Trend Alert: The Suede Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Spotted: Victoria and little Cruz showing off their holiday spirit in LA. While the wee one rocked a festive Santa hat - Lil can break his outfit down to you - Victoria kept it posh in a hunter green suede dress. Though hard to come by, these sumptuous frocks are well worth the search. Word to the wise: Vintage shops are a cheap alternative to paying exuberant retail prices. I found my vintage suede Yves Saint Laurent dress at a local consignment store for only $30 dollars - score!

Celeb Style: Halle Berry

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:30:22 -0800

Halle Berry joined Nicole Richie at the March of Dimes annual Celebration of Babies event in LA over the weekend. While Nicole opted for a boho maxi, Halle looked sexy sleek in a navy blue Yigal Azrouel number and smokey suede pumps. I love the way the dress melts over her curves and shows just enough cleavage. A diamond bracelet, diamond-studded earrings, and a delicate necklace provide the right amount of sparkle.

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?

Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.

Fab Tip: Boots Minus Blisters

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

There are certain boots you can't wear with socks. You know, the ones that make your socks slip off with every step. I recently experienced this with a new pair of taupe suede boots that are the same length as these Bottega Veneta Cutout Suede Ankle Boots ($1,090). They're gorgeous, I love them, but I hate that I can't wear them with socks. Sporty ankle socks, Peds, even dress socks slide right off when I walk. I like to wear socks with boots because they prevent blisters on my toes and heels. Do you feel me? If so, there's a simple solution.

To hear how to prevent blisters with boots, read more

To prevent blisters when wearing boots without socks, invest in some Toe Tape ($4). Instead of using it on your skin, cover the area inside the boot that has been causing blisters with it. Use as much as you need, the more padding, the better. That way, when your feet rubs up against the blister-causing area, it will now rub against the soft toe tape and not harsh the material. I already tested this out with my taupe boots and it worked wonders.

Celebrity Style: Leigh Lezark

Do you fancy purple? If so, this one's for you. Leigh Lezark attended a party at the Hogan store in London last night dressed in a suede purple dress with two zippers on the bodice. The purple platform sandals complement her dress without looking cheesy. Her gold metallic Hogan purse - which goes from satchel to clutch - adds much-needed drama to the mix. Edgy meets glamor . . . fun!

Trend Alert: Cool Chevrons

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

There she is. We had mixed feelings about Olga in her red turtleneck Valentino dress, but I'm sure her cool chevron beaded LBD is a winner. I mean, stunning. Her minidress is near perfection and could stand alone, but her nude suede booties and an arm of Bvlgari jewels elevate it. Not many of us have such a fantastic dress lying around, but we can still dip ourselves in the architectural print. Let Olga be your muse . . .

Trend Alert: Berry-Stained Leather

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Congratulations red leather and relatives, you are officially noncheesy anymore. Berry-stained leather, as exhibited by the ravenous Rachel Weisz in Spain, is utterly appetizing. Of course, a lot depends on the accompaniments. Weisz smartly wore her smooth berry leather jacket with an adorable blue floral dress - both Marc Jacobs Resort - and killer black Barbara Bui suede sandals; she did no wrong. Keeping things feminine and unique will let your raspberry, blueberry, or tayberry piece pop.

Malin Akerman was a ray of sunshine at the LA premiere of Couples Retreat last night in her yellow and nude Thakoon dress. What a great color combo - the yellow livens the nude, while the nude tames the yellow. Matching jeweled Miriam Haskell bracelets adorned each wrist, while gray-suede Aldo pumps prettied her feet.
