Best of 2008: Favorite FABTV Show

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 05:00:22 PST

Fashion is an increasingly popular TV show topic. This year we watched a few oldies but goodies - Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style - and turned on the tube for a few newbies: The Rachel Zoe Project and Stylista. Gossip Girl will always have a special place in our hearts for its eternal wardrobe appeal. Which show had your TiVo in a tizzy this year?

Glitterati: JBalducci Jewelry

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 04:00:22 PST

When one of your necklaces is featured on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style as one of Tim's Essentials, you're done - in a good way. That's just what happened to Jenifer Balducci, the San Francisco-based designer who created the necklace at left as part of her JBalducci Jewelry collection.

She started out designing high-end jewelry and custom pieces in LA, but eventually moved into her Bay Area studio, where JBalducci was born in 2003. Jenifer loves incorporating vintage and antique pieces with fine materials for her namesake line, producing a contemporary look.

All of her pieces are handmade, and they run from $25-$130 at JBalducci.com.

The 10 Fashion Essentials, According to Tim Gunn

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 09:00:22 PST

Tim Gunn is the prince of fashion TV. Unlike most of the other competitive reality shows out there, Tim serves as a mentor to the aspiring designers on our favorite show Project Runway. Tim is insanely smart, charming and defines "tough love" - he's like that really tough professor that ended up being your favorite one of all. With Season Four weeks away, I wanted to share Tim's 10 Fashion Essentials he shares with us via his show Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.

While I put together some Fab picks based on his list, I thought: we could do without a couple of these, and, where are the shoes and bags?! He supplies them to his disciples on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style but doesn't include them here. Alas, I put together a pretty thorough mini-wardrobe based on his recommendations. And remember, according to Tim: "It's all about owning your look. And when you do you navigate the world with great confidence. And what more could we want?"

To learn Tim's 10 Fashion Essentials,

Basic Black Dress
Trench Coat
Classic Dress Pants
Skirt
Blazer
Classic White Shirt
Day Dress
Cashmere Sweater
Jeans
Sweatsuit Alternative
Bonus: One Indulgent Trendy Item Under $20

Fab Read: Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:00:33 PDT

The season premiere of "Project Runway" may still be seven weeks away (49 days to be exact), but we've got plenty of projects to keep us satisfied. There's "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style," which we're obsessed with, and Heidi Klum's Very Sexy Makeup Collection, and now there's Nina Garcia's book The Little Black Book of Style, on sale for $13 (originally $18). This book, according to Nina, is not "A book of rules. It is a book on style." Just what you would expect from the "Project Runway" judge and ELLE fashion director.

The book itself is the LBD of fashion guides - sophisticated, elegant and timeless. It offers tips on how to: be your own muse (confidence trumps beauty), invest in wardrobe staples (ballet flats, cashmere and diamonds) and "what to wear when" (just say no to sweatsuits on planes). Overall, Nina offers very sage advice for both the savvy shopper and ensembly challenged.

TV Tonight: "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style"

BuzzSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 23:56:56 PDT

My favorite dry-witted silver fox, Tim Gunn, returns to TV tonight with the premiere of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" at 10 p.m. on Bravo. (If you caught the sneak-preview after "Top Chef" on Wednesday, don't worry - tonight's episode is different.) He and co-host Veronica Webb will be raiding the closets of the fashion-distressed and teaching them how to dress their bodies better. Sure, the show may usually be up Fab's alley, but Gunn's sense of humor certainly makes it buzzworthy. Extra bonus: The designers for the fourth season of "Project Runway" will be revealed during tonight's premiere. To check out a clip that mostly just makes me want to be on the show so Gunn could fix my outfits,
