Has an Internet Order Ever Been Canceled on You?

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I am currently mad at both Barneys and Opening Ceremony for canceling a pair of Miu Miu sequin pumps and an Alexander Wang leather jacket on me. I got an email confirmation, then hours letter a retraction. Is someone trying to tell me something?

Ladies in Oscar Red

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:00:22 -0800

I love seeing red on the Oscars red carpet. And I'm not alone: Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, and Kate Winslet have all arrived in past years with a little fire in their eyes . . . and on their dresses. Catherine Zeta-Jones likes wearing red so much, she's a double-offender - her crimson years were 1999 and 2004. Perhaps we'll have a new lady in red come next Sunday, but in the meantime, let's look to the past for inspiration, kicking it off with Lucy Liu looking Fab in Versace.

Spring 2008 Couture: Valentino

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:03:16 -0800

After 45 years of dressing women impeccably, Valentino said his last goodbyes yesterday with one final couture collection.

The exit was consummately Valentino. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, and newly-appointed Valentino designer Alessandra Facchinetti witnessed a parade of bright bubble coats, tiered gowns, floral prints and ladylike suiting. The finale was the ultimate symbol of Val's contribution to fashion: the red dress. A stream of models wearing that one red gown filed out at the end, sending the retiring designer off in style, as no other finale could. Farewell, Valentino!

A Fabby Halloween: Mrs. Mia Wallace

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:00:22 -0700

Her name is Mrs. Mia Wallace. She has a penchant for vanilla milkshakes, winning dance competitions, and a certain white powder. Since 1994, when Uma Thurman played the iconic character in Pulp Fiction, hundreds of Halloween costumes have channeled Mrs. Mia. The look is easy: all you need is a straight-banged black wig, a white button-down, black bra, and cropped black pants. Apply a little red lipstick, and Chanel Vamp nail polish is a must - Mia did launch the color into smash-hit popularity, after all.

Don't forget, Mrs. Mia aced the dance competition with John Travolta's character Vince at the 50s-themed restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's, so you'll need some groovy moves. Check out the movie clip I added below for inspiration. And if you end up talking to someone at a Halloween party you don't really want to be stuck with, you can thank the drug-addled Mrs. Mia for your exit quote: "I have to go powder my nose."

Battle of the Valentino: Hurley vs. Thurman

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:21:47 -0700

How romantic both Elizabeth and Uma look in their lace frocks. This is a tough one because both looks are super flattering. I am leaning towards Elizabeth because Uma's ruffles are a tad too distracting. You?

Uma Thurman's Fabulous Super Ex-Girlfriend Sunglasses

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 09:46:57 -0700

Uma's butterfly shaped plastic sunglasses in "My SuperEx Girlfriend" are FABulous! Some of you have been writing in wondering who makes them and where they can be purchased.

To find out, read more

Voila, . . . They are made by Marc Jacobs, and you can buy them here for $290. They are available in black with a brown grey lens and tortoise with a dark brown lens. Sorry guys, I've just researched the glasses. The chainsaw is not a fashion accessory I really support.

The Bag to Have: Nina Ricci Pony Bag

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

We all know Nina Ricci delivers amazing clothes but did you know the fashion house also creates comparable handbags? Take for instance this divine Nina Ricci Pony Bag ($2,800) from the new Ondine line. OK, with the exception of celebs - Rihanna was spotted donning the same exact style and Uma Thurman in a similar version from the same collection - and other money-making moguls, no one can really afford the hefty price tag. However, we can appreciate the fine design. I'm lusting over the sleek pony hair texture and chain handle. The best thing about is that it's simultaneously sassy and sleek. Functional and fabulous? It doesn't get any better than this . . .

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Diane von Furstenberg

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:00:08 -0700

If Diane von Furstenberg were in high school, she would be class president. Among all her CFDA duties, she struck gold with another stunning collection. This time, Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman, and Gossip Girls Leighton Meester and Jessica Szohr sat front row. As well, Molly Sims, Rosario Dawson, Sanaa Lathan and, my personal favorite, model Stephanie Seymour (in Alaia!). Whew. And I'm sure they were all dazzled.This go around was dubbed "Rock Goddess," and Diane described it as "an homage to Diana Vreeland, who taught us we could be goddesses and rock stars." With a big dose of flower child, DVF dresses and separates in India-inspired hues and adornments were my favorites. Some white cotton lace numbers were sweet, while floor-grazing floral gowns were demure. Prints were plentiful and gold sequins sparkled. Her take on silk pants, which I'm seeing everywhere, is wearable and simply pretty. And the headpieces - too fun. So fun, even the models were smiling.
