In Your Clutches!

FabSugar — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 13:55:44 -0700

I'm not really a fan of clutches for the everyday, because I like to be able to carry everything I need, but they're great for special occasions or going out - when I don't need to lug a whole lot of stuff around!

This week's Life and Style takes a page out of Mary Kate's book and shows how her Miu Miu clutch (which I love, btw), can be good for day or night. So I had fun seeing what clutches I could come up with that would easily translate from day to night and back again!

Studly Earrings!

FabSugar — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 12:00:33 -0700

The great thing about earrings is that they never go out of style - and in fashion, that's almost unheard of! This week's Life and Style takes inspiration from Cameron Diaz's cool dangly earrings; they found some way cute options - I especially love the Alexis Bittar teardrops!

Be Bold!

FabSugar — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:24:08 -0700

It looks like the bold hues that were all over the MTV Movie Awards weren't just coincidental: adding punch to an outfit with a shock or two of color is evolving into a full-fledged summer trend! This week's Life and Style takes inspiration from SJP's brightly colored accessories and put together a few adorable options. I especially love the red patent bag!

Shoes, Shoes And More Shoes!

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 09:32:08 -0800

Want to know what the hottest, bestselling shoes are right now? I thought this spread in this week's Life & Style was a colorful, super yummy shoe story. We all know Glam-o-Rama Gal Christina Aguilera loves her Christian Louboutins so check out which other shoes are strutting off the shelves. What I love about this is there is something for every taste so take your pick! I happen to be on a shoe binge right now - I bought three new pairs last weekend. I was happy to see one of them on here: the zebra print ones from Nine West, though I got them in leopard print.

To see the new additions to my shoe family and since you can't see the print here very well, to see what all the shoes shown here are, read more

Last night's Hollywood Life 6th Annual Style Awards brought out a gaggle of fashionably dressed stars. Lauren Conrad, Amber Valletta, Sophia Bush, and Selena Gomez were just some of the Fab attendees. There was a lot of black on the red carpet, but Lauren brightened things up in her floral Mara Hoffman frock. Step past the velvet rope to see some gorgeous frocks and to witness the after-party fun.

FabSugar Exclusive! Taylor Jacobson, A Lady Who Lunches . . . With an Edge

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:45:22 -0800

All good things must come to an end. And that includes Rachel Zoe's work relationship with her platinum-blond style associate, Taylor Jacobson. You either loved her or hated her - but you have to admit you loved her wardrobe. I couldn't shut up about her awesome jackets; Chanel, Dries van Noten, Balenciaga, sigh. You may recall I spoke with Rachel at the beginning of this last season of The Rachel Zoe Project and she shared that Taylor has a heart of gold. I'm sure Taylor's leaving Rachel Zoe was melancholy for all parties involved - the two have worked together since January 2005. I know I will miss drooling over her jackets and watching her and Brad's banter.

We caught up with Taylor this week, and though she didn't divulge details about her departure, she has a positive outlook on life - something we seldom see from the show's supposed villain. And, can I just add, Taylor gives Fab favorite Diane Kruger props for having stellar style - great minds . . . Listen up.

What should we expect to see from you in the next year?

I look forward to exploring styling on my own and the new opportunities and experiences it is going to bring.

Who are your go-to designers right now?

Chris Benz, Alexander Wang, and Prabal Gurung.

Whose style do you admire?

I think Diane Kruger has great style and even more impressive is that she does it herself.

To read the rest of the interview and to see a gallery of Taylor on TRZP, read more.

How would you describe your style?

Ladies who lunch with an edge.

Has being on TV changed your style at all?

No. I think I have always been true to my sense of style.

What was your last big splurge?

I’m trying to be recession savvy at the moment.

What are the most ridiculous trends right now?

I don’t think that anything is ridiculous, you can always make something work with the right styling.

I will never be caught dead in . . .

There is nothing I won’t try.

Most overrated designer? Most underrated?

I respect the art form of design, and I think they should all be respected for sharing their art with us.

Have you ever considered designing your own line of clothing or accessories?

At this point I’m entertaining all ideas. I am walking into this new chapter with an open mind.

FabSugar — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 06:00:22 -0700

In this week's Life & Style we are exposed to the best-selling heels right now. I love it when they do this sort of thing, because, well, I love any colorful lineup of fabulous shoes, but I thought some of them were ho-hum. So I went out and put together my own assembly line of some of the most Fabworthy pumps out there, in a range of prices. All you need to accompany these is the perfect LBD and va va voom Hollywood hair and voila: you are a force to be reckoned with.
