Which Marchesa Was Most Fab at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala?

FabSugar — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:50:22 -0800

Last week at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala, Kerry Washington and Georgina Chapman wore pretty, poufy frocks from Georgina's coveted Marchesa line. Both dresses were white, but notice how the two styles varied in texture. Kerry's tulle embellishment and streamlined shape gave a more architectural appeal, while Georgina's feathered creation emoted flirty, flapper energy. Both beauties accessorized with sleek black clutches and matching pumps. This one's a toughie: do you prefer the designer or the celebrity?

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Aqua is one of my favorite affordable brands at Bloomingdale's. It offers of-the-moment pieces that make you stand out but not go broke. They recently constructed a fabulous look book featuring 12 outfits made out of 10 must-have Aqua pieces. A two-tone animal-print dress, sequined mini skirt, cashmere cardigan, plaid shirt, and ruched leggings are all part of the mix-and-match fun. You don't want to miss this.

Fab Finger Discount: Anthropologie Early Blue Chemise

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Sometimes a dress has a great print, sometimes it has a smashing shape, but it's not often you find one that has both and is affordable. This Anthropologie Early Blue Chemise ($30, originally $58) is it. The indigo and violent bud print is darling and the yellow background makes it even sweeter. But what I'm most drawn by is the shape - the asymmetrical bodice, the draped neckline, the cinched waist. I envision it coming further to life with a pair of cozy gray tights and smart oxfords.

Look of the Day: Maximum Impact

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Sometimes, you don't need a lot to make a statement. That's why I like VintageBabe's modern outfit. Her streamlined khaki dress has only one focal point: the wraparound zipper. This detailing might be minimal, but it gives her maximum impact.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Sfera
Blazer: Atmosphere
Tights: Cubus
Booties: Unknown

Congrats to VintageBabe!

Trend Alert: The Trench Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I've always been a fan of Ginnifer Goodwin's sleek style. She manages to give simple pieces a unique twist. Case in point: her Camilla and Marc silk trench dress. Wearing her jacket as a dress alludes to mystery. Is she or isn't she wearing something underneath? Only the wearer remains the wiser.

The trick to pulling this off is wearing a thinner trench made out of silk, satin, or a light cotton. That way, it looks more like a dress, and less like a coat. There are also a couple of "real" trench dresses available for those who don't like drafts. Me? I already own a light cotton trench, so layering it with a thin slip should do the trick.

The fashion gods must be thinking of me. Just the other day, I saw this Silence & Noise Pleated Tunic ($20, originally $38) hoping it would go on sale - ta-dah! I'll wear it with flats right now, and paired with gray tights when the temperature drops. Don't you love it when things go your way?

Celeb Style: Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner attended The Invention of Lying premiere at the TIFF looking quite spectacular in a green tiered dress by Oscar de la Renta dress and Casadei sky-high taupe platform pumps - sizzle. The hue goes great against her brunette locks and I like how metallic silver accessories increase her sparkle. Indeed, this look is quite different from her usual playtime ensembles and I like it!

Fab Finger Discount: Liz Claiborne Stretch Poplin Sack Dress

FabSugar — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:33:22 -0700

Sometimes it's hard to find truly unique frocks that aren't obscenely expensive, but this Liz Claiborne Stretch Poplin Sack Dress ($39, originally $99) is the exception. Trust me, if they had my size, I'd be all over it. What's not to love? The bold persimmon hue is mesmerizing, the paperbag neckline is different, and the pockets are functional. What's also great is that you can dress it up with heels and dress it down with flats.

Alexander Wang Cage Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:13:22 -0700

We all dig the caged sandals trend, but what about Alexander Wang's Cage Dress ($645)? I'm usually a fan of slices but this creation has me in a tizzy. The mummy-like banding has major style potential but it can also look unflattering on a lot of peeps - me included. Hmm, what do you think?

Celeb Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:35:49 -0700

Diane Kruger absolutely shined at the Inglourious Bastards premiere in NYC last night. Her silver and black sequined Miu Miu dress is short, sassy, and scrumptious. I love the textural quality and how the waistband cinches at the waist. For accessories, the German beauty adorned herself with a simple, silver pendant necklace, bangle, and black strappy sandals complete with cute red pout. Perfection if you ask me.
