Grammy Awards: Adele

FabSugar — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:26:20 -0800

Have you met British singer Adele? She has mad style. Check her out, bringing some color to the carpet. Thanks to the styling expertise of Anna Wintour, she wore a sleek LBD and covered it up with a slick fresh green coat. Black opaque tights, jeweled pumps, and a Kotur clutch complete her sassy look.

Trend Alert: A Contrasting Clutch

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Not only was Alicia Key's violet Moschino dress lovely, her contrasting clutch elevated her look. I am guilty of grabbing the same old vintage black clutch when I'm running out the door, but I am inspired to consider a switcharoo, or two. Though I love my black clutch, a contrasting clutch shows the world you have fun with fashion, you don't always play it safe. You can choose to stay in the same color family, as Alicia did with purples, or join opposing forces. But notice, if it goes from contrast to clash, tone it down. Above all, have fun.

Celebrity Style: Angie Harmon

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 13:00:22 -0700

Actress Angie Harmon looks like a sexy and modern mermaid in her turquoise dress at the ABC All Star Party. I love how she kept her bodice covered and showed off her slim (and tan) stems. Other than her purse and shoes, she wore no other accessories, so I gave her pretty earrings to complete the look!

Perfect Pair: Velvet Accessories For Fall

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 16:26:21 -0700

Let's face it: We're stuck with velvet forever. Because it's cozy, warm, and especially festive during the holiday season, velvet is just one of those things that will always be in style for fall and winter. Thankfully, I've found the cutest purse and flats combo at Scoop that will add sparkle and snuggle to any dreary winter day.

First, there's this Velvet Clutch Bag, available here for $298. Made by Kotur exclusively for Scoop, this dreamy clutch goes with just about anything, and the velvet barely shows dirt. The inside is satin lined, the outside has gorgeous, black-crystal beading, and there is a magnetic closure.

To see the flats that complete the pair, read more

Pair it with these adorable and reasonably priced Jet Beaded Velvet Ballet Flats, which you can buy here for $148. Embellished with black-crystal stones, they'd look perfect with skinny jeans, dresses, or leggings.

Xhilaration® Hinge Clutch - Orange Crocodile - $12.99	The Jesse B. Collection Blueberry Fizz Clutch - $90.00
