Trend Alert: Standout Jewels

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

Team Fab was just chatting about how jewelry can really make an outfit. And with today's costume jewelry designers and yesterday's vintage jewelry, there are so many options. Julianne Moore's grey YSL dress is pretty awesome, but all I see here is that amazing colorful Boucheron necklace. I wouldn't even call it a necklace - it is jeweled art. Here are some more standout jewels, ready to inspire . . .

Celeb Style: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Oh, Monet. You're relatively incognito, but when you do show your face - and bod - it's refreshing and ultra styley. The actress did some shopping in London in a casual gray monochrome 'fit. Her gold-studded Topshop sweater already has me obsessed, and her faded gray jeans are rugged chic. Neutral accessories, including tan Louboutin pumps, a gold ball ring, and an adorable knit beret, are spot-on. Happy shopping, Monet!

Sportif is way underrated. Check out actress Monet Mazur dropping by Solstice Sunglasses for a little try on. Yes, you should get those red Carreras! Her cropped khaki pants are perfectly utilitarian, while her black gladiators and draped tank are solid accompaniments. Her orange strapped crossbody bag adds a punch, while eclectic jewelry provides subtle flair. Too cool.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Sleek, sexy, sophisticated - all words to describe Monet Mazur at The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening in New York. While her Issa of London noir gown doesn't reveal much, it exposes in all the right places. And here's a lesson in accessories. Take a classic dress, add a splash of color (Stella McCartney satin plum clutch) and pile on vintage jewelry, preferably Chanel vintage jewelry. I especially like how she layers the bracelets haphazardly. For added oomph, she wears the studded Steve Madden gladiators that are all the rage. Some high fashion, some low fashion, all fabulous.

Fab Flash: Economy Forces Bridal Designers to Think Bigger and Cheaper

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:50:22 -0700

During trying, economic times, bridal designers are forced to think creatively. On top of slashing prices, designers are cooking up new, imaginative designs to lure in the bride to be. Vera Wang, for example, reduced her price points up to 50 percent with gowns retailing at $3,600 compared to $5,500 last year. "There is a bigger challenge. You have to be creative and be sure you want to show something special,” said Carolina Herrera who came up with a unique bridal collection inspired by classic painters such as Claude Monet and Édouard Manet.

2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Balenciaga

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Nicolas Ghesquière may have delivered some silky, shouldery Dynasty-esque dresses in his Fall collection, but the '80s references stop there. Plus, I kinda love the dresses . . . Always with a smidge of sci-fi, this is possibly the most wearable Balenciaga collection yet. But it still manages to be distinct. Some looks are bedroom inspired, with draped satin skirts and pants. Others are lush - black velvet suits and jackets with sculptured curves and bows. Prints range from Monet-like artsy to marbleized. Bonus extras include lace bra bandeaus, chunky gold cuffs, and colored tie shoes.
