Trend Alert: Ice Princesses

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

All this time I've been preaching color and these ice princesses are stealing the spotlight. Gray goes many ways: casual, dressy, cool, sexy. The best part about gray is it's seasonless and you can play up colorful makeup and accessories. Work an icy demeanor in the Winter and a chill one in the Summer. Ice ice baby . . .

It's Monday morning, and I know Mondays can be tough. So instead of getting bummed out about the start of the work week, let's try to get excited about all of the great gray work dresses that are surfacing for Winter and Fall.

Trend Alert: Ice Florals

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

What's the difference between ice florals and moody florals you ask? They're cooler. While I also like a burst of turquoise or coral during Winter months, sometimes black, white, and gray feel more serious. Emma Roberts' cute Miu Miu dress exhibits ice florals perfectly - with a happy note of yellow. Black tights and patent pumps further cool the complementary ensemb.

Trend Alert: Glorious Gray Clutches

Yes, Kate Beckinsale and hubby Len Wiseman are a handsome couple, but so are the star and her glorious gray clutch. This neutral hue gives off a casual yet refined vibe without taking the spotlight away from an outfit. I love wearing my gray clutch with bright ensembles for extra contrast, but it also works with lighter tones. Just look at Kate for inspiration: her clutch plays the perfect supporting role to her silver J.Mendel dress - simply dazzling.

Angie Harmon Straps Into Rodarte Boots: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:44:22 -0700

Hot mommy Angie Harmon is usually so pretty on the red carpet, so to see her so severe is, well, different. At the 2009 Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Awards last night, the actress wore a loose-fitting maroon dress, but what comes next is questionable. She completed her look with Rodarte's thigh-high gray boots from Fall '09. The boots are super futuristic, but I'm not sold on them with that dress. What do you think?

I Want This Wardrobe: Vanessa Abrams

Vanessa is living her college life to the fullest. Besides getting into rompy threesomes, the Gossip Girl also enjoys showing us her selection of unique and vibrant ensembles. While strolling NYC, Vanessa kept warm in a cozy colorful plaid jacket by Diane von Furstenberg, paired with a blue embroidered dress by Nanette Lepore. Black opaque tights shield her from the Fall chill, while gray ruched boots further her bohemian 'fit.

Celeb Style: Halle Berry

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:30:22 -0800

Halle Berry joined Nicole Richie at the March of Dimes annual Celebration of Babies event in LA over the weekend. While Nicole opted for a boho maxi, Halle looked sexy sleek in a navy blue Yigal Azrouel number and smokey suede pumps. I love the way the dress melts over her curves and shows just enough cleavage. A diamond bracelet, diamond-studded earrings, and a delicate necklace provide the right amount of sparkle.

Cotton Spandex Jersey Long Sleeve Criss-Cross Dress - $36.00	HTC Italy 10,000 Studs Belt - Black - $285.00
Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo Pump - Blue - $795.00	R.J. Graziano Five Row Crystal Cuff, 0.875"W - $45.00

Penelope Tangled in Gray Haider Ackermann: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Penelope Cruz's all-gray outfit at the NYC premiere of Broken Embraces did nothing to shoot down the recent pregnancy rumors. The actress tangled herself in a gray Haider Ackermann gown, topped with an asymmetrical zip jacket by the designer. Providing slight sparkle are a pair of diamond earrings by Chopard and a diamond ring. It's a complex look and I would have loved to see the bodice of the dress, but that jacket is killer. What do you make of it?

2010 Spring: Calvin Klein, CK Jeans, and CK Underwear

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

Clean. Precise. Minimal. Three terms Calvin Klein wants you to use when describing its Spring '10 collection. Staying true to the house's less-is-more aesthetic, Francisco Costa has delivered a line of basics with a sexy utilitarian nature. You'll find organic fabrics and most colors of the rainbow: sand, white, and khaki as staples, canary, melon, poppy, fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt as accents. Drawstring cargos, denim vests, fitted blazers, parkas, denim judo pants, and shirt dresses are all solid. But one print piece stands out as the cool black sheep: a black-and-white, tie-dye dress that's feminine and bold.

Swimsuits are also part of the Spring family - a two-piece in warm gray and a one piece in solid gray or gray Bengal print. The handbags are equally minimal; hobos, totes, and rounded clutches are smooth and unstructured, with gold and silver hardware. Wooden-stacked heels and flat sandals are au naturel and sporty.

Celeb Style: Olivia Wilde

Last night, Olivia showed off her sophisticated, sheath style at the The Late Show With David Letterman donning an elegant Helmut Lang knee-length, gray dress with nude Brian Atwood platform pumps. I'm digging how the actress layered her outfit with a draped leather jacket. It adds the right amount of spunk and doesn't distract from her distinctly divine dress.
