Rihanna: A Fashion Metamorphosis

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Enter into the world of Rihanna. Since 2005, the Barbadian beauty caught my attention with her catchy songs, and even more so, her megawatt style. When Rihanna first hit the scene, she stayed within the sexy singer realm via colorful body-con frocks and separates. As the years went along, she took a turn towards high fashion. After attending numerous runway shows, Rihanna developed an edgier sense of dressing - who can forget those star shaped pasties - and started donning clothes and accessories from the likes of Chanel, Alexander Wang, and Rodarte, to name a few. Despite a tough year, the songstress continues to impress me with her daring in-your-face ensembles and experimental hairdos. Let's take a look at Rihanna's astounding fashion metamorphosis.

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Believe me, if I could afford Diane's divine Chanel Couture dress, I would swoop it up in a heartbeat. Sigh, back to life, back to reality. The good thing is, we don't have to pay a runway price to wear such beautiful couture details. All you have to do is look for unique, extravagant embellishments via strong shoulders, unique prints, pouf skirts, lavish sequins, and fancy detailing. Check out my keen picks for the time being, until you train your eye . . .

Reader Review of the Day: Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer

BellaSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:02:29 -0800

You all know how much I love a good Chanel lip gloss, but I hadn't tried Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Luminous Satin Lip Lacquer ($32), so I was excited to see that reader gooz1231 had. Her review, though, makes me want to head down to the store and try one right now. She says:

"This lip product from Chanel (think a hybrid between a lipstick and gloss) is absolutely amazing. It is moisturizing and highly pigmented with a nice gloss. In addition, it wears pretty well. While at $32 it is a little pricey, the quality is unlike any other lip product I've tried, both high-end and low-end. I highly recommend this and suggest anyone to splurge on one of these babies."

Leighton Meester: A Fashion Metamorphosis

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

When Leighton Meester steps onto the red carpet, she's a fashion force to be reckoned with. The Gossip Girl's ensembles get more and more refined with each event. Sometimes she's super sexy, others ultra femme, and from time to time a full-on movie star in floor-grazing gowns. She's constantly switching it up, that's why she's refreshing to follow. But such was not always the case. When Leighton first hit the red carpet in 2003, her uniform of choice was jeans and fancy tops. A lot has changed since then, including her hair color. Take a trip down memory lane to see Leighton's impressive fashion metamorphosis.

Karl Lagerfeld Heads to Argentina for Spring Ad Campaign

FabSugarUK — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:30:15 -0700

Tis the season for new ad campaigns as head designers and their muses line up the best photographers and get snapping for Spring 2010. Earlier this week, I told you that Natalia Vodianova looks likely to be the star of the new Yves Saint Laurent campaign, and now I can reveal another as Claudia Schiffer bags Chanel.

The London based supermodel flew to Argentina last week with Karl Lagerfeld to begin shooting the Spring campaign along with Argentine model Iván de Pineda, Freja Beha Erichsen and, of course, Baptiste Giacobini.

Pineda explained to WWD, “Tango, elegance, antiques, and good sunlight. They’re amazed about the size of Buenos Aires, the beauty, the cuisine, the great cultural offer and especially the buildings and architecture.” Although the official images are yet to be seen, I can share pictures of Claudia in a gaucho hat in a traditional Argentine house. The entourage spent a week in the South American country.

Can't Get Your Hands on Chanel Jade Green? You've Still Got Options.

BellaSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:00:24 -0700

Every year, there seems to be a highly coveted nail polish shade or two that hits the market with a frenzy. One example is last year's Metro Chic ($8) from Sephora by OPI, a perfectly muted smoky purple. Another example is Chanel's Le Vernis Nail Color in Vamp, so popular, in fact, it even has its own Wikipedia entry.

This year, there's a big to-do with another Chanel shade. The brand's Jade ($25), a green with a slightly hazy undertone, sold out almost immediately after it launched in September. In fact, it's now going for some pretty crazy prices on eBay - upwards of $117. Wowza. But that doesn't have to stop you from wearing an almost-identical match. While some of the options below might not be exact replicas, they're pretty close. Have you tried any of these Jade Green dupes yourself? Which ones are your favorites?

Chanel's Barn Bonanza!

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Karl does country. It's impossible to guess Karl's next move. And who would have thought it would be to the barn? His Spring collection, replete with stars and spectacles, lightened the mood. The clothes were frilly, feminine, and colorful, adorned with thematic accessories like Chanel clogs, flowers in the hair, and drippy jewels. Prince was there - random - and so were Chanel devotees Rihanna, Claudia Schiffer, Dasha Zhukova, and Clemence Poesy. With Karl playing a part, and Lily Allen serenading, it looked like a thrilling fashion hoedown.
