Look of the Day: Blackout

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

One LBD can go a long way. Ask kringkles, she knows what I mean. Her black frock has all the essential details: a fabulous cut, cool detailing, and a flattering fit. As always, a stunning piece of jewelry is important - her gold coin necklace is the icing on the style cake. I'm also digging the cool blackout backdrop. Now, that's good photography.
Here's what she has on:

Dress: Zara
Necklace: Unknown

Congrats to kringkles!

Best of 2008: And the Favorite New Trend Is . . .

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 03:00:08 -0800

I used to play in my mom's jewelry all the time - I still do. If this is you too, you probably voted for a statement necklace as your favorite trend of '08. The reader favorite was over-the-top shoes, and you know me, so this was a tough call. Then, Team Fab looked at each other and we were all wearing cool, unique statement necklaces so the decision was made. Clutches came in close after statement necklaces and we're all about those, too. What can we say: We love all the trends we presented. But glittering, ornate necklaces stole our hearts and our necks this year.

The Look For Less: Marroni Faceted Ring

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Sometimes all you need is one piece of jewelry to make a "wow" statement. This Marroni Faceted Ring ($3,350) says all the right things: sleek, sexy, and sophisticated. The faceted texture brings life to its bold shape. Only problem is that it's worth more than my monthly rent - eek!

This Anne Taylor Faceted Ring ($39) has the same textural qualities. The metal tone, hence the affordable price, gives off a cool, modern vibe. With all that saved money, who's complaining?

I Want This Wardrobe: Victory Ford, Lipstick Jungle

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

How many times do we say it's all about the accessories? Victory Ford of Lipstick Jungle knows this. Even when her eyes are set on landing a tennis pro's clothing line, she adorns a LWD to perfection. Layered rhinestone necklaces, a strong shoe, and a pop of color clutch are key Victory accents. I'm sure her business partner-slash-ex Joe was dazzled but not enough for him to do the deed we've been waiting for. Alas, we have to anticipate another Friday night for the answer to that one; in the meantime, feast your eyes.

Celebrity Style: Ashley Olsen

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:39:48 -0800

Ashley Olsen shows us the power of accessories. To offset the all-black ensemble she wore to the David Letterman show, she threw on gorgeously large jeweled earrings that steal the show. Always one to represent her clothing lines, Ashley wore an LBD and black blazer from The Row. I love that the blazer is slightly longer than the dress. Another scene-stealer are her pointy velvet pumps. Chic all around.

Love It or Hate It? Lee Angel Judi Cascading Necklace

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:00:22 -0700

When I saw this Lee Angel Judi Cascading Necklace ($275) on a mannequin in Neiman Marcus, I thought, talk about statement necklace! The bottom row of beads are enormous, ornament-like. Statement jewels are huge right now, but would you wear one this dramatic?

Trend Alert: Standout Jewels

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

Team Fab was just chatting about how jewelry can really make an outfit. And with today's costume jewelry designers and yesterday's vintage jewelry, there are so many options. Julianne Moore's grey YSL dress is pretty awesome, but all I see here is that amazing colorful Boucheron necklace. I wouldn't even call it a necklace - it is jeweled art. Here are some more standout jewels, ready to inspire . . .

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:00:22 -0800

This royal-purple cocktail ring ($10) may be flashy, but it's hardly a flash in a pan. It's subtly eye-catching and would be the perfect addition to any holiday getup, especially with that favorite purple color . . .

Malababa Fernando Ring: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

When I imagine bold statement rings, I usually think of a nice big rhinestone rock . . . not suede. This Malababa Fernando Ring ($40) is definitely an unexpected twist on an old classic - but does it work?
