Look of the Day: Sunshine Daydream

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:50:22 PDT

I'm a sucker for a jean jacket, and shiamay wears hers with conviction. This look is a good transitional example; she's layered and cozy, but still manages to show some skin. Cool shades, perfect for an afternoon sunshine daydream.

Here's what she has on:

Jacket: MNG
Shirt: Colours (Malaysian Brand)
Skirt: Krisp
Boots: Aldo
Bag: Aldo

Congrats to shiamay!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Fab Ad: Penelope and Monica Cruz For MNG Mango

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:00:22 PST

As promised here is the new batch of Penelope and Monica Cruz's ads for their new collection for MNG Mango. Shot by Mert and Marcus, the women play with sexuality. In one shot they aim for sexy androgyny and in the other vivid candy apple flirtation. I think these look wonderfully all American; like from the pages of Vogue. Here's a fun game: Try to figure out which sister is which. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the sisterly resemblance is uncanny. What's more, these clothes are cute! They look classic, but fun, and aren't too trendy. The new 38-piece collection for Mango will hit stores mid-February.

If you're wondering about the fate of Penelope and her sister Monica's collection for MNG Mango, a second round is set to hit select Mango stores mid-February.

Mas on Penelope and Monica Cruz for MNG Mango Limited-Edition Collection

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 04:00:22 PDT

You may have been blown away by the uncanny resemblance of the Cruz sisters - weren't we all - but we're blown away by their upcoming limited-edition collection for MNG Mango. When we first heard about Penelope and sister Monica's fashion endeavor we were skeptical, what with all the recent celebrity-turned-designers. But after seeing the sultry duo in pieces from their collection, I'm pretty stoked!

Word on the street is the collection will hit stores September 19 and consist of red-carpet-inspired evening wear, jeans, knits and daywear, based on vintage pieces from their own wardrobes. According to Penelope:

“This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. We just had to find the right people to do it with. We’ve always loved clothes – we used to hide in the bathroom with fashion magazines and say, ‘I want that one.’ We’d get a pencil and mark the pictures, and show how we’d transform them at home.”

Crafty and beautiful - say it isn't so. I think this celeb sister tag team may be giving another sister designer team a run for their money, ahem Miller sisters. The Cruz sisters definitely have sex appeal and juicy pouts but, most importantly, what do you all think of the clothes?!

Fab Flash: The Cruz Sisters Are Designing Women

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:21:22 PDT

No way! Is this every pair of sisters' dream or what? I've just heard that Penélope Cruz and her younger sis Monica are set to design a 25 item clothing collection for the Spanish chain Mango. The line will include accessories and also feature an ad campaign in which Pen and Mon will star.

This is not the sisters' first attempt at design. In the past, they have also created jewelry and handbags for the Japanese company, Samantha Thavasa. However, this is their first stab at clothing.

Mango approached the Cruz sisters in their attempt to expand their presence in the U.S. The plan is to roll out 250 new stores over the next ten years.

To read what Penélope has to say,

"I select every item, color and size myself. It's a reflection of my taste and what I wear. There is a mix of casual fashion, a few party dresses and accessories at decent prices."

Celebrities Who Played Designer in 2007

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:00:22 PST

Celebrities have become a designing powerhouse in their own right, and in 2007, more Fab faces joined the fray. Mary-Kate and Ashley added cool contemporary line Elizabeth and James; SJP launched the budget-friendly Bitten at Steve & Barry's; Gwen's little L.A.M.B. made a runway comeback; Lauren Conrad reached her dream of becoming a designer; and both Sienna Miller and Penelope Cruz teamed with their sisters to cull up some seriously sizzlin' clothes. Admittedly: some of them were hits and some were misses. You all know how much I look to Celebrity Style for inspiration, so here's to hoping 2008 brings just as many fun collaborations!
