Trend Alert: Crisp Cobalt

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Victoria Beckham was probably so proud to see Blake Lively donning her stunning creation at the Saks Fifth Avenue soiree in NYC. It doesn't take much for the Gossip Girl to shine, but I can't help but be blinded by the crisp cobalt hue. This bold blue is once again popular, and I can see why. It's simultaneously daring, yet sleek, and complements every skin tone.

Try this bright blue on a dress, like Blake does, or pair it with neutral separates. I've always been a fan of wearing it with gray for a downtown sophistication.

Trend Alert: The Cold Shoulder

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Back in June, when I met Donna Karan, she did a lot of shoulder talk. Her gorgeous Fall collection consisted of two shoulder opposites: the structured shoulder and the cold shoulder. We've been seeing a lot of shoulder love thanks to celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Rihanna and due to designers Balmain and Marc Jacobs. And while superstars looks awesome in the regurgitated '80s silhouette, in the real world, it's a tad unwearable. That's where the cold shoulder comes in. Equal parts sexy and breezy, instead of padding those shoulders, let them break free.

The Look For Less: Black Halo Strapless Jumpsuit

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Jumpsuits are a tricky trend to pull off but if you do it right, the results can be ravishing. The '70s-inspired cut is ideal for sophisticated nighttime festivities, and I love how it instantly elongates legs! For example, this Black Halo Strapless Jumpsuit ($390) can be accessorized with a fun belt for a snazzier look or à la carte with decadent baubles. The options are endless, but sadly the price is too much too handle.

This Forever 21 Trouser Jumpsuit ($30) is much more reasonable. The sweetheart neckline is a nice detail and it also comes with a belt - what a steal. Word of advice: When wearing pant jumpsuits, lean toward a looser, leaner fit.

Celebrity Style: Eliza Dushku

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

GQ's Men of the Year celebration brought out a gaggle of gorgeous stars but Eliza Dushku stood out. The actress doesn't do many red carpets - it's nice to see her fresh face. For the occasion, Eliza sported Black Halo's pleated bodice cami dress, which fits her flawlessly. But what I'm more in love with are her gray suede ruffled Prada shoes. Sigh. Way to subtly match the dress with the shoes with the eyeshadow.

Nepi - $25.00	Vineyard Pearl Drops - $28.00

Trend Alert: Black Tie Not Optional

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Whether with chain necklaces piled on top, as our example Lindsay Price flaunts, or simply untied, this invitation reads black tie not optional. The black tie detail is the pivotal player here, delivering a masculine/feminine message. Not so into bows? Here is a laid-back alternative. If you exercise your option, do like Lindsay and pile on some glitzy bling, and keep the rest sexy and sleek.

Which Vanessa Hudgens High School Musical Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:11:22 -0700

Vanessa Hudgens took the opportunity to show everyone her fashion sense while on her worldwide promotion of High School Musical 3. There's no doubt the young actress exudes a fun attitude on the red carpet. Her variety of frocks ranged from printed maxis to leg baring hemlines. I like how Vanessa took risks with different looks and styles. A budding fashionista? Time will tell, but for now, let me know which High School Musical look was your favorite.

The Look For Less: Black Halo One-Shoulder Mini Jackie

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

One way to show off your Grecian prowess is in a sexy one-shoulder dress. I like how this Black Halo One-Shoulder Mini Jackie Dress ($345) incorporates the sassy with the sophisticated. The skinny belt adds a nice feminine touch and I adore the straight bust line. One-shoulders fade in and out of the fashion cycle, so I would like to spend a lot less on this trend.

This Arden B. One-Shoulder Pencil Dress ($118) works well with my budget. It has the same shape and neckline, and I like the pleated foldover bust. The belt is black instead of white, but I can always switch it out.

Look of the Day: Gray Matter

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Does gray matter? Of course it does. This seasonless hue is one of my favorite colors. I like how sandra werner made her outfit more casual by pairing her fitted skirt with a loose sweater. It looks haphazardly thrown on and effortlessly cool.

Here's what she has on:

Sweater: Lily McNeal
Tank: YAYA
Skirt: Black Halo
Shoes: Miu Miu
Belt: Vince
Necklace: Unknown

Congrats to sandra werner!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!.

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 12:00:08 -0700

Speaking of shaking your groove thang, Sarah Jessica Parker showed up to the Late Show With David Letterman wearing a sophisticated black strapless jumpsuit. She kept her accessories simple in order to draw more attention to the great jumpsuit. Smart! Prior to her wardrobe change, she arrived in casual jeans and sexy-as-hell Pedro Garcia suede slingbacks that I've been eyeing for a while. And it wouldn't be SJP unless she did something a little off kilter, like folding only one of her jean legs!
