The Final Countdown: A Fabby Halloween Roundup!

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I hate the saying, "All good things come to an end." Halloween is tomorrow - no, it's eternal (like vampires). Luckily, in the world of fashion, every day can be spent "dressing up." Now, it may not be as a Wild Thing, Sassy Sorceress, Cirque du Freak, or Anna Wintour, but it's your journey - you have my permission to dress to impress every day, even if it's extreme. Lady Gaga, anyone? We much enjoyed bringing you costume ideas all month, we hope they helped! Relax, there's still time to whip something together. Here's a flip through all our ideas. I already have two friends who decided on the cute funkiness of The Flintstones, I think that was the winner for '09. Happy Hallo!

Fashion Week Quickie: Rebecca Taylor's Sweet City Girl

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:00:22 -0700

New York Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow and yours truly will be leaving on a jet plane, heading into the fashion frazzle. But if the Spring collections are as pretty as Rebecca Tayor's promises to be, it's shouldn't be too fretful.

For Spring, the Fab fave designer is inspired by "urban femininity." Expect to see skyscraper-printed sandals and architectural stretch dresses softened by corseted bustiers and flippy, pull-on printed skirts. Tiny leather skirts, strong shoulders, and a tight-waisted silhouette modernize the collection. Always keen on color, big-apple reds, shocking pinks, electric blues, and retro jades contrast with desert tans and soft, peachy oranges. Sounds delicious.

2009 Fall New York Fashion Week: A Few Fab Words With . . . Privileged Star Joanna Garcia at BCBG

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:00:22 -0800

I know you all love some BCBG, and guess who does too? Privileged star Joanna Garcia. I chatted with her front row at the show, and a new girl crush started to develop. Before I take you into the mind of Joanna - the clothes. They were architectural and fluid, hard and soft. Colors ranged from ivory to dusty wineberry to teal to steel gray. BCBG focused on the future and constructivism. I'll pass on the cocoon-like coats, but the fluid dresses always make me melt. Fabrics were diverse: wool jacquard, silk, micro jersey, and velvet. The shibori-dyed items piqued my interest, delivering an exotic side of BCBG. What really made the clothes shine, though, were the hypnotizing gold and pewter legging tights; now those were future chic.

Here's what Joanna and I chatted about:

We have a website called CelebStyle.com where we cover your Privileged wardrobe.

"Yeah, I know! It's so great. The girls have much more fun stuff on there, but I definitely love looking at all that stuff; I think it's such a great website."

Can you talk about your wardrobe on the show?

"My wardrobe is pretty basic. Cute tops, and sweaters, and jeans, stuff like that. Very much my everyday style. The other girls have a lot more fun. I actually helped design an original dress for our season finale. It took three fittings, and I was like 'This is for the birds! This is a lot of work,' so I leave the high fashion to the other girls. It was absolutely beautiful though. It was made for me, and I’ve never had that before, except my prom dress when I was 17 and it didn't turn out as nice."

To read the rest and to see more from the BCBG runway, read more.

Is this your first Fashion Week?

"This is my first New York Fashion Week. I've been to LA Fashion Week. This is very exciting. This is my first show – I'm only going to two – I'm flying back to LA tomorrow. It's very dramatic. I'm going to Rag & Bone, I'm a big fan. But I wear BCBG more than anything."

Who are some of your other favorite designers right now?

"I've always been a Marc Jacobs fan. And I love Stella McCartney, her stuff is off the charts. Some of the dresses from Blumarine - I got to wear one for the Golden Globes - they were amazing. I just pick and choose; anything that's beautiful and comfortable and vibrant colors I am so in love with."

And you're a redhead so you look great in bold colors.

"It's kind of amazing. I was a blonde my whole life until Privileged, and once I became a redhead I had no idea what I was getting into; I don’t think I'll ever go back."

Fab Flash: Marc Jacobs to Tie the Knot

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Update: Marc and Lorenzo are, in fact engaged! The couple will make a public announcement tomorrow. Congrats!

