FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

PartySugar's high school reunion is coming up in couple of weeks. Since she's busy planning decadent holiday menus, shopping for clothes is the last thing on her mind - let's help her out! The reunion will be held at a swanky Mediterranean restaurant, so let's find her a fabulous dress, accessories, and footwear. One catch: she's recovering from foot surgery – ouch - so fancy flats are a must. I'll start you off with this Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Bracelet Clutch ($395); the chain-link detail is beyond fresh.

Trend Alert: Jungle Legs

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Step into the rain forest and you will find exotic felines, some Wild Things, and dangling jungle legs. I'm talking about leaf-, animal-, and reptilian-print leggings – are you game? I know, these leggings are kinda crazy, but ridiculously fun, too. Peep Whitney Port for stimulation. During a visit in LA, The City star donned a pair of black and gold leaf-print leggings with a casual sweatshirt and flats for an ultracomfortable, ultrafashionable look. Tip: Always keep your top and accessories to a minimum when going exotic. Let the legs do all the talking.

Rihanna Leads the Way With Amazing Women For Glamour

Molly — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Rihanna stole the show in her dramatic white dress as she and her fellow honorees took the red carpet at last night's Glamour Women of the Year celebration in NYC. Carnegie Hall was brimming with beautiful ladies from Iman to Maria Shriver and Diane von Furstenberg. Catherine Zeta-Jones stood out in blue and had Michael Douglas by her side for support. Rih was just one of a handful of women who were chosen by the magazine, but all eyes were on her - and most of you are loving the look, just the latest in her fashion metamorphosis!

Padma Lakshmi showed off her growing baby bump while one of the evening's honorees Stella McCartney smiled big with her award up on stage where she also had some trouble with her super short skirt. Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama were two of the magazine's other women of the year, though the First Lady didn't attend the event since she was with her husband President Barack Obama visiting with families at Fort Hood. The night was full of inspirational and important females who spoke and mingled, celebrating each other and Glamour's picks. Rihanna has come out strong opening up about her difficult year and what all this means to her – check out Rih's heartfelt speech after the jump.

Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were welcomed into the Council of Fashion Designers of America at their new members reception in NYC yesterday.

When they're not working on The Row or Elizabeth and James, Mary-Kate and Ashley can usually be seen with their boyfriends sharing romantic moments or double dates.

Trend Alert: Cat Print Minis

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Sigh, I will never tire of Miranda Kerr's cuteness. In addition to being one of Victoria's Secret's top models, the natural beauty is also a master at casual cool styling. While running errands in her native hometown of Sydney, Australia, she cranked up the fashion factor by pairing a blazer and tee with a vivacious cat print mini. Genius. These savage minis - whether lush leopard, cheetah, or tiger prints - add the ideal dose of animal instinct, and look best paired with loose casual tops. Just look at Miranda for inspiration; you know I will.

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled. Dramatic much? But doesn't it make you want to do the pleat?
