Celeb Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 11:00:22 PST

Girl about town Whitney Port hit the party circuit attending the Will.I.Am & Millennium Foundation soiree in NYC. Her punky cool all-black ensemble oozes texture thanks to her frothy strapless minidress, cutout tights, and suede platform pumps. For extra pizazz, The City star layered on the adornments with an under-the-sea necklace, stacked bangles, macho watch, and gold rings. A rad black and gold chain strap bag completes her unique 'fit.

Trend Alert: Luggin' It

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:00:22 PDT

After attending Burberry Prorsum's magnificent show, the multi-talented Gwyneth Paltrow attended the afterparty showing off her all-Burberry, all-bodacious 'fit. While I can swoon for hours about her warped baby blue skirt, I'm going to focus on her tough shoes. They're the perfect example of fashion meets function. Luggin' it in lug soled shoes will not only keep your toes cozy, it'll also prevent you from slipping in the rain, sleet, or snow. Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson left her house in an outfit that makes me want to know where she went! The actress stuck to her love of quirky dresses in a navy and white Phillip Lim silk dress with unique embellishments. Then she dazzled her feet with a pair of gold metallic Giuseppe Zanotti pumps. So as not to look too calculated, she threw on a navy velvet blazer and her signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Cute.

Fab Finger Discount: Report Boston Booties

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Folds and pleats aren't restricted to handbags, you know. They've made their way onto Fall's gorgeous footwear, like this Report Boston Bootie ($92, originally $115), which comes in black and brown. I'm envisioning wearing the brown ones with light gray skinny jeans scrunched up, an oversize gray sweater, and layered jewelry. That way, the booties can do all the wowing.

Celebrity Style: Kate Mara

I'm not the only one who hit up Target's Bullseye Bodega in Manhattan in search of cheap and chic finds. A gaggle of stars like Kate Mara also did some shopping last night. The actress, who's been spotted in the front rows of Fashion Week, channeled a rocker chick in her black leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and layered chain necklace. Her Brian Reyes belted linen top, funky tweed clutch, and metallic platform sandals inject some color to the mix.

Trend Alert: Knock on Wood

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Knock on wood. But this time, try it with your feet instead of your knuckles. Sound awkward? But it looks so good. Wooden heels meld together sophistication and sass.

A wooden heel gives off a nonchalant attitude, while the sleek design puts your manner in check. Thanks to the elevated platform and absorbent heels, these platforms are fairly comfortable and easy to walk in.

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker has been pretty low-key lately, but when she comes around, she does so with a big (and pink) bang! The actress attended NYC's premiere of Smart People looking ever the rock 'n roller in her tighter than tight leather leggings. To avoid looking too masculine, SJP chose a hot pink cropped Jil Sander jacket with Carrie Bradshaw's signature flower brooch. This pink lady has guts for incorporating so many colors and prints; we can definitely learn a thing or two from her!

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:00:22 PST

I've been going through Gossip Girl withdrawals so I was happy to see Blake Lively, aka Serena van der Woodsen, at Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring Couture show. The actress is new to the runway scene, but she was looking all the pro in her Jean Paul Gaultier dress. I'm baffled by the strange leather piece around her neck so I gave her something more pretty and conventional. Doesn't she remind you of a young Cate Blanchett? If she keeps attending these couture collections, she'll be famous like Cate before she knows it!

Style For Style: No More Visible Price Tags

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:00:22 PST

I've come to learn that anything inappropriately visible is not pretty: VPLs, VBLs (Visible Bra Lines), and now VPTs (Visible Price Tags). When you have a gorgeous shoe, like this Report Signature Guada Suede T-Strap Pump ($195), you don't want a tacky price tag that's stuck on the inside sole to take away from its beauty.

To see how to get rid of annoying VPTs,

First, try to remove as much of the tag as possible.
Take a piece of paper towel and wet it with hot water.
Rub the wet paper towel against the sticky price tag until it's fairly moist.
Once the price tag is wet, rub the price tag off with your fingers - in back and forth motions. Price tag and goo should come off without any difficulty!

Watch Out For Fraud When Trying to Score a Date Online

Kristy Korcz — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:12:16 PST

There are lots of ways to find your geeky love match online, but as they say on The Bachelor, not all online daters are there for the right reasons. According to a new report, online dating fraud rose 150 percent in 2011, making Internet dating sites a hotbed for fraudulent links and phishing scams.

With over three percent of interactions being of fraudulent nature - including those misrepresenting themselves to get personal information via links or spamming - how are you supposed to tell who is genuine and who isn't? I mean, you're there to meet new people, right? Some red flags to consider are the use of the word "love" early on in correspondence, someone urging you to take messaging off-site to email or Facebook (where hackers have easier access to your personal information), and weird syntax and language discrepancies. Basically, if their message sounds like one you might find in your spam folder, keep your guard up.

Of course, the only way you'll really be able to tell if someone is really into you, or if you're flirting with disaster, is to trust your gut instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
