Trend Alert: Lace Insets

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Take this moment to appreciate Heidi's sexy prowess at the opening of Victoria's Secret flagship location. I admire how she's always taking risks with her fashion choices. The lace insets on her Louis Vuitton mini dress are quite the departure from the classic LBD. This special detailing lends a sexy yet demure vibe to any top or dress. Instant chic - I want it.

Who Wore It Better? YAYA Aflalo Black and Red Floral Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Moody florals continue to raid our closets. Actress Anna Farris first wore YAYA Aflalo's floral dress to MTV's TRL back in August. She topped it with a black boyfriend blazer and suede boots. Hottie Heidi Klum also wore the dress to the Victoria's Secret Lexington Avenue grand-opening party in NYC. She too topped hers with a long burgundy coat. Instead of boots, Heidi opted for black peep-toe pumps. Both ladies have it going on, but who wore it better?

Celebrity Style: Double the Lauren Conrad, Double the Fun

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:00:22 -0700

You knew this was coming - I can't resist Lauren's laid-back chic sometimes. She's a bona fide girl about town promoting her Mark cosmetics gig, and then appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman last night. She pulled a Carrie Bradshaw wearing a studded belt with both of these looks. For David, she was tailored and tough in Alice + Olivia navy wide-leg trousers and Mike & Chris cropped leather jacket - no LC outfit is complete without a Chanel bag. For Mark, she wore a skirt from Whitney Port's clothing line, said studded belt and a Fab Yaya Aflalo polka-dot tank. Which look do you like better?

Trend Alert: The Birds

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

I always knew Liv was cool. I think she's subtly channeling her Halloween spirit here in a black-and-white bird-print blouse. With ghouls and goblins top of mind, wearing something stylishly somber is so Fab. Whether donning a busy print or a single creature of flight, the birds put me in the mood for a Hitchcock marathon.

Celebrity Style: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Let's play first lady of France dressup. Carla looks every bit the part after a visit to the Met in New York - Bentley in tow. I wish I could browse endless walls of art wearing an origami folded neck skirt suit, Tod's flats, and a perfect little Dior bag. Carla proves you can still look buttoned-up and sophisticated in flats (sigh). This is a great work or interview look so pay attention to this first lady.

We've been crushing on newcomer Emma Stone lately but there's another cast member of The House Bunny that's looking good, too. Anna Farris appeared on MTV's TRL in a YAYA Aflalo strapless floral dress, a black boyfriend blazer, and some cool suede boots. Like her costar, Anna threw on gold bangles to give the look a glamorous undertone. It looks like these bunnies are shaping up to be quite the style mavens.

Trend Alert: Crochet Cool

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

You probably think crochet is best left for the elderly but think again. Mischa certainly doesn't think so. I always knew this girl was a flower child at heart and here she is looking crochet cool while frolicking in the warm sands of Malibu. You don't have to be beach-side to sport this trend. These vintage-inspired confections easily translate into a whimsical top or dress; just remember to play it cool.

Trend Alert: Don't Sweat It in Jacket Vests

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Want to achieve the look of a chic blazer without having to sweat it out? Jacket vests will do the job. This sleeveless innovation, worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell and yours truly, will keep you cool and collected during these blissful months of warm weather.

Here's a Fab idea: Instead of buying a new one, take an old blazer into your local seamstress and have her take the sleeves off for you. Voilà - instant jacket vest!

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Georgina Sparks

Ooh, Georgina does not look happy. Looks like her karma finally caught up with her on the season finale of Gossip Girl. She's being sent away to girls gone bad boot camp, but I hope we see her rebellious, moody style again. Something tells me she'll be back . . .

Did you take our fabulous season finale Gossip Girl fashion quiz?!
