FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

Miss Moss in fur - how Fab. Kate walked out of a London restaurant wearing one of her favorite fur chubbies. Underneath she kept it basic: black tank, black cardigan, and black jeans. But her scuffed-up tan buckle boots and fringe Genevieve Jones bag are not-so basic. Notice the tiny emerald earrings that dress her earlobes and her prominent cocktail ring.

Womens Hidden Hills 12" Peg - $179.00	Frye Maxine Tarpunto Shorty - $298.00

Style Glossary: Bias Cut

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:30:22 -0700

Bias Cut

A garment is said to be cut on the bias when the fabric's warp and weft threads are at 45 degrees to its major seam lines; essentially, the diagonal cut of a fabric. This technique utilizes a greater stretch in the bias, thereby causing it to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. Non-woven fabrics such as felt do not have a bias. Bias-cut garments were made popular by French designer Madeleine Vionnet in the '20s and '30s.

Celebrity Style: Penelope Cruz

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Penelope Cruz had dinner with Harvey Weinstein in London, and while the studio head wore a suit, the actress kept it casual in jeans and no makeup. For the intimate occasion, Pene wore Chloe's mini star print blouse. To accessorize, she threw on small silver hoop earrings, a brown leather bag, and platform wedges. A modern take on '70s-inspired pieces - I like.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Cutie patootie Rachel Bilson spent an afternoon running errands in LA, but she didn't let a little to-do list stop her from dressing in style. Still, she maintained a level of comfort in Mayle's floral embroidered dress and flat sandals. I love that instead of Wayfarers, she threw on retro Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies to help her go incognito.

Mayle Florinda jersey dress - $475.00	Leather Knot Toe Ankle Wrap - $68.00
Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses - $129.00	Peace Sign Gold Stud Earrings - $29.50

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Nicky Hilton is all about funky printed dresses lately and why not because they look so darn good on her. In general, prints are hard to pull off, but Nicky's eye is impeccable; she chooses ones that are exotic and mature. This Fab silk Nu Collective dress she wore while out to dinner with her boyfriend is no exception. And her accessories - Jeffrey Campbell studded sandals and purple Valentino bag - do a fine job of accentuating the look.

NU Collective V Neck Tunic in D Print - $193.00	Jeffrey Campbell 'Athena' Sandal - $64.95
Set Stone Turquoise Ring - $32.00	Valentino Maison Studded Bag - $2,495.00

Fab Body Guide, Part Three: The Ideal Swimsuit For Your Special Quirks

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

We all have our special quirks. Some of us are self-conscious about having broad shoulders or maybe still working on that tummy. Don't fret, there are a lot of options to choose from to camouflage the areas you feel funny about and compliment the parts you love. Fab's here to help you find that perfect swimsuit.

To learn what kind of suits are best for broad shoulders, wide hips, the tummy conscious, and more, read more.

Broad Shoulders: While adding a pop of color, bright, wide banded bottoms will also balance and detract attention to shoulders. Avoid creating a v-neck silhouette by opting for a square neck top.
Athletic Shape: Show off a boyish figure in a halter top with feminine detailing. Prints, ruffles and side ties will add some girly curves and avoid wearing plain and solid suits.
Tummy Conscious: Tankinis and retro swimsuits can work wonders for the tummy conscious. Both styles conceal the tummy area and are fashionably cute. Stay away from solid colors and tiny bikinis.
Wide Hips: Darker bottoms paired with lighter bikini tops will detract attention from the lower half of the body. Make sure to buy a close fitting bottom to avoid adding unwanted volume to the hip area.

Fab Body Guide, Part Two: The Perfect Swimsuits For Petites

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Being petite can make finding the perfect swimsuit quite a challenge. Don't get me wrong, having a petite figure can be lots of fun! Smaller bodies can get away with loud prints and fun cuts. Avoid wearing solid colors and stay away from too much fabric.

To learn what kind of suits are best for a small bust, waist, or short legs, and to see my swimsuits picks for petites, read more

Small Bust: Colorful patterns, stripes, and ruffles can add an extra boost to your chest area. If you'd prefer a bigger lift, look to padded bikini or bandeau tops and avoid wearing too much fabric on top.
Small Waist: Add some curves to your figure by drawing attention to your waist. Banded and embellished bottoms will add extra volume to your waist creating an hourglass figure. Avoid wearing solid colors and stripes.
Short Legs: Look for high cut swimsuits, such as the monokini, that will elongate the legs. Avoid boy shorts or embellishments that will cause attention to the lower half of the body.

Wearing form-fitting jeans in the heat can cause sticky, icky situations but Gisele Bundchen took care of the problem by opting for Paige Premium Denim's Roxbury crop jeans. This is the ideal way to keep cool and show off your shoes. The model continued her streak of effortlessness by throwing on a casual but cute ivory crochet top, an airy pink scarf, and comfy white flats.
