Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Celeb Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:00:08 -0700

Whitney Port attended the NYC premiere of The City season two, which debuts on Sept. 29, wearing a gorgeous silver brocade Whitney Eve mini dress. Always a girlie girl, the reality starlet cinched her waist with a pink and purple ribbon belt, then dressed her earlobes up with modern pearls. A pair of dainty sequined pumps continue the glittery theme. Lovely from head to toe.

Vera Wang Lavender Label silver brocade pleat neck dress - $297.00	Superskinny pearlized patent belt - $24.50
Badgley Mischka Platinum Women's Hart Pump - $190.00	Betsey Johnson Faux Pearl Drop Earrings - $25.00
Bisadora Metallic Foil Clutch - $45.00

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sunny Santa Cruz

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:50:11 -0700

Lucky for me, Santa Cruz is just one(ish) hour away, so a day-trip is super easy. A friend invited me to head down there with her last weekend for a day of shopping and chilling - we had so much fun! As predicted, the temperature was in the mid-70s so I needed you to help me put together a cute, layered outfit. I was thinking something floaty and definitely a hat.

I started you off with this Foley + Corinna Disco City Bag ($198); the juicy color and petite size had me at hola. Let's see my top three picks!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, has a fun, boyish charm. I adore the striped cardi and cloche hat.

Foley + Corinna Disco City Crossbody Bag ($198)	Dish Ring - Elizabeth and James

Shopbop creates some of the most desirable Look Books. The impeccably styled outfits always make me want most, if not all, of the goodies. If you're not already inspired this season, Shopbop's Fall Look Book will definitely excite your shopping buds. Expect to see heavy layering against cool urban and woodsy backgrounds. Proceed with caution - Shopbop's Look Books tend to bring on bouts of splurging.

I Want This Wardrobe: Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 15:51:54 -0700

Poor Serena, so conflicted by ghosts of ill behaviors past. Been there done that! But this Gossip Girl still manages to look fantastic. This is one of her cutest looks yet, I think. Running through the streets of NYC trying to fend of Georgina. Isn't that girl a piece of work? She may be sinking, but Serena's fashion is blooming.

Trend Alert: Military-Inspired Coats

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Recently celebs have been marching the streets in strong, structured military-inspired coats. It's obvious why. These statements in outerwear provide a sort of fashion armor; you can take on the big bag world in a determined jacket with regal flair such as brass buttons and charismatic collars. I adore the way Sienna wears hers below - who cares what she's wearing underneath it, her fashion armor and her hairy tail-wagging troops are ready for battle. Let the fashion face off begin.

Fab Site: Les Nouvelles

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Les Nouvelles is not your average e-commerce destination. Yes, you can shop tons of adorable pieces by Camilla and Marc, Gryphon, Lover, and more, but you can do so much more. The style notes are super helpful, but my favorite part is playing your own stylist. There's a naked mannequin waiting for you to dress her up. I just created a super stylish outfit, now it's your turn!

Online Sale Alert! Thanksgiving Sale at Revolve Clothing

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:00:22 -0800

Just in time for the holiday that finds us all trying to squeeze into our clothes after a very large meal, Revolve Clothing is having a Thanksgiving Sale! The online boutique boasts of knocking 30–75 percent off of over 4,000 items, including pieces from Black Halo, Mike & Chris, Primp, and Tory Burch.

I waded through the madness to find myself a gem: this Gryphon The Lady Coat ($286, originally $572). The shape is very elegant - it's perfect to wear to a holiday party, and the waist makes for a figure-flattering cinched look.

Fab Finds of the Week: Staying Neutral!

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 10:00:33 -0700

This week, your Fab Finds are all about neutral colors: beiges, nudes, ivories, khakis, and browns! I agree; neutrals are great for summer - they keep you cool by not absorbing heat because they're light-colored, and they go with pretty much anything because they're...well...neutral! My favorite way to play with neutrals is to accessorize with a bright-colored bag or shoe.

The Fab Finder of the week is ina717, who found these really cool pebble-shaped lounge pillows! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
