Trend Alert: Big Blooms

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

It's time to scout your holiday dress of the season, and how can you resist the sweet smell of big blooms? Leighton sparkled in this blue, brush-painted rose silk bow front dress with patent belt by Prabal Gurung. If feminine and frilly is your thing, this is your lucky season. Oversize rosettes and flower motifs are not only in style, but quite classic, endlessly pretty. I say go dramatic or go home; I'm sure Leighton would second my emotion.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sayonara Brunch

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Tear, a good friend of mine is moving to Japan this week. I'll miss her dearly, but I know she's in for a great adventure. To send her off with good memories, a group of us took her to a favorite eatery, Lime, for a sayonara brunch. I asked you to help me put together a cunningly cute outfit that included a jumpsuit. Remember this was just a brunch, so nothing super fancy.

I started you off with this Foley + Corinna Sling Bag ($450) because it was one of my must-have pieces in the look book. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is casually sleek. I like how the belt adds a fun quirky touch.

See the rest.

Trend Alert: Bejeweled Necklines

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Bejeweled necklines just won't quit. When it looks this good, the staying power is strong. Emma Watson wore Proenza Schouler's bejeweled Resort dress to a Harry Potter photocall in London. The white and silver hues twinkle under her sweet smile. She even went the extra step and wore baby dangle earrings - just because your neckline is sparkling doesn't mean your ears can't too. Pretty enchanting.

One of my closest friends' birthday is falling on Thanksgiving. Since she'll be with her family for the yummy holiday, all our friends headed to a little bar last weekend to celebrate her special day. Your mission was to help her find an outfit with that extra birthday sparkle.

Fall Into Shopbop

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Out with the old, in with the new. Shopbop has slowly been making way for its fabulous Fall merchandise, and you'd better believe I've been checking daily to see which lucky pieces will make their way into my closet. I wish I could acquire it all, but since my budget won't allow for that, I've narrowed it down to 10 of my favorite must-have pieces. A little bit of plaid, a smidgen of leather, a dose of knit, and we've got an awesome autumn wardrobe to covet.

Trend Alert: Elongated Cardis

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Hmmm. It's warm outside, but it might be chilly where I have to run errands - and pick up my caffeine fix at The Coffee Bean. What to wear? Elongated cardis are the perfect solution when you need a whisper-light layer. And, they're cool. They have a nonchalant attitude that you'll have, too. Just ask Ashley Tisdale, hand-in-hand with her man. Isn't life grand?

Trend Alert: Ruffles and Pleats, Please

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:00:11 -0700

We've chatted about pleats. We've oogled over ruffles. What do you get when you combine the two textural forces? Something delectable. So yes, I'll take ruffles and pleats, please. And a side of Keira Knightley wearing both in her grape-tastic Erdem frock. The cherry on top? A smile from the British babe -c'mon Keira!

Celebrity Style: Leighton Meester

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester hosted a bash in Las Vegas, but ditched the usual Sin City glitter. Instead, she opted for classy, and a bit sassy, in her Catherine Malandrino colorblock dress. I'm digging the purple, teal, and black combo! Since her frock isn't available to the masses yet, an alternative is to re-create her look with some similar pieces. Attention: Do try this at home.
