amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:29:32 -0700

I oft talk about my love of the '20s flapper era and Diane is the epitome of that time at the amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. From her sleek hair down to her shoes, she's perfection in my eyes. The whisper sequins and train are such lovely details. Do you love or hate?

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:22:22 -0800

I have a Great Gatsby-esque cloche hat that I've been wearing all Winter. If you don't have one in your closet yet, try one out, like this Bloomingdales Wool Cloche Hat. It's similar to the one Diane Kruger wore recently at a New Year's party. Plus, the light color will allow you to wear it through Spring.

The current bidding price is at $14.99, and the auction ends on Thursday, Jan. 17. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: The Roaring '20s

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Queen of the red carpet, Diane Kruger, continues to inspire. Of all the New Year's parties that went down, this looks like the most Fab one. Soho Grand's "Great Gatsby" was the place to be - beads, bubbly and babes for everyone! Who doesn't like to play dress up with the decades once in a while. You know I'm game. And so is Diane.

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Roberto Cavalli

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 14:00:22 -0700

A few feather-clad pieces in this Spring collection were very Roberto Cavalli, but surprisingly, the majority were not. I'm glad to see Cavalli expanding his repertoire to include sweet gals, not just wild things. For the latter, the feather trench coats, vests and pants will satiate their sassy appetite. As for the more demure, they will love all the floral details that Cavalli plastered on his floor-length gowns, pant suits and boho button-down dresses. The color palette of this collection was muted: lilacs, whites, purples, greens, peaches. The only bright hues were from the large floral patterns on the evening gowns.

Old Hollywood glamazons had a place in this collection, too. A few flapper-esque and metallic dresses were seen and very were reminiscent of The Great Gatsby.

If this collection doesn't appeal to your wild side, be sure to check out Roberto Cavalli for H&M in stores in November!

Trend Alert: The Great Gatsby

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:03:33 -0700

Here is my ode to The Great Gatsby. Fashion is experiencing a throwback to the times of art deco, pleats, beading, speak-easies, and the Belle Epoque. Legendary designer Paul Poiret has been referenced and you can see his dropped hemline and flapper hats in a major way in the Proenza Schouler Fall 2007 collection. After all the 70s and 80s we've been seeing on the runway these seem fresh and a step in a new fashion direction - just don't take away my booze!

Looks like this is a trend that's going to be around for a couple seasons so if you fancy it, check out these glamorous Spring Gatsby finds, read more

Trend Alert: Flapper Fringe

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Just when you think fringe has peaked its potential, designers come out with a thinner winner. Flapper fringe gives off a jazzy vibe, unlike its thicker, more bohemian sister. I actually own a black La Rok top similar to this 3.1 Phillip Lim Fringed Boat Neck Tunic ($695). Gotta love the way it swings with every motion. Swish, swish . . .

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?

Battle of The Hills Costumes: Flirty Flapper vs. Little Red Riding Hood

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

The Halloween fun does not stop for me when the Fab holiday is over. Au contraire. Last year we had Lauren and then-BF Audrina battle out their costumes. This year it's all about the ladies in red. This is a fine example of two friends coordinating costumes, but doing completely different ideas. Lauren perfectly embodies a flapper, but her color choices aren't typical. Nice. She lightened things up with a white fringed dress, gold metallic sandals, and a dramatic feather hairpiece. Lo looks super cute too, in a classic red cape and dress, though her shoes could have been more festive. However, her props take Little Red Riding Hood to the next level. Which costumed Hills blonde gets your vote?

Halloween Look of the Day: The Flapper

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

The Halloween-ification of the Look Book is going fantastically - be sure to check out everyone's costumes! Those featured as a Halloween Look of the Day will receive a cheeky pair of FabSugar undies.

syako is dressing up as flapper this year and she did a stellar impersonation of Louise Brooks! She pulled together a dropped-waist dress from Intuition, a cloche hat from Kohl's, cigarette holder and cupid's bow lips to ace the mood of the Jazz Age.

Congrats to syako!
