Fab Read: You Know You Want It, Style – Inspiration – Confidence

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:30:22 -0800

If Eric Daman looks familiar to you, it's because he was recently posing pretty with Leighton Meester at the launch of his book, You Know You Want It: Style – Inspiration – Confidence ($20).

The Gossip Girl costume designer knows a thing or two about fashion, after all, don't we all covet Blair, Serena, Vanessa, and Jenny's fabulous Upper East Side ensembles? Daman says the trick to pulling off any ensemble is owning it, and in this book, he teaches us how to do just that via confidence and pizazz. (Side note, I think confidence is a woman's personal journey, I don't believe it can be taught.)

“A catalyst for the book was that I wanted to send the message that fashion and style [don’t] have to be scary - [they] can be totally accessible,” said Daman. "I always say style is 20 percent fashion and 80 percent confidence. You have to own it.” The book also includes a forward by the queen bee herself, Leighton Meester.

Fab Site: Les Nouvelles

Les Nouvelles is not your average e-commerce destination. Yes, you can shop tons of adorable pieces by Camilla and Marc, Gryphon, Lover, and more, but you can do so much more. The style notes are super helpful, but my favorite part is playing your own stylist. There's a naked mannequin waiting for you to dress her up. I just created a super stylish outfit, now it's your turn!

Celeb Style: Jordana Brewster

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:30:22 -0700

Jordana Brewster stole the show last night at the ALMA Awards in LA in a bright citron maxi dress by Reem Acra. The almost neon hue looks amazing against her skin tone, and I adore her funky accessories. The stacked bangles and statement ring bring an exotic element to her ensemble, while a box clutch brings in sleekness. On another note, I'm loving the wavy hair.

Gossip Girl Fashion Quiz: Episode 1 "Reversals of Fortune"

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:00:08 -0700

It was a cruel, cruel Summer without our beloved Gossip Girl. But school is back in session and so is the fabulous fashion. The rules have changed a little this season; the fleet has graduated high school and will be headed to college soon. Blair is growing up, Serena is as bad as ever, and their styles are off-the-charts. When I wasn't entranced by the drama (and coveting all of the looks), I was taking copious fashion notes for this quiz. Are you ready? Once you're done here, be sure to check out Bella's beauty quiz and Geek's tech quiz.

Trend Alert: Drawstring Bags

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:06:03 -0700

There are two rules I abide by when shopping: function and fashion. That's why I'm so smitten with the resurgence of drawstring bags. This sporty, luxe attitude goes perfectly with today's casual cool style and even translates well when paired with tailored ensembles. Oh, on another note, I purchased a crackly gold metallic version of this Foley + Corinna Drawstring Bag ($445) a couple months ago - so rad.

Teen Choice Awards: Chace Crawford

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:37:59 -0700

Why, hello there Mr. Crawford. The gossip boy looks beyond dapper in a pair of slacks, button-up shirt, and tailored vest. Take note of how the young style prodigy chose varying shades of gray to mix up his monochrome look. Brown suede shoes, red watch, and mischievous grin is all he needs to shine.

Kate Moss Inks Multimillion Dollar Deal

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:10:55 -0700

Kate Moss is embarking on a multimillion dollar endeavor, thanks to Topshop's Sir Philip Green and Simon Cowell. The savvy Super has teamed up with the two money moguls to form a global entertainment company said to rival the likes of Disney. Kate's role? The force behind the fashion and music sectors of the unnamed brand.

"Kate has been signed as a figurehead and style setter for the fashion end of the business. She will also be involved in finding and signing new bands and promoting them," said a source. If things go right, Kate's earnings could spike up to $100 million. On a sadder note, Kate is supposedly over modeling. "Philip knows Kate has been looking for a way out of modeling for the past five years. She is bored silly with her own career," said a source.

Trend Alert: Funky Hemlines

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It was no surprise seeing Fabcon Vanessa Traina at Couture Week. In fact, she might have taught a couple stylephiles a lesson or two in fabulous, pared-down Parisian dressing. We spotted Vanessa at Givenchy's entrancing show wearing an awesome floral dress paired with debatable Givenchy cutout sandals. Take note of the frock's funky hemline. This uneven style is a nod to the old school handkerchief cut, but less gypsy and more glam.
