Kim Kardashian's One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 05:17:22 -0700

Kim Kardashian's been on our radar for her suddenly sophisticated fashion choices. For the Diamond Empowerment Fund event in South Africa, the beauty wore an interesting one-shoulder corset dress (perhaps a custom piece from Ports 1971?) and matching gladiator platform sandals. The hue is perfection against her olive complexion, but I'm not too sure about the severely studded belt. It definitely gives her a tough-girl aura, but the contrast is too stark for my taste. Another success for Kim?

Fast & Furious isn't exactly my kind of flick, but I must admit, it's been nice witnessing all the looks actress Jordana Brewster has been rocking at the premieres. From Madrid to London, France to Germany and Hollywood, Jordana has spiced it up each time. All her dresses are lovely, but which do you think is most Fab?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Personal Finance Seminar

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Confession: I'm not the sharpest when it comes to finance. Don't get me wrong, I know the basics, thanks to SavvySugar, but I want to learn more about investing my hard-earned money. To help point me in the right direction, a friend suggested I attend a personal finance seminar. As expected, I was amongst suits, ties, and chinos, but thanks to you, I found a sharp ensemble that was perfect number-crunching fun.

I started you off with this Yves Saint Laurent Crackled Patent Rive Gauche Tote ($1,596); it's chic without going overboard. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by cnyc1a, is tailored and timeless. Love the blazer.

Which Rosario Dawson Seven Pounds Premiere Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 03:30:08 -0800

The worldwide promotion of Seven Pounds has kept Rosario Dawson happily busy in a bevy of beautiful dresses. In LA, the actress wore a slick Bottega Veneta nude number (which was my Fab favorite); in Germany, she shined in a silk chiffon asymmetrical gown by Azzaro; in Rome, Rosario wore a sassy Bottega Veneta LBD and a navy Ports 1961 frock; and in Paris, Dawson opted for a light lavender strapless Sonia Rykiel number with purple Christian Louboutin pumps. Tell me, which Rosario Dawson look do you prefer?

Trend Alert: Modern Mustard

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:00:11 -0700

Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon? Modern mustard is the latest hot hue. Hear it from Michael Kors when he says, "I think mustard has an automatic warmth to it. They work like the solid that's not a solid. A good investment piece isn't always black pants or a white dress."

This yellowish green looks best on textured fabrics, like a sweater, and if the color doesn't suit you skin tone, opt for a striking belt or bag. How will you spread your mustard?

On Our Radar: Ports 1961 Lights the Fashion Torch For NBC

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:00:22 -0700

The upcoming 2008 Olympics in Beijing has designers in a frenzy to get their names heard. American sportswear brand Ports 1961 has secured a deal with NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the USA Network correspondents to wear its classic designs while covering the exciting events in Beijing.

“When I was first approached to create a capsule collection for the NBC Olympic Commentators, I was honored,” said Tia Cibani, Creative Director of Ports 1961. “I can relate to their hectic work schedule and the necessity to have to have easy, modern, and accessible clothing that travels well. I took into consideration each woman’s personal sense of style and fused it with the classic Ports 1961 sensibility.”

Commentators to be outfitted in Ports 1961 include NBC late-night show host and Olympic correspondent Mary Carillo, MSNBC coverage host Melissa Stark, USA Network and CNBC coverage host Alex Flanagan, and Oxygen coverage host and sports desk reporter Lindsay Czarniak. Go team USA!

Behind the Seams: Ports 1961 and Elle "Shop Your Closet" Launch Party

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

You may be curious to know what Nicky Hilton wore to the Ports 1961 and Elle Shop Your Closet book launch party. I know I was. A $1,795 Ports 1961 layered lace dress that by the end of the night morphed into a one-shoulder frock. Lake Bell was also in attendance at the Ports boutique in LA, as was actress Leven Rambin. The night consisted of shopping (duh), sipping on white wine, and reading up on Shop Your Closet: The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Closet With Style by Melanie Charlton Fascitelli ($14). I won't give away much else. Step inside for the fun.

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 11:30:33 -0700

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!
