Celeb Style: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

The 2009 Glamour Women of the Year awards in NYC celebrated the industry's most powerful women. Rihanna went for high drama, but Stella McCartney played it nonchalantly cool. The designer walked the red carpet in a look from her Resort line: a purple silk frock, a cropped black collarless jacket, and black pumps. Never one to go overboard with accessories, Stella added a touch of sparkle via diamond drop earrings. Perfection.

Stella McCartney Gold Trim Platform Pump - $795.00	Kir Tassel Earrings - $292.00
KC Malhan 04 Leopard Clutch - $78.00

Celeb Style: Rachel Bilson

Lucky Magazine and Madewell's Fall Denim Tour was the place to be last night. Celebs mixed and mingled, all of them looking super cute. But the real standout was mixmaster Rachel Bilson. Up top she wore a The Lady & The Sailor polka dot tank and a black ribbed cardigan, while on bottom she wore a cool black-and-white Myne skirt and combat boots. Her Phillip Lim bow bag softens her up, while the high bun adds further spunk to her funk.

Look Book Love: Madewell's Fall Goodies

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Most of my Fall shopping is complete, but Madewell has convinced me there's always room for a little more. Its look book is filled with cozy cool options offering up rail-straight cords - my favorite is this soft blush hue - sweet sweaters, polished coats, and awesome boots. This heather oatmeal funnel scarf will surely come in handy for chilly mornings and I know I'd wear this green parka to death. Somehow, Madewell always manages to make the simplest things look so cool. Color me inspired.

Madewell's $59.50 Skinny Skinnys

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Now this is more like it. J.Crew is focusing on the "skinny skinny" denim silhouette with Madewell ’37s jeans collection offered at the just-right price of $59.50. The detail-free (love that) jeans will come in a variety of modern washes: black, plume, avalanche (modified acid-wash), dark ash, and chimney (a bleached-out black-on-gray).

Honing in on quality at a low price point, and the current saturated denim market, Millard “Mickey” Drexler, chairman and chief executive officer of Madewell parent J. Crew Group Inc., explains, "We don’t think [the jeans market] is saturated with cool, well-made, well-designed jeans at $59.50 and up to about $100, particularly with a style, fit, and wash point of view."

The tagline for the marketing of the '37s is "Cool jeans. Great price. We’ve got your back." That's trying a little too hard when it sounds like the product will sell itself. Just sayin.' See one more cute Madewell look.

Sneak Peek! Madewell Fall and Holiday '09

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 08:50:00 -0700

Hot off the heels of its sizzling Spring collection is Madewell's Fall and holiday offerings. This time, the design team found inspiration from a recent trip to Paris and mixed that together with their all-American aesthetic. The outcome is a genius mix of chunky knits, lumberjack tops, Parisian-inspired prints, and a ton of denim. “We’re obsessed with washing,” said head designer of Madewell, Kin Lee, who mentioned that leathers, scarves, and knits were also put in the wash for a worn-in feel. Affordable, effortless, stylish pieces; what more can you ask for?

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

You all went gaga over Madewell's Spring look book so I bet you'll be excited for this news. Shopbop and Madewell have teamed up to create an exclusive denim collection, which consists of jackets, torn jeans, a romper, a miniskirt, and more. My favorite piece is the Ex Boyfriend Jeans ($200) because the name - a play on the boyfriend jeans trend - is cheeky. Prices aren't cheap at $125 to $200, but at least you know you're paying for quality and cuteness.

Look Book Love: Madewell Spring '09

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 05:00:22 -0800

If there was ever a Spring look book I wanted to mimic outfit by outfit, it's Madewell's Spring '09 one. What I appreciate is that it's fashionable but entirely accessible. None of the outfits are too over-the-top. In fact, you probably already own a bunch of the pieces. These Spring looks are ideal for a gal who wants simplicity with a dash of pizazz. Like, the ensemble on the left has enough sass to stand out, but not so much that it looks overly calculated. The collection is already in stores, so check it out, and find a location near you.

The preview reveals sketch-print tees inspired by an artist’s notebook, brushstroke-print dresses, and grey denim that represents the concrete found throughout the city. Loose tunic tops, a fitted blazer, brightly printed scarves and lots of yellow hues round out the offering.

Joy's got the necklace mix down. It's so easy, and it elevates her simple look. It's also a sweet way to show off your sentimental style. I tend to layer chains with charms, and mix metals, but I'm now inspired to throw beads, chains, and ribbons into the mix. The only rule is, there is no rule! Have fun, don't hesitate to create, create, create.
