FabSugar — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:30:33 -0800

Old Navy's Women's Plus Winter Collection has hit the real and virtual racks, and there are some luxurious items to be had. Whether you need clothes for the office, the office party, out on the town, or running errands, there's a piece or two, or three, for you.

One standout is this Smocked Knit Dress ($27, originally $40). The jade hue is so regal and the silhouette is flattering and chic. The selection also includes tweed trousers, cashmere sweaters, pencil skirts, lace tops, ballet flats, jeans, peacoats, and clutches.

At prices ranging from $8 to $80, it's definitely worth a look, or two, or three...

Designer Spotlight: MK2K

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

You may have heard of edgy clothing line MK2K - it's a celebrity favorite. Judging from its unique pieces (I love that cutout blazer, center) it's easy to see why so many swear by Michelle Kim's designs.It all started when Kim couldn't find a sweater that was functional, stylish, and inexpensive. So in August 2006, MK2K started offering contemporary knits that retail for under $200. The Fall/Winter collection is made up of all things cozy - knit wraps, vest sweaters, and wool dresses. It's effortless without losing panache.

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Suddenly, Cynthia Rowley seems that much cooler. An avid surfer, she is teaming up with Roxy for a collection named Cynthia Rowley for Roxy. The first collection will launch exclusively at Barneys New York and at Colette in Paris in March. But don't fret beach dwellers: it will also be available in Roxy stores and in Cynthia Rowley boutiques worldwide. The whole Rowley clan hits breaks: "My family and I surf a lot. Just about every weekend in the Summer, we go to Montauk, and in the winter we go to the Dominican Republic for long weekends. I love that we have this family activity that we all really enjoy.”

Partnering with an outside designer to create an apparel collection is a first for Roxy. But the masterminds behind the lifestyle brand know to keep up with the Jones, “Our mission at Roxy has always been to have one foot in the surf world and another foot in the fashion world,” said Randy Hild, executive vice president of marketing at Roxy. Down to the sandy details! Expect Rowley-inspired wetsuits, boards shorts, shorts, tees, dress, swimwear, and accessories. Neoprene headbands? Right on. And, keeping with the affordable Roxy price point, the collection will be priced from $18 wholesale for a printed scarf to $89 wholesale for a long-sleeve bodysuit. Shaka.

Nicole Richie Designs New Contemporary Line!

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:37:24 -0700

Nicole Richie is a new mom again, but that's not stopping her from expanding her fashion empire. Along with House of Harlow 1960 and a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod, she is designing a women's contemporary line called Winter Kate (Harlow's middle names). The 37-piece collection, which was inspired by peacocks and other birds, includes tops, vests, bed jackets, and dresses - mini, long slip-style, and kimono-sleeve maxis.

"Fashion should be accessible. That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and it remains my philosophy for Winter Kate," she said. Prices start at $35 and go up to $598 for leather pieces. Look out for the line in February at stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Intermix, and Kitson.

Balenciaga on My Mind, The Fall/Winter 2006 Handbag Collection

Community Manager — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:17:58 -0700

Another day another bag obsession. Well gang, today it's not just one, but the entire Fall/Winter 2006 collection from Balenciaga. I think the most notable thing about this collection, aside from the beautiful designs, are the amazing rich Fall colors. Two of my favorites from the palette are a gorgeous deep chocolate brown as seen here in this fabulous Matelassé

As well as this beautiful royal blue color which is slightly brighter than last spring's deep navy blue/purple (which was also FAB, btw).

I was at Neiman Marcus this weekend and saw both the chocolate brown and the royal blue up close and personal and they are truly breakthtaking.
