Trend Alert: Resort Time Maxis

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:00:22 -0800

If you're part of the lucky bunch who is jetsetting to paradise this holiday, do not leave home without at least one Resort time maxi. But the real beauty is: You don't need to leave your hometown to wear such a fabulous frock. Actress Jennifer Morrison wore her Missoni to an InStyle soiree only appearing to have transported herself. She looked like she just got back from a relaxing rendezvous; whether she actually did or not remains a mystery . . .

Trend Alert: Peek-a-Boo You

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

I have a tendency to seriously cover up when the weather is gelid. In an effort to let our skin breathe, I say peek-a-boo you. Spring will be all about sensuality so get a jumpstart with some sexy cut outs, sheer fabrics and keyhole necklines. I know it's cold outside, but don't we always want to look hot?

Trend Alert: Winter Yellow

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:00:22 -0800

Fab old-timers may recall that Winter yellow is not a new trend: Kylie Minogue brightened up last Winter with a chipper coat that we all loved. Well, we can all continue the love because yellow is not going anywhere. The happy hue even made its way onto the set of the Sex and the City movie - furry friend included. Blake Lively recently looked radiant in golden Michael Kors while Phillip Lim lightened up his Resort collection with a spritz. Want to wear something unexpected for New Years? Here's your chance . . .

Trend Alert: Tuxedo Days

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 07:30:33 -0700

There are Tuesdays and there are Tuxedo Days. What the hell am I talking about you wonder? As the boys' closets continue to inspire the girls' closets, the ladies are happy to take the creme de la creme of the penguin attire. Button up a vest, consume yourself in a crisp white shirt, slide on a pair of expertly tailored trousers and hello Marlene Dietrich - who set the standard for tuxedo chic. Dribble some satin and rhinestones on, for some femme effect, and get ready to razzle dazzle 'em.

Rest in Peace, Mervyns

It's always sad to see a clothing store with rich history go down. While Steve & Barry's also recently nearly folded, Mervyns is the first major department store to announce its liquidation during these tough economic times. The 59-year-old company will be holding going-out-of-business sales at its remaining 149 locations during the holidays as a way to maximize value for its creditors.

While many may be shocked by this news, some are not: “It’s not surprising that the demise of the company is taking place. Their locations weren’t good enough and their message got diluted. Because of their lack of momentum, their pricing may not have been as sharp as it should have been," said Walter Loeb of Walter Loeb Associates. It remains to be seen if Mervyns will be rescued, but in the meantime, let's bid adieu.

On Our Radar: Yigal Azrouel Accessorizes His Brand

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Everyone wants a piece of the accessories pie and designer Yigal Azrouël is the latest. For his Spring '09 show, he collaborated with Swiss cobbler Walter Steiger on two shoes. One was a pair of sculpted $920 leather booties on a thin, stacked heel, and the other a $795 high-heeled sandal with wide leather straps, below. As of now, the shoes are only found at one of two Yigal Azrouël boutiques in New York. “I want to see what people think, if they like them,” Azrouël said.

In addition, Yigal is creating scarves and handbags for Spring. The latter, inspired by a camera case, consists of five vintage-looking pieces ranging from $700 to $1,375. Those you can find at his stores as well as the Boston-based Gretta Luxe, Divine Girls and Carrots, both in San Francisco, and Dallas’s 45-10.
