This Week's Fab Favorite: Paz de la Huerta

FabSugar — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Sometimes all it takes is a killer pair of shoes. You know this. A rockin' bod and an unexpected slit help, too. It's all in the details with this one . . . After a week of seeing enviable gowns and glamour at the Cannes Film Festival, there's something fresh and perfect about actress Paz de la Huerta's (not so) minimal look. Earth tones never looked so sexy, and little flesh is exposed here. But you can still see Paz's curves and slender stems. But let's talk about those exquisite black tribal sandals! No info on the genius who designed them yet (anyone know?), but they are little pieces of art. With shoes like that, paring everything else down is key. Paz was promoting her film Enter the Void and she has my undivided attention. P.S. Honorable mention of the week is Brad Pitt in pink Tom Ford - totally pulls it off.

Trend Alert: Bag It Bohemian Style

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Another wild trend for Spring in the realm of Luxotica is bohemian bags. These embellished handbags will instantly perk up any ensemble with their hippie-meets-tribal aesthetic. I like how they give off an ethnic vibe without going over the top, especially when paired with a neutral palette. This Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag ($1,495) is a seamless balance between funky and fabulous. I can already see myself pairing this bag with cut-off shorts, a white tee, and chunky platform sandals . . .

Trend Alert: A Tribe Called Kate

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Rarely do we see Lady Kate in prints, but isn't it her multifarious style we all know and love? Affirmative. Her vintage-looking printed turtleneck is a testament to a tribe called Kate. While this top may look Marcia Brady on the hanger, make it a focal point by sexing it up and cooling it down with denim shorties and Prada sunnies. Vivid prints stand on their own, so keep the rest mellow. Risk taking at its best, live a little fashion folks.

Trend Alert: Where the Wild Bags Are

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:00:22 -0700

It's August. Shed your style and go wild. It's time to wear all your flesh flattering clothes - it's now or never! Sorry for the dramatics, but these handbags have me where the wild bags are. From flea market finds to lazy totes to full on luxotica, wearing an ethnic-inspired handbag feels, and looks, so right. Right? Camila Alves knows how to work the wild bag here at her Muxo handbags debut, while Lake and Rachel look like they picked theirs up along some surfin' safari. Where will you wear your wild bag?

The Look For Less: Oscar de la Renta African Print Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

This Oscar de la Renta African Print Dress ($1,225, originally $2,450) would be a fabulous piece to add to my collection of dresses. Accessorizing would be loads of fun, but runway looks come at a hefty price, and even at 50 percent off, I cannot fathom forking over the bills for this fun frock.

To see the look for less, read more.

This Asos Woodblock Print Dress ($76) gives off the same ethnic vibe without the out-of-this-world price. The deeper scoop neck compliments a wider range of figures, including mine, and it also has pockets!

Trend Alert: Fabulous Fringe

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:00:22 -0700

By no means am I saying George's new lady Sarah Larson is a trendsetter, but I adore her Giorgio Armani fringe LBD. It has definite flapper appeal without being overly costumey. But wait, there is another side of the fabulous fringe coin. Going native. Fringe can also evoke a tribal feel. And so, you have one fabulous trend, two different ways. Ain't life grand?
