Celebrity Style: Katherine Heigl

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Newlywed Katherine Heigl went furniture shopping in LA yesterday looking casual yet stylish. I admire that instead of throwing on sweats like so many stars, she chose a teal Marc by Marc Jacobs ruffle blouse, a Jimmy Choo bag, and Tory Burch leopard flats. Her sunnies are a little ill fitting, but I'll get over it because I'm digging the jewel tones in her outfit.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Corded Cotton Dobby - $248.00	J Brand 22" Lovestory in Dark Vintage - $178.00
Tory Burch - Reva Leopard Haircalf Print Ballet Flat - $225.00	Jimmy Choo Patent Leather Riki Ring Bag - $1,600.00
UO Grandpa Cardigan - $54.00	Calvin Klein honey brown woven leather basic belt - $23.00
MARC by Marc Jacobs Logo Shield Sunglasses - $90.00	Jennifer Zeuner Love Stud Earrings - $132.00

The Bag to Have: Banana Republic Silk Clutch

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:30:22 -0800

Jewel tones are one of the greatest things to happen in fashion in a long time. The rich burst of color they provide is nothing short of amazing. Take these Banana Republic Silk Clutches ($50 each). They're regal, chic, dazzling, and the list goes on. For that price, I'll take the kayak yellow, brinjal purple, and artisan blue. Maybe you can even gift one to a close friend as well as yourself.

The Delicious Party Frocks of Lanvin

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

I refuse to accept the fact that the European Spring ready-to-wear shows are over. So, I will continue to believe by sharing some more of my highlights; I'm sure you won't mind. Lanvin concluded Paris and what a grande finale it was. While the rest of the collection was magically inventive, and wonderfully wearable, these jewel-toned party frocks stole my heart. Words can't describe the sensations these fabric creations arouse in me. Ok, now I know you're thinking I've gone fashion cuckoo. Well think what you want, but these Alber Elbaz dresses were the ne plus ultra of Paris. As the designer puts it: "Everything is about ease for the woman...zip it on, zip it off, that's it." You heard the man - that's it!

Primetime Emmy Awards: Jewel Tones

FabSugar — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:55:51 -0700

Canary diamond, ruby, sapphire, and amethyst all showed up on the red carpet tonight, but not just in jewelry form! These ladies accessorized their ice with bold, jewel-toned gowns: Felicity Huffman and Julie Louis-Dreyfus went with a lovely shade of purple, while Portia, Ellen, and America chose hues of blues. Ali Larter looked fantastic in ruby red and Minnie Driver pulled off canary diamond perfectly. Bold, beautiful jewel tones all around!

Designer Spotlight: Katy Rodriguez

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 03:30:33 -0700

Drama, luxury and jewel tones are words to describe Katy Rodriguez's Fall collection. But there's a lot more to this designer than that...

Born and raised in San Francisco, Katy Rodriguez initially made her mark in 1996 as co-founder of designer vintage store, Resurrection. With business partner Mark Haddawy, she also collaborated on a collection of their own called 'caitie et marc.'

Known for her abilities to cultivate the best vintage from around the world, Rodriguez has also been recognized by Vogue on its annual Best Dressed List. In 2005, Rodriguez struck out on her own, debuting her eponymous collection. Chosen as one of Gen Art’s “Fresh Faces,” Rodriguez showed her Spring 2007 collection at the Gen Art Show in October of 2006. She went on to show her Fall 2007 collection at the Gramercy Park Hotel at an intimate gathering of celebrity clients and editors.

Back to the drama, luxury and jewel tones. Her entire Fall collection can be found here and prices begin at $750.

Trend Alert: Cozy Sweater Coats

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Living in SF, I'm about all about layering. That's where cozy sweater coats come in handy. The recent influx of Aztec, Nordic, and Navajo prints have me in a fashion tizzy - I think I need one of each. Solid neutral and jewel toned hues are also available for those who prefer more polish. Here's a Fab tip: wrap it up with a belt for a chic, cinched look. Wouldn't this Silence & Noise Intarsia Cardigan ($68) be a great gift for a dear BFF? Time to bundle up!

Designer Spotlight: CRHEE

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

Complexity versus ease: That's what CRHEE's Spring/Summer '10 collection explores. Luxurious silk fabrics are used in bold jewel tones and rhythmic prints - the result is dark romance, light sensuality. This season, designer Christine Rhee was inspired by everything from the photography of Guy Bordin, David Fincher videos, to muses Diana Ross and Diane von Furstenberg. She refers to this line as strangely familiar, the concept of classics with a modern undertone. Rompers, flowy tanks, and draped harem pants, ranging from $200 to $450, all fit the description.

Look Book Love: Madison Marcus, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Madison Marcus's Fall '09 collection has me crushin' like the ninth grade – you know what I mean. For the cold months ahead, the brand is keeping us warm with a supply of tweed skirts, shimmering cardigans, tailored pants, silk tops, and vintage-inspired frocks. I'm smitten with the '20s influence via intricate beading details and floaty shapes, but notice how the line evokes youthfulness through a fun, jewel-toned palette. Sometimes, you don't need to be bold to be noticed and Madison Marcus proves this perfectly. I can already see myself wearing this unique camel cowl-neck top with black skinnies and booties during a chilly Autumn day.
