Fab Finds of The Week: Hell on Heels

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 06:11:22 -0700

These killer pumps aren't for the faint of heart. Obviously Spring is bringing out hidden desires because these hell on heels were Fab Found by all ya'll. I personally don't have the energy to rock these, but they sure are fun to fantasize about. Maybe if I had a red carpet to work...but I don't so I'll stick to my functional flats. But more power to you all!

The Fab Finder of the week is a tie between OC_Fashionista and Jennifer Hill! They both found some awesome hell on heels! FYI: every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!

The Look For Less: Isabel Marant Stud Buckle Boot

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Gush, double gush. I can't get enough of Isabel Marant's Fall '09 show. Each and every single look, down to the graduated cone footwear, is amazing. Speaking of footwear, how cool are the stud buckle boots Lily Donaldson is wearing? They're slightly trendy, yes, but subtle enough to wear for a while. Unfortunately, like every other Marant piece, they're out of my price range. Luckily, Jeffrey Campbell has come out with an identical pair without the killer price tag.

This Jeffrey Campbell Black Suede Boot ($165) is as close as any boot is going to get to the Isabel Marant version. It has the right studs, the buckle, the fold over detail, and a similar heel shape. Now all you need are Marant-inspired clothes and you're perfect.

Celebrity Style: Christina Ricci

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:58:35 -0700

Christina has this ability to always swoon us. She's confident, classic, and cool. Here she is at the LA premiere of Bruno looking just that. Her silk gray draped dress is appropriate for just about any event - take note - and she adds a little glam with a gold snake chain belt. Black patent wooden heeled platforms are perfectly Summery while a black clutch keeps things minimal. What a killer smile . . .

I Love Your Shopstyle: Minimalism

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Sometimes, a simple outfit can speak volumes. shealennon knows what I'm talking about. Her take on minimalism consists of a svelte LBD, killer heels, a clutch, and elegant accessories. All beautiful but the magic happens when you wrap that firey red scarf around your neck.

Who Wore It Better? Victoria Beckham Collection LBD and YSL Pumps

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Put two foxes in the same foxy LBD and YSL patent platforms and what do you get? Steamy competition. Hardbody homies Heidi Klum and Victoria Beckham both wore this skintight deep V Victoria Beckham dress and YSL's killer platform patent heels. Klum, unveiling the new Victoria's Secret Perfect One bra in Los Angeles let her arms breathe with nil accessories, while VB loaded on a fur shrug, motorcycle gloves, a Hermes bag, and black shades. What it boils down to is: minimal or maximum?

Fab Exclusive! Rachel Bilson Can't Wait to Wear All of Reyes Fall

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:00:00 -0800

Hot off her engagement news, Bilson joined New York Fashion Week. Today she attended one of her favorites, Brian Reyes, in a warm-hued printed Reyes dress. I interviewed Brian, too, so stay tuned for that and to hear the scoop on why the models ditched the killer heels for the finale walk. I nabbed Bilson for a few moments after the show, and she was sweet as pie. I wonder if Reyes will design her wedding gown! Fab and Bilson talk . . .

What did you think of the show?

"It was phenomenal. I’m so excited, I can’t wait to wear all of it."

What in particular stood out to you?

"The dress with the marble-type print. All the prints were amazing, but the one that was cream and brown, the detail, do you know which one I’m talking about?"

Yes, I was backstage so I got to see them up close and personal.

"Well there you go, you know them well."

What’s your favorite and and least favorite thing about Fashion Week?

"You go blind with all the flashes, but it’s the price you have to pay to see beautiful clothes. I just love seeing everything firsthand, there’s nothing better."

Fab Ad: Christian Dior Spring '09

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:00:08 -0800

For Christian Dior's Spring '09 campaign, John Galliano chose Super Gisele Bündchen to show off his sexy collection. The ad, shot by Craig McDean, depicts Gisele wearing a modern macrame LBD and killer heels. I like how she works it for the camera in a complicated yet cunning pose. The tribal accessories and beige backdrop make Gisele stand out like an amazing, Amazonian queen. However, I have qualms about those short bangs - yikes. What do you think of this ad?

Trend Alert: Rockin' Riding Pants

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:00:22 -0800

Think of all the different ways you can wear rockin' riding pants. You may push me back at first, but you can't deny its sleek equestrian roots. Take the preppy route and wear this sharp cut with a blouse, boots, and a blazer - think Serena Van Der Woodsen; or go modern and pair it with some killer heels and a casual tee. Speaking of Gossip Girl, Jessica Szohr was spotted donning a pair while out with hottie Ed Westwick.

The Look For Less: Velvet Jessamine Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:00:22 -0800

There are LBDs and then there are unforgettable LBDs. Imagine someone wearing this Velvet Jessamine Dress ($130). Would you forget her? I think not. I love that it's minimalistic, body-hugging, and how the cut exposes the shoulders. Paired with some killer heels, it would rock the world. But I'd rather not pay more for it if I can pay less.

This American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-Neck Dress ($38) is equally sexy and not so equally expensive. Like the one above, it's fitted, long-sleeve, and simple. And, depending on the occasion, you have the option of either exposing your shoulders or covering them. If you're not afraid to reveal your curves, add this LBD to your wardrobe.
