I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Georgina Sparks

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:07:11 PDT

The debut of Georgina Sparks on last night's Gossip Girl was just as dramatic as the previews made it out to be . . . this girl has trouble written all over her. Her look seems to be all lamé leggings, studs, and spray-on jeans thus far, which is a fun departure from Blair's high maintenance look and Serena's Kate Moss-inspired wardrobe. From her patent Jimmy Choos and black J Brand skinnies to her Gucci reptilian handbag and tangle of chains, the former Buffy sibling is projecting pure attitude. I wonder what kind of trouble she's going to stir up as "Sarah."

Trend Alert: Back Language

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:00:22 PDT

We've all shown some skin from the front, but how about the back? The open back is hot hot hot and is a fresh alternative to showing some skin. Rihanna's definitely speaking some back language in a low scooped leather ensemble while showing off her latest tattoo. I know you're fretting about what type of bra to wear with this back-baring look but we've got it all figured out for you.

Celebrity Style: Eugenia Silva

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:30:22 PDT

At the Supper Club New York launch party last night, Spanish-born model Eugenia Silva looked smashing and effortlessly high fashion. You may recognize her from Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera fragrance ads, Victoria's Secret catalogs, as well as from catwalks all over the world. But back to the matter at hand. Her fur jacket is exquisite to say the least, and I admire how she kept the rest of her outfit subdued. She's definitely one to keep on our fashion radar.

Definition: Worsted

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:00:22 PDT

Worsted

Longer, combed yarns, tightly twisted, less fuzzy, crisp in appearance.

The name derives from the village of Worstead in the English county of Norfolk. This village became a center for the manufacture of yarn and cloth after weavers from Flanders (once a region overlapping parts of Belgium, France, and the Netherlands) arrived in Norfolk in the 12th century.

Trend Alert: Vests

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 11:11:58 PDT

Vests are hot right now and this is one trend that will carry you through all of the seasons. Wear them long or short, bare or with a tee, tank or long sleeve top underneath. I love the look of a vest. They are easy to dress up (pair them with a skirt or basic pants) or be funky and accessorize your vest with a pair of low cut jeans and a long necklace. Here are a few that I've got my eye on:

Ya Ya's Double Breasted Denim Vest is adorable. It's cropped and funky. I especially like the big gold buttons (how cute would it be with gold ballet flats?) You can buy it here for $184.80.

Or there's this Joe Bush Vintage Tan and Brown Canvas Plaid Vest that Mischa wore on The O.C. It's on sale for $80 and you can buy it here. Oh, it's not really vintage it's actually new but the fabric is made from vintage men's pants. It's what makes them unique.

Two more, so

My favorite look of all, is this BCBG Max Azria "Nelly" Pinstripe Vest. It comes in navy "Midnight" blue with white stripes and it sells for $138. You can buy it here. Source

Would You Decorate Your Tree to Reflect Your Profession?

CasaSugar — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:30:40 PST

Aside from being the focal point of Christmas decor, trees also carry a lot of sentimentality. Think about the ornaments on your tree and the story behind each one. Still, some people crave a decorating scheme that tells even more of a story. One way to achieve this is by decorating with objects that reflect your profession, like the bright red saucepans and rolling pins on this tree in Paula Deen's Savannah Beach House Ya'll Come Inn. Though this look might not be for everyone, it certainly sparks ideas for how to experiment with unconventional Christmas tree decor.
