FabSugar — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:00:51 -0800

Move over Current/Elliott, there's a new denim star in town. Nicky Hilton wore the same torn Jet jeans that Nicole Richie has. LA weather is starting to cool down, so Nicky kept cozy via a slick beanie and black suede boots. Her black and white plaid blouse adds downtown cool, while her black Birkin reels in uptown chic. Nicky's always about contradictions; love it.

Nicole Richie reported to traffic school but she looked more like a girl on a splurging mission. Her orange Hermes Birkin steals the show, though the torn Jet jeans follow closely behind. She continued her beanie run and completed the look with a white blouse, black vest, fringe moccasins, and gold House of Harlow jewels. Like always, Nicole looks cas(ual) with a splash of luxury.

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham and her kids celebrated Brooklyn's birthday at the movies yesterday in LA. Leave it to the posh mommy to wear a Marc Jacobs dress (on sale!) and a Birkin to such a casual place. The frock fits her so well, and I'm glad she tucked her boobies away. How cute is it that little Cruz is matching his mum in the red and black Batman costume?!

Katie Holmes' Oversized Red Haut a Courrois Hermes: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

We all love Hermes bags, but when it's on the verge of swallowing its owner alive, it moves into scary territory. This photo of Katie Holmes departing the Good Morning America studios is an example of how NOT to wear your handbag; the handbag is wearing her! It's so big, she can probably tote Suri in there. Besides the size, I love the bright red color and the timeless style. I just wish it were two sizes smaller. Do you agree?

Victoria Beckham was spotted at Narita Airport in Japan looking put together as usual and carrying her favorite Birkin bag. The long colorblock scarf is refreshing and lends to a casual feel, which we rarely see on Posh. She shows us that blazers are no longer only reserved for the office. We'll forgive her this time for not smiling - she's heading to London to visit David's father who had a heart attack. We wish him well.

Victoria Beckham arrived at LAX from the UK looking extra bright yesterday. She matched her Pucci mini dress perfectly with her pink ostrich Birkin and purple sandals. Although I don't normally advocate a matchy matchy look, it's nice to see Posh looking so cheerful. Now it would be nice if she had cracked a smile to complete the look.

The Look For Less: The Hermes Birkin

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:00:22 -0700

Ah, the Hermes Birkin: a mystery to the common fashionista but a confidant to the stars. In the case of Victoria Beckham, the Birkin is more than a friend - it's a lover! She has multiple colors - black, tan, pink...and these puppies go for $7,000 - $10,000 plus. One would be lucky to get one in a lifetime. We're not that lucky, but today, good fortune is upon us in the form of a Look For Less!

If we can't buy a real Birkin, at least we can pretend with a lookalike. This Brooks Brothers Leather Quarter-Flap Bag, on sale for $350 (originally $698) is pricey but a bargain compared to the real deal. It has the flap, the thin double handles and the Birkin-esque buckle. It looks like a Birkin, it acts like a Birkin...it might as well be a Birkin!

First a Bag, Now a Fragrance Inspired by the Stylish Jane Birkin

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:20:39 -0700

Lyn Harris of Miller Harris London has just released a very vanilla-y, oriental-smelling fragrance inspired by Jane Birkin. Style icon Birkin is a legendary actress, singer, model, and humanitarian, as well as the inspiration behind the legendary Hermes Birkin Bag, which has the distinction of having the longest waiting list for any luxury item in history (about six years at its peak).

It has been Birkin's lifelong dream to create her own scent, and now it's finally here. She worked alongside Harris to ensure perfection and even sketched the William Blake-style nymphs that appear on the bottle and the packaging. Called L'air De Rien, the fragrance is intended to reflect Brikin's passions. The very earthy fragrance can be worn "like a veil over one's body," hence the name, which literally translates to "the air of nothing." It's an exquisite fragrance blended with amber, vanilla, neroli, oak moss, and musks. You can buy the perfume here for £75.00, or call (212) 940-2145 to buy a 3.4-ounce bottle for $180.

On Our Radar: Jane Birkin Designs For Lutz & Patmos

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Lutz & Patmos have been crossing their fingers for this opportunity to arise and now it has; the brand has enlisted British actress and singer Jane Birkin as their latest guest designer.

“She has this really relaxed, nonchalant style without being overtly sexy, which is very sexy,” said Lutz who also mentioned that Birkin, mother to models Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, has played their unofficial muse for quite a while.

Look forward to seeing Birkin's alluring, low-key style translated into organic cashmere sweaters and slim-fitting tanks detailed with raw necklines and crochet. Prices are to be determined.

Fab Read: Bringing Home the Birkin

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

It's many a girl's dream to own a Birkin bag, and it was Michael Tonello's job to make that dream a reality . . . for those who could afford it.

He spent nearly a decade traveling the world in search of Birkins to resell on eBay, and once bought 140 of the coveted bags in a three month period. Tonello's forthcoming memoir Bringing Home the Birkin ($18) chronicles his hunt for the $8,000+ bag, of which Victoria Beckham is said to own 100. "I began to feel like I was a drug dealer," he said. "You know, there are people that will do almost anything to get one of these bags." Intense reading!
