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?

Fabworthy: Shop By Your Favorite Decade

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:00:22 PST

Saks Fifth Avenue is now letting you live vicariously through your favorite style icons of decades past. If like me, you wish you experienced the roaring '20s, let's stock up on fun flapper items, much like The Great Gatsby characters. Prefer to dress like Audrey Hepburn? Then visit the '60s section. Madonna lovers can revel in acid bright in the '80s department, while Kate Moss wannabes can sift through '90s-inspired clothes. Find your favorite decade and shop accordingly!

Fabworthy: Mod Girl Mini Mirrors

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:00:22 PST

Runway shows and magazines are a great source for outfit inspiration, but every now and again, you find ideas from something unexpected. Recently I've been admiring The Great Gatsby style, so these Mod Girl Mini Mirrors ($7) immediately spoke to me. They are the perfect way to show the world my adoration for this trend.

Grammy Awards: Miley Cyrus

FabSugar — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:36:16 PST

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.
