Sarah Michelle Gellar at Harrods Sale Event: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 09:56:04 -0700

Sarah Michelle Gellar showed up at the launch of Harrods' Summer sale in London portraying two swiftly different looks. In her Marni asymmetrical off-white coat she looks sharp and timeless. Underneath it, her satin taupe jumpsuit oozes youthfulness and trendiness. I am always a fan of the adorable SMG, but do you love it or hate it?

Fabcon: Camilla Al-Fayed

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:00:22 -0800

Imagine being the daughter of the owner of Harrods department store. Camilla Al-Fayed doesn't have to imagine it; she is it. And yes, she's the half-sister of the late Dodi Al-Fayed, Princess Diana's boyfriend.

The Egyptian beauty is close friends with another gorgeous socialite, Dasha Zhukova, and can be seen with her at all major fashion soirees. From the look of her luxe outfits, one of her favorite colors is black. Can you blame her? The 24-year-old also occasionally likes to throw in pops of bright colors like cobalt and hot pink. Having money often means always wearing designer, but that's not why Camilla stands out. She's always polished, head to toe, and knows how to wear pieces that flatter her womanly figure. Plus, among a sea of blond socialites, it's refreshing to see a brunette beauty.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Eva Mendes

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Isn't Eva a knock out? No wonder her Calvin Klein lingerie ads were deemed too steamy for US boob tubes. She kept things modern and cool while promoting the new bra line at Harrods in London this week. Her structured dress has the right hint of color - pistachio green - and reminds me how colorblocking can be very flattering. Her Kara Ross stacked bangles and cocktail ring add some glamour to the structured sheath. And, she looks like she just threw them on, which is key. Strong shoes support the graphic look; her black suede Calvin Klein platforms are totally ladylike. Add flawless makeup, the best blow out ever and a knowing smile and this lingerie model is ready to rumble.

Designer Spotlight: Jasmine Di Milo

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 15:45:29 -0700

Keep an eye out for UK's latest and greatest designer, the 25-year-old Jasmine Di Milo. Her designs-edgy and youthful with a sophisticated rocker flair-have just been picked up by 29 global outlets, including a number of U.S. boutiques. The child of Finnish and Egyptian parents, Jasmine studied at the London College of Fashion and trained in fashion workrooms at Harrods alongside some of Britain's top talent.

Di Milo started designing back in 2003, and for several years, she's been showing off her wares in a boutique located on the first floor of Harrods, which you should definitely check out if you're ever in London. I can't wait to see the results from her first big fashion show next spring in Paris. If you decide to order her clothes online, keep in mind that the sizes are U.K., so go up two sizes to get the right fit. (If you are a U.S. size 6, order a U.K. size 10.) Check out two of my favorite pieces that are now available online.

I absolutely love this gorgeous and funky red Stretch Silk Bustier Dress. It's got a padded bra top and a boned bodice, and the bottom has a drop of stretch in the fabric to prevent static cling around your backside. Buy it here for $588.

This sexy Satin/Lace Flounce Dress has exquisite detail. The neck drops low, and the hip carries a black satin tie that is meant to fall long. The skirt area is fluid and flirty and has a touch of delicate lace overlay. The best part, however, is the open back with its sheer, sexy black lace. Buy it here for $735.

On Our Radar: Spring Sunglasses Galore

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

It seems anyone who's a designer is putting out sunglasses these days. Joining the list that already includes Banana Republic, Phillip Lim and Tiffany are Pucci, Balenciaga, Chris Benz, Karl Lagerfeld, Chaiken, and Jimmy Choo. Considering everyone wants to go incognito these days, it's no surprise that these designers also want a piece of the shady pie.

Pucci: This is the first time since the '70s that the label is bringing eyewear to its repertoire. The line features 19 styles in the famous Pucci colors like coral, blue, gold, purple, and black and white. It will be available this month at most major luxury retailers, will wholesale from $142 to $500.

Glitterati: Lara Bohinc

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:00:02 -0800

You might say Lara Bohinc has earned herself some serious bragging rights. She's collaborated on jewelry for both Gucci and Lanvin, and she currently works as a design consultant for Cartier.

It all started ten years ago, when the Slovenian-born designer started her eponymous line straight out of school. Since then, her chunky jewelry, knot motifs, and architectural metalworking has gathered a client base that reads like a VIP list: Madonna, Kate Moss, SJP, Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, and Gwen Stefani. Her most recent development is a collection of fine jewelry, which starting last month is being sold exclusively at Harrods in London.

Lara Bohinc is available at Net-a-Porter and runs $370-$965.

The Look for Less: Eva's Dolce & Gabbana Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:01:33 -0700

At the opening of Harrods' Winter Sale, Eva chose a Dolce & Gabbana Denim Mini Dress. The patent leather trim is very interesting and adds some substance to an otherwise-drab denim frock. It's unlike any other denim dress I've seen out there. Leave it to D&G to come out with a nontraditional denim dress! The price is probably out of this world for us non-celebs, so we found a similar look for less for all you gals that love Eva's look.

Though it doesn't have the patent leather trim, this Parameter Indigo Faux Denim Wool-Blend Dress, on sale for $120, is rather similar in terms of the silhouette. Actually, I kind of like this version better because it's more translatable to the streets. Though it's no D&G, it still gets the look across!

Designer Spotlight: Bodyamr

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:30:22 -0700

Tom Ford, Net-a-porter and British Vogue have all raved about Bodyamr, a posh label created in 2004. If you haven't already checked them out, it's to your benefit to check this out pronto!

The Spring/Summer '07 collection is beyond luxurious and all about the details (think funnel necks, draping, ruching, braiding). This line is definitely not for shy girls as each piece is made to stand out in a crowd. If you want to invest, stores like Harrods in London, Net-a-porter and Harvey Nichols carry their chic goods. Even if the price tags are beyond your budget (a draped top can go for over $500), it's still worth a peek just for inspiration!
