Trend Alert: Tangerine, Tangerine

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

How does the Zeppelin song go? "Measuring a summer's day, I only finds it slips away to gray, the hours, they bring me pain . . . " OK, actually kinda depressing. Miranda Kerr is anything but in her tangerine, tangerine. Like my most wanted tangerine Topshop beanie, Miranda's tangy blouse is uplifting. Times are still tough, let's help keep heads up by donning a happy color. Even in small doses, via a belt or bag, tangerine oozes tranquility. Tangerine, tangerine.

Gossip Girl Fashion Quiz: Episode 4 (Bad News Blair)

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:30:22 -0700

Is it me or was last night's episode of Gossip Girl the best so far?! There was a big emphasis on fashion, with Blair's mother's photo shoot, and Blair and Serena were giddy girlfriends again. Oh to be young and rich! While I wasn't really feeling the poker game scandal with the boys, I did get a kick out of Chuck's basketball getup. The final scene where the girls steal the mom's clothes to get back at her un-motherly conduct then they go and do their own photo shoot around NYC was a fun little montage. Also, if you were coveting any of the mother's designs don't forget they are actually the designs of Lorick - we've got the inside scoop for you! As Gossip Girl herself says: "xoxo."
