Trend Alert: Secret Sequins

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

There's this theory that sequins can be too flashy and thus trashy. If a glimmering Alexander McQueen head-to-toe bodysuit is freaky to you, secret sequins may strike your fancy. Kate Walsh donned Stella McCartney's nude tank with gray ombre jeans and she looks friggin' fantastic. And we weren't even there. I'd imagine the sparkles radiated in the Monte Carlo sun. Ever so subtly, though, that's the secret.

Trend Alert: Poppin' Patchwork

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Clothed or bathed, Bar Refaeli is on my radar. Here she is posing in front of her dedicated Sports Illustrated jet wearing a poppin' patchwork leather jacket. I did some investigating and there's lots of cool patchwork prints right now. I prefer them with an exotic feel or a sci-fi edge, either would make the jet set happy.

Trend Alert: The Suede Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Spotted: Victoria and little Cruz showing off their holiday spirit in LA. While the wee one rocked a festive Santa hat - Lil can break his outfit down to you - Victoria kept it posh in a hunter green suede dress. Though hard to come by, these sumptuous frocks are well worth the search. Word to the wise: Vintage shops are a cheap alternative to paying exuberant retail prices. I found my vintage suede Yves Saint Laurent dress at a local consignment store for only $30 dollars - score!

La Rok Harmony Fringe Dress - $318.00	Larissa Suede Dress - $495.00
Sea Jersey Leather Dress in Black/Grey - $557.00	PRADA Short dress - $2,878.00

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Serena van der Woodsen may look melancholy in this picture, but don't let her pensive pose fool you. In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, the new reigning queen of the Upper East Side showed her true colors and relished in her beauty with a new friend - leaving Blair in the dust.

You can loathe her but you can't deny her rockin' style. Before taking the stage, Serena arrived to the fashion show in a chain dangling La Rok Navajo mini halter dress. Funky and Fab.

Trend Alert: Patch Me Up

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:00:22 -0700

This ain't your grandma's patchwork. Modern patchwork on tops, dresses, bags and shoes, is spreading hippie love wherever it goes. Who knew Hilary Duff was such a flower child? She is singing the trend softly in her varicolored scarf. Start me up, patch me up!

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Gossip Girl keeps getting better and better, and so do the girls' wardrobes!

Last night, Serena van der Woodsen took a traditional school girl ensemble and gave it a sassy twist with a sequined Nanette Lepore cardigan, over-the-knee tights a la Carrie Bradshaw, and a brown Botkier bag. Isn't it ironic that these ladies dress in school uniforms yet act like seasoned adults? That's why you gotta love Gossip Girl.

Gracia Plaid Mini Skirt - $54.00	Botkier Nomad Small Satchel - $594.00

All this talk of eco-friendly bag trends and environmentally-conscious clothing lines has really gone to your heads!

Trend Alert: His Vest

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 13:50:33 -0700

There are quite a few things we are taking from "the man" this Spring. We first saw it with a vengeance on the Spring/Summer runways and then we dabbled in menswear inspired accessories. I'd have to say I'm pretty excited for his vests. Vests are a cute cover up that add tailoring to a look and this Spring you can wear a vest preppy, striped or sporty - buttoned up or loosely open. Just keep the rest of the look flowy, so you don't look too buttoned up. Here's some suggested styling that proves vests are not too masculine and way modern.

The Look for Less: LaRok Cannes T-Neck Halter Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

I have many style mantras, but one I really stick to is that you can never have too many good lookin' LBDs. This LaRok Cannes T-Neck Halter Dress ($168) would definitely keep me honest and true to my mantra. It has a great neckline and is made out of a comfy jersey material. Now if only the price tag was as ideal as the dress . . . but wait, I found a solution!

This Lux Modern Love Dress ($58) has the same fun halter neckline, same jersey material, and same LBD appeal. It even has a drapey front that reminds me of the black Alexander McQueen dress Sienna Miller wore. But when it all comes down to it, anything that looks good and saves me $110, I'm all for.

Celebrity Style: Miley Cyrus

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Miley Cyrus chatted with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM just the other day. She has traded her blond locks in for something a bit more rock 'n roll and I like it. To go with her new red 'do, she wore a LaRok studded vest and dark skinny jeans. Like a true fashion chameleon, Miley can go from youthful and fun to edgy all in a matter of weeks.
