FabSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 02:00:08 -0700

akaprincess00 looks a little sleepy and a lot of cute in this photo. Her simply '40s inspired outfit is polished, posh, and perfect. The pink cardigan gives her look that extra splash of color and I adore the black patent open-toe pumps!

Here's what she has on:

Cardigan: Mossimo
Tank: Charlotte Russe
Skirt: Mossimo
Shoes: Enzo
Necklace: Kenneth Cole

Congrats to akaprincess00!

Trend Alert: Super Slick Black Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:00:22 -0800

If Catwoman carried a bag, it would be a super slick black bag. There's everything sexy about one of these. Sexy ... and dangerous. Sexy, dangerous, and ready to kick some ass. Sorry, got a little carried away. One can get caught up in the fantasy of one of these dark lovelies. If you consider yourself a Hero-type, rescue one of these from retail doom and never look back. Ever.

Simply Fab: Sanita Black Patent Leather Clog

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

I love clogs. Whether they have traditional hand-painted flowers on them or are cosmopolitan slick, like these Sanita Black Patent Leather Clogs ($115), which are the closest thing I've found to a super comfortable and cute shoe.

I know what you're thinking: They look like hospital shoes. But I saw a girl wearing these last weekend and thought they looked very functional chic. The bit of height and tread on the bottom prevent exposure and slippage in murky, icy waters and the patent leather makes them acceptable in fashion circles. You ask what kind of stylish shoe one can wear in a blizzard? Look no further.

Fabworthy: Jeffrey Campbell Black Patent Leather Platforms

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Many of you loved the shoes I wore to a recent wedding so I had to share the details. They are the very reason I grew to love the silk ruffle-neck dress I ordered a while ago. I had tried the dress on with countless other shoes but nothing was making sense. As soon as I tried it with these Jeffrey Campbell Marly Black Patent Leather Platforms ($110), something clicked; they breathed life to my dress, sort of like how Gwyneth Paltrow's powerful shoes complemented her awesome Iron Man premiere dresses. Plus, they were amazing to me all night. Nary a scratch or blister, nada. If I had more thumbs, I'd give them five thumbs up.

Dita Von Teese in Christian Dior Leather Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:37:22 -0700

Oh, the things I would do to be invited to a Christian Dior runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Luckily, Dita Von Teese doesn't have to worry about such minor details. The Wonderbra ambassador attended the show looking like a vintage-meets-badass babe in a decadent low-cut Christian Dior black leather dress complete with black leather gloves. While most leather frocks are short and skimpy, Dita kept her ensemble proper with a longer hemline and regal accessories. I'm in lust with her structured leopard print bag and Christian Louboutin patent t-strap pumps. What are your thoughts?

Who Wore It Better? Rebecca Minkoff Polka-Dot Blouse

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

While Rebecca Minkoff was expanding her fashion empire, showing her capsule Spring RTW collection and newest trendy accessories at New York Fashion Week, Lauren Conrad and Michelle Tractenberg dropped by in the same black and white polka-dot blouse - I'm guessing it's from the designer's aforementioned collection. Lauren upped the style ante in cropped leather pants, while Michelle shined via peep-toe patent pumps. Lauren grabbed the turquoise RM clutch, Michelle is a red RM bag/matching red lips kinda gal. Who worked this classic blouse better?

The Bag To Have: Longchamp Black Patent Leather Légende

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 03:30:22 -0700

I am not in lust with this Longchamp Légende, $980, merely because Kate Moss is carrying it in the brand's Fall/Winter ads. I swear! This is a doctor bag perfected. I especially love the patent leather, the double pockets and the svelte handles. The best part comes when you open the purse: it has red lining that is a sassy surprise!

Although you may think it's too big, I beg to differ. It can double as a weekend bag and an everyday purse. I would lug it to the office with all my important papers, magazines, and Blackberry; and then I would pack all my favorite looks and take it for a fun weekend ride! See? I don't need Kate to influence me to take this shiny stunner home with me because I can convince myself! That, is true love.

Nicky Hilton attended a party in the Hamptons wearing a hot LBD by Mason by Michelle Mason. I've been eying this frock for a while now, and now seeing Nicky in it sealed the deal for me. The lace slices show just enough skin, and notice how she continued the cutout theme with sexy sandals. A black leather jacket, patent Chanel clutch, silver bangles, and statement ring complete her sexy cool ensemble.

Which Stylin' Cannes Brad Do You Prefer?

FabSugar — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:44:52 -0700

Oh, Brad. If there were a male peacock at the Cannes Film Festival, it would be Brad. While we were loving or hating the ladies' red carpet looks, Brad was suiting up in Tom Ford. He worked a pastel suit for the Inglourious Basterds press conference. This reminds me of his stellar wardrobes in the Ocean's movies - so slick. His taupe scarf and brown loafers were fun grandpa-gone-glam touches. Later, he went all-out tux for the red carpet. The tuxedo stripes down the sides of the pants add some shine, a white ascot is quite dapper, and I love black patent leather shoes on men. Both times he donned fresh aviators. I'm dying to know: which stylin' Cannes Brad makes your heart flutter?
