Ready-to-Wear Designers Delve Into Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

It's raining baubles: Thakoon, Alice + Olivia, and Milly have announced expansions into jewelry.

Thakoon Panichgul has been swooped up by Japanese fine jewelry brand, Tasaki, to serve as its creative director. “My goal is to approach jewelry design in the same manner that I approach clothing: always move forward but respect the past,” said Panichgul.

Alice + Olivia received some help from jewelry extraordinaire, Karen Erickson, to design a limited-edition jewelry collection set to debut in Spring. The line, ranging from $278 to $393, is funky and modern - check out this rad leather floral bangle.

Milly designer, Michelle Smith, took inspiration from her Spring line to create Lucite necklaces, gold-plated bracelets, and colorful enamel cuffs. “From the time I was a girl, I was always into vintage jewelry. It is a passion of mine, so I thought it would be a great addition to the Milly collection,” said Smith. Her collection retails from $75 to $325, and will also launch in Spring. Bring on the bling!

Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock. I can't decide which version I like best, they're all so pretty.

Here's why you need one (or all three): they're a modern alternative to the basic black pencil skirt, they're super inexpensive, and they're the perfect rich hues for Fall. To counterbalance the fanciness, I would wear one with a gray tee and a faux fur collar scarf. And if the length is too stuffy for you, chop it or wear it as a paperbag skirt!

Celeb Style: Charlize Theron

Glamazon Charlize was in San Francisco last night for the ONEXONE Foundation Gala. I missed her, but Pop talked charity with her - stayed tuned for that on Pop! She wore a perfectly appropriate philanthropic 'fit. Her printed Thakoon dress is made more serious with a black blazer with white cuffs and black tights. A Dior clutch and patent pumps polish her off. Hope you enjoyed your SF stopover, Charlize.

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.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Amelia Earhart

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 05:00:08 -0700

I have a lot of female role models in my life. Of course, there's my mom, Carine Roitfeld, Michelle Obama, etc. Like tres tres chic, I also look up to famous aviator Amelia Earhart. Her tribute to the aviatrix includes a mix of sporty yet luxe vintage-inspired flight gear. I love all of the fur embellishments - pilots need to keep warm – and leather. I'm sure Amelia would appreciate that sumptuous Phillip Lim flight jacket, I sure do.

Trends are starting to surface: neutrals are ruling the runways, but luckily orange and blues are brightening things up; cutouts and draping are fabric treatments of choice; and sunglasses are soon to be the next hot accessory.

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:50:22 -0700

With the Spring 2010 (whoa, 2010 - doesn't that sound so futuristic?) shows in the very near future, it's time to take final glimpses at Fall. What Fab trends will you be delving into? Which hot shoes tickled your fancy? Which heavenly handbags made you pant? During my runway research I accumulated some more favorite looks, stand-out pieces, awe-inspiring jewels, and simply cool honorable mentions. Thakoon's canary fur-collared coat atop luxe black separates is what fashion dreams are made of. Beam me up, Scotty!

Trend Alert: Layered Tanks

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

How easy breezy are power couple Reese and Jake in Venice Beach? I know they are rich and famous, but don't they just seem so down to earth? Reese's Summer-perfect 'fit is fresh chic - and break me off a piece of that Bottega. Fab bag and layered jewels aside, her layered tank creates the perfect backdrop. Simple tanks are cool, but been there, done that.

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Sienna Miller stood out amongst major fashion heads last night at the NYC premiere of The September Issue wearing an icy-blue confection by Thakoon. I love how the ruched strapless bodice and short hemline emotes major flirt factor. For extra panache, the cover star wore gold Jimmy Choo sandals, chandelier earrings, clear Lennon-esque sunnies, and a fancy Bottega Veneta woven clutch. No doubt, Sienna's on fire with her recent red-carpet creations.

Teal Strapless Cocktail Dresses by Nicole Miller - $440.00	ABS Multi Color Crystal Chandelier Earrings - $150.00
Bottega Veneta Miniaudiere Satin Clutch - $1,150.00	Jimmy Choo 'Freya' Metallic Leather Sandal - $695.00
