The Look For Less: J Brand Rolled Army Chinos

FabSugar — Wed, 12 May 2010 04:00:22 PDT

Are you on team green? The green trend, that is. If so, you should make room for these J Brand Santa Cruz Crop Chinos ($216) in your closet. They're exceptionally cool and comfortable, not to mention right on trend. You can dress them up with high-heeled sandals or down with flip-flops or sneakers. But, sticking to my mantra: why pay more when you can pay less?

To see the look for less,

These Martin + Osa Rolled Ghurka Pants ($35, originally $70) are a damn good substitute, right? I have them in khaki, and trust me, they feel like you have nothing on! They're rolled like the version above and slightly baggy, too. Sizes two through 10 are available, but don't lag.

Shop Pop's Fall Outfit

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:00:22 PST

Pop decided to spend her chilly months in preppy-chic J.Crew. Don't we all? Her layered look can go from college to the workforce to a movie date - pretty adorable.

Here's what she's wearing:

J.Crew Wool Schoolboy Blazer ($178)
J.Crew Frances Stripe Ruffled Tuxedo Shirt ($90)
C&C California Classic Tank - Heather Grey ($34, originally $40)
Martin + Osa Belted A-Line Corduroy Skirt ($50, originally $70)
J.Crew Skinny Cheetah Calf-Hair Belt ($55)
Chloe Cap Toe Oxford Shoes ($419, originally $695)
Pop's necklace was also J.Crew, the Scattered-Locket Necklace ($65), but it's sold out. Contact a J.Crew store or shop my alternative: Forever 21 Dual Locket Drape Necklace ($7)
J.Crew Majesty Stone Bracelet ($78)
The J.Crew Estate Link Bracelet ($58) is also unavailable - here's my pick: Ralph Lauren Link Bracelet ($58)

Stay tuned for rundowns of all the Sugar girls' new Fall outfits!

Celeb Style: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:00:22 PDT

It's official, Stella McCartney rocks my world. And, having met her, I know she's a charming person. Dude - if I could design a dreamy zebra-print sweater like that, I would be rocking it, too. Her outfit is perfect for a foggy London day. Skinny gray jeans, warm lined boots - probably the short version of her Eskimo boot - funky sunnies, and her favorite chain tote keep her cozy yet cute. Keep doing what you do, Stella.

Labor Day Special! Martin + Osa Denim + Love Shop Scarf

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:00:22 PDT

If you get the shopping itch this Labor Day weekend, consider dropping by Martin + Osa. With the purchase of Martin + Osa denim, you will receive a free exotic Love Shop scarf. I kinda love these boot fit jeans teamed with the rust/red scarf - the perfect segue-to-Fall combo. The other colors are lovely, and there are many more jean styles to explore!

Trend Alert: City Stripes

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:50:22 PDT

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: Candy Colored Times

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:50:22 PDT

Michelle Obama is a modern first lady with a keen fashion sense. But she's also a fun mom with candy colored times - and a "mouthwash" green Rick Owens jacket. Her Lavender Toy Watch ($195) proves she's lighthearted, and shall I say a bit sporty? Kinda makes me want to don a scrumptious colored watch when I'm riding waves and/or rollerskating. Fun for all!

Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

There's nothing hotter than silky orange. Not convinced? Check out Miranda Kerr at a Cannes Film Festival party with boyfriend Orlando Bloom. The Aussie model dazzled in her draped orange halter dress, cinched with a matching orange belt. I love the way her Christian Louboutin gladiator platforms lend rough sexiness, while her metallic clutch and gold jewels add pizazz. I have an orange crush all over again.

Trend Alert: Silky Shorts

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 06:50:22 PDT

Instead of going per usual with a Summer skirt, give silky shorts a try. This sultry texture emits a fancy, chic vibe. Even better, you can translate this look from day to evening with just a few funky accessories. Pair it with a tee and studded flats while touring the city and with platform sandals and a sorbet blazer for nighttime festivities. In times like this, you need a multifunctional piece. You feel me?

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 12:00:22 PDT

Nicky Hilton attended the launch party for Paige and OPI's Bright Pair collection in West Hollywood over the weekend. Considering the line is all about colored denim, it's fitting that she wore Paige Premium Denim's bright blue skinny jeans. Always one to incorporate a touch of menswear, Nicky tempered her bold bottoms via a black boyfriend blazer. Black peep-toe Christian Louboutins, a baggy white v-neck tee, and silver jewels bring the look to a nice finish.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Blazer Hunting

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 03:50:22 PDT

A reader recently wrote in asking us to help her find a sharp blazer that isn't $300. Fair enough, but despite blazers being everywhere these days, finding one that's inexpensive but doesn't look cheap can be tricky. I can't do it alone, so I asked you to help me help her.

I contributed this Martin + Osa Twill Blazer ($90, originally $130) because the soft color and boyish silhouette make it on-trend.

Look #1, created by Whiplash, features a variety of cool blazers. My favorite is the Free People one.
