Trend Alert: Sheer Sleeves

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Sheer sleeves will surely keep you motivated to work out this Fall. In fact, I can't think of a better way to show off those hard earned toned biceps. Daring slim sleeve cuts, like this racy Derek Lam Zip Front Dress ($1,650), emote a more '80s vibe while billowy romantic sleeves, like the one January Jones recently wore allude a more modern aura. Take your pick . . .

Feel Floral and French Thanks to Paul & Joe

BellaSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:02:42 -0700

In another life, I'd be a fabulous French femme who strolled the streets of Paris in simple but chic outfits. An Isabel Marant dress here, a sequined Vanessa Bruno tote there, and a Paul & Joe coat to top it all off - so French, so chic. Unfortunately, not only am I not even vaguely French, I also can't afford the steep prices of those clothes.

What I can splurge on, however, feels just as French without making such a hard hit on my pocketbook. Paul & Joe Beauté has the cutest limited-edition Starlet palette ($38). It's a trio of super-versatile shadows: a slightly sparkly light mauve, a smoky dark amethyst, and a matte deep purple. So whether I want to do a nonchalant, "I'm shopping in the Marais" nearly-nude eye look or a sexier, "It's 2 a.m. and we've just left Nouveau Casino" eyeliner-heavy one, this floral compact makes me feel like a gallic gal - even if my morning croissant isn't quite authentic.

Trend Alert: Spread Your Wings

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

The Dark Knight has stylishly swept Hilary Duff off her feet, and if you're feeling her look, join in the action and spread your wings Batman-style. Batwing cuts are the perfect transition piece for dwindling Summer months, and when worn in dark colors with booties - a la Hilary Duff - give you a fun, witchy vibe.

Product Review: Paul & Joe Refreshing Leg Emulsion

BellaSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:00:20 -0700

Last month, Paul & Joe launched a few new nail and body products for Summer 2008. Of the bunch, my favorite product is the Refreshing Leg Emulsion ($30). This citrusy-mint scented lotion is actually formulated with oil to penetrate deep into your skin, however, it dries to a powdery, velvety-soft finish. It's cool - and I mean that literally, because it also contains baby peppermint leaves and elderflower extract to create a cooling effect on your legs.

If you really work it into your skin (as directed), it helps to reduce some of the swelling and inflammation that tends to occur in the heat and humidity of the Summer. In turn, it will also help improve the rate of absorption and your blood circulation.

It goes on super-creamy and has an intense sheen that gives your legs a healthy-looking glow. Within a few moments, you'll feel a slight tingle and a pleasant coolness as the air mixes with the lotion.

This French brand has recently become available in the U.S. You can order it from any of these locations or you can call the Bergdorf Goodman Paul & Joe counter directly at 212-872-2759.

For easy-to-apply, three-step directions on how to give your legs a therapeutic massage using Paul & Joe's Leg Emulsion, read more.

STEP 1: Use anywhere from one to two teaspoons of emulsion on each leg. Start at your feet and spread it evenly over your leg using the palm of your hand.
STEP 2: Twist your hand from your calves to the front of your leg in upwards motion, all the while applying a good amount of pressure.
STEP 3: As a finishing touch, push on the various pressure points in your legs (see the illustration below) and slide your palm from your ankle to your knee in an upwards motion.

Life's a Beach: So Fresh and So Clean

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

There really is only one season you can wear white, on the feet that is. In the Fall or Winter, white sandals just don't feel right. As always, you can prove me wrong. But you have to admit Heidi Montag's white Chanel flats are mighty cute, admittedly, so is the rest of her sleek outfit. Heidi knows how it feels to be so fresh and so clean; you may also recall the dope white Jimmy Choos she wore to the MTV Movie Awards. Enough about Heidi, white sandals provide a blank canvas for just about any look. It's so easy.

Trend Alert: Shake Your Groove Thing

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 08:00:22 -0700

There's nothing better to shake your groove thing in than a disco-inspired jumpsuit. It's slightly different than a romper with shorts in that it's less resort-like and more dressy. We touched on the subject earlier this year because we had a hunch it would become a major Spring craze. And we were right. Emmanuelle Chriqui (in Stella McCartney), Rihanna (in Sonia Rykiel), Gwyneth Paltrow (in Stella McCartney), Diane Kruger, Helena Christensen . . . all these ladies have already shaken their groove thang, and you should, too.

The Look for Less: Paul & Joe Crepe Short Jumpsuit Tuxedo

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

I'm jumping for jumpers this season - kinda corny, but it's true. They're a good alternative to wearing shorts or dresses and they're so much fun! This Paul & Joe Ruffle Crepe Short Jumpsuit Tuxedo ($185, originally $370) is super cute and unique. I love the ruffle detailing but it's a bit pricey for something that's not necessarily dressy and yet not casual enough to wear often. What's a girl to do?

This Forever 21 Abigail Jumpsuit ($30) is the answer to my shopping woe. The cut is dead on and the white top gives the jumper a crisp, Parisian feel - mission accomplished.

Trend Alert: Off Shoulder Styles

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:00:08 -0700

What's your favorite body part? On you, I mean. One of mine is my shoulders. I've been told they're, you know, sexy. You would think I would be partial to off shoulder styles then. Well, I am. They are dead sexy, no? The only buzz kill is the whole what-kind-of-bra-to-wear-with-it dilemma. No matter, it's decided: These are sexy, my shoulders are sexy, so won't you join me and be sexy too?
