FabSugar — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:30:08 -0800

This week was bursting with beautiful looks thanks to the Rome Film Festival. While some dazzled in their fancy frocks, others preferred to keep it more casual and flirty. Ashley Tisdale shined in her fun embellished Jenny Packham dress, while Margherita Missoni rocked in a pair of shiny harem pants. There's no doubt that each starlet stood out in her unique ensemble, but which look do you prefer?

Who Wore It Better? Missoni Sequined Vest

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Ashley Olsen and Margherita Missoni are friends, so it's funny that both of them wore Missoni's sequined vest. I guess some friends do dress alike! Ashley first wore it at an amFAR event back in January, with barely any accessories. Underneath it, she wore a white, silk floor-length dress that covers her shoes. Margherita opted for a little more dazzle when she wore the vest at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. The dress she paired it with is also white with small pink dots, and her oversized clutch is metallic gray. She also threw on bangles, earrings, and a necklace. Ash is characteristically understated, and Margherita is accessorized like always. Who do you think wore it better?

Simply Fab: Ileana Makri for OrphanAid Africa Bracelet

FabSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Before I go on about this Ileana Makri for OrphanAid Africa Bracelet ($640), I would like to call your attention to the reason it was created. Non-profit organization OrphanAid Africa supports orphans in Ghana and has been connected to fashion from its inception. Founder Lisa Lovatt-Smith was a former editor at Vogue magazine and designer Margherita Maccapani Missoni has given her full support by visiting Ghana and encouraging the fashion world to participate in the project.

Proceeds of this African-inspired bracelet, made of 18K gold and pavé diamonds, will help the aforementioned organization. It also comes in pink, with a single diamond ($240). If you're in the position to help, it's a worthy cause.

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Last night, when the doors of Bergdorf Goodman in NYC were closed to customers, they were opened for Margherita Missoni and her friends. Actress Joy Bryant, Bergdorf Goodman women’s fashion director, Roopal Patel, and Mickey Boardman all celebrated Missoni's Fall '08 collection together.

Margherita looked more mature than ever in a peach dress and layered tribal necklaces. Missoni's floral and zigzag confections were shown off by two models, who circled the store, allowing upper-echelon customers to touch and observe. So, observe!

Look Book Love: Corey Lynn Calter, Spring '09

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I'm always amazed at how the perfect styling job can transform simple pieces into treasures. Corey Lynn Calter's Spring look book has that kind of powerful styling. A floral mini skirt, for example, is cute, but when paired with a green dotted tank top and metallic gold Oxfords, it instantly comes to life. It's the finishing touches - the hats, jewels, footwear, layering - and nature scenes that make me want to stare at Corey Lynn Calter's look book all day long. They've taken a pretty model (doesn't she kind of look like Margherita Missoni?), put her in fun clothes, nerd glasses, funky hats, and the result is nothing short of a sweetheart.

Be Influenced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen This Holiday

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 04:30:22 -0800

In their New York Times bestseller Influence, which we've been raving about since day one, the sisters take us on a visual journey of people - photographers, designers, artists, writers, icons - who have influenced them. Considering the girls have already embarked on several successful fashion adventures: The Row, Elizabeth and James, Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James jewelry, and soon-to-come Elizabeth and James shoes, I was curious to see what, and who, influences them.

The book is full of eye candy and insight into the lives of the two powerhouses. The photography and collage pages are brilliant. The Olsens conduct their own interviews with friends like Margherita Missoni, GIambattista Valli, John Galliano and each other. The book is fashion-heavy - it's fabulous. And, we are giving away eight autographed, yes autographed, copies so you too can experience Mary-Kate and Ashley's Influence.
