Look Book Love: Pucci's Summer Lovin'

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Pucci was born to be wild. Even the name is fun to say. Matthew Williamson has since departed the house, but what he left was a sizzling Summer collection. Green and blue psychedelic prints abound, with the occasional flirtatious burst of pink. Then there's the one technicolor surprise that has already inspired a party outfit. All these worn by one flexible model has me wondering: Is it Summer yet?

Life's a Beach: All Neon Like

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Kudos to Kate Beckinsale for going all neon like with her louder-than-loud Marc Jacobs handbag. Not one to challenge fashion in her day-to-day, Kate works this bold look aright. When the sun is shining, but you want your bag to shine brighter, keep the rest of your look simple and chic. Dark denim, black and grey are perfect backdrops for a neon bag that screams for attention.

Cheap & Chic: The Power of Hot Pink

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Hot pink is on fire these days. From Mary-Kate Olsen's belt to me at LA Fashion Week to Nicky Hilton's full-fledged obsession with the hue, it's practically everywhere you turn. Of course, it helps that it's traceable from miles away.

Anne Hathaway adopted the trend by sporting bright pink sunnies on the set of her new movie, Bride Wars. Like Anne, limit the hot pink items in your outfit to one, two at most. It's with great joy that I spread a little loud color in your lives. If hot pink is too girlie for you, try neon yellow or green. The neon possibilities are endless.

LnA Zipper Leggings: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:00:22 -0700

So we have mixed feelings about zippers. And, the leggings trend has been around and then some, but these neon LnA Zipper Leggings ($110) have a new twist: an exposed zipper ankle detail. Where do you stand?

Trend Alert: Multicolor

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Spring '08 is one of the most colorful Springs we've witnessed in a while. This may explain why Fall took such a 180 with dark, moody blacks and greys. That's still a ways a way and in the meantime multicolor is shining bright, blindingly bright. Such was the case at Michael Kors' Spring show. Never one to shy away from vivid colors, the style lesson is to keep accessories metallic or neutral. Or, oversized - what a mad hat!

Her Obsession: Nicky Hilton Hearts Hot Pink and Black

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:00:22 -0700

It appears Nicky Hilton has more than a small crush on this bold combination. Let's investigate shall we? We noticed her quite a few times trotting about town in it, sometimes just topping off an all black look with vibrant pink accessories, sometimes rotating in key pieces such as the J. Crew blazer or flippy little mini. It's definitely a fun way to stand out and also a nod to the ongoing brights trend. I'm going to go ahead and say that I much prefer it to her sisters's infamous monochromatic pink outfits.

March Shopping Madness: Go Bold or Go Home

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Here's my new motto: Go bold or go home. Yes, dark clothing is cool, but Spring is a time of rebirth, so why not embrace the brighter side of life in bold and beautiful dresses? There's so many out there just waiting to be paraded around.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a good model for this notion because she doesn't turn her back on brights. At a recent event in Sydney, she was a vision in a pink Roberto Cavalli sweetheart dress. See, not only will you look good, you'll feel good too.

Sneak Peek! New J.Crew Shoes and Accessories Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I'm convinced nothing can take you from Winter to Spring as smoothly as J.Crew's new shoes and accessories collection.

You want bright? You'll get bright alright. Every hue under the rainbow is included in this latest crop. Metallic belts, bubble gum jewels, and Crayola hued flats are some of the offerings. Personally, I want this Bubble Necklace ($150, left), along with this Las Palmas Bag ($295). Take a peek and decide how you'll make your Spring brighter.
