Love It or Hate it? Rosette Accents

CasaSugar — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:00:00 PDT

I've noticed a lot of rosette accents on pillows and handbags lately. While a rosette throw pillow is certainly a cute way to repurpose an old bridesmaid's dress, I can't say it's a trend I can handle too much of. When it comes to girlish décor, I'll get behind a bit of pink and some pale green in small doses, but too many three-dimensional florals in my midst and I'll go running for the hills. How do you feel about rosette accents? Yea or nay?

Celebrity Style: Audrina Patridge

The Cloverfield premiere in LA looked more like a party for The Hills. Audrina Patridge was among the more conservatively dressed cast members present, and she looked simple and cute in her green Phillip Lim minidress. Check out the darling swirl appliqués around the neck. To dazzle up her look a bit, I gave her a leopard clutch and a funky bracelet.

Fab Flash: Gucci Ups Its UNICEF Holiday Campaign

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:30:22 PDT

Every year, Gucci prepares a UNICEF holiday campaign, but this year, the company is increasing its efforts. First, it raised its contribution to UNICEF by 5 percent; consequently, 25 percent of the revenues from the sale of seasonal gifts will go to helping the organization.

Another addition is a special edition Gucci for UNICEF bag, which is the traditional Indy canvas bag with a special rosette design. The small version costs $1,990, while the big one is $2,350. Inside the bag is a card explaining to the buyer that she will be supporting the health of an orphan for a full year. To chat more about UNICEF, visit the Teamsugar group created by lady_coco!

The rest of the gifts and accessories will be on sale in over 200 Gucci boutiques from November 14 through December 31st. Happy holidays!

Celebrity Style: Kate Bosworth

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 11:00:22 PDT

Kate Bosworth worked the rosettes in her Alice + Olivia dress while dining out with her boyfriend at Il Sole restaurant in LA. Another trend she was working was leggings. I would have preferred her bare-legged in this case because the dress is pretty enough to stand on its own. Despite the fact that the leggings deflower the look, she still manages to look fresh and youthful.

Alice + Olivia Rosette Tube dress, $297	Banana Republic Opaque footless tights, $17
Steve Madden Black Suede Pump, on sale for $25 (originally $100)	Carlos Falchi Large Metallic Python Envelope Clutch, $1,495
18kt Gold Over Sterling Silver Thin Cable Chain Necklace, $9	Lisa Stewart 5 Stone Stackable Ring, $92

Met Gala: Salma Hayek

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 17:26:48 PDT

When you think of sensual, Salma Hayek likely comes to mind, and undoubtedly her Alexander McQueen look will be remembered for years to come thanks to its curve-hugging design. Salma's peach-toned gown features a one-shoulder sweetheart neckline, draping into a rosette pattern at the waistline. And if that wasn't sexy enough, she completes her ensemble with a fresh-faced makeup palette and wow-factor waves. Do you think Salma's look is hot?

Met Gala: Mia Wasikowska

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 16:52:09 PDT

Miss Alice in Wonderland herself opted for the rather un-costumey color of black for the 2011 Met Gala. But, in this case, the details are all in the embellishments: from the voluminous skirt, to the plunging rosette v-neck, to the patent pumps, Mia's black dress is anything but boring. What's also of note is her old Hollywood wavy hairdo - with visible roots, which make it more modern. Overall, are you loving?Vote on all of our Met Gala polls here!

2011 Oscars: Anne Hathaway

FabSugar — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:07:48 PST

Woman of the hour, Miss Oscar host herself, Anne Hathaway walked the red carpet at the 2011 Oscars in a strapless, regally red, full-length Valentino dress. What looked like an otherwise basic gown was adorned with rosettes to add both drama and pizazz. A bright, sparkly necklace and red lips to match the look finished it off. Are you loving Anne or are you over it?
