There were splashes of this beautiful blue on the Fall 2006 runways and it is even more electric on the Spring 2007 runways, like with this look from newcomer Christopher Kane. Go ahead and rock this brilliant hue with these picks:

Modern Leather Motorcyle Jackets

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 11:32:23 -0800

There are some fashions you put on that just make you feel cool: fabulous sunglasses, form-fitting jeans, black nail polish, an incognito trench, and killer heels. But the ultimate cool item spotted during these transitional Fall-to-Winter days has got to be the leather motorcycle jacket. As Keira Knightley and Lindsay Lohan have proven, this can be a pretty fierce cover-up. Our favorite way to wear these updated styles is over a feminine dress, the way the too-cool-for-school models have sported it. There are also more color options out there; browns and greens are a muted alternative to classic black. Check out some of my favorite finds at both designer and non-designer prices.
