FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:00:08 -0700

I wasn't going to leave you hanging after my first New York Fashion Week roundup. A lot happens in two days here. Adam Lippes, Thakoon, Zac Posen, Tracy Reese, Rebecca Taylor, DKNY, Christian Siriano, Carlos Miele - a lot. 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. Take a gander, start your wish list . . .

Trend Alert: Funky Hemlines

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was no surprise seeing Fabcon Vanessa Traina at Couture Week. In fact, she might have taught a couple stylephiles a lesson or two in fabulous, pared-down Parisian dressing. We spotted Vanessa at Givenchy's entrancing show wearing an awesome floral dress paired with debatable Givenchy cutout sandals. Take note of the frock's funky hemline. This uneven style is a nod to the old school handkerchief cut, but less gypsy and more glam.

Celebrity Style: Demi Moore

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher arrived at Diddy's charity party on the 4OJ dressed to impress. Adhering to the party's white theme, Demi emoted pure sass, wearing a strapless white eyelet Andrew Gn dress and vivacious silver Jimmy Choo sandals. A striking white enamel cuff, sleek clutch, and purple tinted sunnies complete her getup. Ashton looks pretty dapper in his white suit, too. I'm awestruck, you?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Aspen Food & Wine Classic

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:50:22 -0700

YumSugar's heading to a three-day extravaganza at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this week and needed our fashion expertise. She'll be attending oodles of foodie soirees, so I asked you to come up with something beautiful and unique. She had two rules: nothing tight and nothing white - what happens if something spills? Smart. Dresses are nice, but I wanted you to feel free to play around with skirts and cute tops. The weatherman also predicted a chance of rain, so a cool jacket was required.

I started you off with this Calvin Klein Sarika Platform Pump ($98); the simple style gave you room to play with color and creativity. Let's see YumSugar's favorite outfits!

Look #1, created by Zivanod, is perfect for Yum. I adore the color combination and fun tights!

Fashion Week Quickie: Tracy Reese Goes Eclectic

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:03:47 -0800

We can always look forward to feminine, fanciful clothes from Tracy Reese. For Fall, Reese promises an eclectic collection inspired by post-impressionist portraiture, including the works of Vuillard, Van Gogh, and Modigliani. Pattern mixing and rich color combinations are something to look out for. Colors are described as "rustic chic" and include mixing raspberry plaids, pink florals, and basil green argyles. Silhouettes are relaxed and slender, and spectator heels add the finishing touch.

Who Wore It Better? Tracy Reese Star Spangled Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Oh say can you see both Paris Hilton and Vanessa Minnillo rocking the same dress? Paris first wore Tracy Reese's star spangled dress to the David Letterman Show a few weeks ago. She managed to find Christian Louboutin pumps in the same exact color. Former MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo chose the same dress for the TRL wrap party, but opted for black sandals. Both girls accessorized minimally, allowing the loud dress to speak for itself. Whose attempt at Tracy Reese's starry dress do you prefer?

Paris Hilton in Star Spangled Tracy Reese: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Leave it to Paris to show off her patriotism the week of the election. The celebrity was spotted wearing a star spangled Tracy Reese confection for her appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Her striking blue dress was paired with matching cobalt Christian Louboutin heels and sparkling diamonds. Is this the perfect way to show off her pride? I wonder who she voted for!

Celebrity Style: Katy Perry

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Katy Perry has been working the Fashion Week circuit and now she's on to Paris for the chicest shows and most fabulous soirées. Sigh. Have you noticed she's stepped up her glamour factor? She still plays with color and accessories but she's a vision in this pink Galliano dress and long nubby gray cardigan. I love how it drapes off her shoulder, so Parisian nonchalant.

Pink Draped Shift Dresses by Tracy Reese - $320.00	Alice + Olivia Long Ruffle Cardigan Sweater - $385.00
L.A.M.B. Gem Platform Pump - $350.00	Martine satin party clutch - $98.00

If you ask me, a girl can never have enough dresses. If you concur, then Tracy Reese is your woman. Her online boutique currently has a large sale section stuffed with frilly frocks that will make any girl's face light up.

But if you have enough dresses (really?), consider this Tracy Reese Puff Bolero ($78, originally $195). It's a good fusion of whimsical and serious, right? Shoes, handbags, pants, and outerwear are also heavily discounted.

Fashion Week Quickie: Tracy Reese's Green Gardens

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:30:33 -0700

Tracy Reese is a contemporary designer I always appreciate. Her ultra-femme designs aren't the most fashion-forward, but they are lovely and wearable. And, we already got a sneak peek at her Spring offerings.

Reese was inspired by nature through the seasons, so green will be plentiful. Also, we will witness pastel prints inspired by Japanese art featuring chrysanthemums and hazy blue skies, while structured leather (ooh!) is softened with touches of leaf appliqué. The designer will play with architectural shapes and laser cut lace to mix things up. Until Fashion Week . . .
