The Look For Less: Tiffany & Co. Star Necklace

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Star light, star bright. The star craze keeps on keeping on. Here we have a gorgeous but very expensive Tiffany & Co. Star Link Lariat Necklace ($1,100). There are several things I like about this necklace, but the price tag is not one of them. Its delicateness is stunning, as is the combination of the big and little stars. It would look as darling with a simple gray tank as it would an LBD. Too bad I would go bankrupt if I ever purchased it.

Alas, my research skills serve me well. Check out this Blue Nile Star Lariat Necklace in Sterling Silver ($65). Now that's more like it. Even though it doesn't have as many stars on it, it has the same lariat detail. Now I can't live without it.

Look of the Day: Seeing Dots

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Purple leopards might not exist in the wilderness, but they sure do in the concrete jungle. Gabitzgabitz's leopard print top has me smitten and seeing dots; purple and black dots, to be exact. This whole ensemble is sleek and sexy. I also like how she's all over the lariat trend.

Here's what she has on:

Shirt: Pull & Bear
Skirt: Bershka
Heels: Mudd
Necklace: Unknown
Bracelet: Unknown

Congrats to gabitzgabitz!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Trend Alert: Lariats

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Lindsay may be amused by what's on her text message but I am crushing on her long silver lariat. If a necklace were ever sexy, the lariat would be the culprit. Something about one end going through the other to make a loop is slippery sweet. I have one. It's gold and the focal point is a solid gold triangle piece. It's really cool. An ex-boyfriend gave it to me, and yes, I still wear it proudly sexy.

Beth Lauren Gold-Filled Rope Bracelet: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 14:36:33 -0700

Rachel Bilson recently sported this Beth Lauren Braided 14K Gold-Filled Rope Bracelet, $170, while out and about in Los Angeles. It can be worn as a bracelet, necklace or a lariat. I am torn about this item. I like that it's rugged and unique, but can't really see myself wearing it. What do you think?

Model cutie Chanel Iman usually wears short skirts and jeans so it's fun to see her in something so glamorous. For this special evening, she chose to wear a plunging animal print Zac Posen tiered gown, with a lariat necklace that lends major shine. Are you interested?

2008 Emmy Awards: Jennifer Love Hewitt

FabSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 19:56:48 -0700

Jennifer Love Hewitt told the E! hosts she loves Carolina Herrera so it's no surprise that she picked a dress by the designer for tonight. It's black, it's white, it's strapless, it's flowy. A diamond lariat necklace and diamond stud earrings add shine. Is it too prom or just perfect?

Celebrity Jewelry for Breast Cancer Awareness

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 17:07:30 -0700

You've probably heard that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which always gives fashion and beauty companies an excuse to release a bunch of pink ribbon-inspired products and donate the proceeds to charity. I'll admit: Even as a giver to breast cancer causes, I know it's easy to get burnt out on all of the stuff. However, there are some great products out there that let you buy something fabulous while also contributing to a cause.

One example: The Young Survivor Collection from Robyn Rhodes. The jeweler, who counts celebrities including Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria as fans, came up with the designs after being approached by Gabrielle Union, when one of the actress's close friends was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a result, 20 percent of the proceeds from the line will go to the Young Survival Coalition nonprofit. The line includes the rose quartz Gabrielle Lariat available here in gold ($95) and silver ($89). To see the matching earrings, read more

The Young Survivor Collection also includes the pink jade Kristen Earrings, available here for $51 in silver and $56 in gold.