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone have been dating for a while now so it's only natural to wonder when, or if, the two will wed. After his successful Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion week, Marc proclaimed to the press that he was in love and inspired. When asked if a wedding was on the horizon, Martone replied stating, "It's really early to share, but our relationship is getting stronger and more mature. And with that, some things might happen."

If a wedding were to take place, we would imagine only the best for Jacobs and his beau. Martone, hypothetically speaking, of course, envisions a ceremony in St. Barth's. "We experienced a really great vacation in St. Barth's recently," said Martone. "It was during the Winter in December. It was super warm, people were relaxed, tanned, and we were having an amazing time with our friends. So why not? Maybe a New Year's Eve wedding in St. Barth's would be really fun." The date could be closer than we think. The love birds are currently on vacation in Brazil where Jacobs will be meeting Martone's mother for the first time. Aw.

Lauren Conrad Prefers Heels to Flats and Karl to Marc (!)

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:00:02 -0700

After compiling over 20 million of your votes, the 2nd annual PopSugar 100 is finally here! To help celebrate tomorrow's announcement of the PopSugar 100, and her debut on the list, we're bringing you this exclusive interview with Lauren Conrad!

It's been a huge year for LC; between her friendships, fashion line, and hit TV show, this starlet is bigger and better than ever. We had a chance to catch up with her and talk about love, happiness, food, fitness and just about everything else. Check out our interviews across the network, and be sure to be back tomorrow to see where she lands and see the rest of the list.

The first time Fab came face to face with the reality darling was at LA Fashion Week back in October, where only a few words were exchanged. Next, we interviewed her shortly on the pink carpet at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. This time LC gets a bit more up close and personal about her busy life, and the highlight of her past busy year, starting her clothing line.

We know you have a ton of projects going on right now. What does a typical day look like for you?

They are all kind of different; this week is crazy because we have a photo shoot every single day. Except Wednesday, I am not the model, I’m shooting my resort look book and I have to be there all day, so those are actually even longer. It's almost more work when you are not the model; it's like an 11 or 12-hour day. Normally we film a few days out of the week and other days we are kind of doing other stuff. We keep pretty busy.

To read more of our chat and to see a gallery of photos, read more

Have you ever come across anyone in all of your nights out that made you really starstruck? Any fun celebrities?

Actually yeah, I met Marc Jacobs when we were filming and I got so nervous when I saw him that I didn’t really know what to do. I was trying to act cool, but I didn’t even stand up to shake his hand. I actually came off a little bit too cold, like I didn’t really care and I felt kind of bad. I get really starstruck over really random people and designers.

Do you have any Summer must have items?

Sunscreen. I use a lot less of everything during the Summer - less makeup and almost no hair products. Summer is a little more natural I feel like. I think good bikinis because it's Summer!

Are you going to be at New York Fashion Week in September? Working or for fun?

Yeah, right now I am planning on it, but I never know for sure. Kelly [Cutrone] hasn’t told us whether we are working yet or not. I will either have to go out with Kelly or I will just go out to see some of the shows.

Do you prefer bags or shoes?

Oh, shoes!

Heels or flats?

Heels.

Karl or Marc?

Karl!

High fashion or low fashion?

High fashion.

New and Improved ShopStyle Sale Alerts (Yay)

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

In a fashion recession, shopping smart is the way to survive. I normally try to shop smart, but with the holidays around the corner and money top of mind, it's great to have some survival tools.

I told you about SaleHabit.com, a site that allows you to only search the best of the best sales right now. But here's another savvy tool. The ShopStyle we all know and love has kicked sale alerts into high gear allowing you to choose your favorites brands and items and be emailed when they go on sale. You receive easy emails when the chosen items are reduced and you can happily shop from there. I am currently monitoring a few of my favorite brands - Alexander Wang, J.Crew and Marc by Marc Jacobs - and can't wait to see what turns up on sale tomorrow, and the day after that! Happy sale shopping.
