Celebrity Style: Amber Valetta

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:00:22 -0700

I always look forward to seeing veteran models on the red carpet, especially when they have enviably effortless style. Amber Valetta attended Fashion For Life 2008 in a strapless metallic bronze dress, accessorized with a gold box clutch, strappy sandals, and bangles. It's an unfussy and elegant look that can easily be imitated even in a different color palette.

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Strapless Mini Dress - $286.00	Gold Box Clutch by Nancy Gonzalez - $750.00
Vince Camuto Ryvah Gold - Footwear - $154.00	Nordstrom Diamond Cut Tube Bangle Bracelet - $24.00

Celebrity Style: Eva Longoria

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:00:02 -0800

You would think an actress with free designer duds at her disposal would wear high end to the launch of Samsung's Blackjack II, but down-to-earth Eva Longoria opted for an Armani Exchange Drape Front Dress. I love the rich, bronze hue and her rhinestone spiral sandals. Way to make something so inexpensive (it's on sale for $70!) look so red-carpet chic.

Slinky Drape Front Dress - $98.00	Rene Caovilla silver rhinestone ankle spiral sandals - $684.00
L'Agence Mid Calf Pant - $348.00	Nordstrom Metallic Croc Flap Clutch - $168.00
Stephen Dweck Bronze Quartz Ring - $535.00

Trend Alert: The Bronze Gladiator

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:00:22 -0700

I revel in it when a previous bargain of mine finally makes it to trend status. Not to brag, but I scored a pair of Christian Dior bronze gladiators over a year ago on major markdown - they were from the 2008 Cruise collection. It was right when gladiators were surfacing, though I've always liked the masculine/feminine sandal. Now gladiators are every which where and it was hard to miss Gwyneth's Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain bronze sandals at the Two Lovers premiere in Cannes. So we all have black ones, move on to the lover, the fighter, the bronze gladiator.

Sicilly Bronze Paris - $49.95	MIA - Godiva (Bronze Leather) - $72.00
Steve Madden 'Lilaac' Sandal - $79.95	Giuseppe Zanotti Braided Multi-Strap Metallic Sandal - $595.00
Boutique 9 'Rae' Gladiator Sandal - $129.95	Steve Madden - Croww Bronze Leather - $80.00
Modern Vintage Women's Fernanda Gladiator Sandal - $224.95	All Saints Flat Ring Gladiator Sandal - $86.52
White Mountain "Natasha" Sandal - $45.00

The Look For Less: Mike & Chris Dusted Bronze Leather Jacket

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:08 -0700

I've been drooling over Mike & Chris leather jackets for quite a while, but the duo's latest design has me in a daze. This Mike & Chris Bronze Leather Jacket ($885) is très chic.

Metallic? Check. Leather? Check. I really need this awesome jacket but yikes! The price tag will leave me in financial agony. That leaves me with one choice. Find something cheaper, of course.

Now that's much better. This Spiegel Cropped Metallic Leather Jacket ($109, originally $129) is still awfully cute and much more affordable. I like how the scarf collar adds a sophisticated touch to the sheeny texture.

Double The Look For Less: L.A.M.B. Bronze Woven Gala Sandals

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

I knew I had to have these L.A.M.B. Bronze Gala Woven Sandals ($325) as soon as I laid eyes on them. They're perfectly woven, and the crisscross detail is the cherry on top. Too bad they're too pricey to ever make it out of my wish list and onto my feet.

Betsey Johnson shoes don't come that cheap, but these Betsey Johnson Woven Fina Sandals ($175) are bearable. They are practically twins with the version above. But if they're still out of your price range . . .

Though they're not exactly the same, these Mikala Siena Woven Sandals ($88 ) still exude the same style. They are woven and have a bit of pearlized sheen to lend an air of sexiness.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:15:59 -0700

When the runway is red and the invite has a threaded red stripe through it, does that promise a red-hot collection? When it's Phillip Lim it does. As expected, Lim's first couple looks were red - a lipstick-red double-breasted shirt jacket and roll-down waist pants, a slick red rain trench, red crystal sunglasses (have to have those). But Lim knows you can have too much of a good thing and quickly switched to cool gray knits and his favorite tomboyish shorts, cardis, and button downs.

Unordinary details like "illusion" bow fasteners, embellished belts, and collaged textures separated Lim from the rest. And then came the sparkle. Bronze and silver sequin panels on accordion pleat dresses and a straight-up silver sequin shirt dress surely sent front rowers Lauren Conrad and Leighton Meester's hearts aflutter. And the finale dress, on death-staring Karlie Kloss: ivory lace tiered "compilation" dress with abstract cubist sculptural organza appliqué. The mirrors at the entrance of the runway made Karlie appear to be strutting through the looking glass . . .

Fab Gift Guide: BFF Guy

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:00:22 -0800

No matter what anyone says, you and your BFF Guy are strictly platonic - for real. He comes over without calling, belches in front of you, and treats you like his little sis. He's silly and kick back, so get him gifts that will suit his fun-loving personality. After all, he still has time to shape up and be a young professional.

Be sure to peruse all of our Gift Guides and download our Fab Gift Guide worksheet to help keep you organized!

Armani Exchange Squared Belt ($40, originally $58)	LOMO Diana camera ($60)
Triple Five Soul Shibuya Plaid Backpack ($128)	CO-OP Barneys New York Billed Skully ($40)
Napoleon Dynamite sleep mask ($9)	Coach Anckor Keyfob ($48)	Urban Outfitters Brown Sound Bronski Full Zip Sweater ($89)

Celebrity Style: Eva Mendes

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:30:22 -0700

Eva looks devilishly good in Zac Posen, which she wore for an appearance on Letterman last night to promote her new movie We Own the Night. The dress hugs her in all the right places (although maybe a bit too much around the hips?), and the copper-tone pumps set off her warm complexion perfectly. Viva la Eva!

Zac Posen Delos tweed print dress, $2,100	Forever 21 Drop Chain Earrings, $5
Forever 21 Yurmez Ring, $5	Nine West Gaffer, $79	J. Crew Suede Stella Clutch, $98

2007 Cannes Film Festival: Eva Mendes

FabSugar — Sat, 26 May 2007 15:44:44 -0700

Eva has entered the jungle in her Anna Molinari off-the-shoulder, leopard print frock at the We Own The Night premiere at Cannes. Is it me or does Eva's hair color match her dress and bag - which we speculate is Lanvin? Overall, I like the look, though it doesn't drive me crazy. I do appreciate that she chose white peep toe Loubs instead of brown or black. What do you all think of her look?
