Trend Alert: Luggin' It

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

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.

Report Signature Women's Alix Pump - $184.95	Ray-ban "wayfarer ii" sunglasses - $139.00

Fab Finger Discount: Report Boston Booties

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

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.

Hot Kiss Faux Leather Bomber Jacket (Juniors) - $68.00	Mayle Gia Cami - $365.00
Multi-Chain Necklace - $6.80	Report Signature Shoes Metallic Gala Hidden Platform Sling Back Pump - $195.00

Trend Alert: Knock on Wood

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:22 -0700

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!

Jocelyn Hot Pink Jacket ($414)	Vince Satin Banded Top ($145)
American Apparel Lame High-Waisted Legging ($44)	AZ Collection Multicolor Swarovski Crystal Flower Brooch ($198)
REPORT SIGNATURE Alix in Silver ($176)	Victoria's Secret Leopard clutch ($48)	Nadri Pave Ball Stud Earrings ($50)

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively

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!

Jean Paul Gaultier Runway Devore Tartan Dress - $2,485.00	Flirt For ASOS Back Seam Tights - $10.82
Report - Bette (Black) - $157.45	Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal Necklace - $315.00
Lauren Merkin Louise Woven Leather Clutch - $395.00

Style For Style: No More Visible Price Tags

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:00:22 -0800

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, read more

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!

Rachel Zoe To Pen Fashion Newsletter - Bananas!

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

While we anxiously await the second season of The Rachel Zoe Project, which debuts Aug. 25, here's something fabulous to keep us busy: The Zoe Report. The star stylist is following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP by launching her very own fashion/beauty/lifestyle newsletter. In her words, it's going to be bananas.

Just provide your email address, zip code, age range, and what you're most interested in hearing about. There's even an option to send Zoe a direct Tweet if you have a cool idea for the newsletter. I asked for a quote-of-the-day type post about her random fashion revelations. I look forward to hearing from her in a few weeks.
