Trend Alert: Studded Boots

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Check it: studded boots aren't just for the rough and tough biker babes. Today, any girl with a little bit of funk in her can sport these badass, embellished boots. Notice how Sienna Miller, English model Sarah Harding, and Megan Fox wore studded boots in very different ways. Sienna looked like a bohemian girl in a slouchy, suede pair by Vivienne Westwood; Sarah took the rocker route - with her utterly adorable Frenchie - in a hard-hitting strappy pair; while Megan stayed California cool and paired her slick, knee-high boots with jeans and a bright cardi.

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble. Her black cardi and bubble mini would be plain on their own, so she made sure to accessorize with fun elements. Her galactic scarf adds a burst of color, while Ray-Bans and tough See by Chloe boots inject a dose of badass. A yummy Chanel bag completes her rad look.

The Look For Less: Isabel Marant Stud Buckle Boot

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Gush, double gush. I can't get enough of Isabel Marant's Fall '09 show. Each and every single look, down to the graduated cone footwear, is amazing. Speaking of footwear, how cool are the stud buckle boots Lily Donaldson is wearing? They're slightly trendy, yes, but subtle enough to wear for a while. Unfortunately, like every other Marant piece, they're out of my price range. Luckily, Jeffrey Campbell has come out with an identical pair without the killer price tag.

This Jeffrey Campbell Black Suede Boot ($165) is as close as any boot is going to get to the Isabel Marant version. It has the right studs, the buckle, the fold over detail, and a similar heel shape. Now all you need are Marant-inspired clothes and you're perfect.

Who Wore It Better? Luscious Leather LBD

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Can't seem to find the gusto to don a leather dress? Look to Kate Moss and Carine Roitfeld for inspiration. No doubt, the two are working it in their identical long-sleeve leather dresses. Kate Moss added some rockability to the high-neck cut by accessorizing with sexy bare legs, a studded belt, and pointy-toe pumps. In comparison, the French Vogue editor covered her stems with sexy, sheer black tights and tough, suede ankle boots. Notice how Moss tossed her hair up, while Carine kept hers down. Tell me, which leather lovin' lady do you prefer?

Trend Alert: Winter Retreat

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

It's bound to happen. Everyone starts to hibernate as the days get shorter and the temp gets colder. However, that's no excuse to dress drab. I suggest making your Winter retreat a fashionable one via buffalo plaid, sherpa-lined denim, laced boots, and boyfriend jeans. Think Paul Bunyan, or rather, Paulina Bunyan, when styling your warm warfare. Now, all I need is a cabin, fireplace, hot cocoa, and a snuggly stud muffin.

A little bit of rain didn't scare Rachel Bilson from heading out for some breakfast in LA. Everyone's gotta eat, right? To fend off the raindrops, the actress donned a cozy, rain-proof outfit consisting of a khaki trench, white tee, oatmeal cardi, skinny jeans, and Jimmy Choo for Hunter rain boots. For accessories, she donned her favorite bag-of-the-moment: a Phillip Lim studded bow bag. Functional, yet totally cute.

Women's Belted Trench Coats - $49.50	Knitted Long Cardigan - $65.00
Jimmy Choo Crocodile-print Wellington boots - $395.00	Perfect-fit long-sleeve crewneck tee - $24.50

2010 Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:28:46 -0700

Isabel Marant - a Fab obsession - opted for more detail, more color, and more leg for Spring. Per usual, I adore everything, minus the camouflage boots. Marant delivered an eclectic chic mix of frilly skirts and dresses, sumptuous tweed, cool prints, girlie ruffles, city shorts, hot hot pink, and sweet turquoise. Railroad denim is redone: teeny short shorts, patchwork miniskirts, and cutoff jeans. Khaki jackets and vests are far from preppy in silky fabrics and utilitarian styles.Pants are either laid-back loose or sexy tight, shown in silky black, Carmen Kass multicolored stripes, hot pink, and cool gray; this pictured pair of laced up black pants are a new classic, totally unique. The mix is emphasized by diverse details: feathered earrings, silver chain necklaces, dark metal bracelets, a mix of belts, and a knockout fringed and studded boot. Are you obsessed with Isabel, too?
