Animal Hause

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:00:22 -0700

By now, most of you know that in addition to fashion I also love animals. I am, after all, mommy to my Frenchie Annabelle. Imagine taking our favorite animals and pairing them with the industry's hottest models and the world's most sought-after designers. Welcome to the animal hause! I've been noticing many a editorial featuring our furry, and not-so-furry, friends: dogs, monkeys, elephants, cats, cheetahs. Oh, and an eland (a type of antelope) like the one model Behati Prinsloo is battling in April's Harper's Bazaar. Some of these are sexy, some are scary, some serious, and some comical. Welcome to the jungle baby.

Trend Alert: Cat Print Minis

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Sigh, I will never tire of Miranda Kerr's cuteness. In addition to being one of Victoria's Secret's top models, the natural beauty is also a master at casual cool styling. While running errands in her native hometown of Sydney, Australia, she cranked up the fashion factor by pairing a blazer and tee with a vivacious cat print mini. Genius. These savage minis - whether lush leopard, cheetah, or tiger prints - add the ideal dose of animal instinct, and look best paired with loose casual tops. Just look at Miranda for inspiration; you know I will.

Trend Alert: Oversized Cat Eyes

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

There are many reasons why I adore Christina Ricci's casual Cali ensemble, but it's her tortoise Tom Ford oversize cat eyes that immediately caught my attention. These supersized sunnies - my favorite shape to date- complement most faces and add extra mysterious sass to any look. They transformed her outfit from cute to cunning and can do the same for you.

Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ? Why it's the always-adorable Christina Ricci. She teamed hers with skinny jeans, cat-eye sunnies, and a luscious gray Chanel bag. Not too shabby. A look that works for both the city and the country - and the road trip in between.

DSquared's Camp Chic: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:00:22 -0700

DSquared always amuses. Their hodgepodge style draws inspiration from some of the most random places. For Spring, the twin bros were inspired by the great outdoors. Camping, to be specific. Last season it was the paparazzi prone PYTs of Hollywood, and I loved the layering and cheeky accessories. There are fashion-loving girls who don't mind the dirt and insects that come with tough terrain, but when did trucker hats get cute again? Adversely, the plaids, cat-eye specs, Band-Aids, glittering bracelets, and bottles, are fabulous touches. The splattered purple dress is rugged chic at its best. Are you feeling it?

Fab Site: CatBirdNYC.com

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 11:00:22 -0700

CatBirdNYC.com is what I would refer to as mecca - for unique jewelry that is. Owner Rony Vardi stocks mostly local Brooklyn designers, many of whom she's found through some subway stalking: "I stop people on the subway if I like something they're wearing to find out where they got it."

Thus Catbird has become synonymous with silver rattler necklaces, gunmetal mounted buck rings, and silver sparrow earrings. Or to summarize, if you want quirky accents, get thee to Catbird!
