Trend Alert: Black, White, and Chic All Over

FabSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:50:22 -0700

What's black, white, and chic all over? You! And, The City's Olivia Palermo, Kim Kardashian, and Hilary Duff. I know I'm inspired after seeing these streamlined getups in Coco's favorite colors. When all else fails, black and white always seems right. It may be trendy, but it's also classic. Notice how all three are wearing bright nail polish to pack a little punch.

Celebrity Style: Audrey Tatou

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:00:11 -0700

Isn't Audrey a vision in Chanel? At the Paris premiere of the hotly anticipated Coco Chanel bio-flick, Coco Avant Chanel, she wore a black-and-white floral frock from Lagerfeld's Spring couture collection. She contrasted the prim with a not-so-prim cropped black leather jacket. Swirly black leather Sergio Rossi sandals and a green cocktail ring make for unique accessories. We haven't seen our Fabcon in a while, and can't wait to see more premiere looks from the pseudo Coco.

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers. Black platform sandals elevate the wearer, and the sparkling accessories further feminize. There's not a bit of bunny in this pulled-together look.

Trend Alert: Textural Black and White

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Black and white has had so many incarnations in the past year. It's definitely evolved and it's still relevant - only today, it's textural black and white. Beading, ruching, sheer fabrics, feathers and all of the above, make for a black and white cocktail perfect for a cocktail party. Madonna knows it, and now you do.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:00:22 -0800

I oft express my love for the mix of black and white; with that pairing, one can never go wrong. While shopping on Robertson, Nicky Hilton rocked the classy color combo in the form of a white hot Valentino bag, white Gucci flats, a black velvet blazer, and stovepipe jeans. To sass up her ensemble, she threw in a metallic scarf and black Tom Ford shades. The next time you wear all black, do like Nicky and add a couple white accessories to set you apart.

Giles One-Shoulder Mini Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 07:00:22 -0700

Has going to jail become so glamorous that designers are making clothes inspired by prisoners' outfits? That's what it seems with Giles One-Shoulder Mini Dress (on sale for $2,048, originally $4,095). I do love the combo of black and white, but this is a little too similar to the real thing...well, minus the one-shoulder effect. Would you jailhouse rock it?
