Sneak Peek! Matthew Williamson's Red Light Special

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:00:22 PST

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so we couldn't resist showing off these appropriately festive Matthew Williamson pieces. These jewels are so Fab, they don't even need a special occasion to be worn. I would sport the dazzling heart brooch ($200) with a sleek black blazer; the luxurious custom initial wallet ($200) would be an everyday essential; and that amazing ribbon necklace ($650) would be perfection against a simple white tee. See what I mean? These goodies will be available at the New York Matthew Williamson store opening later this month. Call the store if you must have!

Fabworthy: Arden B Faceted Double Brooch

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:00:22 PST

I like bearing some skin. Being the California girl that I am, when it's time to bundle up I sometimes replace a flash of skin with a flash of flair. Easing into party season, I've been looking for ways to add individuality to last season's clothes. When I came across this Arden B Faceted Double Brooch ($28), I was not only stopped by the faceted teal jewels but the silver chain connector - it's so Vivienne Westwood, is it not? This would be equally fun on a heather gray tee and a fancy frock. I would so do the brooch with this.

Trend Alert: Do the Brooch

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Preface: you don't need to have straight, blonde hair to do the brooch. That's merely a coincidence (and two Claudia Schiffers) you see. You do need to have an inclination to wearing a vintage style. As you can see from the blondes modeling these all very different brooches, though some of them are decidedly modern in design, they evoke the look of another time. A time when movies were black and white, men always wore hats and gas was insanely cheap. Were those the good old days? . . .

Fab Redux: Over the Moon

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:00:22 PDT

What better to go with your Yves Saint Laurent star bracelet than a pretty Victorian crescent brooch ($65)? That way you've got both the moon and the stars; modern and vintage.

The plated-gold, black enamel pin with a single seed pearl harks back to the 1890s, but still manages to be beautiful. Amazing.

Mark Walsh and Leslie Chin Flaming Heart Brooch: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:00:22 PST

For Rodarte's Spring '08 show, designers Mark Walsh and Leslie Chin accessorized the models with their breathtaking jewels. This Flaming Heart Brooch ($1,250) was one of them. Though it's pretty to see on the runway, I don't think I'd wear this in real life. It's too high-drama! What's your take?

Celebrity Style: Emmanuelle Chriqui

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 13:00:22 PST

Where has Emmanuelle been? I think she is just adorable and wherever she was it did her good because she outshined the other girls at the twelfth annual GQ Men of the Year Awards. Remember how I was just suggesting a one-shoulder look for the holidays? Case in point.

Golden Globes Afterparty: Janelle Monáe

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 07:42:17 PST

Performer Janelle Monáe made quite an entrance at the NBC Universal Globes afterparty. The singer opted for full-on menswear-inspired glam, suiting up in a classic tuxedo look. She added a few femme touches, like a jeweled brooch and diamond studs - not to mention a fabulous red lip. What do you think of Janelle's playful party style?

How to Make Your Own Vintage Brooch Headband

Jaime Richards — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:00:55 PST

Here's a simple way to breathe new life into old jewelry. All you need is a fabric headband in the color of your choice and a vintage (or vintage-inspired) brooch. For this particular version, we pinned a retro-style brooch to a black satin wraparound headband. Aside from this being an easy way to dress up your look, the best part is that the style is not permanent: remove the brooch and affix it to a jacket, scarf, or anything else that needs a little lift. Then hit up the consignment store for its new replacement.
