A Fabby Halloween: Sassy Sorceress

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Unlike evil witches, sassy sorceresses emote a mesmerizing, tranquil beauty. Arwen Evenstar, in Lord of the Rings, captures this untouchable ethereal quality to perfection. Her ornate headpieces, dewy makeup, and flowy dresses are so beautiful, it can turn the most brash man into a smitten softy. When dressing like a sassy sorceress, keep your layers light and whimsical via chiffon dresses or skirts. Have fun choosing unique headpieces and make sure you don a long, wavy wig. Warning: You will be pursued by many handsome princes and warriors whilst wearing this costume . . .

Halloween Look of the Day: Akasha

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:30:22 -0700

Earlier this week I asked you to help Halloween-ify the Look Book, and the response was outstanding - you have to check out everyone's costumes! Those featured will receive a cheeky pair of FabSugar undies. Here's another winner, to help get creative juices flowing.

mogsterlove is dressing up as Akasha from Queen of the Damned this year and she looks totally fierce. She always wanted to dress up as Akasha, but could never find a suitable costume, so she made one, except for the necklace - impressive!

Congrats to mogsterlove!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar! If you live overseas and have a Fab outfit to share, join the Overseas Fashionistas Group, to submit a Look in this group learn how to post a blog.

A Fabby Halloween: Veruca Salt

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Veruca Salt is a spoiled brat. She's the only child of a wealthy couple, and a real daddy's girl. She "wins" a Golden Ticket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by having her Daddy's factory workers go through thousands of Wonka Bars. In fact, her personal mantra is: "I want it NOW!" - she sings a whole song centering around those four words.

Veruca would like to think she's one of a kind, but her look is actually pretty easy to put together. Well, almost. Don't forget the sour face and the blonde mink coat she's so proud of. And feel free to throw a temper tantrum here and there: this girl is one bad egg; that's what Wonka's egg-sorting machine judged her, after all.

A Fabby Halloween: Mrs. Mia Wallace

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:00:22 -0700

Her name is Mrs. Mia Wallace. She has a penchant for vanilla milkshakes, winning dance competitions, and a certain white powder. Since 1994, when Uma Thurman played the iconic character in Pulp Fiction, hundreds of Halloween costumes have channeled Mrs. Mia. The look is easy: all you need is a straight-banged black wig, a white button-down, black bra, and cropped black pants. Apply a little red lipstick, and Chanel Vamp nail polish is a must - Mia did launch the color into smash-hit popularity, after all.

Don't forget, Mrs. Mia aced the dance competition with John Travolta's character Vince at the 50s-themed restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's, so you'll need some groovy moves. Check out the movie clip I added below for inspiration. And if you end up talking to someone at a Halloween party you don't really want to be stuck with, you can thank the drug-addled Mrs. Mia for your exit quote: "I have to go powder my nose."

Black Peggy Sue Wig Adult, $15	Old NavyClassic Button-Front Shirts, $25
Gap Skinny crop pant, $40	Cole Haan Micaela Toggle Bit Moccasin, $64
Forever 21 Taffeta jacket, $30	Fake Vanilla Shake, $16

Fab Redux: Cleopatra's Final Touch

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:00:22 -0700

With Halloween fast approaching, I have really started getting into costume brainstorming mode. Often I'll turn to vintage clothing to supplement my Halloween costume - that way, no one else can show up to the party wearing the same thing as me.

When I saw this 80s snake belt, $24, I automatically thought: how perfect would it be for a Cleopatra costume? It's adjustable up to 36" and if you didn't want to wear it around your waist, you could wrap it around your upper arm instead. What is a Cleo costume without an asp, anyway?

A Fabby Halloween: Working Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume, both for time and for money, and want to be able to recite a really great line throughout your spooky evening, consider being a Working Girl.

Now is prime time for an ode to this '80s power chick flick: shoulder pads are in. We all have the office basics for this, but insert the largest shoulder pads you can find into your blazer. Tease your curls, wear your pearls, and slather on the red lipstick. Bonus funny points for wearing white sneakers instead of sexy black pumps. "I have a head for business and a body for sin."

Stars Go Sexy, Scary, and Silly For Halloween

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Clearly the place to be on Saturday night was at Heidi and Seal's 10th annual Halloween bash in LA. Just like you and me, the stars went all out with their costumes. Despite being told by star stylists that sexy is out, Rihanna and Selita Ebanks looked va-va-voom. Heidi and Seal outdid themselves by dressing up as crows - freaky! And Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung's duo getup made me crack up. Can you guess who this flashy mermaid - or shall I say merman - is? Click through to find out and to see more stars in their costumes.
