Madonna's Chopard Bling: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Madonna has always been one to stay ahead of the fashion curb. Check out her latest collaboration with Swiss jeweler Chopard in creating a one-of-a-kind M-Dolla knuckle ring encrusted in 258 diamonds. It's a little too Mr.T for my taste. Now I love Madge but do you think she went overboard on the bling?

FABTV: Elle Styles Madonna

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

We're so stoked to see Madonna back in action. Her music has been in heavy rotation in our Sugar offices and we're eagerly awaiting the new release of her Hard Candy album. We got our fingers on this absolutely Fab behind the seams video of Madonna's styling photo shoot with Elle magazine. This exclusive backstage access (with her much anticipated "4 minutes" collab with Justin Timberlake pumping in the background), shows Madge strutting her stuff. It's quick and flashy and commentated by stylist Arianne Phillips.

Madonna is definitely having fun in the video showing off her much coveted trim body and that adorable gap in between her teeth. Oh, and the glimpse of the plethora of shoes is amazing. Madonna continues to be one of the biggest style icons and time has shown that she's nowhere near near slowing down. Rock on.

Which one got the most of your business in 2008?

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Lanvin

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:00:22 -0700

I just died and went to Lanvin's heavenly candy shop. Alber Elbaz has done it again - he delivered inventive pieces but didn't alienate Lanvin's signature bold colors and voluminous silhouettes. This Spring collection leaves you wanting more. It offers everything from black to nude, to colors like chartreuse, teal, purple, and orange. Yum. Some of the dramatic wide-shouldered silhouettes are hard to work with; still, on the runway they work like magic. But what I really want to talk about are the accessories. Sparkly necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and clutches demand attention, but somehow don't steal the spotlight from the clothes. A perfect harmony has been created with the stunning clothes and wild jewels. Bravo, Alber, bravo!

A Fab Wedding in Zihuatanejo, Mexico

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I recently experienced my first destination wedding. And I don’t think any of my other friends' weddings will compare (sorry!). I was invited by the sister of the groom and it was in fun-but-hard-to-pronounce Zihuajanetejo, Mexico. The bride and groom chose this particular destination because they felt it's Mexico's best kept secret; they love the tropical surroundings and the quaint feel of the town. The closest friends, myself included, all stayed at this amazing house that the ceremony and party took place at as well. Cabin fever? No way, no how. The house can best be described as a luxurious tree house; everything was made out of wood, it spanned a whole cliff, hammocks and open air abound and an infinity pool overlooked the bay. It was, to say the least, fabulous.

Who: Pamela & Colin
Where: The Tree House, Zihuajanetejo, Mexico
When: May 2, 2008
What the bride wore: Sue Wong gown, Rene Caovilla shoes (the splurge) and her salsa after party dress was BCBG
What the bridesmaids wore: One wore a Nicole Miller dress and they both changed into Victoria's Secret dresses for the salsa after party. They swapped wearing orange and green for the reception then the party (cute idea, huh?)
What Fab wore: Check me and my friend out
Where to next for Pamela & Colin: Greece

The intimate ceremony of about 30 people was cozy and comfortable. Since the bride and groom come from mixed ethnic backgrounds they celebrated the union of all the cultures. It was such a site to witness overlooking the beautiful Mexican bay.

To hear more details about the fantasy wedding, read more.

The sweet ceremony and tropical cocktail reception - sangria margaritas anyone? - were just the beginning. The dinner was delish: frosty melon soup, Peruvian ceviche, pork tamales, red snapper machaca, and lots more. The dessert was just as lavish; the wedding cake was one layer mocha and chocolate, one layer mango and chocolate. As well, there was chocolate mousse, churros, and flaming Mexican coffee. And a candy bar! What fun for the little and big kids alike. The wedding colors were green and orange - so festive - and the candy bar was, too. Needless to say I had a tummyache by the end of the night (quick fix: a tequila shot!).

The bride and groom did an outfit change and performed a sexy salsa dance. Then we all danced the night away . . . I’ll spare you the excess tequila-induced details but it was quite the relaxing and invigorating wedding and vacation. And these pictures really help tell the story so enjoy!
