Us' Hot Hollywood Style Winners: Jennifer Lopez

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 10:54:13 -0700

In case you hadn't heard, the Style Icon of the Year winner is JLo! Her look is regal and elegant, but she definitely ups the glam factor with dramatic beauty and jewelry. She also knows how to dress urban and sophisticated so fans can identify with her! However, I don't know if a menswear approach was the best choice for this extravaganza. A fun party dress would have been my choice. Alas, her skin is glowing and she is smokin' as always. What do you all think?

Lorraine Schwartz Dazzling Diamonds, Part I

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 09:34:41 -0800

Look at all of the lavish bling on these lovely leading ladies last night. Thanks to jeweler of the stars, Lorraine Schwartz, beauties such as: Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Sarah Paulson arrived decked out in drop dead gorgeous diamonds and rare stones.

Lorraine has been decorating celebs in her decadent designs for the past decade, but really began to make her mark over the past two years. We first heard about her at the 2006 VMAs when she bedazzled Beyonce and Jessica Simpson in exquisite bracelets, rings and earrings. Oh, and who could forget that outrageously gorgeous necklace that Christina Aguilera wore!

Unfortunately, Lorraine does not have an online store, but you can call her directly at (646) 274-2008 for an appointment if you live in or plan to visit New York City. Her showroom is located at 580 5th Avenue by 47th Street, in NYC's famous diamond district.

Jennifer Lopez wore ten plus carats of yellow diamonds in a pair of crushed gold chandelier earrings worth $110,000. She was also adorned in a yellow brushed gold cuff, a canary emerald cut diamond platinum ring that totalled 30 carats for two million dollars and a yellow gold rose cut diamond ring.

Beyonce Knowles wore a pair of 40 carat natural iridescent diamond earrings worth $195,000, as well as an aged ivory and natural color diamond cuff worth $120,000 and a 20 carat, grey and yellow diamond cocktail ring worth $90,000. Wowsers!

Sarah Paulson wore a stunning pair of white jade earrings made from 18k yellow gold and yellow diamonds worth $85,000. She also wore multiple 18k white and yellow gold diamond caviar bangle bracelets each worth $75,000 as well as a beautiful jade diamond bangle bracelet worth $20,000.

Eyelash Intervention

We think Carmen Electra's eyelashes are off the hook!

Eyelash curlers will help enhance what you already have, and fake lashes may be okay for special occasions, but how do you solve the problem of small, thin or non-existent lashes? From what I hear, Jan Marini's Age Intervention Eyelash product just might do the trick!

Instead of lengthening what's already there, the Age Intervention product actually contains enzymes to stimulate hair growth in your eyelash folicles. From Jan Marini's website, "Age Intervention Eyelash goes beyond lash extensions and delivers eyelashes that are truly remarkable. Regardless of how thin, sparse or short your lashes are, and even if you are completely missing sections of your lashes, you can achieve amazing looking eyelashes."

Longer growing lashes are apparently noticeable in about 1-3 weeks. I just purchased mine this weekend, so I'll give you an update in a few weeks and let you know how it works!

Jan Marini products are available online here or at your local spa retailer.

Jennifer Lopez Halts Sweetface Production

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:32:23 -0700

After six years, Jennifer Lopez's contemporary sportswear brand, Sweetface, has been pulled from the racks - for now. "In light of some new company strategies, we have decided to put the Sweetface line on hiatus while we prepare to reintroduce the brand in the near future with new messaging points and an entirely new fashion point of view," a spokesperson said.

Sweetface originally launched as an urban streetwear spinoff to JLO by Jennifer Lopez and quickly became a higher-end contemporary line carried at Shopbop.com, Intermix, and the like. It was said to be raking in about $200 million at retail in 2006, but things went downhill. For now, the only Jennifer Lopez lines remaining in the US will be JLO by Jennifer Lopez costume jewelry and her footwear sold at Victoria's Secret.

Little Ms. Rock n' Roll: The Scent

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 09:35:14 -0800

I do believe Little Ms. Rock n' Roll would enjoy this ultra feminine floral musk fragrance Glow After Dark by JLO. It has been five years since Jennifer Lopez launched Glow, which was a huge hit, and this scent has a similar fragrance base. However, it is intended to be more reminiscent of a fun, sexy, wild girls night out rather than the soft, gentle, sensual original scent.

It contains notes of: lychee melon, sparkling mandarin, white cherry, passion fruit, creamy jasmine, pink peony, freesia lace, Moroccan rose, orange flower, musk and tree moss. The bottle is sleek and slender with a mirrored chrome finish. To really give it a night on the town effect, it has signature black and silver JLO jewelry that drapes around the nape. JLO Glow After Dark is $45 for 1.7oz, Eau de Toilette spray and the night bright body lotion is $27.50.

Go Fab Finding and help me put together a drop dead New Years outfit for this personality. And you have to be quick as I'll be piecing the outfit together today and revealing it at the end of the day! Don't forget to tag your items with RocknRoll. Party on!

Who Wore It Better? White Pleated Fendi Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Fendi's white pleated dress is so delectable, not one, but two actresses got their hands on it. Cameron Diaz first wore it to the Japan premiere of What Happens in Vegas with light pink pointy Jimmy Choo pumps and assorted gold bangles. Jennifer Lopez wore the dress to the fragrance launch of her new perfume Deseo. In a very JLo manner, the actress opted for jeweled sandals, hoop earrings, bangles, and red lipstick. Cameron played it flirty feminine while Jennifer pumped up the sexiness. Whose version wins?

Fab Body Guide: Yummie Tummie Control

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:17:11 -0800

Heather Thomson, who once designed for labels like Sean John, JLO by Jennifer Lopez, and Beyonce's House of Deréon, is doing her own thing. Yummie Tummie may sound like a flavor of ice cream, but it's actually a collection of body shapers designed to minimize the curves that come as a result of eating too much ice cream!

"I had some big babies. With my first, I gained 65 pounds and with my second, I gained 68 pounds. Of course, I lost a lot of the weight, but my stomach just never seemed to get flat again," Thomson said. If this sounds like a predicament you're in, get yourself this Yummie Tummie Tank ($62), which comes in a slew of colors. It'll hug you in all the right places.

D&G Candy Bangles: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 15:00:22 -0700

It seems a lot of clothing designers are venturing off into jewelry land; Dolce & Gabbana has joined that crew.

One of their first pieces, these D&G Dolce & Gabbana Candy Bangles, $225, are quite loud and gaudy. But that's no surprise coming from the provocative Italian designing duo. I can see J.Lo rocking them, but I would prefer them if they didn't have the crystal embellishments. What do you think?
