Celeb Style: Thandie Newton

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

Prabal Gurung seems to be a Hollywood favorite as of late. Leighton Meester was spotted donning his big blooms just the other day, and now, Thandie Newton has jumped on the fashion bandwagon. The effervescent actress emoted maximum sophistication in Prabal's black-and-white floral frock at the 2012 movie premiere in LA yesterday. I love the chic color palette, and how she accessorized with sleek black suede Brian Atwood pumps and matte red lips. Now that's classic Hollywood beauty.

Strapless Floral Dress with Bow - $178.00	Casadei Suede and Satin Platform Pump - $675.00
Revlon Matte Lipstick - $7.99	Kate Spade El Morocco Paola Clutch - $475.00

Fab Body Guide: Flexees Easy Up Firm Control Waist Nipper

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

With a couple of my friends getting married this year, I've been hearing a lot of talk about staying in shape. Naturally, the brides-to-be want to look svelte for the big day. But the truth is, the majority of them are being lazy. Gasp! An easier solution, since time is not on their side, is this Flexees Easy Up Firm Control Waist Nipper ($23, originally $34). If your tummy is your problem area, I suggest investing in it. The side boning gives the illusion of an hourglass figure, while the smooth fabric eliminates bunching and bulges. It also comes in nude for those wearing the white dress.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

You must have noticed the tweed rage these days. Everyone is wearing it in some form. I loved Olivia Palermo's tweed H&M shorts so much, I got the matching jacket recently. While most tweed jackets are cropped, this Vintage Gray Stone Tweed Coat, size small, is equally chic. It looks good open and closed, and the black piping and big buttons are super cute. Especially if you live in cold climate, I suggest bundling up with this tweed-tastic piece.

The current bidding price is $10.99 and the auction ends on Thursday, October 22. Good luck and happy bidding!

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Some girls are serious, but this girl just wants to have fun! AlphaBetaChic is wearing the most whimsically adorable outfit, isn't she? I love her black and white striped top and the big red bow. The black circle skirt adds further fun, as do her heart-shaped sunnies. I can see this outfit working for a lighthearted party or even Halloween.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Windsor
Skirt: Betsey Johnson
Shoes: River Island

Congrats to AlphaBetaChic!

Fab Exclusive! Rachel Roy Talks Fashion Week, Skulls, and Spring Collection For Macy's

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Even though she was still recuperating from showing her namesake collection at New York Fashion Week a week prior, Rachel Roy continued to make us swoon with her beautiful brown eyes and fashion talk at the Macy's event. Now that you got the lowdown on Rachel's current collection for Macy's, let's talk about her upcoming Spring collection. We found out tie-dye, florescent colors, and fun prints will be present, along with an array of silky trench dresses. While speaking to her, we couldn't stop ogling the cute trench dress and snazzy, stacked skull bracelets she had on. Read on to hear all about it . . .

I saw your show last week in NYC, it was beautiful.

"Oh you were? Everything is such a blur. I was like whose show - did I have a show?"

I know. Everyone's like "How's Fashion Week?" I'm like, "Uhhhh, still recovering."

"I know, and I hate that because I love fashion and I want to appreciate every single second of it, but it becomes so emotionally draining."

So are you able to actually go to anyone's shows?

"No. I go to friends. Like Sophie Theallet is a dear, dear friend of mine and I love her. So, I went to hers and it was after mine. Also Ralph Rucci, I adore him. I think he just cuts and tailors like no other in America. His show was the day before mine, but I went because I adore him and I give him so much respect. But other than that, really good friends of mine. It can be a lot, so I just went to those two."

So what can we expect for Spring?

"That's a good question. So for Spring, it's just stuff I love. I love tie-dye."

Oooh, California influences!

"Yup, California! So I'm doing tie-dye jersey and tie-dye suede. I also have some florescent colors and prints. I'm a big print girl and I love mixing prints in an odd way."

To read more about Rachel's Spring collection and her take on skulls, read more.

Is the trench dress you have on from the collection?

"Yes, this will be available in Spring and will come in black and in khaki."

And I have to ask, who is this jewelry by with the little skulls?

"This is all me. It's available in November. This [skull] was my muse for jewelry. So I put him on everything. And you know how people say the evil eye brings good luck? I wanted to kind of change the idea that skulls aren't bringing you bad luck. Here, they're giving you good luck."

Yeah, like with the Day of the Dead.

"I really like that. It's my way of bringing good energy, ancient spirits. I don't want to put too much heavy stuff on these kids, but it's my little way of bringing them what I can."

Also, skulls are just cool.

"They can take it that way - I'll just go levitate over there (laughs)."

Fab Finding Follow-Up: PartySugar's Birthday!

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

A couple weeks ago, PartySugar turned the big 2-8. To celebrate her big day, she hosted an outdoor dinner with a group of her closest friends. The delicious menu was set, the linens were arranged, and all she needed was an amazing dress. I asked you to help put together a flirty and fresh outfit for her big day - nothing sexy, the dinner was hosted at her grandpa's house.

I started you off with these House of Harlow Stacked Bangles ($55) because PartySugar adores the mixed-metal combo. Let's see your creations!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, incorporates cool colors. I like how she paired a cobalt dress with a perforated green clutch.

See the rest.
