Animal Hause

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:00:22 -0700

By now, most of you know that in addition to fashion I also love animals. I am, after all, mommy to my Frenchie Annabelle. Imagine taking our favorite animals and pairing them with the industry's hottest models and the world's most sought-after designers. Welcome to the animal hause! I've been noticing many a editorial featuring our furry, and not-so-furry, friends: dogs, monkeys, elephants, cats, cheetahs. Oh, and an eland (a type of antelope) like the one model Behati Prinsloo is battling in April's Harper's Bazaar. Some of these are sexy, some are scary, some serious, and some comical. Welcome to the jungle baby.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Taylor Momsen

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:00:22 -0800

True, we already Celebrity Styled this rockin' look, but we can't get over it. It's so fabulous. Taylor wore it through what looked like a fun night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Annex NYC grand opening and the The Rowdy Collection Spring Preview Party. If I was wearing this flashy dress I would party hop, too.

I do agree with you that this Gossip Girl often dresses too mature for her age (she's 15), but I think this is an age appropriate get up. She is wearing tights under her slashed Alexander Wang silver embellished dress. And, she is young and therefore has every right to wear a mini. I like her platinum blonde feathery 'do now that it's grown out a bit. Her pointy Balenciaga pumps are hard core and her silver cuffs added additional silver sassiness. Taylor's got the attitude of a party monkey and a bod for sin. Party on.

Glitterati: Odette New York

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

If you're a nature lover, check out the whimsical designs of Jennifer Sarkilahti, dubbed Odette New York. Taking inspiration from the flora and fauna around her, Jennifer creates a unique line of necklaces and earrings. In addition to the svelte snake are an abundance of bunnies, monkeys, birds, and other cute creatures made from sterling silver and solid gold.

You may not realize this, but making quality jewels is a lot of work. Jennifer's designs are all made from an intricate process requiring her to hand sketch everything, create a wax mold from the sketch, cast the metals, and polish the final pieces. Sounds like a lot of work, but well worth it!

Who Wore It Better? White & Black Jumpsuits

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:00:33 -0700

Get ready because full-on jumpsuits are back! Christina Aguilera recently wore a white halter one during her "Back to Basics" tour in Korea, while Heidi Klum sported a black strapless Michael Kors version at the Diamond Monkey collection event. I would wear Heidi's because it's more elegant and up-to-date - though I love the flash of Christina's on stage. Who do you think wore it better?

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Lopez

J-Lo glowed at the launch of Lorraine Schwartz's Diamond Monkey collection. Leave it to Jennifer to sport a lush white jumper with pouffy sleeves. We settled for a white shirtdress to achieve her easy, sophisticated look - but it gets the job done! Paired with chunky metallic platforms and stacked bangles, the outfit gets an instant injection of oomph!

Model of the Week: Caroline D'Amore

FabSugar — Wed, 16 May 2007 08:02:22 -0700

Model of the Week Caroline D'Amore is known in the press as a "Hollywood It Girl" and you may have seen her hanging out with pal Paris Hilton at chic soirees. The 23-year-old grew up in Malibu, California, but she moved to New York City at the age of 17 to pursue a modeling career. Since then, the dark beauty has appeared on covers and inside magazines like Teen Vogue, Santa Barbara Magazine, Seventeen, Cosmo Girl, Flaunt and Nylon.

Paper Magazine recently selected Caroline for their beautiful people issue and deemed her "The cutest girl in L.A!" What's more, the petite model has strutted her stuff for such designers as Heatherette, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg and Agent Provocateur.

FAB: What is the most memorable show you walked in?
CD: The most memorable show that I ever walked in was probably the Heatherette show. I still to this day can’t believe I pulled it off. I actually have no idea how I booked that show because in the audition they put us in these ridiculously high stripper heels and then told us to walk. I, of course, fell right there in front of everyone. When my agents at Nous called me and told me I booked I was like “Why? How?” But I was excited anyways. Then the show was even scarier because of those same heels. And on top of it we didn’t get to walk on a normal runway. It was a circus theme and we had to walk through a dirt covered circus ring. All I remember was saying over and over “please don’t fall” and I didn’t fall. Yay!

FAB: If your house was burning down and you could only save one clothing item, what would it be and why?
CD: It would be my bright red Audrey Hepburn pea coat from Petrazillia. Even though it looks like a Christmas gift I just love the timeless style of it and the warmth that it gives me.

FAB: What is one destination you still need a stamp for on your passport?
CD: The one destination that I still need a stamp for in my passport is Tanzania. I really want to go on a safari and see all the zebras and monkeys.

FAB: Who are your favorite designers?
CD: Stella McCartney, Primp and Diane Von Furstenberg.

FAB: What are three words that describe your personal style?
CD: Rocker, flirty, and chic.

So you just broke up with your boyfriend, and you're headed out the door for some Ben & Jerry's? Not so fast! We love us some Chunky Monkey too, but maybe you just need some moral support!

PlumParty has a fabulous array of party supplies for every occasion, including these ridiculously cute Break-Up Party Supplies.

Sure, if you're throwing a bridal shower or a tailgate party, they've got that stuff too... but who needs those kinds of reminders of the man you just left behind? Party on, girls!
