Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 11:59:01 -0700

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is one blessed lady. Not only does she have the pleasure of dating the Orlando Bloom, she's also unearthly gorgeous. At the Victoria's Secret Heavenly Kiss launch party, the Australian brunette chose a Balenciaga floral mini dress that looks like the sassy sister of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring gowns. Although her choice of satin peep-toe pumps is pretty, I switched them out for a more modern pair of lace-up peep toes.

Trend Alert: The Roaring '20s

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Queen of the red carpet, Diane Kruger, continues to inspire. Of all the New Year's parties that went down, this looks like the most Fab one. Soho Grand's "Great Gatsby" was the place to be - beads, bubbly and babes for everyone! Who doesn't like to play dress up with the decades once in a while. You know I'm game. And so is Diane.

Party On Party Dresses: Lustworthy LBDs

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:00:22 -0800

Lauren Conrad is the queen of Little Black Dresses. She wears them often and she wears them well. LBDs are tricky because if the silhouette is uninteresting, or unflattering, your look can turn out quite trite. That is unless you pile on colorful accessories: fuchsia shoes, a metallic belt, a satin clutch.

Any girl can pull off a Lustworthy LBD, whether you're shy, sassy or craving attention. A dash of red lipstick and you'll be the siren all the boys will want to smooch at midnight.

Katherine Heigl celebrated her 29th birthday at Nobu with her closest companions. Though she didn't go fancy, she did put together a cute and comfy ensemble with her Juicy Couture plaid coat, black turtleneck, and brown suede boots. This look goes to show the power of a coat. When done correctly, it can really elevate an outfit to Fab status!

Designer Spotlight: Tufi Duek

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 06:45:44 -0700

I hadn't seen much from designer Tufi Duek until a friend and I recently went shopping in search of fancy dresses for a wedding we had to attend. Out of all the frocks that hung on the racks, one Tufi Duek dress beckoned my friend. She ended up buying it and in turn, I got to know a new designer!

At first I thought Tufi was a woman but when I did some research, I learned I was wrong (yes, it happens!). He was born in Rio de Janeiro but moved to São Paulo as a child. He is one of the most famous Brazilian designers and is responsible for the Forum, Triton and Tufi Duek brands, which have an international following. He has a huge fashion empire based in Brazil, but he is also popular internationally.

Trend Alert: Red & Purple

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:02:33 -0700

A color combo for the more daring, I have always enjoyed pairing two of my favorite colors: red & purple. The deep, vibrant, blue-hued colors create a funky yet exotic synergy; I wear them with dark denim or black. This color combo was big on the runways of the Spring collections of both Prada and Gucci - can you dig it?

Patent-A-Thon: Shoes

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 16:22:22 -0800

Patent leather has officially become one of the latest fashion feeding frenzies. What's fabulous about this material is it is very resistant, timeless and sexy - what more could you ask for? As well, patent is no longer reserved for dressing up or accessories only; the new versions of it can be worn day or night, work or play, yay! Because patent is a plenty, and in such fantastic colors, I thought a week long Patent-A-Thon should provide a good fix. The first installment will be patent shoes to get this patent party started right.

Trend Alert: Abstract Florals

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:24:44 -0800

Florals sure have gotten a face lift for Spring. While bloomers were all over the runways, for those who veer away from classic florals there are abstract florals. For flower power risk takers, these are fun for both the city streets and the tropics. Here are some eye catching floral pieces that titillate the eye.
