FabSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:00:22 -0800

It's a holiday party frenzy out there! Every time I turn around, there's another party to attend; not that I'm complaining, I love an excuse to wear a Fab new dress.

I thought it would be fun to share holiday party ensembles of both past and present in the Look Book. I have uploaded some of my faves for you to have a gander at. Please upload your most Fab holiday party looks to the Look Book and if I feature you on Fab you'll get a special holiday treat!

Help Party Up the Look Book by submitting your past and present holiday party ensembles and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Sequin Style

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 11:05:52 -0800

Sequins are back! They evoke that groovy disco style that screams, "wear me on New Year's Eve!" Here are a few simple but dazzling, dancing dresses that flatter all pretty party ladies.

This Foley Sequined Chemise is a swingy and sexy cocktail dress. The sequins are iridescent and shine hints of blue and pink tones. I love the neck; it has two inches of silver beads around the collar and the bottom hem and arm holes have silver beading to match. Buy it here for $410. Available in white only.

This gorgeous long sleeved Tory Burch Sequin Dress has been worn by Catherine Zeta Jones! This sequin mini is a timeless look. It's made from mesh with sequins added to the delicate fabric. Since it's so coveted, unfortunately, it's also out of stock here - but no worries. Just call (866)480-TORY and a sales rep will help you to locate the dress in a store nearest you. It sells for $850 and is available in black only.

Club Monaco Ansia Dress is definitely a more affordable option, however, you can't buy this dress online either. Although Club Monaco currently has a website, you won't be able to purchase items online until March. Until then, you can call any of their stores to order. The dress sells for $269 and is available in black only.
