Piperlime's 10 Fab New Baubles!

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Piperlime started its business with footwear, then added ready-to-wear, and now it's introducing bling to the family. Gap's sister company has made room for bold necklaces, eye-catching cocktail rings, unique bracelets, and even cheeky charms. Kate Spade, Kenneth Jay Lane, Juicy Couture, and Gorjana are just some of the designers on the sparkling roster. My favorite piece right now is this Kenneth Jay Lane Coral Multi Row Necklace ($113). It's loud, proud, and just waiting to be worn.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Bumble Beautiful

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Black and yellow are normally associated with bees, but not in this case. Miss Bea Heyvin's fantastically bumble beautiful look, instead, screams confidence. So cool how she used the illustration as inspiration to construct a similarly sassy ensemble. I love the fluidity of the polka-dot frock and the rigidity of the coat. The accessories help take the look to even funkier territory. Buzzzzz!

A Fabby Halloween: Gypsy

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Gypsy, wanderer, nomad, bohemian - call her what you will, but she is the ultimate free spirit. If you want a liberating costume this Halloween, look no further than the exotic gypsy. Much like the cirque du freak, the gypsy requires piling it all on. The main fashion components are coin jewelry, bangles, anklets, floor-sweeping skirts, paisley prints, head scarves, velvet, and layers - see Star from The Lost Boys for a vampy version. A wavy ebony wig can also help with authenticity. Roam away . . .

A Fabby Halloween: Cancan Girl

FabSugar — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:16:22 -0700

If I didn't already plan my Halloween costume this year – I'm going to be a mermaid - I would totally be a cancan girl. But hey, there's always next year, right? In case you didn't know, cancan dancers first derived from Paris in the mid 1800s. They were known for performing lively, leg-kicking dances in a chorus line. Since then, the dance style has spread across the world. You can always spot a cancan dancer by her awesome costume: long fluffy skirts, petticoats, corsets, stockings, and colorful feather headgear. You too, can be a cancan.

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.

Celeb Style: Ellen Page

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:23:04 -0700

A lot of stylish hotties were present at the Whip It premiere in LA last night, but one in particular caught my eye - Ellen Page. The young star stepped out of her fashion shell and donned a tough, yet sleek, grommet embellished LBD by Alexander Wang - she's totally on trend with those sheer sleeves. To further her funk, Ellen wore hardcore cutout booties by Rachel Comey, layered chains, and a studded clutch.

Celeb Style: Jordana Brewster

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:30:22 -0700

Jordana Brewster stole the show last night at the ALMA Awards in LA in a bright citron maxi dress by Reem Acra. The almost neon hue looks amazing against her skin tone, and I adore her funky accessories. The stacked bangles and statement ring bring an exotic element to her ensemble, while a box clutch brings in sleekness. On another note, I'm loving the wavy hair.

Fab Finger Discount: Kenneth Jay Lane Octangle Bangle Set

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

I adore wooden bangles - they inject a down-to-earth feel to any outfit and match everything. These Kenneth Jay Lane Octangle Bangles ($21 for the set, originally $35) are some of the best wooden bangles I've seen. They're modern, and at that price, you can afford to get two sets. Not bad. Wood you buy it?

Celeb Style: Eva Mendes

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:30:08 -0700

Eva Mendes never disappoints with her sleek and sophisticated red carpet ensembles. At the Bad Lieutenant photo call in Venice, the actress radiated in a black-and-white polka-dot dress and fun heels. Her dress is cute enough to stand on its own, but I love how she accessorized with a white watch and skinny belt for extra spunk. Once again, on target and tantalizing.

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.
