Trend Alert: Glam Rockin' Sequins

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:50:11 -0700

Sequins used to come with a cheesy, Vegas connotation, but not anymore. This time, the popular embellishment has been revived to exude a darker, dank feel. Malin Akerman knows what I mean. Her glam rockin' sequins, via an Elise Overland frock, are the epitome of cool. Here's a tip: make sure to accessorize with funky footwear and jewels to downplay the shimmer. Other than that, rock on sister, rock on.

Trend Alert: The Macho Watch

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Remember when Nina Garcia lent us some wise words? Remember one of her fashion essentials was a man's watch? I thought this was the most niche of her picks, as someone who doesn't even wear a watch, but I understand its appeal. The macho watch is strong, cool and sexy, in that power dressing kind of way. Not convinced? Ask Ashley Olsen what time it is.

Have you ever been to a welcome back luggage party? Me either. But there's a first time for everything. The airlines lost a friend's luggage, which had her most prized fashion possessions. But luckily they found it after three weeks. Phew! Now she's throwing a party to welcome back her stuff. Fun right? I need an outfit that will stun everyone.

I'll start you off with this Matthew Campbell Laurenza Super Star Ring ($340) because it's glam-rock at its best.

The Look For Less: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Cree Fringe Flat Thong Sandal

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 01:00:22 -0700

If fringe had a season it would have to be Summer. I can't think of a better time for me to rock this trend with shorts, skirts, jeans, you name it. Take for instance this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Flat Fringe Sandal ($204). The short, sleek fringe is the ideal mix of hippie-chic and city glam but I'm not willing to pay that much for such a statement piece.

This Wanted Fringe Sandal ($39) is more up my alley. It's much cheaper and the style is dead-on. What more can you ask for?

Fab Flash: Versus' Comeback

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:12:22 -0800

I remember Versus from the '90s being Versace's youthful, rebellious younger line. The ads were cool; remember the twin series? While other companies are downsizing, Versace is reviving. Versus is making a comeback. At Milan Fashion Week this week, the Versace group is releasing a relaunch package. First up: An accessories line designed by Scottish boy genius Christopher Kane.

Handbags, shoes and steel jewelry, have a hard-edged, glam vibe. Black, white, and silver make up a renegade collection not for the faint of heart. Donatella spoke of her choice of Kane confidentially, "Christopher is a highly creative young designer and his work impressed me from the very beginning. His rock n roll style is very powerful, glamorous and sensual - perfectly in tune with the mood of Versus - which was always intended for young people who want clothes that project a personal style that is constantly evolving."

Golden Globe Awards: Fab's Top Three

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:00:22 -0800

We're still recovering from last night's Golden Globe whirlwind, but we have decided on our top three of the evening. These are the ladies we keep going back to. It's a pretty close race in terms of your best dressed of the night. Our number one - Eva Mendes in Christian Dior - is among the close contenders. But for us, it's unanimous.

Eva rocked this strapless white sculptured Dior gown. It's a fresh silhouette, and color, for the red carpet and for that I am thankful. On stage it was dramatic and moved with grace. She's a fan of sexy up dos and her side swept bangs let her gorgeous face work its magic. She could have stopped at the dress, but she didn't. Yes! Her neck was zealous with a Van Cleef & Arpels turquoise choker and her wrist got in on the turquoise fun, too. Her ears sparkled with diamond clusters. Eva will always be remembered for this perfect Golden Globe attempt.

To see who my second and third picks are, read more.

Drew! How stunning did Drew look? I wasn't surprised - she tends to look great on the red carpet. Drew's been going through a style transformation lately, but she kept it glam for the Globes. She was voted the favorite Dior of the night, and we second that emotion. I thought her tousled goldilocks were fun. The dress was so breezy, and the hair reminded us that Drew is a bit of a wild child at heart. Her red satin Vivier clutch was sexy and her cloudy jewels were decadent.

Olivia is proving to be a red carpet contender. She is beautiful and she always accentuates her assets: her aqua eyes, swan-like neck, and teeny waist. She brought a whiff of color to the carpet in her frothy lavender Reem Acra gown. Don't you just want to touch it? I'm sure it was light as air, luxurious as hell. The jeweled self-belt provided extra sparkle, as did her cluster earrings. Between the cross-over bodice, confectionary color, and baby ruffles, Olivia proved herself a princess.

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: The Funky Bootie

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

I've been collecting booties a couple seasons now, so I already have the quintessential black, and I even have the off-kilter gray. Bootie power is still going strong - it's time to mix things up. Many celebrities and fashion folks are looking to rock 'n' roll black leather and gold studs for their tough fix, but I'm digging a little deeper. Glam rock anyone? These Stuart Weitzman Platform Booties ($355) aren't your next door fashionista's bootie. The purple hue is right out of Velvet Goldmine, the brown wooden platform is boogie night ready, and the open toe plays peekaboo.

FABTV: Stone Temple Pilots, "Interstate Love Song"

FabSugar — Sat, 17 May 2008 14:22:22 -0700

Scott Weiland. Hot. I am a sucker for a man who sometimes flashes a bit of glam rock, be it nail polish, eyeliner, fire engine red hair, or a magenta chubby fur. OK, maybe only a few guys can get away with wearing a magenta chubby fur, and Weiland is one of them. This song is so groovy and ideal for a road trip soundtrack. In this vid Weiland also dons a cowboy hat, sexy, and he was wearing his trademark bleach blond spikey hair. I wonder what Fab accessories Weiland will be wearing when I see him perform with his original bandmates this Summer?!
