Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Go kEsLy06, it's your birthday. Well, her birthday was actually last week, but she still looks amazing nonetheless. The metallic mama celebrated her special day wearing a leopard print top and shimmery gunmetal miniskirt. Can you believe she got it for $8? What a steal! To complete her shine, the fashionphile adorned her feet with a pair of dark silver heels. Hope you had a lot of fun.

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to kEsLy06!

I Love Your ShopStyle: Metallics and Pastels

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Sachastar is a master at mixing and matching. While many don't think of metallics and pastels as a harmonious pair, she does. Check out the creatively cool ensembles she put together for us to enjoy. It combines a hard-rock metallic jacket and bag with prettily soft top and bracelet. A little bit of this, a little bit of that - magic.

Spring Peek: Metallica

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Metallics are nothing new. But blinding beading, luxe fabrics, sheer sheen, Lurex lovin', and sequin overload, were runway dominant. Think of it as an evolution; this season's offerings are far from shy, they are as heavy hitting as Metallica. In-your-face, it's time to shine shine shine.

Can you refuse Versace's gold and silver beaded mini dress? I didn't think so. Yves Saint Laurent's forest green sequin jumper may be overboard for some, but I wouldn't kick it out of my bed. Lastly, I die for Karl Lagerfeld's silver liquid gown. Metal heads, are you with me?

Celebrity Style: Ivanka Trump

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:00:22 -0800

The majority of you preferred Ivanka over Mischa in Alberta Ferretti, so let's give Ivanka another whirl. I secretly adore her: she's so elegant and beautiful. And look at those legs! They go on for days. Here she is at the MoMA Film Benefit Gala Honoring Baz Luhrmann in a metallic-bronze mini dress, super-sheer hose, and smart black accessories. It wouldn't be Ivanka without gorgeous jewels - see her peachy chandelier earrings. A soft updo lets her face, dress, and legs shine.

J.Crew University Pants: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

I usually wear metallics up top, but these J. Crew University Pants ($149, originally $298) have wooed me to look the other way. I'm smitten with the tailored shape and liquid silver finish. Timeless yet funky. What do you say?

Trend Alert: Gilded Ladies

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Want to be a solid gold hit at the holiday soiree? Do like these gilded ladies and do it up in sparkling, golden-hued gowns. I would like to point out that all three of these starlets are blondes - brunettes and redheads can shine equally as strong. Elizabeth Banks is straight up glam in her Kaufman Franco slit-front gown, Richie went retro in her heavily beaded Reem Acra, and Jessica Biel outshined in a strapless Oscar de la Renta column. I included gilded cocktail options for us, it's more pared down, unless your hot self has a fabulous upcoming red carpet to grace.

Who Wore It Better? Burberry Metallic Tiered Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I just expressed how stunning Amy Smart looked in this Burberry metallic tiered dress she wore to the reopening party for Burberry Beverly Hills. Another actress, Rose Byrne, also recently wore the dress to a red carpet gala in NYC. Ooh, competition! While Amy opted for the brand's thistle bangle and T-strap sandals with metal stud heel, Rose wore simple black pumps and the Swarovski jeweled necklace we saw all over Burberry's Fall runway. Both ladies do justice to the dress, but who wore it better?
