Trend Alert: The Great Gatsby

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:03:33 -0700

Here is my ode to The Great Gatsby. Fashion is experiencing a throwback to the times of art deco, pleats, beading, speak-easies, and the Belle Epoque. Legendary designer Paul Poiret has been referenced and you can see his dropped hemline and flapper hats in a major way in the Proenza Schouler Fall 2007 collection. After all the 70s and 80s we've been seeing on the runway these seem fresh and a step in a new fashion direction - just don't take away my booze!

Looks like this is a trend that's going to be around for a couple seasons so if you fancy it, check out these glamorous Spring Gatsby finds, read more

Dress You Up! T-Shirt Dresses

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:20:40 -0700

I saved the most laid back of this Spring's Dress You Up! for Friday. Seriously, looking at one of these I just want to go to bed, wake up, roll out of bed and get back into bed - they are so comfy looking. Because of this t-shirt dresses are probably best saved for the weekend or if you have a really office casual job. I leave you on a TGIF note with these picks.

I hope you enjoyed Dress You Up! this week, I know I did. Seeing as how dresses are one of the key clothing items for Spring, stay tuned for a Part II in weeks to come.

American Apparel Sheer Rib Short Sleeve Tunique, $34.

Love from Ya Ya Scoop Back Tee Dress, $128.

I Want This Wardrobe: '80s Flashback, Lily and Carol Rhodes

FabSugar — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:22:07 -0700

It's a blast from the past! Check out Lily and sister Carol in Gossip Girl's throwback episode. Aren't they adorable? We're used to seeing Lily polished in the present but as a teen, via Brittany Snow, she was all about color and fun thanks to costume designer Meredith Markworth-Pollack.

The bad girl paired her tiered polka-dot dress with pink Givenchy cut-out heels, lace leggings from Urban Outfitters, and a cropped asymmetrical jacket. Rad. Her sister Carol, aka Krysten Ritter, opted for a more vintage look wearing a nautical dress by Ya-Ya, Jordache jean jacket, white boots, yellow drawstring bag, and loads of accessories. I can only imagine the trouble these two caused. Oh, did I mention '80s heartthrob Andrew McCarthy will make an appearance as Lily's music-executive father? If you like what you witness in tonight's episode, keep your eyes peeled for producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's untitled Gossip Girl spinoff, which follows the crazy life of 17-year-old Lily in Los Angeles, circa 1983.

Nanette Lepore Kaleidoscope Dress - $375.00	Joie Cropped Motorcycle Jacket - Black - $698.00
Givenchy Cutout Shoe Bootie - $785.00	Silence & Noise Lace Inset Legging - $38.00

Exclusive Fab Interview With Nicholai by Nicky Hilton!

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Let me tell ya, coming to LA Fashion Week, I was not expecting to claim Nicholai by Nicky Hilton as my favorite collection. The naughty equestrian clothes were desirable, but the designer herself was delightful. A supportive big sis Paris showed up backstage and naturally caused a frenzy. Oh, but before approaching Nicky and the photogs, Paris asked to see a mirror to inspect herself in her red Nicholai dress!
When the chaos died down, I chatted with Nicky, who immediately complimented me on my H&M scarf! Despite giving over a dozen interviews, she remained cheerful and sweet. It looks like designing comes pretty naturally to this - ahem - Hilton. As if things couldn't have gotten any better than meeting Nicky and sitting amongst her family during the show, they did. As we were waiting for the valet to bring our car, Nicky drove right past us in boyfriend David Katzenberg's Range Rover, but not before giving us a smile, a wave . . . and a kiss. Aw!

Congrats on another successful collection, Nicky. How do you feel?

I’m excited, I’m relieved, I’m thrilled. Everything went really well and smoothly so I’m very content.

What was your inspiration behind this collection?

The inspiration this season was equestrian, but I wanted to make it a naughty and nice. It was equestrian meets bondage and S&M, hence the latex leggings, patent leather buckles, and the whip. I wanted it to be sophisticated, tasteful, and edgy at the same time.

To read more of my exclusive interview with Nicky Hilton, and to see more photos, read more

What is your favorite piece from the collection?

I’m a big jacket person so I think all the jackets - the trenches, the little leather jackets, the patent leather jackets, the blazers.

Did you come across any obstacles this season?

I really had a vision and knew what I wanted this season. I knew the hair I wanted, I knew the makeup. I love the riding hat element. I thought it was very fashion forward. It was very easy this time around.

Who are your style icons?

I love Anna Wintour, but who doesn’t? She has the best closet in America. Cameron Diaz has a really fun, quirky sense of style.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Celebrity Rehab, Cartier, and jewelry.

Screen Actors Guild Awards: Best Dressed

FabSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:05:18 -0800

Here is my second favorite part of any red carpet show down: Letting you all decide who was the best dressed of the night. These final six were narrowed down by your votes and I tell ya, this is a toughie. We concluded that because the Golden Globes were a no-go, ladies decided to strut their stuff in high style for the SAGs. Boy did they ever. But do you see a theme here? We all seem to be loving blues and greys on the red carpet. Without further ado, the nominees for best dressed . . .

Today's 'It' girl Sienna Miller plays the original 'It' girl Edie Sedgwick in the movie Factory Girl hitting theaters today. After getting the inside scoop from the film's costume designer John Dunn, I learned that Sienna's wardrobe was, not surprisingly, mostly vintage - except a pair of killer Jimmy Choo boots.

As much as I would love to go back in time to snag some of these Fab pieces for myself, check out what I did find, ready and available to all of us. Oh and here's a tip: don't forget to wear a pair of sturdy black American Apparel jersey hot shorts, $12, if you dare wear Edie's signature black tights look.
