Fab Flash: Rachel Bilson, InStyle Fashion Editor

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:01:28 -0700

Rachel Bilson is spreading her fashion wings by writing for InStyle magazine. In the May issue, the celebrity designer has her own page (page 148) named, Ask Rachel. "I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it,” said Bilson.

In her editorial debut, Rachel answers readers style questions and dishes on her favorite Spring items, which include Lela Rose for Payless flats, Lanvin sandals, and Matta scarves. When asked if it's OK to pair a big shoulder bag with a cocktail dress, Rachel replied, "You can absolutely wear a large purse with a party dress. In fact, I prefer it. Of course, it shouldn't be the size of a carry-on, and anything with an overly large strap is too casual. But a funky purse can offset the fuss of fancy." If you have any personal style questions for Rachel, submit them - we already sent ours!

On Our Radar: In Style's Designer Central

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Sorry if I stepped away for a while - I was hooked on In Style's new Designer Central feature. Like their Celebrity Makeup Match, it's hours of distraction. Not only is it a runway and designer resource, it has the goods on celebs wearing the designers. I just flipped through oodles of celebrity looks playing my own version of guess the designer. If you seek something more educational, you can zero in on a favorite designer and see their timeline (AKA. 10 Key Moments), runway shows, celebrity fans, and shop the designer.
Today I felt like I needed an Alberta Ferretti refresher and voila! Refreshed. The fun doesn't stop there. You can do your bridal designer research as well as ogle all the celebrity designers that have popped up over the years. Now you get lost at designer central.

Girls who don't like video games but need something to do while their guy is busy with the Wii can play Neiman Marcus' Mix & Match Game, powered by In Style. I consider it the girly equivalent of a computer game.

Mix and match must-have clothing and accessories for the season according to your unique taste. Then, if you really love the look, buy it. The look to the left is the one I created. I had so much fun doing it; now it's your turn!

New from the editors of InStyle is YOUR LOOK Magazine. It was just released on March 2nd on newsstands and it costs $3.49. YOUR LOOK is a quarterly mag that is targeted towards 16-20 year old females. It will invite readers to upload their own fashion photos on the magazine’s Web site or MySpace profile for possible inclusion in the magazine.

The magazine will be comprised of tons of cool info about fashion, beauty and retail, which will be reflected in all 23 ad pages on these topics. I felt compelled to tell you gals about this if you are into the magazine thang for airplane rides, the beach, the loo, etc…

Edition #1 features Rachel Bilson on the cover looking casually chic sitting Indian style with her pooch in a flirty white and lime colored top and a pair of broken in jeans.

InStyle has been a favorite magazine of mine since puberty, so I am anxiously awaiting the release of YOUR LOOK. You can either log onto InStyle.com to request a free trial issue or call 1-800-233-7999 to order a copy now.

FabSugar — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 01:13:22 -0700

InStyle magazine sure knows how to throw a party. This week at its Summer Soiree party in LA, celebs toasted the night wearing their best cocktail gear. Here are my favorite looks: Ashlee Simpson in a champagne-colored Jill Stuart playsuit; Jordana Brewster in gold Reem Acra; Jessica Stroup in a chic LBD; Katie Cassidy in Balenciaga; and Eliza Dushku in sexy Herve Leger. Each hottie oozed playfulness in her own sassy way - which one is your fave?

Celeb Style: Jessica Stroup

Jessica, you always turn up the style volume. While many PYTs attended InStyle's annual Summer soiree in LA, Jessica stood out in a simple, ultra-chic LBD. Her black strapless lace insert dress is a modern take on the '80s trend and fits perfectly. Her black deep-v pumps are Robert Palmer girl-esque, while a Le Vian diamond bracelet is understated. Glam rockin' blue nail polish adds a youthful touch.

Designer Spotlight: Mink Pink

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

It was not too long ago that I got to know Mink Pink. First I spotted its silky LBD with studs on a website, then on Gabrielle Union at an InStyle party. I knew there had to be more fabulousness where that came. Prices are affordable and its designs fresh and youthful.

It all started in Australia in 2005, when a group of Mink Pinkers took inspiration from high-end designers and started creating pieces full of personality. Now, the label is ready to take on the world one store and city at a time. Mark my words, you're about to start seeing Mink Pink everywhere you turn.
