I Want This Wardrobe: Victory Ford, Lipstick Jungle

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Victory is usually bubbly and smiley, but you know she's down to business here. Down to business looking adorably monochrome. The long cardigan belted over a ruffled dress is a brilliant transitional outfit - both seasonally and from day to night. And hues of blues always feel right. This season's gray bootie is a modern shoe match, and moody jewels lend sultry sparkle.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Mother's Day Brunch

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last Sunday, mom and I spent some good old quality time together. We enjoyed a nice outdoor brunch and I wanted my look to get her motherly stamp of approval. I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

I started you off with a pair of Chloe Filao Sunglasses ($330) because I love the purple and black combo and they'd keep the sun out of my eyes while I enjoyed brunch with mommie. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by daddio49 had me all ruffled up, but in a good way. The contrast between the bright blue dress and neutral pink shoes is Fab and mommie approved.

Look #2, created by northbound711 is retro casual. The combination of the white jeans and graphic top evokes an uptown-hippie vibe.

Trend Alert: Black Eyelet

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Eyelets have taken on a new color - black. The traditional eyelet has been associated with Raggedy Anne dowdiness and hot Summer days but has since gone way of the dark side; evoking a sexier, mature look. See Victoria Beckham wearing a flirty, black eyelet Milly dress. Sidenote: Milly, really? Cool Posh.

Trend Alert: Peek-a-Boo You

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

I have a tendency to seriously cover up when the weather is gelid. In an effort to let our skin breathe, I say peek-a-boo you. Spring will be all about sensuality so get a jumpstart with some sexy cut outs, sheer fabrics and keyhole necklines. I know it's cold outside, but don't we always want to look hot?

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 13:45:44 -0700

Rachel B. is looking cute as usual in this casual outfit. Although her pants could fit her a bit better, ie. an ideal floor-skimming length, her signature layering complements her sweet style. I want to preface this by saying, no, I did not find her exact green wedges but once you see the price tag for her handbag you'll appreciate the price of the alternative green pumps I found!

It seems like everyone is coming out with black turtleneck dresses for fall, and this look really works on almost everyone.

Welcome to the final installment of our week-long look at coat trends for Fall 2006. (To read yesterday's installment, click here.) Today’s spotlight: trench coats.
