Trend Alert: Wide(r) Brim Hats

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Maria! In Acapulco, Mexico, no less. Check out model Mariacarla Boscono at the Acapulco Moda Nextel press conference-looking Summer glam in a wide(r) brim hat and gold brocade dress. And you know what? I realized that a shorter-rim hat doesn't provide as much sun protection as a floppy or wider-brim fedora. So may I suggest a super-chic, super coverage hat for long Summer days? Maria's fedora still manages to be menswear cool . . . follow her lead and pair it with a glamorous dress for optimum decadence.

Fabworthy: Forever 21 Neon Checker Trim Fedora

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 03:00:08 -0700

Sure we've seen fedoras. But this Forever 21 Neon Checker Trim Fedora ($10) stands out for being ska-tastic. The hot pink and black checkered band is totally The Specials circa '81. No need to check the mirror in the bathroom - you look mighty fine.

Celebrity Style: Reese Witherspoon

Reese always looks comfy. But she always manages to look polished, too. Post living la dolce vita with her beau Jake, Reese arrived at LAX looking incognito cool. Her baby blue cotton dress is airplane friendly, while her charcoal grey cardi and fringed sandals are multifunctional cute. Some simple jewels add sparkle and her never-leave-home-without-it fedora and shades scream superstar.

Baby Rib Cut-Out Dress - $26.00	Lurex V-neck Boyfriend Cardigan - $44.50
Candie's® Fringe Flip-Flops - $20.00	Contrasting Band Fedora - $12.50
32" Cable-Chain Necklace - $68.00	Argento Vivo gold tribal disc pendant necklace - $58.00
Erica Anenberg Blind Faith Braile Ring in Gold - $95.00	Tom Ford Jack Sunglasses, Black - $360.00

Celebrity Style: Ashley Tisdale

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:00:22 -0700

I'm starting to develop a teeny bopper girl crush on Ashley Tisdale. What can I say? The High School Musical star is quite a little cutie in her trendy LA warm-weather looks. Earlier, she perfectly exemplified the beauty of an elongated cardi. She's wearing some favorites here: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, fedora, a macho watch, Louis Vuitton bag, Havaianas flip-flops. But what sets this apart is the colored bra underneath her all-white ensemble, which is a styling technique I personally partake in.

This Week's Fab Favorite: May Andersen

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. Not in Danish model May Andersen who looked perfect shopping in NYC this week, but in the Couture week attendees. No one really stood out as a Fab favorite of the week. And so, the crown goes to this utterly cool and comfy model and her all-black fit.

It is a bit trendy - the romper, the fedora, Ray Bans, studded flat sandals - but all of these trends suit the model's whatever attitude. I also like that she's incognito. She looks perfectly at ease walking down the street, Milk shopping bag in tow (I wonder what she bought?), chatting on her cell. The accessories are dope: black and cream fedora, black leather Chanel bag, stacked black and gold bracelets. Her bracelets actually match her shoes - an interesting touch. The next time you're debating what to wear on a perfectly sunny day fit for errands, fit yourself like May.

Celebrity Style: Reese Witherspoon

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:08:34 -0700

Reese Witherspoon ditched her usually classic ensembles for something a bit more multifaceted, and I'm proud of her for expanding her horizons. While out and about with boyfriend Jake, the actress wore an airy black jersey dress, a cropped red cardigan, and accessorized with studded Tod's sandals and a woven Bottega bag. It seems more and more actresses are bringing the fedora back. Since it took a long, much-needed break, a comeback was in order.

Tart black jersey 'Jodi' tank dress - $114.00	See by Chloè Cropped wool blend cardigan - $580.00
Braided Straw Fedora - $44.00	Bottega Veneta black woven leather fold-over shoulder bag - $1,904.00
Tod's Nuovo Matisse Flat Sandal - $395.00	Gc Silver Classique Watch - $225.00
Argento Vivo silver pyramid stud earrings - $32.00

How Would YOU Wear It? Paris Hilton

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Paris, oh Paris - did you get dressed in the dark? You all know that I despise matchy matchiness and this is precisely why. I can't believe that she voluntarily wore this ensemble for a night out in LA. There are several issues at hand. First, fedoras are a thing of the past. Second, the head-to-toe brown makes her look like a long piece of...kebab.

Paris should have kept the sequin tank and leopard pumps, but done away with the rest. A pair of Kate Moss' favorite J Brand Lovestory jeans and a simple bronze clutch would have made for a far more stylish and flattering look.

Who's That Girl?

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:00:22 -0700

ATTENTION: Before reading on, look at the photos below and guess who the blonde girls in fedoras are. Ok, read on...

On Monday, I was playing PopSugar's Guess Who? when I mistook Nicky Hilton (left), clad in an off-white fedora, for Ashlee Simpson. On Tuesday, again, I played Guess Who? and swore Carmen Electra (center), wearing a similar fedora, was Ashlee. That got me thinking, "When did Ashlee, Nicky and Carmen, three very distinct girls, become triplets?" They have the same hair, disheveled clothes and are all practically living in their fedoras these days. To Ashlee's credit, she's the first one who sported the long, stringy hair and the fedora. These girls need to stop morphing into one another - it's confusing and utterly unoriginal. Are you with me?

How Would YOU Wear It? Keira Knightley

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 11:20:22 -0700

The fashion police in me was very excited when I saw Keira in this disastrous outfit. I know it's raining, but that doesn't make it okay to dress like a bum - quite the contrary. My main man, Marc Jacobs, advocates layering, but this type of layering - unflattering and sloppy - is out of the question.

I'd first switch up those cowboy boots for a more sleek brown vintage pair. I'd keep the navy tights and v-neck sweater but would have worn a fresh white tank underneath it to break up the all-blue look. Next, I would have worn a menswear-inspired pair of brown plaid shorts and ditched the fedora (yawn). I do like the Egyptian-inspired necklace and tote though!
