The Look For Less: Prada Stud Bow Ballet Flats

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

I know bow flats have been around forever, but I recently became smitten with these Prada Stud Bow Flats ($530). What I don't love, however, is the high cost. The soft bow and studs are desirable - the price tag, not so much.

These Jessica Simpson Betrice Stud Bow Flats ($69) are more like it. Sure, they're not Prada, but they're equally black, suede, and have gold studs sprinkled over the soft bows. Plus, the price is just right. Bow-tiful!

Kristen Stewart Style, Post-Twilight, Present-New Moon

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Ever since Twilight, we've been watching Bella Swan, I mean, Kristen Stewart, like a hawk. Her street style hasn't changed much - jeans, tee, and leather jacket are her usual M.O. - but her red carpet looks have evolved into something magical. In the beginning of her post-Twilight stardom, the actress shied away from elaborate gowns and funky frocks, but times have changed and so has Kristen. As of late, the star has been dazzling us with head-to-toe designer looks from the likes of Jason Wu, Alexander McQueen, and Oscar de la Renta, to name a few. Hottie Robert Pattinson as arm candy doesn't hurt, either. Is it just me, or is the shy wallflower starting to bloom into an elegant rose? See what I'm talking about!

Who Wore Her Prada Bra Better - Zoe or Chloë?

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

In honor of its latest book, titled Prada, the Italian fashion house had a launch party at its Rodeo Drive boutique. Naturally, only the chicest celebs showed up wearing their favorite Prada getups. The two most daring guests were Zoe Saldana and Chloë Sevigny, who came showing off their bras. Zoe opted for a pinky nude bra underneath a sheer teal blouse and a silk maroon skirt, while Chloë wore a slate one under a heather gray vest and embellished Miu Miu skirt. I applaud both ladies for their fashion guts, but who wore her Prada bra better?

Celeb Style: Halle Berry

Halle Berry joined Nicole Richie at the March of Dimes annual Celebration of Babies event in LA over the weekend. While Nicole opted for a boho maxi, Halle looked sexy sleek in a navy blue Yigal Azrouel number and smokey suede pumps. I love the way the dress melts over her curves and shows just enough cleavage. A diamond bracelet, diamond-studded earrings, and a delicate necklace provide the right amount of sparkle.

Fab Read: Prada

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Prada is jumping on the designer-book bandwagon. The Italian house has unveiled a 706-page book, titled Prada, that highlights the house's 30 years of fashion, art, and more. "For Prada, fashion, luxury and style go beyond producing an infinity of clothes and shoes, so the book wants to illustrate the various aspects through which Prada expresses itself," said Patrizio Bertelli, chief executive officer of Prada Group. The tome, which retails for about $150, will hit Prada stores, select bookstores, and Prada.com.

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Mkoesnadi is jungle chic in pretty paisley prints. She's mastered the casual vibe of a blazer thrown over a femme little dress. And she's got mad styling skills - she cinches the whole thing with a belt and doesn't skimp on stellar accessories, from her gladiators to her luxe tote.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Wishdrobe
Dress: BCBG MaxAzria
Necklace: Forever 21
Bangles: Armani Exchange
Bag: Prada
Shoes: Far East Plaza (Singapore)

Congrats Mkoesnadi!

Trend Alert: Modern Navy

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I've never been a huge fan of navy, but Ciara has me thinking twice. At the Originals by Originals Adidas launch in LA, the singer donned a modern navy cutout dress that exudes sleek style. Sizzle. You don't have to show skin - though I would - to exude this contemporary attitude, just focus on streamlined cuts, funky embellishments, and an avant-garde aesthetic. Hmmm, crisp cobalt also made a recent comeback. Could it be the return of blue? I think so . . .

2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week: Prada

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

For Spring '10, Miuccia Prada concocted a collection inspired by sea and surf. However, it wasn't your typical beach-inspired line. “Beach and antiquity - high and low - it is all the same,” said Miuccia Prada. “It is supposed to be an ironic take - sometimes nostalgic, for a contemporary take on antiquity for those who don’t understand the beauty of the past.” Well said, Miuccia.

Red-lipped models, complete with tousled ponytails, exuded a youthful innocence as they walked down the runway in a variety of crisp shorts - ranging from knicker-inspired, to long and lean, and even a couple of biker shorts - structured jackets, and embellished tops adorned with palm trees, in some darker hues for the print-challenged. But it was really the crystal-laden pieces that stole the show. These shimmering objects, via dresses and shoes, dazzled with every step. Definitely unique, and with a little modifying, like adding a slip underneath the dress, icons such as Ashley Olsen or Diane Kruger would surely take the bait.

Trend Alert: Drawstring Bags

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:06:03 -0700

There are two rules I abide by when shopping: function and fashion. That's why I'm so smitten with the resurgence of drawstring bags. This sporty, luxe attitude goes perfectly with today's casual cool style and even translates well when paired with tailored ensembles. Oh, on another note, I purchased a crackly gold metallic version of this Foley + Corinna Drawstring Bag ($445) a couple months ago - so rad.

Fall Glimpse: Hot Toes

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

No Fall glimpse would be complete without a preview of some of the most captivating shoes to trot down the runways. The boot of the season is no doubt the over-the-knee, while wicked platforms and cutesie pumps rule, too. Heels got a lot of play - curved, pin straight, studded, wooden. And textures were wild: brocade, woven leather, super stretch, rich suede, ruffled. It's time to experiment. Stare again at these John Galliano pom pom lace-ups? Well, I nevah!
