Kristen Stewart Style, Post-Twilight, Present-New Moon

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Ever since Twilight, we've been watching Bella Swan, I mean, Kristen Stewart, like a hawk. Her street style hasn't changed much - jeans, tee, and leather jacket are her usual M.O. - but her red carpet looks have evolved into something magical. In the beginning of her post-Twilight stardom, the actress shied away from elaborate gowns and funky frocks, but times have changed and so has Kristen. As of late, the star has been dazzling us with head-to-toe designer looks from the likes of Jason Wu, Alexander McQueen, and Oscar de la Renta, to name a few. Hottie Robert Pattinson as arm candy doesn't hurt, either. Is it just me, or is the shy wallflower starting to bloom into an elegant rose? See what I'm talking about!

Rihanna: A Fashion Metamorphosis

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Enter into the world of Rihanna. Since 2005, the Barbadian beauty caught my attention with her catchy songs, and even more so, her megawatt style. When Rihanna first hit the scene, she stayed within the sexy singer realm via colorful body-con frocks and separates. As the years went along, she took a turn towards high fashion. After attending numerous runway shows, Rihanna developed an edgier sense of dressing - who can forget those star shaped pasties - and started donning clothes and accessories from the likes of Chanel, Alexander Wang, and Rodarte, to name a few. Despite a tough year, the songstress continues to impress me with her daring in-your-face ensembles and experimental hairdos. Let's take a look at Rihanna's astounding fashion metamorphosis.

Fab Finger Discount: Alexander Wang Silk Tank

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Kristin Cavallari wore a cool Alexander Wang dress on her date with Justin Bobby on The Hills last night. I was totally crushing . . . on the dress, silly! I found the top version, this Alexander Wang Silk Tank ($104, originally $265) for less than half off. Gotta love Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale. Doesn't the print remind you of Tetris?

I Love Your Shopstyle: Singin' in the Rain

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

The nonstop precipitation has me in a bit of a funk, but natural born styler brightened up my day. Her rainproof ensemble makes me want to start singin' in the rain. She refrained from featuring the per-usual rain jacket and galoshes, and, instead, chose a pair of patent boots, skinny trousers, Lichtenstein sweater, and fringe poncho complete with a clear, kitschy umbrella! Now that's what I call slick, wet-weather dressing.

Celeb Style: Kristin Cavallari

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:18:14 -0700

Leave it to The Hills hottie Kristin Cavallari to make a regular plaid shirt look smokin'! The reality starlet shopped on Melrose wearing an Elizabeth and James plaid shirt, black skinny jeans, and Louboutin pumps. Ray Ban Wayfarers shielded her from the paps, while her Alexander Wang bag stashed all her cash. Her look is a testament to the fact that simplicity can have a major impact.

Celeb Style: Ellen Page

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:23:04 -0700

A lot of stylish hotties were present at the Whip It premiere in LA last night, but one in particular caught my eye - Ellen Page. The young star stepped out of her fashion shell and donned a tough, yet sleek, grommet embellished LBD by Alexander Wang - she's totally on trend with those sheer sleeves. To further her funk, Ellen wore hardcore cutout booties by Rachel Comey, layered chains, and a studded clutch.

The Look For Less: Alexander Wang Shirt Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

When I came across this Alexander Wang T-Shirt Dress ($395), it immediately went on my must list. I love the contrast between the slouchy top and the curve-hugging skirt, paired together forming one perfect design. It's an effortless dress-it-up, dress-it-down mini. The only snag - splurge city. Not to be discouraged, I went in search of something cheaper, but just as Fab.

To see the look for less, read more.

Forever 21's Elastic Waist Colorblock Dress ($16) fits the bill. It has the same silhouette and feel as Wang's shirt dress - with a major discount. Now, there's room in the budget for some slick stilettos.

Trend Alert: Luggin' It

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

After attending Burberry Prorsum's magnificent show, the multi-talented Gwyneth Paltrow attended the afterparty showing off her all-Burberry, all-bodacious 'fit. While I can swoon for hours about her warped baby blue skirt, I'm going to focus on her tough shoes. They're the perfect example of fashion meets function. Luggin' it in lug soled shoes will not only keep your toes cozy, it'll also prevent you from slipping in the rain, sleet, or snow. Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it.

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:50:22 -0700

It not only kept her cozy, but it also tempered the girly print on her maxi dress. If you're looking to add an extra spark of bad to your 'fit, this is how you do it.
