Fab Body Guide: Assets Unbelievable Underwear

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

The creator of Spanx, Sara Blakely, is continuing her streak of genius with a new line of shapewear called Assets by Sara Blakely ($10-$20).

Take your pick from the unbelievable underwear (left), which sucks in bulges; the sensational shaper, which minimizes your waistline; and the fabulous footless, which makes you look slimmer in the thigh area. As far as I'm concerned, any product that makes me look more streamlined is A-OK!

Golden Globe Awards: Fab's Top Three

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:00:22 -0800

We're still recovering from last night's Golden Globe whirlwind, but we have decided on our top three of the evening. These are the ladies we keep going back to. It's a pretty close race in terms of your best dressed of the night. Our number one - Eva Mendes in Christian Dior - is among the close contenders. But for us, it's unanimous.

Eva rocked this strapless white sculptured Dior gown. It's a fresh silhouette, and color, for the red carpet and for that I am thankful. On stage it was dramatic and moved with grace. She's a fan of sexy up dos and her side swept bangs let her gorgeous face work its magic. She could have stopped at the dress, but she didn't. Yes! Her neck was zealous with a Van Cleef & Arpels turquoise choker and her wrist got in on the turquoise fun, too. Her ears sparkled with diamond clusters. Eva will always be remembered for this perfect Golden Globe attempt.

To see who my second and third picks are, read more.

Drew! How stunning did Drew look? I wasn't surprised - she tends to look great on the red carpet. Drew's been going through a style transformation lately, but she kept it glam for the Globes. She was voted the favorite Dior of the night, and we second that emotion. I thought her tousled goldilocks were fun. The dress was so breezy, and the hair reminded us that Drew is a bit of a wild child at heart. Her red satin Vivier clutch was sexy and her cloudy jewels were decadent.

Olivia is proving to be a red carpet contender. She is beautiful and she always accentuates her assets: her aqua eyes, swan-like neck, and teeny waist. She brought a whiff of color to the carpet in her frothy lavender Reem Acra gown. Don't you just want to touch it? I'm sure it was light as air, luxurious as hell. The jeweled self-belt provided extra sparkle, as did her cluster earrings. Between the cross-over bodice, confectionary color, and baby ruffles, Olivia proved herself a princess.

Trend Alert: See-Thru

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Don't shoot the messenger. This trend takes me back to the mid-90s when Supers wore bra tops under sheer Donna Karan bodysuits. It looked great then, but does it now? Let's examine. Lindsay enjoys showcasing her assets, and she kept her see-thru attempt dark and moody. However, it calls attention to her hips; just an observation. Heidi can pull off most everything, but the mesh over the blue bra isn't my favorite. Too literal. Lauren gets my top vote. Her oversize sheer tee is cute, regardless, and her solid black bra provided full(er) coverage because it looks more like a bikini top. Not for the faint, but if you've got it, flaunt it, right?

Fab Knows Denim! Match the Pocket to the Jean

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Are you one of those super savvy girls who can sit at a sidewalk cafe and ID the jean pockets of every passerby? I know you're not staring at their assets, you're just reveling in denim. And what's not to love? It's classic, it's cool, and it's an everyday staple. So tell me: Can you ID these assets?

Question 1 of 5

Who is very light and tight?

Fab Flash: Steve & Barry's Final Bow

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:00:22 -0800

Tear. After a long, hard struggle, Steve & Barry's will finally cut its losses. The current flailing economy has forced the retailer to file for its second bankruptcy. Steve & Barry's, which featured fun collections from the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Amanda Bynes, and Venus Williams, plans to liquidate all assets. Another one bites the dust. This one will be dearly missed.

A Fabby Halloween: Betty Boop

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Want to be cute as a button come Halloween? Betty Boop may be old (circa 1932) but she's still got it. I was BB a few years ago and it was a cheap, flirtatious costume. The key pieces are the black curly wig, a bustier neckline, a garter belt, and gold hoops and bangles. The rest can be left to the imagination. Like any true fashion-loving gal, BB had a large closet. She was seen in little pink dresses, festive attire, sexy LBDs, even cowgirl outfits, but the BB I admire the most is the simply sexy one. Oh, and for this, you may want to invest in some boob inserts - BB's cleavage was one of her proudest assets.

Fab Flash: Would You Miss Steve and Barry's?

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:00:22 -0700

UPDATE: Steve & Barry's have officially went under and has filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in Manhattan bankruptcy court.

Tear. Mega retail chain Steve and Barry's is headed toward major financial downturn. The 28-year-old clothing chain who recently gained popularity for carrying celebrity sportswear lines - most notably, Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker - at rock-bottom prices has filed for bankruptcy protection.

Steve and Barry's is set to shut down a large number of its 270 stores and will most likely be forced to liquidate all assets. So how does SJP feel about this failed venture? “We are surprised and disappointed that this situation has developed. We are surprised because our understanding, based on the accounting statements we see, was that sales have been very, very strong” said Sarah Jessica Parker's lawyer, Ira Schreck.

Let's not lose hope too soon. The company is looking for an acquisition; Sears and Kmart have showed interest, with the possibility of continuing a partnership with its licensed celebrity lines. Would you miss Steve and Barry's?

Fab Flash: Jimmy Choo Founder Tamara Mellon Sues Mom

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Tamara Mellon, founder of the famed Jimmy Choo shoes, served her mother, former Chanel model Ann Yeardye, with a $10 million lawsuit yesterday.

The suit cites breach of contract: both Yeardye and Mellon formerly held a stake in Jimmy Choo, but when they sold the business in 2004, Yeardye allegedly received stock in error that should rightfully have gone to Mellon. Yeardye supposedly refuses to return the stock, and thus Mellon said yesterday: "It is with immense sadness that I take this action, but I see no other way to protect my daughter's interests, which are my paramount concern. The property in question was to help secure my daughter's future, and I am baffled by my mother's refusal to return assets which rightfully do not belong to her." What an unfortunate situation.
