FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

Forever 21 has many collections - Twist and Intimates, to name a couple - but none that are vintage-inspired . . . until now. Boutique by Forever 21 is all about that antique touch - elaborate embellishments, soft feathers, and dazzling sequins. Plus, with higher quality fabrics, it all looks authentically secondhand. The new line hasn't hit the racks just yet, but here's a sneak peek to woo you.

Zac Posen's Lower-Priced Line Back in Action!

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Last we spoke about Zac Posen's lower-priced diffusion line, it was on hold due to the weak economy. No fear - it's back. Z Spoke is set to hit Saks Fifth Avenue exclusively in the Spring. The 60-piece range focuses on sportswear via knits, blazers, pleated khaki shorts, and shirts. The best part? The starting price point is $78.

"Zac has always wanted to do a line that would be Zac Posen, but maybe talk to a different girl,” said Ron Frasch, Saks's president and chief merchandising officer. No doubt it will speak to a different customer than his RTW line - one who is just as fabulous but budget-conscious.

Sneak Peek! Ann Taylor, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days. The retailer adopted a more trend-conscious aesthetic and it recently hired Heidi Klum to be its cashmere model! I'm quite impressed by its Fall collection. There is a look for every girl and the styling has been executed flawlessly. Casual denim, puffer jackets, coats, and wow-worthy red dresses and skirts are all must haves. I'm thinking this Wool Bow Coat ($295) needs to come home with me. Proceed to shop my favorite looks.

2010 Spring: Calvin Klein, CK Jeans, and CK Underwear

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

Clean. Precise. Minimal. Three terms Calvin Klein wants you to use when describing its Spring '10 collection. Staying true to the house's less-is-more aesthetic, Francisco Costa has delivered a line of basics with a sexy utilitarian nature. You'll find organic fabrics and most colors of the rainbow: sand, white, and khaki as staples, canary, melon, poppy, fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt as accents. Drawstring cargos, denim vests, fitted blazers, parkas, denim judo pants, and shirt dresses are all solid. But one print piece stands out as the cool black sheep: a black-and-white, tie-dye dress that's feminine and bold.

Swimsuits are also part of the Spring family - a two-piece in warm gray and a one piece in solid gray or gray Bengal print. The handbags are equally minimal; hobos, totes, and rounded clutches are smooth and unstructured, with gold and silver hardware. Wooden-stacked heels and flat sandals are au naturel and sporty.

Sneak Peek! Anthropologie, Fall '09

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Anthropologie's November catalog is a surefire way to get in the holiday spirit. British model Jacquetta Wheeler - dressed in everything from pretty lace to cozy sweaters - is seen frolicking in (faux) snow. It's all so romantic. I can't help but be consumed by the impressive styling, and I'm sure CasaSugar is mesmerized by the rustic scene. Granted, not everyone wears shorts in the snow, but I adore Jacquetta's outfit here; a little checkers, a little wool, equals a lot of charm. Experience it for yourself.

Sneak Peek! Isaac Mizrahi Live at QVC

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:30:22 -0800

Isaac Mizrahi is Mr. QVC these days. Isaac Mizrahi Live, which debuts Dec. 4, just released some of its multicategory goodies. Studded berets, sequin tees, toggle coats, and bright handbags, all retailing from $32 to $300, are some of the offerings. Also on the menu is tartan-printed cheesecake. You hear that, Yum?

“I love my product. I believe in my product. If I do plates, if I do bedding, which I did, if I render cookies, I do it in the same way that I think about a couture dress," Isaac said. The designer is quickly becoming the jack of all trades. "As I build my brand, I think about Martha Stewart and her very upward trajectory. She has always been a great inspiration to me." Fabulous.

Sneak Peek! Stella McCartney Intimates, Spring '10

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Last Spring's Stella McCartney lingerie offering was colorful, but this time around, the designer is feeling softer with neutral pales, dusty pinks, and lavender. There are 15 groups, each with a cheeky name like Rosie Plotting, Eva Scampering, and Billie Twirling. "This season we looked at the '20s and '50s, which comes through the range in silhouette and specially developed embroidery and gold retro hardware," McCartney said. Look forward to prints like florals, feathers, and ladybugs, and fabrics like tulle, mesh, and silk crepe de chine. Prices range from $45 to $195 - the Spring '10 line will land at Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York, and Bloomingdale’s.

Sneak Peek! Kate Moss For Topshop, Christmas '09

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Set your alarms, ladies, the Kate Moss For Topshop Christimas '09 Collection drops in stores and online tomorrow. The Super models what you have to look forward to: sexy, moody frocks, airy blouses, lots of sheerness, sequins, and belts. Oh, and the debut nightwear collection, which she plans on wearing out. "I might wear some of the PJ tops out as a layer, instead of a shirt, but probably not as a set." I think I'll take Kate's lead and wear some of the nighties for a night out.
