Fab's December Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Another year gone by, another year to come! Every year seems plentiful if you keep your watch on the ever-fickle world of fashion. What was in a year ago is not so in now, in some cases though, trends prevail. This can be interpreted on a personal level too. December is a time to reflect back on the year and think good thoughts; I never think it's healthy to start a new year as a negative Nancy. So let's raise our glasses and kick up our booties in an ode to 2007. Here are some things to get me through the stressful, but blissful, final month of the year.

Jetsetting is on my mind and I think it's time I invest in some posh luggage, like this Samsonite Vintage Duffel on Wheels ($600).
Resort collections means new and fresh clothes. This Tracy Reese Three Tone Knit Dress ($360) is adorable.
I am officially in love with the Yves Saint Laurent black quilted patent leather 'Tribute' large tote ($1,195). Not because it's in the ads with Gisele, because I prefer a hobo style and this is sleek as hell.
This Jay Godrey Zip Back Stretch Pencil Skirt ($285) is so Robert Palmer girl. Check out the zipper down the back!
Yes, I sport fingerless gloves. These 3.1 Phillip Lim Short Fingerless Gloves in Heather ($150) will match everything and prevent manicure mess-ups!

A Fabby Halloween Round Up!

FabSugar — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 13:00:22 -0700

I'm no procrastinator but once October hits the rest of the year tends to fly by and I feel boggled down. I always find the time to stop and eat the candy once Halloween rolls around though - the holiday that encourages you to exhibit your creativity and release inhibitions. All week we showed you Fab and fast costumes and I promise there's still time to create a unique costume so next week we'll be continuing our Fabby Halloween series. In case you missed any:

Halloween How-To: Simply Irresistible

BellaSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:00:57 -0700

Fab is so obsessed with the dancers in Robert Palmer's classic video Simply Irresistible that she asked me to share how to get the hair and makeup look. You don't have to ask me twice, Fab. Here's how to do it up if you're thinking of swaying with a guitar this Halloween.

Fortunately, the hair is ridiculously easy to recreate. If you have straight hair, you're set; if you have wavy or curly hair, use a heated styling iron to make it pin-straight. Pull your hair back into a low, tight bun that rests at the nape of the neck. Then, work a glossing cream such as Citre Shine Shine Miracle Glossing Pomade ($4.49) into your hands; then smooth the hair down. The idea is to make it slick and shiny, so don't worry about going overboard. See, easy!

The hair is simple, but the face makeup is a little more involved. First, start by applying a medium-weight foundation to your face. Don't skimp on this step! The look is a flawless, matte finish-so don't freak if it's a little heavier than what you'd normally wear. (It is Halloween, after all.)

The eye is smoky, with shimmery eye shadows in three brown tones. I recommend using a champagne color, a deep brown color, and one in between. Start by applying concealer or shadow on your eyelids and underneath the browbone; this will provide a base for the color. Then, use a medium-sized shadow brush to apply the "medium" brown color to lids. Next, use a smaller shadow brush to gently press the darkest shadow into the outer and inner corners. Moving on to the champagne color, softly press the shadow from the crest of the eyelid down. Softly buff the lighter colors into the darker ones until they've blended. (You should be moving down and out toward the corners of the eyes.) Finish by lining top and bottom lids with a black eyeliner.

Then you'll need to create purposely bold brows. If you're going for perfection, invest in a brow kit with a small brush and different shades (see my pick below). If it's just for funsies, you can cheat by buying a Wet 'N' Wild pencil and filling in the brows.

Since this is an '80s look, use a plum blush to contour cheeks. If you were a child of the '80s, you'll know what I mean. Instead of applying blush just to the apples of cheeks, you'll want to create a "triangle" by sweeping it back toward your ears. Dust a tiny bit on your temples, too.

You're almost done! Outline lips with a red lip liner. Then, using a lip brush, fill lips in with a red lipstick. Use a clear lip gloss (I recommend MAC Lipglass) to cover the color. You're all set!

Cover Girl Believable Blush - $5.59	M·A·C Clear Lipglass - $14.00
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - $24.00	Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Lip Liner Pencil - $23.00
Sephora Brand Eyebrow Palette - $12.00	Maybelline Line Stylist Eyeliner - $6.49

A Fabby Halloween: Simply Irresistible

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:00:22 -0700

You've heard me go on about how much I love Robert Palmer girls before. Not to sound like a broken record but they are too cool for school. They first appeared in his "Addicted to Love" video and were so popular he decided to include them in his similar, but better, video for the Fab song "Simply Irresistible." The song rocks, he rocks, the girls rock. And as a costume, this look is easy, cheeky and sexy. I would announce yourself as being ""Simply Irresistible," not just a Robert Palmer girl - it's more alluring.

For props, an electric guitar is ideal, but I threw in a little electric guitar necklace if you don't want to be too literal. These girls were all eye candy and didn't speak a word, but their dance moves were spicy. I'd learn some and you'll be the life of the party.

Also, a key accessory is the heavy makeup and slicked back hair so learn how to deliver it with precision and then knock 'em dead!

Fab Ad: Valentino Fall/Winter 2007

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 05:30:33 -0700

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda. The girls are lookin' good in Va-Va's trademark red dresses and matching red lipstick. Just look at those swooning poses and smoky eyes - there is some serious drama going on here! As the last ad campaign under the now retired designer's direction, I'd say this is the perfect ode to the glamorous Italian fashion house.

In closing, I love how the light is coming through blinds: does anyone else see American Gigolo meets Robert Palmer here?

FABTV: Robert Palmer "Simply Irresistible"

FabSugar — Sat, 19 May 2007 12:22:22 -0700

I have seen this video I don't know how many times; especially since I was "Simply Irresistible" for Halloween this past year. I tell ya: it's a very easy, cheap costume and it's really fun! The boys love it. I mean, wasn't this a total male fantasy? A GQ guy surrounded by femme fatales in tight black mini dresses with pouty red lips who would sway their hips, and shoulders, from side-to-side. And then you have the dancing posse - I actually memorized this routine for my costume (I go all out on Halloween). I suppose we could do without the wet dancers in goggles and the freak train of purple mini skirts but the rest is...simply irresistible.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the FABTV.

Celebrities Brave London Rain to Applaud the Pride of Britain

PopSugarUK — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:12:24 -0700

A whole host of stars came out for the Pride Of Britain Awards at London's Grosvenor House last night. The awards, which celebrate ordinary people's extraordinary actions, brought about a few reunions, with former X Factor contestants Alexandra Burke and those JLS boys Aston, Marvin, Oritse and JB hanging out with judges Dannii Minogue and a curly-haired Cheryl Cole, who was joined by her Girls Aloud band mates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.

Emma Bunton, one of the awards judges, and Melanie Brown both walked the red carpet and no doubt took the opportunity to discuss the Spice Girls reunion. Naomi Campbell and Gordon and Tana Ramsay were amongst several guests who also partied at Simon Cowell's 50th on Saturday: they must be looking forward to a relaxing week now! Lots of other stars attended the ceremony too, from Myleene Klass with her melon coloured lips to Louise Redknapp in her colourful print dress. Check out all the red carpet style with my girl FabUK.

To see loads more pictures from the awards, including Davina McCall, Joe Calzaghe, Kristina Rihanoff, Katherine Jenkins, Kelly Brook, Laila Rouass, Lisa Snowdon, Louise Redknapp, Myleene Klass, Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, Peter Andre, Rachel Stevens, Ronan Keating, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay, Verne Troyer and many more, just read more.

Taylor Adds a Touch of Twilight to Teen Vogue's Bash

PopSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Taylor Lautner made an appearance Friday on the red carpet at Teen Vogue's annual Young Hollywood bash in LA. He's on the cover of the October issue, and Taylor was looking right at home as he mingled with a crowd that included new Eclipse star Noot Seear. On Saturday, Taylor was already at LAX on his way back to Canada, where his costars like Robert Pattinson spent the weekend with their usual cast dinners and filming.

Selena Gomez was also at the party, but the former couple didn't seem to get too close. Inside the party Selena joined fellow young stars like Ashley Tisdale, AnnaLynne McCord, Tallulah Belle Willis, and more. The following night, Selena performed her first ever concert in front of celebrity fans like Nicole Richie and Lo Bosworth. It sounds like a pretty exciting weekend for Selena, looking perfectly adorable as ever as she shows off another talent and hits the same red carpet as her ex-boyfriend Taylor.

Robert, the Twilighters, and Britney Make a Fun Teen Choice

Molly — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

The Teen Choice Awards were filmed in Universal City last night, but you'll have to wait until this evening to see them on the air. If you want all the spoilers, check out the full winner list here. The show was full of fun moments and, of course, lots of artful cutaways to check in on the Twilight kids. The Jonas Brothers looked like they were having a blast hosting the big night, which began and ended with their performances. They also participated in a series of fan-chosen dares throughout the night - including Nick hugging fans and Joe getting a faux-haircut. Britney's big moment came after a sweet introduction from Miley Cyrus, but Brit didn't hang out on stage long. Her standard short thank-you-to-the-fans speech was enough, but she looked fantastic in her minidress. Speaking of showing some skin, Miley's performance of her new single involved some tiny shorts and risque moves with a pole.

The Twilight cast were skillfully moved around during the show, but ended up sitting together before they received a slew of awards. There were too many to do one by one, so the whole group went up together to accept the batch. Taylor took the lead, but Robert wasn't going to get away without talking. He joked that he was asked to stretch out the show so he rambled a bit, seeming a little more loosened up than when he took the stage with Megan Fox earlier. Other highlights included Zac Efron's effusive speech, the Black Eyed Peas', Cameron Diaz, and Ellen DeGeneres winning for her Twitter. Watch it all tonight, but before then don't miss our red carpet coverage as well as Fab and Bella's love it or hate it polls!
