Trend Alert: Black Patent Loafers

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Mossie sure knows how to make a statement with her feet; notice her black patent loafers. Kate in head-to-toe black in nothing new, but she ups the style ante with a double dose of shine and menswear charm. I wear my oxfords contrasted with a frilly dress, or torn up jeans, or you can do like Kate and don cropped pants for a sassy money look.

Celebrity Style: Jamie-Lynn Sigler

I've noticed celebrities love them some Toast Cafe in LA. I can't blame them, it's yummy! Jamie-Lynn Sigler lunched at the trendy eatery dressed in a black and cream Lauren Moffatt dress and Repetto ballet flats. For a touch of bright, Jamie threw on red, two-tone Ray Ban Wayfarers, which match her red wallet. The actress kept the look refined with diamond earrings, thin gold bangles, and a simple gold necklace.

Celebrity Style: Jessica Stam

French shoe brand Repetto celebrated the launch of its Repetto Foundation last night, and model Jessica Stam was among the fabulously dressed guests. Usually, the mix of metallic and ruffles has the potential to be a fashion tornado, but Jessica manages to look playful and chic in her Zsa Zsa frock. I'm glad she understood that the dress is loud enough to keep the rest of her look simple: A black patent clutch, black patent pumps, and antique drop earrings did the trick.

Doucette Duvall Doucette Duvall Zsa Zsa in Silver and Black - $737.00	Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Riley Almond Toe Pumps - Black Patent - $29.99
ASOS Premium Stone Encrusted Deco Drop Earring (+) - $34.67	Alfani "Genova" Patent Clutch - $68.00
Cocktail Ring - $28.00	Pashmina Scarf - $8.80

The Top 10 Essentials, According to Nina Garcia

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 07:00:22 -0800

I just wrapped up Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style and it was a truly lovely read. It would make a great gift for any woman looking to up her style ante. It's easy to read, and easy on the eyes, and is full of juicy fashion learnings.

Last week I talked about the 10 fashion essentials, according to Tim Gunn and you all added your two cents. Well, Nina, being a Project Runway judge and fashion director at ELLE, has an opinion on the 10 essentials as well. You will notice quite a difference between hers and Tim's - although some items make both lists, ie. LBD, white shirt, cashmere and trench. Nina's essentials are a bit more womanly and include luxe accessories; the gal certainly has taste. And, as she puts it: "Go a little crazy. Be a little dramatic. Have a lot of fun." Amen.

To see what Nina's 10 essentials are, read more

The Little Black Dress
A Classic Men's White Shirt
Cashmere Cardigan or Turtleneck
A Trench Coat
Denim
A Man's Classic Watch
Diamonds
Ballet Flats
A Classic High Heel Pump
A Great Bag
Bonus: A Dramatic Piece, Like a Cocktail Ring

Fashion Week Quickie: Colette x Gap Sets Up Shop in NYC

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:00:22 -0700

If you can't go to Paris, let Paris come to you. That was Gap's mentality when it decided to collaborate with renowned Paris boutique Colette to create a one-month installation in New York City.

The Colette x Gap concept store, adjacent to Gap's flagship store at 54th and 5th Avenue, will operate from Sept. 6 through Oct. 5 and will sell hard-to-find products from around the world. Products include Colette-designed Oakley sunglasses, limited-edition Gap tees with prints by Paris versus New York artists, Repetto BB shoes, and more. This is the first Colette store in the US, but hopefully it won't be the last. Oh, and you know I'll be sure to check it out when I'm in town for Fashion Week.

Online Sale Alert! End of Summer Sale at Zoe

FabSugar — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 16:30:33 -0700

ShopZoeOnline.com, as I've mentioned before, is like a condensed version of Net-a-Porter.com. So when they host a sale, it's bound to be good. Really good. Bags, shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, and more from covetable labels like Chloe, Marc Jacobs, Repetto, Milly and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

As for myself, I've been romanced by these vertiginous Kors Koko wedges, $93 (originally $185). They'd be so sweet with a nice white summery dress, and then would transition well into Fall with some textured tights. More wear for a lower price? Sold.
