Glitterati: Paige Novick

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Paige Novick is my new jewelry hero. In fact, her colorful baubles excite me in ways I didn't know jewels could. The NYC dweller, whose past stints including working in Paris at Chanel with Karl Lagerfeld, creates imaginative, organic-inspired adornments. I'm utterly smitten with her masculine-meets-feminine aesthetic and bright pops of purple, green, orange, and blue. If color's not your thing, Paige also has a couple of ferosh silver pieces that will surely tickle your fancy. Her collection is a little pricey - cuffs, rings, and necklaces range from $100 to $800 - but well worth the splurge. Eye candy, at the least.

Halloween Look of the Day: Batgirl Babe

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Avidchick is channeling her inner Batgirl babe. And girl looks damn fine. Her hero costume is beyond fresh thanks to a fun imagination and Target's toy department. I'm digging all of her accessories - a gold belt, cape, and mask are essential elements to getting her look right. Amazing!

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to avidchick!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Celebrity Style: Kristin Cavallari

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:05:43 -0700

I just realized something: we don't feature enough red on Fab. It's actually one of my favorite colors - bold, fiery, festive. The Hills star Kristin Cavallari knows this, too. The cheery blonde stood out at the annual A Time For Heroes Celebrity Carnival in LA. See, she also knows peasant tops are back. While she continues to battle out her style with former Hills heroine LC, KC dressed down the Sunahara top with navy shorts and upped it with tan Twelfth Street wedges and gold bangles. Viva red!

SunaharA "El Amor" Top - Rose - $115.00	Fab Linen Short - $12.50
Twelfth Street Harper Gladiator - $405.00	Bon Voyage Bangle - $39.00
Enamel Grommet Ring - $68.00	Round Pave Stud Earrings - $24.00

This Week's Fab Favorite: Jessica Biel

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:34:22 -0800

When I saw Jessica Biel at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute event in LA, I thought: What an awesome color combination this Emanuel Ungaro frock has. And, how well does it complement Biel's lovely honey coloring? This frock is far from a LBD. She looks confident and comfortable in it - it's an interesting, inspiring choice.The asymmetrical citron strapless bodice has a lovely crinkle detail and perfectly cinches Biel in. The muddy bottom has a slight drape and hugs Biel's covetable figure. The patent pumps exactly match the muddy color - tough to do. But the look really sparkles because of the pearly beaded Fendi clutch and pearl pinky ring. These provided an unexpected twist to the unique Ungaro. Jewelry is barely-there, and her wavey shoulder-length hair is adorable. A warm, intricate look that feels so right for Thanksgiving week.

FabSugar Exclusive: Rachel Zoe, The Morning After

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:01:50 -0700

Thrilling. That best describes The Rachel Zoe Project premiere last night. The glamour, the gowns, the jewels, the tension - I knew I would be hooked the second time around, what about you? Last night we witnessed the countdown to the Golden Globes, saw Team Zoe's new studio, met some new staff, and bit our nails over the lost pink Chanel haute couture dress. Or was that just me and Rachel? I caught up with the stylist extraordinaire this morning for some coffee talk. We mostly gushed about the gorgeous gowns on last night's show, but we also chatted Brad and Taylor. Here's last night's rehash . . .

Eva's white Dior was my favorite from this year's awards season. It wasn't on the runway, how did you find it?

"The PR people sent me photos even though it wasn't sent down the runway. I'll know that Eva has something coming up, I call it a check note. That necklace is probably my favorite piece of jewelry - ever. When I worked with Keira Knightley for the Oscars in '06, there was this vintage Bulgari piece and this brought that memory back to me. There's nothing like an incredible blob of turquoise. It's a dream scenario."

Speaking of jewelry, how did emeralds call out to you for Debra's navy Vera Wang?

"I love to see color. I don't want to do anything expected, or odd. The idea of emeralds with the navy is a younger, modern way to make something glamorous. You don't need diamonds for glamour. I love mixing colors, the less perfect the better."

To read about asking Karl to alter the Chanel and for some Brad and Taylor scoop,

Cameron's pink Chanel - have you asked designer's to alter before? Just not Karl? Why were you so nervous?

"Yes, I have, but Karl Lagerfeld is up there with my three heroes of all time. When you ask to make a change to an already-brilliant design, it's scary. What if it doesn't work? At the end of the day Cameron is my priority. I want to do what's politically correct, but also what's best for my client. You weigh your odds there. It was scary. Had he said no, I would have had to move on. The worst he could say is no."

New studio? Upgrade! And more staff?

"We actually have two studios now. One for the digital side of my business (The Zoe Report). We're growing Rachel Zoe Inc. And Jordan (the intern) and Marisa (Zoe's assistant). Poor Marisa is so innocent, she's the golden child of the group. She helps balance it out. Brad provides a lot of comic relief, when I'm having a really tense moment, Brad makes me laugh at it all."

It appears Brad and Taylor are getting along better. When they moved the desks downstairs, they banded together as brats. It was funny to see that banter.

"They are, but trust me they still have their moments. And they banter, for better or for worse."

When they talk about you, how does it make you feel?

"Brad isn't really built that way. It's more important to me that they get along with one another than they get pleasure out of making fun of me or patronizing me. If they weren't doing their jobs the way they do, they wouldn't be there. I wouldn't put up with it. We all know where we stand with one another. I compare it to a real family. You take abuse and you make up as if nothing ever happened. Or we don't even make up and just move on. They are so loyal."

It seems this season is going to get heavy with Taylor questioning her loyalty.

"Oh yeah. She'll be doing all season what she did last night. She's bored to tears, but she's not going to complain. But you do see a lighter side of Taylor. She's not programmed that way. I prefer she is who she is on camera, and not pretending to be something she's not. She has a heart of gold, I promise you that." Photo courtesy of Bravo

This Week's Fab Favorite: Michelle Williams

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:30:08 -0700

I absolutely adore Michelle Williams's quirky street style - her pea coats are Fab - but Michelle in a dress is an equally lovely sight. On her way to the 2009 Fresh Air Fund Salute to American Heroes event at Tavern on the Green in NYC, the actress wore a gorgeous ivory, one-shoulder Phillip Lim dress with gold stud detailing. Not too short, not too long, not too fitted, not too loose; just right. Strappy gold Jimmy Choo platform sandals and an Yves Saint Laurent box clutch served as her shiny companions.
Unlike many stars who lose their true style when they hit the red carpet, Michelle sticks to her unfussy guns. Whether in jeans or in a frock, you get the sense that she's dressing to please only her simple self. And in turn, she manages to impress us. Here she is wearing a fancy dress and high heels, but doesn't she look as comfortable as when she's playing with Matilda in flats? That's what I call fashion confidence.

Celebrity Style: Ali Larter

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

You know when you have a crush on someone and it fades, and then months later BAM! - you see them walking across the street looking immaculate? This happened to me with Heroes hottie Ali Larter. Girl's got it and she flaunts it. It's amazing how simple yet dramatic this look is. Ali pulled together some smart and sexy separates, kept her palette dark, and showed some skin. Bold yet cool accessories were key: Ray Ban Wayfarers, an oversize black patent satchel, and slit suede booties. Whipped.
