Dress Me Up: Pretty Pillow Talk

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Fashion should not turn off just because your eyes close at night. Not to scare you, but what if something odd happens and you're forced to run outside? Or, what if your favorite bed buddy surprises you at 3 a.m.? I'm not suggesting wearing a cocktail dress or stacked bangles to bed. I'm merely saying if it's comfortable and cute, but not marked sleepwear, wear it anyway.

Like this Only Hearts Metallic Skinny Tank ($66). It's not a traditional pajama, but how shiny would you look sleeping in it? Live a little, even in your sleep!

Celebrity Style: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:30:22 -0700

Mandy Moore looked very au natural at the Mercedes-Benz Bridgehampton Polo Challenge in Long Island over the weekend. Her gold knit dress is flattering but I'm glad she chose to pair it with those white sassy wedge sandals! Without them, the ensemble would be quite snooze-worthy. She tops it all off with some chunky jewels...she's literally golden!

Fab Site: Bloomingdales.com Got a Facelift!

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:11:22 -0700

A long time web shopper, I have always been frustrated with Bloomingdales online. I never thought their site emulated the upscale look and selection Bloomies carries. To my surprise, the retailer has made an effort to refresh their face on the web. The new Bloomies has a black background, appears better organized than before, and has a more upscale allure. Check out the homepage:

They have joined other savvy retailers like Fab favorites Neiman Marcus and Net-a-Porter by drawing you in with a beautiful home page. New features include a Designer Spotlight (currently Tory Burch), The Trend Shop, and Spotlight On: Prom (where there are some great frocks!). You can then shop by Designers, Women, Shoes & Handbags, Beauty, Men, Home, Jewelry & Accessories, Kids, Sales & Values, Shop Catalogs, Bridal Registry and Gifts. The photography has improved too; it's not as catalogy and more high fashion.

Big improvements for Bloomingdale's if you ask me, let's hope they keep it coming! In the meantime, to see some of my picks, read more

A Fashion Tribute: The Tidey Whitey

Here is a fashion tribute to the tidey whitey. While lingerie brands such as Agent Provocateur have the racy lingerie genre covered, whatever happened to the simplicity of a sweet, white cover up? We've seen them throughout history - from Janet Leigh in 'Bye Bye Birdie' to Sigourney Weaver's eerie exposé scene in 'Alien' to Calvin Klein's infamous underwear ads. No doubt the tighty whitey is a classic, maybe it's just taking a hiatus.

To see a few of my all time favorites when you just want to keep it clean and pure, read more

Emanuel Ungaro Calls Lindsay's Collab a Disaster

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:30:22 -0800

You weren't the only one hating Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Arch's heart pasties: Emanuel Ungaro despised them, too. The designer, who parted ways with his namesake label back in 2005, has kept mum about the collaboration - until now. In a recent press conference, Ungaro stated, "Lindsay Lohan's collaboration was a disaster. I am furious but I can't do anything about it."

Ungaro continues, stating that the Paris fashion house "is in the process of losing its soul. That happens to a lot of designers. We were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our souls," said the designer. Sad.

Steve Madden's Fresh Clothing Venture

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

I heart Steve Madden. Not only are its shoes rad, but reasonably priced, too. You can imagine my excitement when I found out the brand has teamed up with L’Koral Industries to create a fresh clothing collection. “They really understand my design aesthetic and the Steve Madden brand identity,” said Steve Madden. Like his footwear, the clothing line exudes fun and flirtation via an array of floral prints, zippered skirts, boyfriend blazers, and adorable ruffles. Launch details and price points are to be determined . . .

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Return of the One Piece

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:30:22 -0700

Perfect timing. After this Summer, I decided I need a new one piece. Though I am a skimpy bikini girl at heart, there are times when a one piece is in order. Be it a swanky pool party or chillin' poolside with the fam, the return of the one piece is upon us. Brian Reyes sent out delicate seersuckers, Derek Lam posh loungers, even sexy fashion beast Herve Leger turned down the volume with a printed baby-blue laser-cut suit. If anyone can prove one pieces can be equally as sexy as two, it's Michael Kors and his clear plastic cut-out noir creation. If only I could have that model's chiseled cheekbones, too . . .

Then again, doesn't every girl have one badass bone in her body? This Guess Rock Rolla Mesh Spike Bracelet looks like it costs a pretty penny, but it's actually only $35. I'll take it.
