Trend Alert: The Envelope Clutch

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Leave it to mini mogul Ashley Olsen to dress for business while everyone else was wearing flirty frocks at the Sex and the City New York premiere. And that is why we admire the fashion maven moiety. But what's really smart here is her Calvin Klein envelope clutch. It's slick, serious and sophisticated. How does the line go? "I have a head for business and a body for sin." Yes, she does.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Twenty Year High School Reunion

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Twenty years! A fellow Fab reader's high school reunion snuck up on her and now she doesn't know what to wear. It's scheduled for a Saturday night at a local restaurant, so it is not too formal, she says. She would rather be underdressed than over, as she doesn't want to look like she's trying too hard. However, she still wants to look effortlessly chic!

I started you off with this Franchi 'Yasmine Shine' Clutch, $218, because it is understatedly chic. To see all the twenty year reunion Fab Finds, go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Look #1, created by fashionhore is understatedly Fab. The color scheme keeps the outfit from saying "Look at me!" but the individual pieces definitely have flair.

Marion Cotillard and John Galliano and the Mystery of Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I can't live without my bags. After all, it's where I store my daily necessities, and in the case of clutches, my bare necessities. But you don't have to take my word for it.

In a recent interview, French actress and Dior face Marion Cotillard dished about the most important thing in her handbag. “I have this little black book that I write things in. It’s sometimes dangerous things you have in your mind that you put in your little black book and it’s not as dangerous anymore,” said Cotillard. Sounds tantalizing, can we have a peek?

John Galliano's take on handbags is equally sassy, stating, “It is part of their charm, their secret weapon. Who knows what’s in there - keys, wallet, phone. That is all to be expected. Who’s to say what door that spare key opens; why she has her passport tucked in when she’s only going up the road and whose phone number she has scrawled on the back of an envelope . . . I love the unknown - and the what might be.”

Leighton Meester in Bedazzled Preen: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 08:00:22 -0800

Leighton Meester has been known to push the fashion envelope every so often, so when we spotted her wearing this unique Preen dress at the Nylon Mexico launch party we had to dish. Her bedazzled LBD has an interesting mesh overlay and corset-like panel running across the chest. For adornments, the Gossip Girl chose a multi-colored bracelet by House of Lavande, a stingray barrel clutch by Cecelia, and a pair of strappy black sandals. Her ensemble is daring: do you love it or hate it?
