On Our Radar: New York Look Shuts Down Operation For Now

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:00:08 -0800

Yet another change has been made to New York Fashion Week. One of our fashion bibles, New York Look, has announced that it will not publish a Spring issue this year. That means no special Fashion Week coverage in New York, Paris, or Milan. Instead, coverage will appear in the regularly syndicated Fall fashion issue of its parent publication, New York magazine. Whether or not New York Look will produce a Fall issue is still unknown. A spokeswoman for New York magazine states it "will revisit the publishing of the stand-alone Look in the Fall of 2009.” Sigh, another one bites the dust.

The Look For Less: Kenneth Cole New York Paperbag Skirt

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:00:22 -0800

I'm all for paperbags. Not all styles out there are flattering, but when they are, they can be totally enticing. During my search, I stumbled upon this Kenneth Cole New York Fold Down Waist Skirt ($60, originally $80). I thought, this is perfect for a job interview or an afterwork happy hour. The price isn't too bad, but I have a better option up my sleeve.

Ladies, you're looking at one of the most affordable and stylish paperbag skirts out there. This New York & Co. Woven Paper Bag Skirt was cheap to begin with but is now on sale for $18. I know, so cool. I love how it hugs the hips and gets subtly slimmer at the bottom. For a casual approach, I would pair it with a fitted t-shirt and slick booties. It also comes in black for those who seek sexy.

Fab Read: New York Look Book, A Gallery of Street Fashion

If you want to feel as though you're walking up and down the streets of New York City, invest in New York Look Book: A Gallery of Street Fashion by Amy Larocca ($25). You'll see over 200 unique looks without actually having to travel, or walk. However, if you want to take advantage of the book's recommended boutiques, then you'll obviously have to go there . . . which won't be so bad considering it's the most fashionable apple in the country!

The Look For Less: Brochu Walker Cable Wrap Vest

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Menswear vests are still in, but now is the ideal time to cozy up to a cable-knit sweater vest. It whispers Fall, and keeps you warm enough without suffocating. You can wear it over a tank to show off your arms or a long-sleeve tee when it gets super chilly. This Brochu Walker Cable Wrap Sweater Vest ($385) is blissful and beautiful, but I'm not paying that much for a vest. Movin' on . . .

I admit, this New York & Co. Belted Cable Sweater Vest ($28, originally $40) doesn't look as cozy, but for such a major price cut, it will do. It has the same serene hue and can be wrapped around your body for warmth. It also comes in wine, black, and heather gray. Alloy has a gray version that's really nice, too. For a tinge of severity, I would wear it over rockin' liquid leggings and booties.

There's a way to wear a blazer, and then there's a way to wear a blazer. AshLeeTa is rocking her bold blazer like I've never seen. I love that it demands all the attention in the ensemble. The strong shoulders, rolled-up sleeves, sharp black hue . . . right on!

lilrae looks warm and cozy in her tan suede boots, jeans, and turtleneck sweater. In fact, she looks so warm and cozy, I'm tempted to leave my computer and go curl up in bed! I love that she added a big patent bag to finish off her ensemble, a great sophisticated accessory to polish off this look.

Here's what she's wearing:

Sweater: New York & Company
Jeans: Gap
Boots: Charlotte Russe
Scarf: Forever 21
Bag: Gift (vintage)

Congrats to lilrae!

FABTV: Bryan Adams "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me is You"

FabSugar — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 13:00:22 -0700

To add to my enthusiasm for attending New York fashion week I thought I could bring you some runway-inspired FABTV!

As you are reading this I am probably en route to the Big Apple. So I'll pretend to close my eyes and envision the saturated scene that is Bryan Adams "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me is You" video. Who knew Bryan was so fashionable? With the acid brights and runway full of the usual fashion characters: models, drag queens, models who look like drag queens - it's sort of like a Heatherette show! (Which I will be attending next week, btw). A polished Bryan takes breaks in the bathroom while the runway tickles our senses. May each show I attend be filled with excitement, theatrics and, of course, fabulous clothes!

Do You Approve of Project Runway's Final Three?

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Last night's Project Runway challenge wasn't necessarily the hardest, but it was the most pressure-filled. It was the last stop before Bryant Park - the remaining five designers were asked to create a look inspired by the Getty Museum in LA. Art, architecture, nature, and furniture all provided fodder for their work. I wasn't blown away by any of the looks, but in the end, Carol Hannah, Irina, and Althea won. Christopher and Gordana were sent home. Do you approve of the final three? Do they have the chops to blow us away at New York Fashion Week? Vote below, then continue the conversation inside our Project Runway Fanatics group.
