Trend Alert: Colourful Lips For Spring

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:30:00 -0700

OK, so bold, bright fruit-punch coloured lipstick isn't groundbreaking for Spring, but it sure was a welcome change from all of the barely made up faces that we saw on the catwalks during New York Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Designers like Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Derek Lam, Rebecca Taylor and more have incorporated colourful lips into the beauty styles at their shows. Take a peek at 13 fun lipstick looks here!

Fall Glimpse: Haute Houndstooth

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I know what you're going to say: houndstooth isn't a trend, it's a classic. So true. But what happens when a classic is Preen-ified? You get this wicked little dress. Or when McQueen takes it for a dark spin? Houndstooth like you've never seen it before. We already had a reader rework this classic. Preen, McQueen, Sugar stylists - now it's your turn. My approach would be edgy, an effort to rock houndstooth's world even further.

Fab Ad: Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Does Marc Jacobs have a new obsession? First Sri Lankan songstress M.I.A. DJed his runway after party last month, and now she appeared in the ad campaign for his Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line, so it sure seems like it.

Her colorful, funky on-stage style complements the bold background prints and vivid colors appearing in these Juergen Teller-shot ads. Overall, do they make you smile? Or do they hurt your eyes?

Spring Peek: Nostalgia

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

Many fashion houses dipped into the archives for Spring inspiration. We all have fantasies of being a Pink Lady from Grease, a swinger in the '60s, or a flower child from the '70s. Retro looks have been updated with fresh fabrics and modern flourishes - see the PYTs at Blugirl (pictured). If you had your pick, which girl from the past would you be? Me? What I would give for one night at Studio 54.

Hayden Panettiere Loves Her Some Shoes

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:00:22 -0800

On the Heroes set, Hayden Panettiere spends most of her time in a cheerleading uniform, but what does she like to wear when it's up to her to choose? She sat down for the February Lucky cover and spilled on her favorite color - "bright, exotic, greenish blue," her favorite brands, and more, all while trying on every single pair of shoes on-set at the LA photoshoot. Love her cover look? Enter to win it here!

Here are the highlights:

On being a shoe girl: "I'm kind of obsessive about really stunning heels. I get excited even taking the elevator up to the shoe floor at Bergdorf's . . . I'm short, so I'm always on the hunt for cute shoes with a little extra height."
On her style: "Right now my style is very frenetic. It seriously changes as quickly as my mood. . . . I've only recently been able to try out a bunch of different styles without feeling like I'm dressing beyond my age."

On her brand preferences: "Cynthia Rowley designs ideal party dresses. They're just the right mix of girly, casual, and sophisticated. Alice + Olivia makes classic, well-tailored pieces with cool twists. . . . The new Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring cardigans are completely fun. I want to buy all of them."

Fab Flash: Barneys Opens in San Francisco

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 14:00:22 -0700

The long-awaited opening of Barneys in San Francisco has finally arrived! The luxury flagship now occupies a six-floor building in the downtown Union Square district, stocking everything from designer collections on the third floor to women's contemporary wear (think Helmut Lang and Marc by Marc Jacobs) on the Co-op floor.

Residents of Las Vegas and Scottsdale, Arizona, sit tight, the love is coming your way: Barneys is planning on opening a Sin City flagship in several months, and one in Scottsdale in 2009.

I had the honor of attending the opening party last night, and though it wasn't at the store, in a tent-like spread at Union Square park, it was in the spirit of Barneys' "Taste, Luxury, Humor." With go go dancers in disco-ball inspired unitards, a traveling pack of flappers and a massive disco ball hanging over the dance floor it was super fun. Stay tuned for partysugar's inside look over at Yum. And here I am, with a flapper-inspired look myself, and a fashionable buddy on the dance floor. Yay for Barneys San Francisco!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Marc by Marc Jacobs

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:00:22 -0700

Leave it to Marc to design a collection that stands out from the gaggle of ultra-feminine New York Fashion Week pieces. You'll find no flowy and frilly here. What you will find are tailored pant suits, A-line dresses, military coats, pleats, lace, boxy blazers, high-waisted trousers, plaid and hats...lots and lots of hats.

But wait! Doesn't this all remind you of his Le Smoking Fall Marc Jacobs collection? The primary colors, military references and plethora of hats? I say yay, for those of us who loved it (present!) but could never afford it. Now, there's hope.

Commencing, there were lots of brights, mostly in the form of bold Marc red. Though it's hard to categorize the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring girl, one thing is for certain: she's a world-traveler, ready with suitcase and class!

London Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Marc by Marc Jacobs

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 15:22:44 -0800

One of my faves, Marc Jacobs, debuted his Marc collection in London this time around and it was a sweet finale to London Fashion Week. Why London? Possibly to celebrate the opening of his first London store? I think so.

With models resembling urban ice-skating princesses, this collection got my Spring-anticipating self back in Winter mode. Some Fall trends showed up: plaid, fur, velvet and grey, while Marc added his own youthful flair with pom pom berets and cozy layering. Warm woolies and Nordic prints are sure to be bestsellers as well as adorable, yet grown up, coats. The color palette managed to be both warm and cool; textures were mostly heavy but an ivory silk lightened the mood. I don't think the cropped high waisted pants (especially with suspenders) will go over as well as say, the flirty pleated wool skirts or hands free bags. Although Selma Blair looked pleased, sporting a platinum-do in the front row. A chili pepper tailored dress with tied belt was a standout and I am a sucker for toggle closures and cropped sleeves. Oh! And check out the cutie patootie ice-skating-esque boots.
