Trend Alert: The Trench Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I've always been a fan of Ginnifer Goodwin's sleek style. She manages to give simple pieces a unique twist. Case in point: her Camilla and Marc silk trench dress. Wearing her jacket as a dress alludes to mystery. Is she or isn't she wearing something underneath? Only the wearer remains the wiser.

The trick to pulling this off is wearing a thinner trench made out of silk, satin, or a light cotton. That way, it looks more like a dress, and less like a coat. There are also a couple of "real" trench dresses available for those who don't like drafts. Me? I already own a light cotton trench, so layering it with a thin slip should do the trick.

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:00:08 -0700

You've seen most of the front stage at New York Fashion Week. Now it's time to go to the back, where designers are putting finishing touches on their creations and models are getting dolled up. This gorgeous foursome posed right after getting their makeup done at Nicole Miller. It's a highly stressful place to be right before a show, but backstage is simultaneously thrilling. Celebs, models, designers, press - it's a necessary madhouse. Ready? Grab your pass, let's go!

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Sienna Miller stood out amongst major fashion heads last night at the NYC premiere of The September Issue wearing an icy-blue confection by Thakoon. I love how the ruched strapless bodice and short hemline emotes major flirt factor. For extra panache, the cover star wore gold Jimmy Choo sandals, chandelier earrings, clear Lennon-esque sunnies, and a fancy Bottega Veneta woven clutch. No doubt, Sienna's on fire with her recent red-carpet creations.

Celeb Style: Rumer Willis

Rumer Willis attended the Spread premiere in LA in support of step-dad Ashton Kutcher, donning a beautiful crinkled Karen Millen metallic dress - j'adore the texture. To offset her fancy flow, she toughened things up with a pair of funky Christian Louboutin Paquita gladiator sandals, stacked bangles, and a satin clutch. The ideal mix of pretty and punk.

Techno Brocade Combo Dress - $475.00	Jessica Simpson "Kambodia" Gladiator Sandal - $79.00
Celina Textured Bangle Set - $4.80	Satin derby clutch - $59.50

Nicole Miller Draped Firecracker Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:45:22 -0700

With a name like firecracker, this Nicole Miller Draped Firecracker Dress ($219, originally $365) is the perfect way to celebrate the Fourth. Or is it? It will definitely make you stand out from the crowd, but will it also make you detract from the real fireworks? The colors and print are unique but I'm not so sold on the drape front. I would have preferred a more fitted, sexier version. Perhaps a miniskirt. What do you say?

Trend Alert: Secret Sequins

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

There's this theory that sequins can be too flashy and thus trashy. If a glimmering Alexander McQueen head-to-toe bodysuit is freaky to you, secret sequins may strike your fancy. Kate Walsh donned Stella McCartney's nude tank with gray ombre jeans and she looks friggin' fantastic. And we weren't even there. I'd imagine the sparkles radiated in the Monte Carlo sun. Ever so subtly, though, that's the secret.

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:00:22 -0700

I know what you're thinking: I can't believe it's already April. My friends, April is one of the best months! Spring has sprung, Summer is around the corner, you still have time to get in shape, and you have plenty of resources to assemble your warm-weather wardrobe. Sales are already sprouting and the sun is shining. What is there to complain about? Niente. My eyes are locking on optimistic goods, like these insanely fun Fendi strappy patent two-tone sandals ($615). Revel in it.

March Shopping Madness! Candy-Colored Metallics

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Metallics, metallics. Been there, done that. Don't let me be misunderstood, j'adore the flash and fun of metallics, but life must go on. Fashion must evolve. And so, candy-colored metallics have emerged. Femme rose gold, glam purple, striking green, and cool blue are the new metallic hues. Come Fall it's going to be a full-on candy store so get a grip on this trend while it's cool - before it's hot.

Celebrity Style: Renee Zellweger

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Last night, Renee Zellweger showed her support for ex-Nina Ricci design head Olivier Theyskens and shined in a ravishing red Nina Ricci dress and suede Louboutin pumps. Her sizzling hot look is nothing short of perfection; I like how she added extra dazzle by wearing a bright red cocktail ring. It's simultaneously sultry and sophisticated. Awesome.
