10 Unusual Things You May Not Buy but Must See!

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 05:00:22 PDT

There are many moments in fashion when I can't believe someone made that! But that's what makes it all so fun - the industry encompasses the chic, the not-so-chic, and the flat-out bizarre. Like these chain shoes; they make Alexander McQueen's armadillo platforms look like a breeze to walk in. I may not want to own them, but I can appreciate them. Proceed to see more similarly unusual pieces, some worth considering, some totally not.

Trend Alert: Studly Blazers

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:22 PST

Nicky Hilton doesn't need an excuse to look fashionably on-trend. While running errands in LA, the cutie showed off her bad-to-the-bone side in a studly blazer by H&M. Yes, it's in your face and actually kinda amazing. These hard-core embellishments make a huge statement with any outfit, so make sure your accompaniments are clean and streamlined a la Nicky. Here's an idea: try it out as a DIY. All you need is a Bedazzler and a black blazer - done and done. Or, check out your local H&M after work today . . .

Look Book Love: Madison Marcus, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:50:22 PDT

Madison Marcus's Fall '09 collection has me crushin' like the ninth grade – you know what I mean. For the cold months ahead, the brand is keeping us warm with a supply of tweed skirts, shimmering cardigans, tailored pants, silk tops, and vintage-inspired frocks. I'm smitten with the '20s influence via intricate beading details and floaty shapes, but notice how the line evokes youthfulness through a fun, jewel-toned palette. Sometimes, you don't need to be bold to be noticed and Madison Marcus proves this perfectly. I can already see myself wearing this unique camel cowl-neck top with black skinnies and booties during a chilly Autumn day.

Trend Alert: City Stripes

Doesn't New Yorker Kelly Klein make stripes look so effortless? So chic? So city stripes? I know you've got some in the depths of your closet. It's time to reinvent them with a crisp blazer, a smart belt, and/or some wicked shoes. The most sophisticated of stripes are black or navy, but I think one can still be city cute in red or pink - it's all about the accessories and the attitude.

Trend Alert: Lightwash Leather

FabSugar — Tue, 12 May 2009 05:50:22 PDT

Why, hello back at you B. Don't you look beautiful and carefree strolling the streets of Berlin wearing a lightwash leather jacket. It adds a nice, feminine touch to the tough biker cut and also looks great against your skin tone. Enough gushing. Lucky for us, we don't have to be Beyonce to wear this luscious leather. You can, however, look to the R&B diva for styling inspiration. Notice how she paired it with a neutral top for a stunning, streamlined look. Nice. If that's not your thing, complement it with a floral frock and booties for ultimate girliness. The possibilities are endless. I already own a black and gray leather jacket, but this new color is too Fab to pass up.

Celebrity Style: Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa continues to garner Fab adoration with her adventurous style. Here she is in the streets of LA looking Spring ready. Her periwinkle large floral print Madison Marcus blouse is beautiful, while her signature J Brand skinnies lead us to a nice surprise - ivory Cole Haan booties. It's time to lighten things up, and Vanessa did just that. Her black Balenciaga moto bag and gold Ray-Ban aviators are classic, while brown beaded bracelets and chunky rings are eclectic.

The Look For Less: Madison Marcus Ruffle Leather Jacket

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:00:22 PST

In case you haven't noticed, I have a soft spot for leather jackets. Upon perusing my collection, I noticed a lack of feminine details in my leather goods. This epiphany led me to find this beautiful Madison Marcus Universe Ruffle Leather Jacket ($572). The ruffle detailing is divine but the price tag is way out of control.

Trend Alert: Cropped Sleeve Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:22 PDT

You might say it's a fashion oxymoron to wear cropped sleeve jackets, but say again. These cropped creations give your arms the ability to move more freely and make for an expert layered look.

Imagine this trench with a long-sleeved blouse top peeking out the ends. Or, go mod and color block it with a bright red turtleneck. And if it's not too cold outside, wear it alone and load on the bangles. Au revoir oxymoron.

Look of the Day: Sugar and Spice

Here's what she's wearing:

Leather Jacket: Madison Marcus
Dress: Forever 21

Feather Headband: Forever 21
Earrings: Unknown
Bag: Stephen Sprouse and Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton
