Casa Verde: Droog Rag Chair

CasaSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:00:08 -0700

The next time you find yourself in the need of new furniture, you can refrain from opening your mailbox in search of a shelter catalog or from typing a URL into your browser. That's right, you might already have the materials needed for "new" furniture sitting in your home . . . or your hamper. That is, according to Droog. The Droog Rag Chair ($5,500) is made from layers of 15 bags of unique, upcycled rags. And, if you like, they can be your own rags; you have the option of recycling your own rags to be included in the design. Now you have a use for that free Capital One T-shirt you got when you signed up for a credit card at a festival booth . . .

Jessica Biel was spotted on her way out of her New York apartment with her hands full. She layered a Rag & Bone asymmetrical coat over a heathered brown cardigan and an oversize white blouse. Her khaki pants were cuffed to perfectly rest on a pair of brown leather boots, and she completed the look with an eye-catching pair of blue shades. Shop her exact coat and other similar items now!

Who Wore It Better? Rag & Bone Shiny Silver Blazer

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:30:08 -0700

Rag & Bone's shiny silver blazer instantly caught my eye, so it's not shocking that it also appealed to both Charlize Theron and Molly Sims. Charlize first wore the bold blazer at the 2008 Fashion Rocks event, along with black leather leggings and a whopping statement necklace. Molly just wore the same shiny blazer to a NYC screening of The Hangover. Her version includes cropped black pants, Michael Kors zip sandals, and a long necklace. Both ladies shine, literally, but who steals the spotlight?

Backstage Beauty: Rag & Bone

BellaSugar — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 07:00:38 -0700

Backstage at Rag & Bone, celebrity makeup artist and Lancome Cosmetics Designer Gucci Westman was busy turning bare faced models into late-'60s, early-'70s era James Bond sirens. This was an especially important show for Gucci, since her husband is one of the designers of Rag & Bone! If you're interested in recreating this look at home, here's what you'll need:

Use the taupes in the Lancome Color Design Makeup Artist Palette in Stylish Neutrals and blend well on your lid.
Next, apply Lancome Artliner Liquid Eyeliner in Brown to the lash line and blur the line with your finger. Add a little more liner and blend with the Giorgio Armani Eye Contour Brush.
Then, build up your crease with the black and brown shades in the palette. Use the white shadow on the lid and brow bone to highlight and blend well. Curl your lashes with the one and only Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler, and add two coats of Lancome Cils Design Pro Mascara as a finishing touch.
On your cheeks, lightly dust Lancome Blush Subtil in Cappucine on the high parts of your cheekbones and finish lips with a peachy nude lipstick.

Online Sale Alert! Deep Discounts at Aloha Rag

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 02:00:22 -0700

In between Fashion Week festivities, I checked out Aloha Rag's new store in Greenwich Village. The clothes were amazing, and I couldn't help myself from noticing the beautiful sales people. I wonder if they came from Hawaii, too?

On that note, I scoped out their online store hoping to score a deal. Mission accomplished. These Pierre Hardy Patent High Heels ($268, originally $670) are perfection. Check out their sale section for high-end labels from the likes of Phillip Lim and Chloe marked up to 70 percent off.

Backstage Beauty: Rag & Bone

BellaSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:00:09 -0800

The hair and makeup at Friday's Rag & Bone show worked 100% seamlessly with the clothing. That makes sense, since lead makeup artist Gucci Westman is married to one of the designers of the line. Like the clothing that came down the runway, the makeup used gray, black, and blue tones to create an edgy cool-girl look.

"It's a Blade Runner '40s girl," Gucci explained as she dabbed navy eye shadow on model Coco Rocha. "The collection is very monochromatic and futuristic, so we wanted something a little more futuristic and unexpected in the makeup. The girl still looks gorgeous-it's always important that she looks sexy and cool."

Online Sale Alert! Up To 60% Off at Aloha Rag

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 06:30:33 -0700

It's not often that you find relatively new designer goods at low prices. Aloha Rag's sale is one of those rare times so bust out your plastic and stake your claim.

I'm seriously considering getting this Phillip Lim Pleat Back Dress, $300 (originally $750), because it is unique and that color is to die for. In the world of designer fashion, 300 bucks for a gorgeous dress is not bad. Just think about it: won't the money be worth it when I walk into the fantastic party and make every single head spin? I think so!

If you're not in the market for a dress, there's plenty of shoes, bags, jeans, top, skirts and jewels so there's no excuse not to take a peek.
