Celeb Style: Olivia Palermo

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:03:57 PDT

Over the weekend, Olivia Palermo and hottie boyfriend Johannes Huebl had a date night at a Showtime movie screening in NYC. I know it's hard to take your eyes off of Johannes, but do so for a second to focus on Olivia's flirty femme ensemble. The red cutout top is vivacious, while her floral miniskirt lends a darling touch. Matching red ballet flats, a black leather belt, a gold bracelet, and a crocodile clutch complete her look. Love it?

Celeb Style: Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz showed off her dazzling smile at the Good Morning America studios to promote her latest flick Knight and Day with costar Tom Cruise. Her drapey Elizabeth and James beige shorts, white tank, and light chambray blazer combo is the epitome of Summer chic. A pair of Chloe wedge sandals, gold chain necklace, Anita Ko stud earrings, and House of Lavande lucite bangle further her fresh southern Cali style. If you got it, flaunt it.

Nancy Gonzalez Loves a Challenge

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:00:22 PDT

Not too long ago, Saks invited me to meet handbag designer Nancy Gonzalez. For those not familiar, Nancy has been delivering decadent - read: exotic - handbags since 1998. Think of a Nancy Gonzalez bag as a classic - up there with Chanel and Bottega Veneta - only spicier. That is because Nancy hails from Colombia and splits her time between New York and her native country. She was very warm and vivacious. But when it came her to her bags, she was serious.

Others serious about Nancy's bags include Mary-Kate Olsen, who has recently been carrying her clutches, and a couple appeared in the Sex and the City movie. They're everywhere really; you just have to keep an eye out, as there's no mistaking her bright croc signature. Here's what goes on in the designer's brain.

What made you decide to work with animal skins for your bags?

"I have always worked with precious skins. The collaboration with nature has always fascinated me."

How do you get your colored bags so bright?

"My colors are inspired by the exuberant landscape of my native Colombia. All our skins our naturally dyed and then buffed, which brings out this particular radiant, colorful luster that my bags have."

To read the rest,

Which is your favorite bag from your latest collection?

"I am always attached to those bags which are hardest to do. Such as the woven crocodile ones. In particular, one woven in the shape of leaves."

Your bags are pretty pricey. Are you going to be doing anything in a lower price point in reaction to the current economic crisis?

"One's own state of mind will inform the time and style in which one lives. My job as a designer is to interpret the times with imagination, artistry, and daring. I want to provide a chic, effortless, modern, approachable, and beautiful product at the right price."

Describe the women who wear your bags.

"Every woman that wants a universal, unique, true, exciting, sincere, and joyful experience."

Celebrity Style: Mary-Kate Olsen

FabSugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 01:00:11 PDT

In case you haven't heard, Miss Mary-Kate is a juror for the Tribeca Film Festival. She attended a brunch, along with her co-jurors, but stood out in her sexy hot pink Herve Leger bandage skirt, black leather jacket, and Elizabeth and James mules. Her Nancy Gonzalez croc clutch took the luxe factor up a few notches. And is that an anklet I spy?! Looks like MK is bringing it back. Isn't it refreshing to see Mary-Kate in a form-fitting outfit? She pulls it off flawlessly.

Battle of the Chanel: Kruger vs. Olsen

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:45:26 PDT

My Friday was just made more Fab. A handful of gorgeous celebs came out to Chanel's Tribeca Film Festival event last night, but these two took the biggest risks and therefore tickled my fashion fancy. Diane kept things elegant but slightly exotic in gray-silk harem pants, a black turtleneck, and a cross-body embellished Chanel purse. Meanwhile, Mary-Kate wowed in a witchy beaded black frock, Givenchy heels, and a red croc Nancy Gonzalez clutch. Both très Fab, but totally different. Who wins?

Trend Alert: Where the Wild Bags Are

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:00:22 PDT

It's August. Shed your style and go wild. It's time to wear all your flesh flattering clothes - it's now or never! Sorry for the dramatics, but these handbags have me where the wild bags are. From flea market finds to lazy totes to full on luxotica, wearing an ethnic-inspired handbag feels, and looks, so right. Right? Camila Alves knows how to work the wild bag here at her Muxo handbags debut, while Lake and Rachel look like they picked theirs up along some surfin' safari. Where will you wear your wild bag?

Celebrity Style: Amber Valetta

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:00:22 PDT

I always look forward to seeing veteran models on the red carpet, especially when they have enviably effortless style. Amber Valetta attended Fashion For Life 2008 in a strapless metallic bronze dress, accessorized with a gold box clutch, strappy sandals, and bangles. It's an unfussy and elegant look that can easily be imitated even in a different color palette.

When gifting the Big Boss - you know, the one you only get to talk to when something very good or very bad happens - tread lightly. Of course, you're going to earn brownie points by thinking of them during the holidays, but those can be lost just as easily if you pick the wrong thing. Sticking to a gift that is consummately professional is definitely the way to go.

Celebrity Style: Carrie Underwood

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:00:22 PST

Carrie Underwood showed up to Condé Nast's first annual Movies Rock event in a breathtaking Naeem Khan red V-front gown. I must say, she's the most stunning lady in red I've seen in a while. What makes this number stand out is the gold studded waist and draped sleeves. Her golden accessories are just right. Bellissima!
