Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:00:11 -0700

I've been looking for good examples of transitional outfits, and leave it to Charlize to give us one. If you still want to show off your tan gams come Fall, layers are the answer. This look manages to be both cozy and collected. Sometimes the idea of throwing things on and cinching it all together with smart accessories just works. Charlize's choice of earthy hues does no wrong, either.

Online Sale Alert! Bargains at Barneys

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I don't have to tell you that when there's a sale at Barneys, it's best to just take a look. I mean, how can you not not look?! I looked and found this Vena Cava Pandora Skirt in Pearl ($79, originally $298). How sultry would it be with a silk black tank and metallic sandals? But, for the better of my pocketbook, it's only available in a size 10. While there are many Barneys bargains, just keep an eye on the sizes, they are unpredictable. But still, have a lookie . . .

Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:00:22 -0800

What a lovely little lady Hayden Panettiere has become! While most other stars showed up to Z100's Annual Jingle Ball in casual gear, the petite actress stepped it up a notch in a dramatic white ruffle blouse and black pencil skirt. Some may say she's a tad overdressed for the occasion, but I say more power to her. . . . this is how fashionistas ought to differentiate themselves from the masses.

Lux Pinafore Blouse - $48.00	Rag & Bone Highwaist Pinstripe Pencil Skirt - $245.00
BCBGirls Women's Cayla Pump - $97.95	Lenora Dame faceted lucite cocktail ring - $31.00
Castaway Jewelry Pyrite Nugget Earrings in Gold - $80.00	JALDA Crocodile Embossed Clutch - $215.00

Online Sale Alert! Up to 40% Off at Banana Republic!

FabSugar — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 15:30:33 -0700

Exciting news: Banana Republic just started their Fall Sale! What perfect timing, since Fall weather seems to be hitting everywhere, and I could use a few warmer additions to my wardrobe. They have plenty of options to keep me nice and cozy in cooler temperatures: cute little jackets, wool pants, silk scarves, sweaters, and pumps.

How amazing would this Plaid lightweight wool double-vent skirt, $50 (originally $88), be with a great pair of dark tights and sexy booties? The cut is very lady-like, the wool will keep you snuggly, and the cut makes it perfect for either work or a sophisticated night out. I'll take it!

Look of the Day: Pencil Her In

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 07:00:22 -0700

I would pencil her in anyday after seeing luvpizaman in this fantastic pencil skirt-driven getup! The black top on dark denim combo looks really nice, very flattering, and I like how she broke up the dark on dark with the skinny white belt. For a little pizazz, the patent pumps were a great touch!

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Banana Republic
Skirt: The Limited
Shoes: Exchange by Charles David
Belt: Linea Pelle
Watch: Anthropologie

Congrats to luvpizaman!

Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock. I can't decide which version I like best, they're all so pretty.

Here's why you need one (or all three): they're a modern alternative to the basic black pencil skirt, they're super inexpensive, and they're the perfect rich hues for Fall. To counterbalance the fanciness, I would wear one with a gray tee and a faux fur collar scarf. And if the length is too stuffy for you, chop it or wear it as a paperbag skirt!

Online Sale Alert! Discounts at Acrimony

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

There's a boutique in San Francisco - Acrimony - that I love to frequent for its fashion-forward selection. Thanks to its online shop, everyone can partake in the progressive fun. If you're on a tight budget, peruse its sale section, which has interesting pieces by VPL, Stretsis, Wayf, and United Bamboo.

In the market for a pencil skirt? Consider this sleek Quail Reckoner Skirt ($82, originally $164), which also comes in black. Reminds me of something Victoria Beckham would wear . . .

Celeb Style: Scarlett Johansson

FabSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Dolce and Gabbana's makeup muse did some promoting at Selfridges department store in London earlier today. She usually plays up her sex-kitten persona, but here she opted for a ladylike look by Dolce and Gabbana. The pretty floral blouse is tempered by a long and lean pencil skirt and finished with a pair of nude peep-toe pumps. But it wouldn't be Scarlett without some sexy - her red lips help achieve just that.
