Beyonce Knowles: What Would She Wear?

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

Most stars have a signature style. You know, when you look at an item and automatically think of a specific person. That's what happened when I saw this military-style jacket - the first thing that popped into my head was, I can totally see it on Beyonce. It reminded me of her Alexander McQueen velvet band vest. Why not take it a step further and find a bunch of other signature Beyonce pieces? Statement earrings, sexy pumps, cool shades, and embellished bags are all a part of the sexy diva's world. Step inside to see what else Mrs. Jay-Z would wear and where you can get it.

Trend Alert: Couture Details

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Believe me, if I could afford Diane's divine Chanel Couture dress, I would swoop it up in a heartbeat. Sigh, back to life, back to reality. The good thing is, we don't have to pay a runway price to wear such beautiful couture details. All you have to do is look for unique, extravagant embellishments via strong shoulders, unique prints, pouf skirts, lavish sequins, and fancy detailing. Check out my keen picks for the time being, until you train your eye . . .

15 Cozy Chic Sweaters You Need Now!

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

I recently got an intense urge to fill my closet with a ton of cozy chic sweaters. You know what spurred it? Daria Werbowy's delicious hooded sweater in Vogue Nippon. A-mazing. The key to a great sweater is it not only looking good, but feeling good on your skin, too. That's why you shouldn't skimp in this category - an itchy sweater, no matter how inexpensive, is useless. But, that's not to say that you can't find a relatively affordable style that's cool and comfy. One of them is this popcorn-colored cableknit sweater Arlenis Sosa is wearing. Proceed to see some of my cozy-chic finds at all price points.

I Love Your ShopStyle: The Power of Red

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

CherryLady's architecturally appealing ensemble is all about confidence. I love how she exemplified the power of red by incorporating a draped skirt with an eccentric red houndstooth top by Alexander McQueen. The gray and red color combo is ideal for Fall, and notice how she contrasted the structural theme with a girly red bow. Let's not forget those Giuseppe Zanotti metal cap-toe booties - I'm dead.

Look of the Day: Denim on Denim

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Mkoesnadi pulls off denim on denim so effortlessly. Her ode to the '80s is comprised of an acid-wash jean jacket and a splattered DIY skirt - hot stuff. Black booties, scarf, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers finish off her old-school vibe. Is that a Gucci bag I spy in the background?

Here's what she has on:

Denim Jacket: Unknown
Tank: U2
Miniskirt: Armani Exchange
Bangles: Forever 21
Ankle Boots: Zara
Sunnies: Rayban Wayfarers
Scarf: Unknown
Bag: Unknown

Congrats to mkoesnadi!

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Sienna Miller proves that a running a simple errand (ie. walking her cute doggie) is an opportunity to show off her suave styling skills. The cutie kept warm in NYC donning a gray fluffy furry layered over a Topshop knit sweater - so cozy! Down under, the actress kept things sleek in a pair of black skinny jeans and funky black wedge boots. Ultra Fab.

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat - genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties. I wish my former college ensembles were this hot . . .

Fab's November Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

These rad, red Balmain suede booties are helping me battle my post-Halloween depression. Thank goodness for Balmain, right? The rest of my November picks are either cozy or cozy chic; it's finally time to stow my sandals and lightweight jackets and reunite with my bodacious boots and tights. I admit: I missed them. Furry hats, cool jewels, and Sienna Miller-inspired moccasin boots also made the want list.

Oh say can you see Diane looking amazing?! This girl has style that keeps on giving. Last night, she looked flawless at the Courage in Journalism Awards in Beverly Hills. Her silver strapless J. Mendel dress has the right amount of pouf and her Lanvin clutch just enough wildness. A delicate rhinestone necklace, layered bracelets, and ankle-strap black sandals make Diane even more divine.

A Fabby Halloween: Gypsy

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Gypsy, wanderer, nomad, bohemian - call her what you will, but she is the ultimate free spirit. If you want a liberating costume this Halloween, look no further than the exotic gypsy. Much like the cirque du freak, the gypsy requires piling it all on. The main fashion components are coin jewelry, bangles, anklets, floor-sweeping skirts, paisley prints, head scarves, velvet, and layers - see Star from The Lost Boys for a vampy version. A wavy ebony wig can also help with authenticity. Roam away . . .

Just can't get enough? Join my A Fabby Halloween group, where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.
