Trend Alert: Subtly Sparkly

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 11:00:22 PST

Designers, and their followers (ahem) can't get enough of embellishments, i.e. mirrors, beading, embroidery and sequins. Beautiful in both the Winter and Summer, something subtly sparkly is the proper choice for a date night, a cocktail part-tay or if you just want to feel pretty. Ali Larter knows how to dazzle in her beige subtle sparkler. Because the aforementioned embellishments tend to be around the neckline and front of dresses, I suggest a lovely updo, as not to distract from the subtle sparkles. Again, Ali, nice work.

Who Wore It Better? Karta Jeweled-Waist Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:00:22 PST

I loved the way Kelly Osbourne looked in Karta's jeweled-waist dress so much, I featured her in Celebrity Style. Now, actress and entertainment journalist extraordinaire Maria Menounos showed up to the Very Sexy Super Bowl bash in the same dress. Kelly chose to cover up, while Maria let her cleavage and legs take center stage. I'm with Kelly on this one. Whose version do you love better?

Celebrity Style: Kelly Osbourne

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:00:22 PST

Has Kelly Osbourne stepped up to the fashion plate or what? From her new cropped 'do to her slimmed-down bod, Ozzy's little girl is all grown up and looking Fab. At the Fiat 500 party, she stood out in a gorgeous Karta jeweled-waist dress that's part sexy, part sophisticated. I commend the gold shoes on black-opaque tights effect. Out with the goth, in with the chic!

Who Wore It Better? Karta Geometric Jeweled Dress

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:44:44 PDT

Mischa Barton wore Karta's Geometric Jeweled Dress back in September at Milan Fashion Week. Maternity wear designer Liz Lange just showed up to a Glamour party in the same frock. Both ladies look svelte but I prefer it on Mischa because the funky pattern matches her bohemian style. Who do you think wore it better?

Trend Alert: Evening Eclipse

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 05:00:22 PDT

I will love rhinestones until the day I die. What's not to love? They're shiny, they're pretty and, compared to the real thing (diamonds), they're inexpensive. A few rhinestones makes anything appear that much more luxe - especially if that anything is black. Create an evening eclipse with a rhinestone adorned noir item and call it a night.

Celebrity Style: Mischa Barton

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:00:22 PDT

It's Milan Fashion Week and Mischa Barton (pictured with Margherita Missoni) attended The New York Times Style Magazine's party in a geometric Karta dress. This look is girly yet cool, and a bit bohemian, just the way Mischa likes it. Her Chloe Heloise bag matches the dress perfectly, as do the round toe pumps and her red hair.
