eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 05:00:22 -0700

Just gazing at this cozy Vintage Ivory Sweater makes me want to brave the Winter cold. Okay, not really, but it does make me wish for colder weather so I can show it off. It looks nice wrapped up or let loose. Doesn't it remind you of Stella McCartney's Fall 2007 collection?

The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends next Sunday, November 11. Good luck and happy bidding!

Fab Ad: Aquascutum Fall/Winter 2007 Featuring Gisele

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 10:25:33 -0700

Gisele may have recently parted ways with Victoria's Secret, but that doesn't mean she has said goodbye to modeling once and for all! The Brazilian babe is back in front of the high fashion lenses for Aquascutum's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign. And don't forget she will be the upcoming face of YSl's Fall ads too. This is good news to all you Gisele fans!

Shot in Cliveden - a British mansion infamous for housing a political and sex scandal in the sixties - Gisele is cast by photographer Mario Sorrenti as a bombshell involved in trysts and intrigue. The ads will run in magazines starting in August and September.

I love the idea behind the photographs, but I'm not so sure about the clothes and the finished product. What do you all think?

Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 12:25:34 -0700

Scarlett Johansson is back as the face of Louis Vuitton in the company's Fall/Winter '07 ad campaign. I am happy to see that she actually looks like herself this time! I'm also glad that the LV goods she's modeling are actually something I would consider buying, unlike those lace-infested Dentelle Speedy bags. In these photos, the actress oozes glamour and sex appeal, two things she is very good at. I am absolutely in love with her hair-do in these shots, as well as the patent red shoes! Though, she is extremely pale, but that was probably the artistic intention.

LV creative director Marc Jacobs said that he based his Fall/Winter collection around Scarlett's character in 2003's The Girl with the Pearl Earring. The ads are shot by Vuitton regulars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and are slated to appear in fashion magazines in August.

Nicole Richie Designs New Contemporary Line!

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:37:24 -0700

Nicole Richie is a new mom again, but that's not stopping her from expanding her fashion empire. Along with House of Harlow 1960 and a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod, she is designing a women's contemporary line called Winter Kate (Harlow's middle names). The 37-piece collection, which was inspired by peacocks and other birds, includes tops, vests, bed jackets, and dresses - mini, long slip-style, and kimono-sleeve maxis.

"Fashion should be accessible. That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and it remains my philosophy for Winter Kate," she said. Prices start at $35 and go up to $598 for leather pieces. Look out for the line in February at stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Intermix, and Kitson.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cozy Winter Flats

FabSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:37:22 -0800

I recently presented a challenge that was going to take some thinking outside the box. A Fab reader who lives in NYC seeks warm, semi-dressy flats to wear in the Winter that aren't boots or sneakers. She wants to retire the Chucks she currently lives in, so I asked you to help keep her feet dressy-cozy. I started you off with this Banana Republic Black Skinny Jean ($90) because she will be mostly be wearing the flats with jeans and pants. Let's see your suggestions.

Look #1, created by Claire Underwear, is too cute, especially the ruffle flats.

See the rest.
