Fab Flash: Stars Design Charms to Aid Cancer Research

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:30:22 -0700

Kate Moss, Scarlett Johansson and Christian Louboutin have all contributed a charm for this year's limited edition necklace in aid of Cancer Research UK. Each charm reflects the personal experience and character of its creator. Kate's (far right) is a pretty turquoise and silver swallow; Scarlett's (second from left) a white, yellow and orange lily; Christian's (center) is what else but a small golden shoe with his signature red sole.

The necklace, about $51, can be purchased starting September at Wallis. Twenty dollars from each necklace will go towards Cancer Research UK's work.

Trend Alert: Charm Jewelry - Part 1: Necklaces

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 11:54:37 -0700

Welcome to our three part series on hot trend, charm jewelry. This trend has been popping in and out of my life for as long as I can remember. I think it started with those awesome plastic charm necklaces in grade school that we used to trade on the playground. Then in high school my mom got me a silver charm bracelet so I could collect charms for each of my accomplishments. Most recently I was given a gorgeous gold charm bracelet from my in-laws so I can collect charms on all of my travels. Well it seems charm bracelets, necklaces and earrings are everywhere these days, so I am right in style.

Below are some of my charm necklace picks. Stay tuned tomorrow for charm bracelets.

Charm Jewelry - Part II: Bracelets

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 06:00:00 -0700

Welcome to Day 2 of our series on charm jewelry. Yesterday we told you about charm necklaces and today is all about charm bracelets. I love the idea of collecting charms for various occasions in one's life, which is why I am so happy to see this trend popping up again. A charm bracelet is a great gift for someone else or for yourself. I love mine because whenever I go on a trip, I always buy a charm to remind me of the adventure. I think of the trip every time I wear the bracelet and it's a much better souvenir than a t-shirt!

Here are some of my charm bracelet picks:

This is the most classic pick. A simple 18k Gold Charm Bracelet with plenty of space for adding charms over the years. Available here for $625. Also comes in silver for $35.

Pre-Fashion Week Prowl: Secrets Of Charm

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 13:45:43 -0700

New York Fashion Week officially kicks off today, but on Wednesday, I was lucky enough to attend a fabulous pre-Fashion Week runway show at New York's Soho House, unveiling the Spring line from Secrets of Charm, created by designer sisters Sharon and Estee Elkayam.

Inspired by Bibi Anderson's character Sara in the Ingmar Bergman film Wild Strawberries, the line abounds with feminine, flirty, springtime frocks made from light and simple fabrics like silk, chiffon, and twills. Adorned with lots of exquisite details, the classic forms combine playful patterns-like gingham, polka dots, stripes, and florals-with ruching and ruffle details that give the line a modern and delicate edge.

Sneak Peek! Anthropologie, Fall '09

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

Anthropologie's November catalog is a surefire way to get in the holiday spirit. British model Jacquetta Wheeler - dressed in everything from pretty lace to cozy sweaters - is seen frolicking in (faux) snow. It's all so romantic. I can't help but be consumed by the impressive styling, and I'm sure CasaSugar is mesmerized by the rustic scene. Granted, not everyone wears shorts in the snow, but I adore Jacquetta's outfit here; a little checkers, a little wool, equals a lot of charm. Experience it for yourself.
