Who Wore It Better? Jasmine di Milo Boatneck Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Anne Hathaway and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton were spotted wearing Jasmine di Milo's artistic confection. Sweet Anne kept her look simple, accessorizing with a pair of dangly earrings and hot reptilian pumps. Emma added some spice to her life - pun intended - with a gold necklace and bold bangle. A structured patent bag and matching heels finishes off her look. Note how Anne's makeup is minimal and Emma's is red hot. Both are working the dress, but which look do you prefer?

Freaky or Fabulous? Mel B Starting Catty Couture

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:00:08 -0700

If former Spice Girl Melanie Brown were starting a dance troupe I'd get it, but starting her own clothing line called Catty Couture? That's scary! The name is cheeky but the leopard-print clothes in the background tell a different story. I can definitely see her wearing them, but that doesn't mean they should be mass produced and distributed to the rest of the world. Oh gosh, I can see it now . . . a bunch of former Spice Girls fans running around in head-to-toe leopard. I'm going with freaky all the way. You?

Fab Flash: Spice Girls Hit the Catwalk

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Earlier today in Milan, the Spice Girls made a surprise appearance on the Roberto Cavalli catwalk. The Fall 2008 men's runway shows are in full swing, and the girls came to show their support for the man who painstakingly designed their world tour costumes. As Cavalli revealed about his efforts, "I met each one on their own so I could get an idea of their personality." The runway show's dress code was all black, with the exception of Geri Halliwell, but unsurprisingly, Posh stole the show with a plunging tuxedo pantsuit. Which spicey look here is your fave?

Roberto Cavalli at H&M Collection Revealed!

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:30:22 -0700

It's been a busy week for Roberto Cavalli! The Fab ad campaign for his collaboration with H&M appeared earlier this week, and now the lookbook for the entire collection has surfaced. As expected, leopard spots, zebra prints, and sequins are all over, and the color palette stays in the black, white, and gold range. The standout dress looks to be this gold flapper number, which Cavalli designed with Kylie Minoque in mind.

He is officially launching the collection at the H&M in Rome today, and will be in Manhattan for the US launch next Tuesday. The date I'm really looking forward to, however, is November 8, when we all have access to the collection in store!

Up next on Mr. Cavalli's plate? He's putting together the costumes that he designed for the Spice Girls reunion tour, set to kick off November 15 at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in LA.

Fab Flash: Donatella Likely Dressing the Spice Girls!

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 15:17:08 -0700

Rumor has it that design diva Donatella Versace is dressing the Spice Girls for their comeback tour. She is supposedly working on an array of looks for each girl, and the clothes all together will be worth over $400,000! If this turns out to be true, you're likely to see Mel C in a "really sexy wardrobe" rather than poorly-fitting jumpsuits, and Emma in "stunning, elegant dresses with a playful touch" rather than babydoll dresses.

Sounds promising, but all this begs the question: what's happening with those awful platform shoes they all used to wear? Perhaps to be updated with Yves Saint Laurent and Lanvin platforms all around? Major.

Celebrity Style: Julia Stegner

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

German model Julia Stegner made an appearance at Berlin Fashion Week, and what a memorable appearance it was. We've seen ivory blazers before, but she spiced her version up with striped cropped pants with a sheen and Stella McCartney mesh sandals. Dagger and cross necklaces are the ideal accessories; they lend shine and a hint of bad ass. And I love the way she has her shagadelic hair flipped to the side a la surfer girl. Perfection all around.

Diane von Furstenberg Felt Blazer - $450.00	Fab Basic Scoop Neck Tee - $3.50
City Style Silky Pleated Ankle Pants - $39.89	Max Kibardin Lace Sandals - $850.00

Yummy Autumn Scents

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 07:40:01 -0700

Every year when autumn arrives, I can't help but whip up a big batch of spiced (and sometimes spiked) apple cider. There's something about that warm, cinnamon-apple smell that just says Fall to me. But a girl can't just drink apple cider all the time, so I'm glad I can also get the spiced, fruity scents of Fall in the form of bath products-everything from apple-scented lotions to delicious ginger-snap fragrance spray. Here are some of my top picks for yummy Fall-scented bath and body products.

Philosophy Pumpkin Pie Shower Gel, $16, available here.
