Trend Alert: All That Glitters

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Whether you're 6 years old or 30, the holidays are the perfect time to revel in all that glitters. Given, I don't need an excuse to wear such shimmering objects, but maybe you do. Glitter is more understated compared to its shine sisters - sequins and paillettes - and so perfect right now. If I owned this Anya Hindmarch Glitter Clutch ($425), I would flaunt it morning, noon, and night . . .

Celeb Style: Lauren Conrad

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Lookie at Lauren walking the streets of LA minus The Hills' camera crews. It seems the former reality star is on Fab's wavelength - she's preparing for a Fabby Halloween in her black and orange ensemble. The dotted Ecote miniskirt is beyond adorable (and affordable!), and I love the way her tan belt and matching Marc by Marc Jacobs bag keep her from being too costumey.

V-Neck Cap Sleeve Tee - $12.80	Ecote Geo Wrap Skirt - $48.00
Notched Leather Belt - $69.50	Steven by Steve Madden - Blend Black Suede - $89.00

Trend Alert: Striped Cardigans

FabSugarUK — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:30:57 -0700

Like it or not, the evenings are definitely drawing in now that it is October which means sooner or later you're going to reach for the knitwear! I have noticed a lot of striped cardigans around at the moment which are perfect for daywear.

There are many classic styles with a nautical feel to them, like this cream one (£95) at Whistles. There are also some with a bit of embellishment like this sequined version (pictured) by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I really like this slouchy deep v style from Urban Outfitters (£90). Will you be wearing a striped cardigan this season?

Trend Alert: Colourful Lips For Spring

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:30:00 -0700

OK, so bold, bright fruit-punch coloured lipstick isn't groundbreaking for Spring, but it sure was a welcome change from all of the barely made up faces that we saw on the catwalks during New York Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Designers like Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Derek Lam, Rebecca Taylor and more have incorporated colourful lips into the beauty styles at their shows. Take a peek at 13 fun lipstick looks here!

Love It or Hate It: A Bevy of Bows at Marc by Marc Jacobs

BellaSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Hmm, let's see. Where else have we seen '80s-influenced styles on the runways thus far? We caught a glimpse of the totally awesome decade with Derek Lam's rainbow of eye colors, Gwen Stefani's rocker chic looks at L.A.M.B., and we even experienced a touch of it from the twisted headbands at Charlotte Ronson. Let's add Marc by Marc Jacobs to the growing list of rad styles, where the famous designer featured these big, bold, and completely bodacious bows on the Marc by Marc Jacobs runway for Spring 2010. If you were a child of the 1980s, I'm sure you can't help but think Madonna-meets-Minnie Mouse, right? You can always do your own hair-inspired hair bow, but when it comes to the material-girlness of it all, are you feeling these cheeky headpieces, or are they a bit too colorfully cockeyed for your liking?

Fall Glimpse: Haute Houndstooth

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I know what you're going to say: houndstooth isn't a trend, it's a classic. So true. But what happens when a classic is Preen-ified? You get this wicked little dress. Or when McQueen takes it for a dark spin? Houndstooth like you've never seen it before. We already had a reader rework this classic. Preen, McQueen, Sugar stylists - now it's your turn. My approach would be edgy, an effort to rock houndstooth's world even further.

Chic Deal: Get a Free Marc By Marc Jacobs iPhone Case

GeekSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:33:41 -0700

Here's a bonus if you were already shopping for your Fall wardrobe: While supplies last, you can get a free Marc By Marc Jacobs Case for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

The catch is that you have to spend $250 on Marc By Marc Jacobs stuff, but like I said, if you were already shopping, it wouldn't hurt to grab some new Marc By Marc togs for a new iPhone case.

Marc has made some pretty hot gadget holders in the past, and this case is pretty cute itself, but as I don't have $250 extra lying around, I'll see if I can hunt down the case on its own.

Trend Alert: Bright-Ass Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:30:22 -0700

Who is this mystery woman and who designed her bright-ass bag? That would be Fab fave Anne Hathaway on the streets of NYC and Chanel. Double trouble. Anne was obviously in a dress-down mood - black leggings, cute flats, a simple striped top - but behold a gorgeous, plush turquoise Chanel. Anne always requires a slice of glam and her bag baby is as delicious as blueberry pancakes. Pass the syrup.
