Celebrity Style: Rashida Jones

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Actress Rashida Jones has impeccable style, so it's no surprise that she attended a party in LA in a look worth mimicking. We continue to see the boyfriend blazer, but Rashida made hers more chill by rolling up its sleeves and pairing it with a watercolor skirt, gold accessories, and a Chanel bag. Her off-kilter shoes elevate the look to chic with a funky twist. That's a happy fashion ending.

Bolo Minuet Strappy Sandal - $220.00	Via Spiga Suede Belt - $44.99

Amanda looked just right in an off-kilter Thakoon dress to celebrate her cover on Gotham magazine. Her black-patent shoes with a baby tie are adorable and her woven clutch provides further depth. She let the dress shine with minimal jewelry, but played with her makeup colors and messy hair. Congrats cover girl!

Handbag Designer Spotlight: psnob

FabSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

In fashion we always like to talk about the fusion of art and style, and nothing in that mix speaks louder than designer Rebecca Robinson's psnob handbags.

They truly are a work of art. Somewhat of an art snob, Rebecca set out to create unique, hand-painted clutches, which will one day become collector's items. That is yet to be seen, but one thing is apparent now: Her creations, retailing from $500 to $1,200, are stunning.

Rebecca's background in Visual Communications includes fine art, art history, printmaking, photography, graphic design, and advertising. Unlike a real snob, however, Rebecca is all about giving back. Her special donation program, Collage for a Cause, offers an organization the opportunity to auction a psnob accessory in order to receive profit towards the charity or benefit project.

Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 11:59:01 -0700

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is one blessed lady. Not only does she have the pleasure of dating the Orlando Bloom, she's also unearthly gorgeous. At the Victoria's Secret Heavenly Kiss launch party, the Australian brunette chose a Balenciaga floral mini dress that looks like the sassy sister of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring gowns. Although her choice of satin peep-toe pumps is pretty, I switched them out for a more modern pair of lace-up peep toes.

Triton by Tufi Duek orange painted 'Iris' babydoll dress - $159.00	French Connection Lace-Up Peep Toe Sandals - $183.86
Pavé teardrop earring - Silver - $28.00	Cynthia Rowley Handbags Ginny Metallic Oversized Clutch - $295.00

Who Wore It Better? Yves Saint Laurent Brushstroke Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Demi Moore picked up on the brushstroke trend back in December, strutting her stuff in this Yves Saint Laurent cruise collection dress. Even though the reception to Demi in the Stefano Pilati designed dress was more aghast than impressed, Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director Roopal Patel decided to give it another go to fete Missoni's Fall collection at the store's New York location last night. I'm torn because I don't love either of the shoe choices. Who do you think takes the cake?

America's Next Top Models Make Modeling Look Paintful

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:00:22 -0700

The photoshoot in last night's episode of America's Next Top Model looked like a page out of Dolce & Gabbana's Spring '08 ad campaign, only the paint was on the models' faces and not dresses! The girls had to literally put on their game faces and strike a pose with paint dripping down their eyes, cheeks, and mouths - sounds like fun to me. Some were distracted by the wet paint, while others embraced the ooey gooeyness of it all. My favorites were Lauren (left) and Anya (right), even though the judges told her that her eyes weren't strong enough. Have a look and tell me who your favorites were!
