Celeb Style: Vanessa Hudgens

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:00:22 -0700

Vanessa was spotted in Santa Monica wearing Rachel Zoe's must-have accessory: the floppy hat! Notice how it elevates her cool burnout tee and denim combo. A pair of brown buckled wedges, layered gold chains, and a black Balenciaga satchel complete her casual cool Cali ensemb. I think I need a floppy hat, too . . .

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2010: What Did Fab Pack?

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:00:22 -0800

I'm ready to go. Unfortunately, a powerful lady called Mother Nature is hanging up my New York Fashion Week. Flights are delayed, shows postponed, due to a big Winter storm happening right now. But I'm all packed! I'm based out of San Francisco and therefore travel to NYC every Fashion Week. Packing has always been a challenge. Isn't it the worst when you really want to wear something on a trip and you didn't bring it? That used to happen to me all the time at Fashion Week - and when what you wear is imperative to making an impression, it blows. I also used to bring too much. For some reason I didn't feel like I could wear something twice . . . Reality check: I've got tons of great clothes, laundry is possible, and no one is really looking at me; it's all about who's in the front row. Plus, I like to be comfortable and am constantly in motion. I went from bringing three pairs of heels to one - strictly for parties. These days, February Fashion Week is all about vintage coats, cashmere, black, blue, cool layers, sequins and embroidery, exotic prints, flirty skirts, flats boots, favorite jewelry, and fresh hats. One large suitcase and one small, which carries my outerwear and trusty laptop. Want to see exactly what I packed?

Celeb Style: Michelle Trachtenberg

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 11:00:08 -0800

Gossip Girl Michelle Trachtenberg's cunning, casual 'fit caught me dead in my clicks this morning. While grabbing a cup of joe, she layered up in a striped tee, oatmeal cardi, and cool print scarf - I love the toasty color scheme. Black jeans temper the warm tones, while brown boots and a dark green Balenciaga bag add a luxe touch.

The Look For Less: Paige Denim Black Label Skinny Leather Pants

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It takes a while to warm up to leather pants because of their motorcycle-biker connotation, but surprisingly, a lot of you would wear them. My philosophy is less biker, more rocker, with a feminine twist. I have a pair of liquid leggings, but pants are cool because you can wear them with more cropped tops. These Paige Denim Black Label Skinny Leather Pants ($398) would be heavenly with an airy ivory chiffon blouse and a loose cardigan. But since I don't need real leather, I found a faux pair that's equally chic and not as pricey.

Trend Alert: Denim de Blanco

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Fab may be going through a white phase. But let's admit: white is white hot! Especially when Gisele is wearing denim de blanco (and a Phillip Lim blouse. I actually lived in my cropped white jeans last weekend and made it to Sunday night without a spot. If you're resistant to the heat, I recommend a slim cut, no matter what your body type. Or, a slight boot cut. And heels always slim one right up. We can't all look like Gisele in this Summer staple, but we can sure try.

Calling All Jean-Loving Twilight Fanatics!

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 06:50:11 -0700

Do you think it's a mystical coincidence Selena Gomez is dating Twilight's Taylor Lautner and wearing Paige's Eclipse jeans? Think you're the biggest Twilight fan(atic)? Think again. Show your vamp pride by picking up a pair of Paige's Eclipse jeans ($165). I happen to be reading the third book as I write so it's also a mystical coincidence that I bring you the 411. These jeans aren't all talk - the wash is a deep, navy blue made of Paige’s signature stretch denim infused with XLA Luxury Stretch Fiber, meaning they stretch both horizontally and vertically. Bet all that stretch comes in handy when you're cutting a rug with a werewolf . . .

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Her hotness Claudia Schiffer never ceases to amaze me with her delectable street style. The Super dropped her kids off at school in London in an outfit that's laid-back yet unmistakably stylish. Up top she kept cozy in a leopard print sweater and a tan suede coat, and broke up the neutral tones via black skinny jeans. Square tortoise D&G sunnies, a tan Chloe messenger bag, and tan suede booties all fit into the 'fit seamlessly.

Fab Finding Followup: Tea Time!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:50:22 -0700

I don't consider myself a girlie girl, but I do enjoy the occasional tea party. Last weekend, my friend graciously hosted one at her place and all I needed to do was arrive looking as fresh as the scones. The festivities took place outdoors in her beautiful garden, so I wanted to look polished but not stuffy. I asked you to think modern day, not Stepford wife.

I started you off with this Lauren Merkin Eve Leopard Clutch ($165) because I love the Springy leopard print. Let's see what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by Brielle, incorporates fun Spring hues - I adore the yellow dress and coral heels!

To see the rest, read more.

Look #2, created by hil34, is simplistically sassy. I can never resist white jeans.

Look #3, created by EllaB, evokes tropical thoughts. Those shoes are amazing!

The Look For Less: Paige Denim Hyde Park Skinny Leather Pant

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:00:22 -0800

Ever since I saw Angelina Jolie in leather pants, I've been wanting a pair of my own. After hours of perusing, I found these Paige Denim Hyde Park Skinny Leather Pants ($595). The straight-leg cut is ideal for my shape and I like the nondescript detailing. Alas, leather is expensive and I can't fathom spending this much on such a trendy piece.

To see the look for less, read more.

Thank goodness for faux! It's much cheaper and animal-friendly. These Express Faux Leather Pants ($50) are awesome. They have the same cut and simple styling as Paige's without the hefty price tag. Is it just me, or is Express coming back on top? I'm just sayin'.

Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:00:08 -0800

Cameron Diaz stopped cuddling with her sexy man Paul Sculfor long enough to give us a glimpse of her outfit. For a recent date night in LA, the actress did casual cool, wearing a comfy gray top, an exotic scarf, and peg-leg jeans. So as not to appear too kickback, Cameron accessorized with gray and black Mary Jane pumps and a skinny silver belt. Girlfriends, take note that she complements her man's outfit without being matchy matchy.
