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 . . .

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled. Dramatic much? But doesn't it make you want to do the pleat?

I Love Your Shopstyle: Geometric

One might see this picture as a scrambled abstract but not Historie Girl. She pulled inspiration from the geometric pattern and created a striking Victorian-inspired ensemble. Her color choices are spot-on and I can't take my eyes off those Dries van Noten canvas and leather sandals. . .

Fab Flash: Anya Hindmarch is Awarded MBE

FabSugarUK — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:30:31 -0700

British designer Anya Hindmarch was awarded for her contribution to the fashion industry yesterday as she headed to Buckingham Palace to collect her MBE. She was listed in the Queen's New Year honours list along with Hilary Riva.

The Queen was dressed in a white and yellow floral dress as she presented Anya with her medal. The designer commented, "[It's] Such a fantastic honour and a really special experience. It made me feel so proud to be British!"

To receive the honour Anya wore a Marni cream dress and beige coat whilst carrying a clutch from her own cruise collection. She accessorised with plenty of beads as she layered necklaces. Congratulations Anya!

Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:00:08 -0800

Cutie Kristen Bell has been making her rounds at New York Fashion Week. She attended the Alice + Olivia presentation in an ensemble that at first seems simple, but upon closer inspection, comes to life. She could have thrown on a dress, like most attendees did, but her look took a little more work. The color palette of black, white, and gold is tame, but the black tapered trousers are what make her so au courant. I love the way her cropped leather jacket toughens up her look, and how the gold coin belt softens it.

Silence & Noise Christiane Jacket - $108.00	Helmut Lang Oversized Tapered Pants - $335.00
Avignon Matte Goldtone Coin Chain Belt - $70.00	Rabenhorst - $80.00

Celebrity Style: Isla Fisher

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:00:08 -0800

Isla Fisher's character in Confessions of a Shopaholic loves color and layering, but the actress took another route at the film's UK premiere. This ensemble stopped me dead in my clicks - it's sexy as hell but doesn't lose its fashiony side. The black-sequin Jasmine Di Milo mini dress shows off Isla's killer gams, while her Jimmy Choo sandals highlight her feet. And the accessories couldn't be more right. The black-and-gold swirly clutch hypnotizes while her huge earrings and ring mesmerize. UK Fab wants to know, do you love it or hate it?

Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Sequin Tunic Dress - Ebony - $14.99	Miguel Ases Oxidized Silver Chandelier Earrings - $350.00

Trend Alert: Wintry Caftans

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:00:22 -0800

I was thinking Fashion Week wardrobe and had an epiphany; I saw Molly Sims in her silky exotic print caftan, standing beside Anya Hindmarch (hi Anya!), and thought just because it's freezing in NYC doesn't mean I can't bring the Luxotica. It's a pity colorful wintry caftans and tunics are reserved for warm weather. Why not throw one over cozy tights and fresh boots? They're great for layering too since they're lightweight. Like three outfits just flashed before my eyes. Color me inspired!

Anya Hindmarch Embosses the Name of the Gadget on the Bag

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 09:00:44 -0800

British designer Anya Hindmarch is known for her fabulous handbags, but did you know what a stickler she is for organization?

It's evident she cares about your orderliness as well, because she has made these pretty little leather cases for accessories. Make no mistake, the pouches embossed with "CAMERA" (about $110) and "MY TUNES" (on sale for $73) are for your camera, and MP3 player, respectively.

They cost a pretty penny, but if your New Year's resolution was to get organized, then maybe they're an investment worth making.

Fab Flash: Queen Honours Fashion Industry

FabSugarUK — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 01:30:12 -0800

Happy New Years Eve! Today the Queen announced her Christmas presents to key members of the British empire and yet again she has chosen to honour the fashion industry. It's been a difficult year for London Fashion Week as it fought for it's place in the schedule so fitting that Hilary Riva, chairman of the British Fashion Council, should be honoured with an OBE.

Anya Hindmarch too has been awarded an MBE alongside Nicky Kinnaird of Space NK. Interior designer Kelly Hoppen has also been awarded an MBE for services to interior design. Earlier this year Anna Wintour was presented with an OBE.
