Trend Alert: Orange Crush

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:00:06 -0700

Remember when I said orange was going to be a big color for Spring? Scratch that. Orange has arrived. These ladies are fashion forward and already sporting the uplifting hue. This is also proof that different oranges work for different skin tones and hair colors - you just need to find the right one for you. And this is the exact time of the year to go searching, as the Fall leaves change color and pumpkin patches abound.

Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.

Helmut Lang Powder-Print Dress - $520.00	Apt. 9® Opaque Microfiber Control-Top Tights - $10.00
Steven By Steve Madden Women's Brinda Ankle Boot - $179.95	Jimmy Choo 'Ubai' Snake Embossed Leather Clutch - $595.00
Alexis Bittar 'Silver Dust' Lucite® Ring - $175.00

Trend Alert: Moto Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Get ready to rev up your denim collection. Moto jeans are the latest incarnation, and they're both sassy and sporty. We've seen motorcycle jackets and vests, but cross-stitches and patches on a slick pair of jeans are hard to resist.

My favorite, affordable pick is by Recession Denim - these dark denim Moto jeans with ribbed knit patches are statement jeans if I ever saw them. And, they're under $100. Temper them with a girlie ruffled top or cuddly soft knits - ready, set, moto!

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat - genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties. I wish my former college ensembles were this hot . . .

Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Celeb Style: Michelle Monaghan

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:15:22 -0700

Michelle Monaghan is a pro at creating simple, yet stunning, outfits. The actress attended the premiere of The Trucker in NYC over the weekend looking subtly shimmery in a monochromatic ensemble. Her sleek, ivory Calvin Klein silk blazer tempers her metallic crinkled dress, and I love how her gray cutout pumps inject an architectural appeal.

Signature Stretch Sateen Collection: Fitted Blazer - $69.00	Nicole Miller silver lurex ruched detail sleeveless dress - $165.00
Barbara Bui - $840.00	Katherine Fleming Jane Python Clutch - Grey - $1,300.00
Purple Stone Ring - $6.00	Crystal Stud Earrings - $40.00

The Bag To Have: Temperley 'Empire' Bag

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:00:12 -0700

Alice Temperley may be designing a collection for Target but that doesn't mean she doesn't tend to her high-end clients as well.

This Temperley 'Empire' Bag, $1,775, is the perfect way to welcome Fall with open arms. It's part of the label's Autumn/Winter '07/'08 accessories collection and it has all the right features for a Bag to Have. It can act as a shoulder bag or tote, has two handy pockets in front and the signature turn lock. What I admire most is the contrasting colors as well as the antique gold metal framing. And unlike many overly logoed purses out there, it's under the radar, which makes it more mysteriously appealing.

Celeb Style: Kristin Cavallari

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:30:22 -0700

Just this morning I asked if you were going to wear lace this season. If you're on the fence, look to Kristin Cavallari and her fresh take while hosting the UNITE Unveiled: Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion in LA. Her nude lace top is tempered by a slim black leather pencil skirt and neutral accessories. If you look closely, she's wearing a nude bra underneath, but it perfectly blends, revealing just enough. Exotic Paolo Costagli gold jewelry makes for a gilded-glam look. Oh, if you want something juicier, try to guess how much each Hills cast member makes.

Josie Natori Rose Parfait Tank - $160.00	Leather Pencil Skirt - $160.00
Moos - $90.00	Leaf Shower Earrings - $4.80
Faceted Cuff - $4.80	Kate landry satin python foldover clutch - $119.00

Trend Alert: Luscious Leather Vests

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:50:22 -0700

If you're in need of a quick fashion fix, look to Byrdie Bell for inspiration. The stylista looks ravishing yet rad in her luscious leather vest. It not only kept her cozy, but it also tempered the girly print on her maxi dress. If you're looking to add an extra spark of bad to your 'fit, this is how you do it.

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: BCBG Max Azria

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:00:08 -0700

For BCBG Spring '10, Max Azria sent his models down the runway in a bevy of embellished, printed, and ruched frocks. Shoulders bordered on the sharp side, oozing a modern edge, while vibrant hues of coral, blue, and purple provided sensational sensory overload. Also, note how Azria experimented with hemlines, supplying us with short minis, funky hemlines, and floor-sweeping maxis - something for everyone. My favorite piece? This to-die mesh flesh coral creation. The juicy hue and intricate detailing are magnificent.

To tone down the sexy, Azria also made fluid jersey dresses and tempered short hemlines with high necklines. And while most ruching can look overly done, the designer added a tailored edge for maximum sophistication.
