Look of the Day: Pastel Darling

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:00:08 -0700

At her friend's medical school graduation party, jennyjenny was the pastel darling of the night. In that adorable dress, it would be hard not to steal glances left and right. I love everything from the shoulder detail to the color to the floral print. It's spunky, lighthearted, and oh-so-pretty - just the way a cocktail dress ought to be.

Here's what she's wearing:
Dress: Ali Ro
Bangle: Amrita Singh
Shoes: Pedro Garcia

Congrats to jennyjenny!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Trend Alert: Mid-Calf Boots

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Falling between booties and knee-high boots are mid-calf boots. This middle child used to get harped on for its in-between length and stodgy shape, but look out kids - there's a new boot in town!

The modern mid-calf boot is cut slightly wider around the top to provide much-needed leg room, not to mention making jean tucking a breeze. Take a look-see at Ugly Betty's Becki Newton. Zone in on her amazing Jeffrey Campbell boots; the laid-back style goes perfectly with her light brown dress. The grommet embellishment adds a nice touch to this simple ensemble. She's the perfect example of how a person of petite height - she's only five-foot-two - can pull this off. No fear.

Fab's June Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

June! Summer! Heat! Yes. To some, June signifies the halfway point of the year. That may be, but it is also one of the best months of the year. Summer is upon us my friends, and that means many fabulous fashion things. For starters, sales are a plenty. Also, skin is an accessory - so don't forget to wear sunscreen. As well, it's time to rekindle your relationship with your hotter-than-hot swimwear. Are you ready to dive in? I am. And so my must haves contain warm-weather shoes, cropped pants, and a fresh pair of shades to keep me looking cool in the heat.

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 12:00:08 -0700

Speaking of shaking your groove thang, Sarah Jessica Parker showed up to the Late Show With David Letterman wearing a sophisticated black strapless jumpsuit. She kept her accessories simple in order to draw more attention to the great jumpsuit. Smart! Prior to her wardrobe change, she arrived in casual jeans and sexy-as-hell Pedro Garcia suede slingbacks that I've been eyeing for a while. And it wouldn't be SJP unless she did something a little off kilter, like folding only one of her jean legs!

Trend Alert: Be a Sweetheart

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

This Valentine's Day, be a sweetheart. Sweetheart shapes, whether on shoes, tops, or dresses, are the perfect way to be subtly suggestive: They call to mind the romantic and feminine heart shape, putting everyone subconsciously in the mood.

John Galliano knew what he was doing when he sent a magenta sweetheart dress down the Spring '08 Christian Dior runway along with lots of lingerie-inspired looks . . .

Trend Alert: Plunging Shoes

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

Cleavage is sexy - no doubt. But then there's that other kind of cleavage, the not so obvious toe cleavage. If I do say so myself, I have a nice pair of feet, but I don't look to them to seduce...that is, unless I was wearing a pair of plunging shoes. The V is not reserved for necks anymore, the V has gone south. Whether the V leads to extreme or demure cleavage of the toe, these shoes are dramatic, attention-grabbing and, no doubt, sexy.

Pedro Garcia Karen Suede Wedge: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 06:33:22 -0700

I like wedges, and I definitely like suede shoes, but if you put the two together and they make this Pedro Garcia Karen Suede Wedge, $425, I just can't say I'm a fan. The product reminds me of an expensive version of the orthopedic shoe I might see my grandmother shuffling around in (no offense granny!).
