I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

After a long and painful wait, Gossip Girl is back! Little J seems to be ascending the ranks of the hierarchy, or at least trying her darndest to, and her wardrobe is following behind. Jenny spruced up her school garb with nothing less than a Valentino coat, Tahari blouse, Moschino heels, and an eye-popping Valentino bag. Whew! And she still felt compelled to nick a Valentino gown? Tsk, tsk. Of course, no Gossip Girl fashion fix could be complete without a stunning array of hosiery and headbands. Are you excited as we are about the return of these Upper East Siders and their colorful confections?

Trend Alert: Tweed

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:00:22 -0800

When the weather turns it automagically puts me in the mood for tweed. This classic fabric is resilient and toastie - and, regardless to what you may think, it can be sexed up.

To the left is the Salvatore Ferragamo Fall collection and those tweed pants are powerful stuff. You may not have plumage laying around for such an exotic top, but show a little decolletage, hike yourself up in heels and top it of with some crimson lip rouge. Katherine Hepburn: are you in there?

Trend Alert: Military-Inspired Coats

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Recently celebs have been marching the streets in strong, structured military-inspired coats. It's obvious why. These statements in outerwear provide a sort of fashion armor; you can take on the big bag world in a determined jacket with regal flair such as brass buttons and charismatic collars. I adore the way Sienna wears hers below - who cares what she's wearing underneath it, her fashion armor and her hairy tail-wagging troops are ready for battle. Let the fashion face off begin.

Celebrity Style: Milla Jovovich

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 17:02:22 -0700

It's a known fact that many models have style. These are, after all, the gals who get to wear the collections first, have the bodies to wear even the slimmest cut, travel the world for inspiration and make very good money for smiling and walking - why do we not hate these girls again? Milla Jovovich has been on the scene a while now and has proven she can do more than just walk and smile; she can sing, act and design, and yet, I can't hate her. Here she is at the Mango event we wrote about earlier. Though she is wearing a frock from the Mango collection, found by Mysterious ways, I thought this look was easy Mod and breezy chic. You don't need much else but a lovely smile when you have ladylike black and white going on.

On Our Radar: Saks's New Department Is Made For the Working Woman

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Saks knows wearing the latest five-inch platforms to your job isn't the most work-appropriate. That's why they've come up with a new department, dubbed WEAR, specifically catering to the stylish working woman. It's filled with hip, everyday clothes boasting a load of popular contemporary brands such as Elie Tahari, Tory Burch, M Missoni, and DKNY, to name a few.

“There has been an underserved market of style-conscious working women, maturing contemporary customers, and women who pay attention to fashion and want to integrate it into their lives in a sophisticated way,” said Joseph Boitano of Saks. Think of it as runway meets real life. Awesome. Keep your eyes peeled for its Spring debut across the country!

A Look Fit for Jude Law

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 13:09:13 -0700

In light of the recent news about Britney's "manny" going to work for Jude Law, I couldn't help but laugh today when I stumbled upon this outfit by Elie Tahari.

What does this cute, feminine ensemble have to do with Jude Law, you ask? Why, because it's comprised of the Sadie Blouse and Sienna Pants, available for $298 and $248 here. Somehow, in one ensemble, Tahari has managed to reference both Jude's ex Sadie Frost and his on-again-off-again flame Sienna Miller. Considering Jude has been known to cheat with his nanny, perhaps this is the perfect look for his new "manny."

Kristen Bell sure has been out on the town a lot lately! She was dressed in a gorgeous camel coat when she arrived at the opening of the new Elie Tahari boutique in Beverly Hills last night, then took it off to reveal a pretty embellished gray top underneath. I have to give it to her, if she's going to show up everywhere, at least she does it with a string of fashion hits!

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

Nicky Hilton arrived at the OP campaign launch in Hollywood emitting a California cool vibe in a tie-dye skirt from Charley 5.0, white tank, and navy blazer. The juxtaposition between beach and chic is perfect for the fun event and I like how she accessorized with white patent peep-toe sandals, funky studded bracelets, and stacked rings. Her handbag of choice? Chanel, of course. I never thought to pair tie-dye with tailored separates - thanks for the tip Nicky!
