Trend Alert: Wintry Whites

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Take a gander at Grey's Anatomy actress Melissa George looking like an uptown snow princess in her wintry white ensemble. This soft tone is a sleek cold-weather option and makes for a great statement. I like how Melissa chose to go all out in head-to-toe Winter white, but if that's too bold for you, I suggest investing in a cozy coat. It's the perfect way to stay stylishly warm.

sandra werner is a sight to see in her black and white ensemble. I like how this sophisticated lady cleverly cinched in her textured coat with a black leather belt. This smart styling trick gives her the perfect hourglass shape. Channeling Carla Bruni-Sarkozy . . .

Here's what she has on:

Coat: Rory Beca
Handbag: Anya Hindmarch

Congrats to sandra werner!

Trend Alert: Creamsicle Coats

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

I knew creamsicle coats were on the move when style-setter Kate Hudson and fashion newbie Miley Cyrus wore them. It's the dead of Winter folks, so this is the perfect antidote to post-holiday blues. The real beauty is that when gallivanting in a creamsicle coat, you can keep the rest simple and elegant. The only thing Geri Halliwell has to look out for here is dirt, and God made dirt and dirt don't hurt.

Celebrity Style: Miley Cyrus

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Miley Cyrus is growing up fast, and her ensemble on New Year's Eve in NYC reflects it. Billy Ray's daughter shielded herself from the cold in a chic winter white coat with oversized black buttons, a knit cap, black gloves, and black suede boots. My only complaint is that her hat and coat are slightly matchy matchy; to fix, I gave her a plaid one. Keep up the Fab work, Miley!

Kate Hudson's Winter White Fur: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:00:22 -0800

A stark white fur coat is quite a way to make a statement when it's nippy. Kate Hudson made a bold appearance in her furry outerwear at Dolce & Gabbana's Pre-Fall 2008 Collection event. I've always thought that Kate wears cold-weather clothing really well, but this is taking it to a highly sophisticated, and dramatic, level. I heart, do you?

How to Wear Winter White

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 06:35:42 -0800

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? This lusciously stark color is actually just right for frigid temperatures, since it's so evocative of snow and Winter solitude. To wear Winter white, just be sure to choose textures-like leather, wool, and bouclé-that are undoubtedly wintery, rather than something like eyelet or linen that looks better suited to springtime. Also, don't be afraid to pair your whites with darker, high-contrast duds. Here are some of my picks for great white pieces you can wear this Winter.

Oscar de la Renta Bouclé Dress, $2,350, available here.

Steve Madden Musicall in White, $94.98, available here.

Akris Double-Faced Jacket and Skirt, $3,500 and $1,590, available here.

Trend Alert: Ice Florals

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

What's the difference between ice florals and moody florals you ask? They're cooler. While I also like a burst of turquoise or coral during Winter months, sometimes black, white, and gray feel more serious. Emma Roberts' cute Miu Miu dress exhibits ice florals perfectly - with a happy note of yellow. Black tights and patent pumps further cool the complementary ensemb.

Haven dark grey floral silk 'Nice' one shoulder dress - $79.00	Poppy Scarf - Black w/Poppy Print - $90.00
Tuleh Eyelet Coat - $1,995.00	Poppy Fields Ring - $95.00

Compare & Contrast: Wearing a Winter White Coat

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

White coats are snowballing as the latest outerwear trend. They're bold, cozy, and the best foray into the season without actually having to freeze. That said, there's a right and wrong way to bundle up in them . . . the proof is in these examples of Kate Moss and Eva Longoria.

Kate Moss: Kate knows how to rock every piece of clothing she owns and a bold white coat is no exception.

Coat: Staying true to her street-chic style, she dons a fancy fur-trim coat yet makes it look casual and effortless.

Shoes: Though she's wearing a stark white coat, she knows better than to go matchy matchy with her footwear. Instead, her suede over-the-knee boots give her a rock 'n roll edge.

Accessories: Because her outerwear is loud, Kate kept the accessories to a bare minimum: a simple clutch and no jewels.

Eva Longoria: The actress opted for a long white coat to keep her fully covered.

Coat: Because she's petite, the long coat is overbearing. Still, the slight flare at the bottom and tie-waist belt lend a girly flair.

Shoes: Pairing UGGs with a classy coat took the look from potentially chic to tacky and immature. They make her legs look unnecessarily stumpy.

Accessories: Can you tell Eva loves to pile on the accessories? A white fedora, jumbo black patent bag, and a tassel - it's all too much. Less would have been way more.
