Trend Alert: Ice Florals

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:00:22 PST

What's the difference between ice florals and moody florals you ask? They're cooler. While I also like a burst of turquoise or coral during Winter months, sometimes black, white, and gray feel more serious. Emma Roberts' cute Miu Miu dress exhibits ice florals perfectly - with a happy note of yellow. Black tights and patent pumps further cool the complementary ensemb.

Which Vogue Front Row Shoe Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:00:22 PDT

When I saw this shoe lineup in the November Vogue, I thought, what a dope shoe editorial. Um, no. This was the front row at Juan Carlos Obando's Fashion Week Spring show. These are not models, these are real life fashion players, their covetable shoes, and their glossy shins. Not only was this issue, with Reese on the cover, a stand out, I simply couldn't stop staring at this candy lineup. Can you? I served up some shoe fare for breakfast yesterday, here's another taste. Let's pick favorites, shall we? For me, it's between the dramatic yellow Balenciagas and the spectacularly shiny Galliano blue corset sandals; I can't pick just one. But you have to!

On Our Radar: Christmas Stockings by Top Designers

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:00:22 PST

How cool would it be to get a Christmas stocking created by either Vera Wang, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Tuleh, Rodarte, or the boys from Heatherette? Well, starting Wednesday, December 19 at 6 p.m. PST, cool can become a reality. WWD has asked these top designers to create and stuff one-of-a-kind Christmas stockings for charity.

All of the proceeds from the five-day eBay auction will benefit Citymeals-On-Wheels, an organization that provides nutritious food and human company to homebound elderly New Yorkers in need. Some of the goodies to look forward to are a Marc Jacobs ribbon watch, Broadway tickets, a Tuleh ostrich clutch and a Heatherette tank top.

On Our Radar: Lord & Taylor Going Strong

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 03:22:22 PST

Everyone from Gap to Target to H&M have recruited major designers to create less expensive lines for their brand, so what's stopping Lord & Taylor? Nothing. The department store tapped Tuleh (left) designer Bryan Bradley to create an exclusive line called Bryan by Bryan Bradley in April and the feminine and affordable pieces have already hit stores.

Cynthia Steffe and Charles Nolan are also part of the Lord & Taylor family; Cynthia is designing for the accessories department, while Charles offers affordable and chic clothes. Rumor also has it that the next designer collaboration may be with Peter Som. Fingers and toes crossed.

Are you feeling the love? Valentine's Day is months away and yet designers were sending hearts and kisses down the Fall runways last February, so they were obviously feeling the love. If you're not shy of cheeky motifs, it doesn't get much sweeter than this. Just look at this vixen on the Tuleh catwalk, she's been kissed by the fashion bug. I heart fashion.

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Quirk

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:00:22 PDT

I have come to realize that the trends are really all over the map for Spring. Which is cool, because this means we'll have variety and designers are doing their own thing, whether the outcome is good or bad. One direction a lot of designers did go was quirky. Whether they went the art route, like at Malandrino, the mad route, like at Marc Jacobs, or stepped slightly out of their comfort zone, like at Rebecca Taylor, quirk is the way of the Spring.

Backstage Beauty: Tuleh

BellaSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:00:32 PDT

I love this natural-makeup trend we're seeing at all of the spring fashion shows. Even though the look is minimal, the different designers are interpreting it differently.

At Tuleh, the inspiration was glamorous Italian women. Polly Osmond of MAC explained of the Tuleh model, "She wears makeup but she doesn’t wear too much. She is the type of women you would see on a yacht."

For a rundown of the makeup used, plus tips on getting this hairstyle,

read more WWD reports that Jimmy Paul of Bumble and bumble chose a '70s-inspired style. “It should look like a girl on vacation in the south of France, who has just stepped off the beach and is getting ready for a big night out,” he said.

To create the look, he brushed out the hair, spraying Surf Spray to get that beachy look. He then set the hair with a wide curling iron to mimic the look of electric rollers. He then back-combed the hair at the top, brushing it back off the forehead.

For Polly's part, the makeup used a lot of light, nude colors.
Face: Face and Body Foundation was applied using #217 Small Brush for full, but sheer coverage. Fancy Ray and Cheery Blushcremes were used to color the cheeks and Naked Lunch Eye Shadow was applied to cheek bones for illumination.
Eyes: M∙A∙C Eye Shadow in Naked Lunch was applied to the lid and brow bone. Taupe Eye Shadow was applied to crease using M∙A∙C #224 for definition and bottom water line was colored with Fascinating Eye Kohl Pencil to brighten. Plush Lash Mascara in Black was used to coat the lashes.
Lips: Subcultured Lip Pencil was mixed with Revealing Lipgloss and then toned down with a M∙A∙C #222 Brush and a bit of concealer. Source
