Dress Me Up: Full of Fall

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:00:08 -0800

Donna Karan's Fall collection is the epitome of Autumn. Warm browns, vivid rust, olive green, terra cotta, mustard, and burgundy were the plush colors the designer used to spice up her line. Now is the perfect time to draw inspiration from it and fill our closets with similar pieces. You can even get inspired from the changing colors of the leaves outside. Stick to one or two colors at most. I've found that gray tights are the perfect accent to any autumnal color. If you're still frazzled, study the Fall collections, see my suggestions below, and be full of Fall.

2009 Cannes Film Festival: Angelina Jolie

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 10:53:38 -0700

Just when I'd forgotten the effect the fascinatingly gorgeous couple can have. Check out Angelina and Brad at the Inglourious Basterds premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Not only am I dying to see this movie (Quentin Tarantino directing, starring Brad and Diane Kruger), this is the best dressed Cannes red carpet thus far. There was a possibility Angelina's gown was by Belstaff, the brand who designed the military-style jacket worn by Brad in the movie. But she decided on Versace; this sheer and draped terra cotta colored gown definitely screams screen siren. And those red lips - they match the red carpet. Swoon.

LA Fashion Week, Fall 2008: The Lauren Conrad Collection

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:02:58 -0700

As we hoped, Lauren Conrad stepped up her game for her first runway showing and Fall collection for The Lauren Conrad Collection. And, to our excitement, all her friends were there to share in her glory.

In the front row sat Whitney, Audrina, Lo, Kristin, Brody and Frankie - all giddy and excited to be at Smashbox Studios. FabSugar was on the other side of the runway amidst Lauren's family (funny huh?). We sat next to her grandmother and had some words with her mom and sister. They were very proud and thought the show was fabulous. When asked what her sis's favorite piece was, she said the strapless ivory ruffle dress (pictured) - very cute indeed. Very Lauren!

The French flair - berets, leather gloves, and chic pumps - added a certain je ne sai quoi to the collection, and helped create the girl Lauren is trying to convey. These pieces were an improvement from what we've seen from Lauren thus far; some were the casual cute pieces we know, some were form-fitting and flirtatious and will want to get to know. The palette was autumnal: ivory, terra cotta, plum, olive green, and there was plenty of black, Lauren's self-proclaimed favorite color. High waisted skirts, a zippy botanical print and lace were new additions. Let's put it this way: there was less bubble and more bodacious.

These are clearly clothes Lauren and her posse want to wear so my question is: Do you want to wear them too?

Sarah Hood Living Rings: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 13:00:22 -0700

I am speechless. These Sarah Hood Living Rings, $800 each, are not meant to decorate your house, but rather, your fingers. They are living plants with terra cotta pots and sterling silver rings. Though I would never walk around with a plant on my finger, they are pretty unique. But, I would have to keep my hand up just to prevent it from breaking and that's too high maintenance. And the thought of watering my finger is way weird. What do you all think?
