Joy's Joyous Maxis

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Did you know Joy Bryant has worn over 20 maxis on the red carpet? That's a lot of maxis! While the effortlessly gorgeous actress loves jeans for everyday life, she clearly favors maxis for night. Bold, understated, print, solid, flowy, fitted - she's done it all. And her maxi designer of choice? Missoni, of course, the designer of her (maxi) wedding gown. But she has also been spotted wearing Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen, Pucci, and Bally. Take a trip down the red carpet to witness Joy's joyous maxis from 2004 until today.

2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week Fab Roundup!

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Even under a scrunched time line, Milan Fashion Week stunned with numerous beautiful collections. In this roundup, I highlight some of my favorite designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Fendi, and Armani, to name a few. I admit, Dolce & Gabbana's collection was my favorite, but that's not stopping me from showing you Bottega's soft and swirly frock, Gucci's cut-out wonder, and Emilio Pucci's magical prints. I can't seem to resist this tropical bohemian masterpiece from Etro. Simply a-mazing.

Back to Cool: Grease 2

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

If you tuned into FABTV a couple weeks ago. you knew this one was coming. "Cool Rider." Obsessed. I have a Fab crush on Stephanie Zinone - and apparently you do, too! Right on. But there's more where that came from in the camp classic Grease 2. One could argue the original is the best, but I go back and forth. The wardrobes are pretty even Steven '50s high, but the sequel was filmed in '82, so there's a slight '80s flair, via sporty sunnies and lamé luau garb. Let's agree, both are Fab - but I'd choose Michael Carrington over Danny Zuko any day . . .

I Love Your ShopStyle: Soft Vanilla

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Chocolate is super delicious, but sometimes I'm in the mood for soft vanilla. Actually, ssandra's serene ensemble put me in the mood. Everything she chose is understated in color but pops in silhouette. I love the batwing top against the slim gray jeans. The yellow accents provide just enough oomph without messing with the calmness. Om.

Fab Ad: Missoni, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

For Fall '09, Missoni enlisted the help of Ryan McGinley - the same photog who shot Stella's playful ad - to create an amazing, windblown masterpiece. The campaign features Hanne Gaby Odiele and her luxurious locks, in Missoni's signature knits. Peep the eye-catching, colorful juxtaposition between the soft knits and black truck. Don't her striped blue cardi and oatmeal leggings look cozy enough to sleep in? I don't know if I'd dare do such a thing, but I'm just sayin'. Thoughts?

Found It! Boldly Patterned Chair

CasaSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:00:02 -0700

Cruising through the portfolio of French photographer Pierre-Jean Verger, I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of this living room. Stunning architectural details (mantel, moldings) such as these are a perk of many French homes and add instant elegance. But sometimes these features will make a room look more formal than it's meant to be. So, I was impressed with how this room looks simultaneously luxurious and casual. The large, clean-lined, contemporary sofa helps combat the chichi of pricey accessories and art, and the low coffee table, albeit a work of art, makes the room all the more relaxed.
Beyond that, I was drawn to the boldly patterned, chrome frame armchair in the corner, whose palette cues perfectly to that of the massive painting over the mantel. I'd actually come across it before. Where had I seen it? Find out when you read more.

It's the Paulistano Chair ($1,500) by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, upholstered in irresistible Missoni fabric, and I've featured it before as a Crave Worthy.

Chic Cruise '10

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I can only dream of the islands I would visit wearing ravishing resort pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, Armani, Moschino Cheap & Chic, and Missoni. While my Costa Rica trip won't be quite as fancy, I can aspire to look just as nice. Each collection showed a different take on holiday dressing. Armani took the bold route with city chic cuts; Missoni played with plenty of subdued prints and layers; Moschino Cheap & Chic kept it soft and feminine; and Yves Saint Laurent - my favorite - wowed with an ode to YSL muse Loulou de la Falaise. I love how this animal print top evokes sensual, sexy vibes. Want to see my favorite Cruise '10 looks to date? You know what to do . . .

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Bachelorette Bash in Napa

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Vegas bachelorette parties are so passé. That's why I suggest a fresher destination to all future brides: Napa. Can't you imagine toasting yourself, or a close friend, in a winery surrounded by scrumptious food and barrels of delicious vino? Clubbing attire isn't required, but that doesn't mean you can't dress sexy. I asked you to put together a sassy outfit for such an occasion. Creativity and thinking outside the box was encouraged - salud!

I started you off with this Betsey Johnson Animal Print Bra ($38) because I wanted you to figure out a way to slyly show off the racy print.

Ten Maxi Gowns for a Formal Wedding

FabSugarUK — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:00:42 -0700

I love any excuse to dress up, but preparing myself for a formal event is one of my favourites. These kind of events don't come along every day (unless you're a celebrity), so make the most of them in a long flowing, maxi dress.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Jenny Humphrey

FabSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:00:22 -0700

It might be hard to believe with her stealth sense of style, but Jenny Humprey's a Spring chicken. In fact, she just turned 16 on the latest episode of Gossip Girl. Sadly, Jenny's sweet 16 didn't pan out like she hoped but at least she got a shimmery gold Missoni trapeze dress - gifted from Serena - out of the situation. Leave it to Jenny to add a downtown vibe to her girly frock by styling it with a motorcycle jacket, hoodie, and opaque tights. Red patent peep-toe pumps add sexy while gold and crystal earrings and leather and chain bracelets show off her funky attitude. Go Jenny, it's your birthday . . .
