W Hotels Get Into Fashion

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:00:08 -0700

W Hotel is no longer just your go-to place for lodging. It's now also going to be your go-to spot for fashion. The hospitality chain just announced it's launching a fashion line made up of apparel and accessories. Designers such as Alex and Ani, Foley + Corina, Lauren Merkin, VIX, and Wink have been tapped as designers. "W is a design-led brand, therefore fashion is a tool to engage our guests in design. The people we're after are trendsetters and fashion-forward. We have a passion for fashion," said Eva Ziegler, global brand leader of W. The line, dubbed Global Glam, will be introduced on Sept. 10 at Fashion's Night Out.

Christina has this ability to always swoon us. She's confident, classic, and cool. Here she is at the LA premiere of Bruno looking just that. Her silk gray draped dress is appropriate for just about any event - take note - and she adds a little glam with a gold snake chain belt. Black patent wooden heeled platforms are perfectly Summery while a black clutch keeps things minimal. What a killer smile . . .

Fab Finding Followup: Tea Time!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:50:22 -0700

I don't consider myself a girlie girl, but I do enjoy the occasional tea party. Last weekend, my friend graciously hosted one at her place and all I needed to do was arrive looking as fresh as the scones. The festivities took place outdoors in her beautiful garden, so I wanted to look polished but not stuffy. I asked you to think modern day, not Stepford wife.

I started you off with this Lauren Merkin Eve Leopard Clutch ($165) because I love the Springy leopard print. Let's see what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by Brielle, incorporates fun Spring hues - I adore the yellow dress and coral heels!

Trend Alert: A Contrasting Clutch

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Not only was Alicia Key's violet Moschino dress lovely, her contrasting clutch elevated her look. I am guilty of grabbing the same old vintage black clutch when I'm running out the door, but I am inspired to consider a switcharoo, or two. Though I love my black clutch, a contrasting clutch shows the world you have fun with fashion, you don't always play it safe. You can choose to stay in the same color family, as Alicia did with purples, or join opposing forces. But notice, if it goes from contrast to clash, tone it down. Above all, have fun.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Vanessa Abrams

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Last night's episode of Gossip Girl left me sighing, "Poor Vanessa." The Brooklynite got another taste of the cruel Upper East Side when Blair and Chuck decided to cast her in their devious plan. Vanessa crossed bridges to attend a soiree hosted by the Bass family. Never one to succumb to traditional style, the brunette strutted her stuff in a unique ensemble. Vanessa's printed Eskell Dahlia dress was pretty cute, but what really caught my attention were her accessories: earrings and a ring from Alexis Bittar, a stunning Gabriela de la Vega cluster necklace, and a delectable Rosena Sami jeweled cuff. Little did Blair expect, her plan backfired, leaving Vanessa bruised but on top.

Eskell Dahlia Dress ($420)	Rosena Sammi Jewel Cuff ($500)
Charles David Bronze Peep Toe Pumps ($112)	Coccinelle Gray Leather Evening Bag ($240)
Alexis Bittar Baguette Ring ($215)	Alexis Bittar Large Oval Hoop Earrings ($120)	Gabriela Cluster Necklace ($840)

Trend Alert: Satin Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Lay down your leather and give satin handbags a whirl. The silky sheen and jewel-toned palettes give off instant swank - day or night. Clutches are always a classic choice but I dare you to try a larger shape. Or maybe a bejeweled one like this Devi Kroell Satin Frame Clutch? Swoon.

Trend Alert: Zebra Intentions

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Vivica Fox had zebra intentions at her birthday party (look at that blazing cake!) in a modern black and white St. John party dress. Halle Berry had similar intentions recently. What does that mean? These ladies are bold yet classic, wild yet sophisticated. This animal print has dimension. Here is a playful motif that works year-round, no matter when your birthday is.
