Timeless Sibling Themes For Halloween: Roaring 20s

LilSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:00:00 PDT

These fabulous flapper costumes will have your kiddos doing the Charleston! Any girl who likes to glam up will go ga ga over the chance to pin curl her hair and wear the pearls, feathers and fringe that were the signature sassy style during the very social and artistic period of American history. Get your lil guy in on the roaring 20s garb by making him a bootleg bartender. A shiny vest, garter on the arm, slicked back hair and hand drawn handle bar mustache complete his suave ensemble. If you are pregnant and scheduled to pop close to October 31st, consider outfitting your infant in a sparkly onesie as a bottle of celebratory champagne!
What's cuter than one child in a costume? His or her sibling in a complementary one! After shuffling through some old albums, I came across photos of timeless attire for fellow parents to use as inspiration - no trip to the fabric store or thimble required! Check out themes for tots here!

Sneak Peek! Rachel Pally Fall/Holiday '08 Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 05:00:22 PDT

Rachel Pally's Fall/Holiday collection is right up my alley with the rich colors and interesting but subdued prints - many in her trademark jersey fabric. This collection is a tad more dressed up than usual and '20s-inspired. Standout pieces include a grey jersey jumpsuit, berry-colored dresses, tight mini skirts, and form-fitting, scoop neck tops. I can definitely see myself celebrating the holidays in this collection, feathered headbands and all!

Trend Alert: Fabulous Fringe

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:00:22 PDT

By no means am I saying George's new lady Sarah Larson is a trendsetter, but I adore her Giorgio Armani fringe LBD. It has definite flapper appeal without being overly costumey. But wait, there is another side of the fabulous fringe coin. Going native. Fringe can also evoke a tribal feel. And so, you have one fabulous trend, two different ways. Ain't life grand?

Runway shows and magazines are a great source for outfit inspiration, but every now and again, you find ideas from something unexpected.

Grammy Awards: Miley Cyrus

It would be nice if we could actually see the Celine dress Miley Cyrus is wearing tonight. Her extensions are so long, they practically cover the entire top half of the dress. From what I can tell, it's rather '20s party girl. The silver accessories work well, too. Do you love it or hate it?

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:22:22 PST

I have a Great Gatsby-esque cloche hat that I've been wearing all Winter. If you don't have one in your closet yet, try one out, like this Bloomingdales Wool Cloche Hat. It's similar to the one Diane Kruger wore recently at a New Year's party. Plus, the light color will allow you to wear it through Spring.

The current bidding price is at $14.99, and the auction ends on Thursday, Jan. 17. Good luck and happy bidding!

Found! Whitney Port's Beaded Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:00:22 PST

The flapper-style dress The Hills Whitney Port wore while frolicking the streets of Hollywood with her girlfriends looked very familiar when I first saw it. No wonder; it's Topshop's Heavy Beaded Dress ($79, originally $257). This is not just any old dress though. It's a knock-off of a Swarovski dress that sold for $10,000 for The Prince's Trust. If you're in the mood for the roaring '20s, this is the best and most affordable dress for you.

Trend Alert: The Roaring '20s

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:00:22 PST

Queen of the red carpet, Diane Kruger, continues to inspire. Of all the New Year's parties that went down, this looks like the most Fab one. Soho Grand's "Great Gatsby" was the place to be - beads, bubbly and babes for everyone! Who doesn't like to play dress up with the decades once in a while. You know I'm game. And so is Diane.

Buzz Blabber: The Great Gatsby Is Already Capturing Hearts

Maggie Pehanick — Sun, 27 May 2012 03:05:00 PDT

Between the glittery pictures and the trailer for The Great Gatsby, moviegoers are already looking forward to Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel. However, it was a big week for TV, too, and with finales popping off like champagne corks at one of Gatsby's soirees, everyone had something to say about the dramatic season enders of Glee and Revenge.

The Great Gatsby might be Baz's next hit

"Love Leo, I always envisioned him as Gatsby! The trailer looks great. The scenes, clothes - gosh, I love the roaring '20s! Can't wait until the movie comes out." - BlackKitty
"Amazing. Baz has done it again! Buzz, it might be said that the modern music may be used in the same way as done in Moulin Rouge - perhaps as an example of how revolutionary the music was of the time period, like architecture and entertainment?" - QueenB75
"This looks superb! Looks so much better than the old one. Looking forward to it." - chocolate79

To check out the reactions to this week's TV finales, just

Revenge's twisty finale had fans on the edge of their seats

"I loved it! Always suspected that the mom might be alive and I doubt that Victoria Grayson is dead. I really hope that the baby is not Jack's. Cant wait for next season." - nessa17
"It was amazing! I was tearing up when Fauxmanda showed up pregnant with Jack. Devastating on so many levels. Hope Victoria is still alive, I love her!" - pargie
"Excellent finish, I especially loved the final scenes with 'Seven Devils' playing on them. I have to admit I'm not too taken with the 'mother is alive' revelation, but I am curious as to what went on between Fauxmanda and Tanaka when he drove off with her. Agree that Victoria is probably still alive; I'm not sure that Revenge would be the same without her. And last but not least, brilliant acting from Emily VanCamp this episode!" - brushra

Everyone was tearing up at Glee's heartbreaking ending

"I cried my eyes out, really going to miss the original cast!" - dverrecchioxo
"I'm terrible with goodbyes in any form and I was a mess when Kurt started singing. I knew I had a long hour in front of me." - lekatvt
"I already miss Finchel!" - campbrad
