FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I don't foresee myself walking down the aisle anytime soon, but that won't stop me from peeping at the latest bridal fashions from Jenny Packham, Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier, and Temperley London. For Fall '10, the designers supplied us with an abundance of fabulous, frothy layers of tulles, taffeta, lace, and ruffles. However, what really caught my eye were a surprising selection of fancy short frocks and even black dresses – who dares? Check out the bountiful best from Fall '10 Bridal Fashion Week!

Fab Finger Discount: Simply Vera Vera Wang Moak Ankle Boots

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Is your boot collection looking sad these days? Then I highly recommend adding these Simply Vera Vera Wang Moak Ankle Boots ($56, originally $80) to your stash. The crisscross detail in the front makes them stand out from all the other booties in town and the gray hue is dope. If gray suede isn't for you, they also come in black leather. Cool (and inexpensive) booties make for happy strutting.

Alyson's strapless Vera Wang black-tiered gown may be safe, but she looks lovely. She's dripping in diamond earrings and a bracelet - always fabulous. Does Alyson play it too safe or do you love it?

Whitney Port attended the NYC premiere of The City season two, which debuts on Sept. 29, wearing a gorgeous silver brocade Whitney Eve mini dress. Always a girlie girl, the reality starlet cinched her waist with a pink and purple ribbon belt, then dressed her earlobes up with modern pearls. A pair of dainty sequined pumps continue the glittery theme. Lovely from head to toe.

OK, I know it's all about the bride on the big day. but that doesn't mean bridesmaids should get the shaft. You know what I mean. Why torture your closest friends with gaudy colors and rosettes when they can shine in Vera Wang's new bridesmaid collection? Thanks to Vera's vast selection of gorgeous gowns, bridesmaids can hold their heads high and wear their frocks with pride. The line, ranging from $180 to $300, includes decadent short and long styles made from jewel-toned satins, silks, and refined taffeta. My favorite has to be this modern Renee Satin Tiered Dress. Who ever said you can't wear bridesmaid dresses twice? Not Vera.

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Despite news about her failing Lavender Line, Vera Wang is determined to make things work. In fact, the designer decided to forge ahead with a footwear collection while plans for her handbag line are put on hold. “I didn’t want to launch a bag line in this economy,” said the designer. As for Lavender Label, expect to see a change within price points and a shift in offerings. Vera hinted that she might turn the line into a dress collection. “We will decide, but based on what the orders are coming in,” said Wang.

Sneak Peek! Simply Vera by Vera Wang Spring '09

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I saw a commercial for Simply Vera Vera Wang last night and immediately went online to see the selection up close. The Spring line has bloomed at Kohl's and I already have a long wish list. The designer usually delivers nothing short of stellar, so I'm not shocked at her latest offerings. In true Vera nature, there's lots of funky jewels and clothes conducive to heavy layering. I can see her wearing each and every one of her creations. Cropped trousers, graphic tops, sporty cool jackets, and breezy dresses dominate. One word of advice: If you want to maximize your style, mimic the looks head-to-toe.
