Glitterati: UnEarthed

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 03:30:33 -0700

UnEarthed, by sisters Gina and Karen Koenig, is a result of a mutual love of fashion, art and leathercraft. All three elements are evidenced in the sophisticated-cum-edgy collection of cuffs, earrings and bangles. The duo vowed never to use embossed leathers and imitation skins, so everything you see is made of real crocodile, alligator and snake skin, even this Plum Snakeskin Silver Cuff, $33. The color is obtained by a dye and the slick sheen by hand polishing. Just the perfect accessories for a Wild Thing!

Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is one blessed lady. Not only does she have the pleasure of dating the Orlando Bloom, she's also unearthly gorgeous. At the Victoria's Secret Heavenly Kiss launch party, the Australian brunette chose a Balenciaga floral mini dress that looks like the sassy sister of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring gowns. Although her choice of satin peep-toe pumps is pretty, I switched them out for a more modern pair of lace-up peep toes.

It's Raining Men! Make Me a Supermodel's Hot Boys

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

It's currently Men's Fashion Week in Europe, so I've got hunky male models on my brain. Further satiating my appetite are the sizzling male contestants on Bravo's show Make Me a Supermodel. Even if you've merely glanced at the tube while the show was on, you know that the aspiring male models have so much more potential than their female counterparts. Some of them even put host Tyson Beckford to shame.

These boys are going places; they have the bodies of Greek gods and faces that are unearthly. Three in particular stand out for me: Perry (left), Frankie (center), and Casey (right). Not only are they easy on the eyes, but they pose and pout as if it's been their job since exiting the womb. And have you seen them work the catwalk? I say, somebody give them contracts (and my number) ASAP! Check out more jaw-dropping model portfolios here.

Tune In To Tim Gunn's "Guide to Style"

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 05:30:33 -0700

As one of the most prominent fashion TV personalities of late, it's no surprise that silver fox style expert Tim Gunn, of Project Runway fame, landed himself his own show. "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" seeks to makeover "fashion-challenged" women. With tough-love and guidance Tim and his fashion accomplice, former model Veronica Webb, lead women on an emotional journey to unearth their personal style.

Via our Fab sponsor, BravoTV, Tim wants "every woman to achieve her style zenith." I must say: I was not the only one who shed a tear at the end of the pilot - the whole cast had! It's true this makeover show is not the norm - it is thorough, sophisticated and emotional. And, educational. There are some aspects every woman should learn such as Gunn's "essential shopping list" which includes 10 basic pieces that no closet should be without - LBD, classic white shirt, blazer etc. and the importance of fit, as exhibited by some nifty computer technology. We could all use a weekly dose of Tim Gunn and here's how! Be sure to watch Thursdays starting September 6th at 10/9c.
