Love It or Hate It? Monochromatic Decorating

CasaSugar — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 10:00:55 PDT

Talk about modern, chic, and white, white, white! In last night's episode of Mad Men, Roger Sterling's new office is decked out with a chrome bar cart, a sleek Saarinen tulip table, and an overwhelmingly white palette. I actually love monochromatic color schemes, though I tend to hop from color to color in my home. How do you decorate with color?

Celeb Style: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:22 PDT

Oh, Monet. You're relatively incognito, but when you do show your face - and bod - it's refreshing and ultra styley. The actress did some shopping in London in a casual gray monochrome 'fit. Her gold-studded Topshop sweater already has me obsessed, and her faded gray jeans are rugged chic. Neutral accessories, including tan Louboutin pumps, a gold ball ring, and an adorable knit beret, are spot-on. Happy shopping, Monet!

Love It or Hate It? Monochromatic Bathroom

CasaSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:00:00 PDT

While this bathroom is certainly chic and beachy, the seagrass/sand tones of the room are a little overwhelming. Are you a fan of the monochromatic palette, or do you like a little color in your WC?

2009 Cannes Film Festival: Tilda Swinton

FabSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:00:22 PDT

Wahoo - the 2009 Cannes Film Festival has begun! It was just reported the lavish festival will be toned down this year - Vanity Fair dismissed its black-tie annual and Louis Vuitton didn't book its usual table at the amfAR dinner - but we can still expect fashion on the red carpet from the likes of Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, and the enigmatic Tilda Swinton.

Tilda is up first for your judging pleasure. Her monochrome bordeaux layered Haider Ackermann ensemble may also be toned down, but it sure is flattering. Doesn't she look so tall and statuesque? And the mix of materials is lovely.

This is just the amuse-bouche. Look forward to fetes hosted by Dolce & Gabbana and Dsquared2, guaranteed to provide controversial fashion fare.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:00:22 PDT

You gotta hand it to her. Even with Paris Fashion Week and therefore fabulous people bedecked in designer duds, I am smitten by Victoria's cool and collected navy monochrome 'fit. From her captain cap to her Louis Vuitton Luxotica heels, no one does monochrome quite like VB. She dusted off some zippered navy dVb jeans and revealed some sexy decolletage via a sheer navy tank. A femme navy cardigan added softness to the sharp ensemble. Leaving her London hotel, I'm dying to know where she went - shopping, perhaps? Nah, I bet she had some meetings to discuss her highly successful dress collection. What's your favorite part of this? My instinct goes with the funkadelic shoes, but the mad hat is an added bonus. Makes me want to raid my navy pieces all over again.

Victoria Beckham, Monochrome Aviator: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 03:24:22 PDT

We all know Victoria Beckham isn't afraid to try something new. This time, the celebrity designer took the meaning of jet-setting attire to a whole new level. A recent trip to LAX inspired Beckham to wear a gray suede trench coat and matching captain's hat by Loewe. A pair of oversize aviators, Yves Saint Laurent platform pumps, and Valentino bag complete her ensemble - all cool grays. Leave it to Victoria to show off her version of pilot chic. Do you love it or hate it?

Celebrity Style: Ginnifer Goodwin

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:00:22 PST

Ginnifer Goodwin attended the LA premiere of He's Just Not That Into You in an ensemble that dimmed her costars in comparison. The actress chose a look from Bottega Veneta's Spring '09 collection. What a stunning choice. I adore the pumpkin-colored strapless dress, but what I love more are her accompanying accessories. The amber statement necklace, tan Bottega clutch, and strappy sandals make the outfit - complementary without being matchy matchy.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Rosario Dawson

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:00:22 PST

Rosario in Bottega. A winning combination. We were pleasantly surprised by Rosario's choice to wear this monochrome Bottega Veneta look to the LA premiere of her new movie Seven Pounds. Rarely do stars attempt monochrome, and sexy monchrome at that. The camel one-sleeve crepe dress is a rare find, but the fact that it complements her skin tone so perfectly is what sealed the deal. Her crisscrossed camel Jimmy Choo sandals continued the fluid movement. To be sure she wasn't washed out, exotic Neil Lane for Arcade turquoise earrings framed her beautiful face. Speaking of framing her beautiful face, learn how to create the illusion of short hair. The other jewelry - thin gold bangles - gently sat on her wrist. Perfection personified.

Look of the Day: Miss Monochrome

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 03:00:22 PDT

Colorful ensembles have their appeal, but monochrome has a special place in my heart. Something about pairing like hues in different fabrics and textures really works. Mindorena, AKA Miss Monochrome, knows exactly what I mean. She's rocking a gray outfit polished off with gray pearls. The black flats and belt provide some contrast. Fab!

Here's what she has on:

Top: Zara
Skirt: Topshop
Belt: D&G
Shoes: Zara

Congrats to Mindorena!

Steal of the Day: Crate & Barrel Dash Lamp

CasaSugar — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:30:00 PDT

I guess I must have monochrome living on my mind, but I'm really digging the Crate & Barrel Dash Lamp ($27.95). It's not shaped like a light bulb, covered in mirrors, or even ruby red. It's just simple, masculine, and understated. I love the way the ceramic base mimics the shape of the traditional shade, and it has a subtle embellishment almost like café barware. What do you think? For under $30, you've got to admit it's an unbelievable steal.
