FabSugar — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:00:38 -0700

We're nowhere close to the thick of New York Fashion Week, but there is already plenty of eye candy to go around. Be sure to read my reviews of my favorite collections thus far, but I want to make sure you're not missing anything. Here are some hot looks from Cynthia Steffe, Rag & Bone, Rosa Cha, Yigal Azrouel, Mara Hoffman, Nicole Miller, and more. Erin Wasson's collection for RVCA was more than just denim cutoffs, while Monique Lhuillier stunned with this liquid metal gown. Check it.

Amber Valletta Goes Wide-Legged: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Amber Valletta - whose clothing line launches in November - recently rang the closing bell at the NASDAQ in NYC. Though we don't normally see the Super in loose clothing, she decided to keep things rather professional. But is the route she took the most stylish one? You decide. Up top she wore a cobalt Jenni Kayne top with bold shoulders, and on bottom, wide-leg, high-waisted black pants also by Kayne. She finished her ensemble with a silver bangle and no other jewels. What say you - does this outfit work?

Jessica is on a roll. First she rocked our world in her lace LBD, and now she's looking beauteous in her cobalt Jenni Kayne dress at the Melrose Place premiere party. The actress continued the bold streak with dazzling accessories - a jeweled belt, black clutch, platform sandals, and a cocktail ring. Blue is definitely one of Jessica's colors - it makes her baby blues pop.

The Look For Less: Jenni Kayne Square Leopard Tunic

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:50:22 -0700

I drooled over the Fall '08 Jenni Kayne leopard tunic Nicole Richie rocked a while back but little did I know it would return for my love yet again. It's the most sophisticated leopard print I've seen and I love the combination of black and brown. But even on sale from its original price of $500, it's too pricey for me. At last, I found a similar piece that can satiate my love for Kayne's wild print without making me go broke. Yes!

You know what I did as soon as I laid eyes on this Truly Madly Deeply Cheetah Tunic ($30, originally $48)? I bought it. And you should too. The color scheme is exact and so is the print. The only thing different is the cut, but for $30, I couldn't care less. Actually, the fact that it's V-neck makes it more everyday wearable.

Fab Site: Jenni Kayne Takes Her Business Online

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We both know how much I heart Jenni Kayne, so I was beyond excited when I heard she took her business online. Congrats, Jenni! When in LA, I make sure to stop by her West Hollywood boutique, but this virtual store is far more practical. Currently, the ready-to-wear Fall '08 and Resort '09 collections are on sale, as are her baby clothes. But the hidden treasures are the contemporary and vintage jewels from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Kenneth Jay Lane. So you see, Jenni has opened up her web home to other stylish cohabitants as well. What a hospitable gal.

Fab Finger Discount: French Connection Cosmic Wonder Tube Top

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Jenni Kayne's Fall '09 collection was brilliant, but I didn't expect anything less from the trendsetting designer. Among the standout looks was this all-black trouser and tube top set, finished with chunky sandals, a gold ball necklace, and black-rimmed glasses. Simple yet unmistakably cool, that's Kayne's forte. If you wish to recreate it, French Connection's Cosmic Wonder Tube Top ($80, originally $138) should be your starting point. It's pleated like the designer version but way cheaper. Get your Kayne on.

You put leopard, a beanie and Louboutin together and I'm all over it. Despite her new role as mommy, Nicole remains true to her bad girl style. That a girl. Nicole and Joel were on a food run in LA, wearing none other than LA designer Fab favorite Jenni Kayne, rich blue skinnies and black Louboutin pumps.

Trend Alert: Fluid Silk Tops

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

There's something magical about mixing together the hard and soft. Take for instance fluid silk tops. Alone, these romantic blouses can come off overly girly, but the trick is to style them with sleek pants and hard-edge adornments.

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is a perfect reflection of sugar and spice. Her asymmetrical top is serene; everything else is sexy. Get the picture?

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Jenni Kayne

FabSugar — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:45:03 -0700

Oh my gosh, I almost missed Jenni Kayne's Spring '09 presentation - one of my favorites. I totally got lost in the West Village and man, was it hot outside. Alas, I found salvation on Jane Street and on stark white mannequins. While I do think models wear clothes better than mannequins, Kayne continues to impress with her minimal, subtly detailed cool girl clothes. We can cut her some slack - she is expecting a baby Kayne after all.

Favorites were the maxi length skirts (ode to the canary yellow one) and dresses, a gold paillette skirt paired with a blue button down shirt and a stone canvas box blazer and short suit. Simple shapes juxtaposed with bursts of print and color here and there, were quintessential Kane. Her gowns were noteworthy; one stand out was deco-esque with a dramatic drapes on the sides.
