Trend Alert: Leather Trimmings

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:00:22 -0800

I live in my wooly jackets in the Winter, but they're not the most exciting crop of coats. If you feel me, try one with leather trimmings. This slick embellishment adds a dose of refinement to outerwear without losing warmth. I like how the leather trimming gives this Mackage Short Notch Collar Wool Coat ($883) a sharp appeal. Now you have no excuse to sacrifice style for comfort.

Celebrity Style: Kate Mara

I'm not the only one who hit up Target's Bullseye Bodega in Manhattan in search of cheap and chic finds. A gaggle of stars like Kate Mara also did some shopping last night. The actress, who's been spotted in the front rows of Fashion Week, channeled a rocker chick in her black leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and layered chain necklace. Her Brian Reyes belted linen top, funky tweed clutch, and metallic platform sandals inject some color to the mix.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Cutie patootie Rachel Bilson spent an afternoon running errands in LA, but she didn't let a little to-do list stop her from dressing in style. Still, she maintained a level of comfort in Mayle's floral embroidered dress and flat sandals. I love that instead of Wayfarers, she threw on retro Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies to help her go incognito.

Trend Alert: Seeing Colorful Spots

FabSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

This next trend might have you seeing colorful spots. Don't worry, it's not the measles or chicken pox! If black and tan animal prints aren't bold enough for ya, this Summer's take on animal prints are roaring with bright, electric hues. Attempt a yellow, green, or even hot pink animal print frock like this one from Just Cavalli and take a walk on the wild side.

Trend Alert: Surface Tension

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

We've been monitoring the competition for the next big accessory. Let's just say there's some surface tension going on. While I'm still lusting after shoes, you guys are swooning for bags. We can all break the surface tension by wearing lovelies sprinkled with animal skins, studs, bows, tassels, rhinestones and even stars. Chanel (pictured) created the perfect fusion of adornment and adoration - the perfect tension tamer.

The Bag To Have: Mayle Jeanne Bag

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:00:22 -0700

Many people outspokenly condemn "It" bags. That's because trendy bags have a very short arm life. Don't get me wrong, designer purses have their place - I'm guilty of owning a few myself - but there's nothing better than paying a hefty price for a bag and being able to use it for a lifetime.

This Mayle Jeanne Bag, $495, grabbed my attention for that reason. Not only is it the perfect size, it's also worth the money because it's simple and unfussy. The gold chain strap adds a bit of flair and the subtle patchwork leather is unique. It comes in black, iris, lilac grey and nude (pictured).

Can't you just see yourself carrying it today, tomorrow and for years to come?

Trend Alert: Tailored Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:00:22 -0700

Hello woman! I know I'm not alone in my excitement about Fall's sophisticated, ladylike offerings. If you were always a trapeze dress hater, find your salvation in tailored dresses.While volume was definitely a player on the runways, so was a streamlined look. As we learned from America Ferrera, you don't have to be rail thin to work a tailored frock - another downside of the trapeze silhouette. (Obviously I'm an advocate here) - a tailored dress is classic, a staple every wardrobe should have. With the 50s style vibe these deliver, have fun with your face and play up with bright red lips or smoky eyes. Smokin'!
