Look of the Day: Subtle Chains

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Bellakoko soaked in the sun today wearing a refreshing palette of navy, cream, and turquoise. I'm smitten with the nautical vibe, but what really caught my eye were the subtle chains around her ankles. I like how she balanced out the metal toughness with nude platform pumps - so fresh.

Here's what she has on:

Shoes: PedderRed
Ankle Chains: Dear Bearcat
Necklace: Dear Bearcat
Tee: CottonOn
Skirt: Topshop
Cardigan: Mango

Congrats to bellakoko!

Trend Alert: Couture Details

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 . . .

Trend Alert: Glorious Gray Clutches

Yes, Kate Beckinsale and hubby Len Wiseman are a handsome couple, but so are the star and her glorious gray clutch. This neutral hue gives off a casual yet refined vibe without taking the spotlight away from an outfit. I love wearing my gray clutch with bright ensembles for extra contrast, but it also works with lighter tones. Just look at Kate for inspiration: her clutch plays the perfect supporting role to her silver J.Mendel dress - simply dazzling.

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller proves that a running a simple errand (ie. walking her cute doggie) is an opportunity to show off her suave styling skills. The cutie kept warm in NYC donning a gray fluffy furry layered over a Topshop knit sweater - so cozy! Down under, the actress kept things sleek in a pair of black skinny jeans and funky black wedge boots. Ultra Fab.

Chloe Green Wants Her Own Clothing Line

FabSugarUK — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:30:46 -0800

You are probably familiar with the name Chloe Green. She's the daughter of Arcadia boss Sir Philip Green and made a brief appearance in Topshop New York in 24 Hours. She's only 18, but since dropping out of her A levels has been living in Mayfair with her father and learning all about the fashion retail industry.

This weekend, father and daughter spoke to The Sunday Times Magazine about their relationship and working together. Sir Philip explained that although his children are very privileged they understand hard work. "What would make me angry is if Chloe thought she didn't have to work. This is a pretty unique family business, and it could become a very long-term family business. They're going to have to earn it, not be given it."

Chloe has certainly taken an interest in the family business and regularly attends meetings with her father. She explained, "Fashion isn't all glitz and glamour, and I'd never want to be a model. Kate [Moss] and Naomi [Campbell] are always telling me what a tough career it is."

She added that a clothing line wasn't out of the question. "Dad often says that I should do something for Topshop. Hopefully, one day I might design a Chloe Green for Topshop range. I've not really thought it through yet. But I don't think it's asking too much."

Fab UK's November Must Haves

FabSugarUK — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:30:07 -0800

Ever since the clocks went back last weekend there has been a definite feeling of winter in the air. Temperatures have begun to drop and it's getting dark earlier every day. Not all is lost though as the colder months require thicker more luxurious fabrics, and with Christmas just around the corner it's time to start considering partywear. Click through to see which items I'm lusting after this month.

Kate Moss for Topshop, Christmas 2009 Launches

FabSugarUK — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Kate Moss launched her twelfth collection for Topshop this week and starred in the look book. The latest capsule line includes nightwear, partywear and lingerie.

The kimono, which was one of my favourite pieces, has already sold out, but there are plenty more oriental inspired pieces to add to your wardrobe.

I think the price point is quite high (the oriental slip is £50), but there are some fun pieces like the sequined mini dress (£130). What do you think of Kate's latest effort?

Sneak Peek! Kate Moss For Topshop, Christmas '09

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Set your alarms, ladies, the Kate Moss For Topshop Christimas '09 Collection drops in stores and online tomorrow. The Super models what you have to look forward to: sexy, moody frocks, airy blouses, lots of sheerness, sequins, and belts. Oh, and the debut nightwear collection, which she plans on wearing out. "I might wear some of the PJ tops out as a layer, instead of a shirt, but probably not as a set." I think I'll take Kate's lead and wear some of the nighties for a night out.

See more of Kate in her latest line.

Trend Alert: Stormy Prints

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:30:22 -0700

My new go-to cocktail is a Dark and Stormy. Imagine yourself in a dim dive, drinking one of those bad boys, in a stormy print. Tough stuff. Kristen Bell upped her stormy stuff by wearing this marble-print Vena Cava layered over a printed tank and studded Louboutins. And yet, she doesn't appear, too, intimidating. She softened things up with her killer smile and golden locks. Whether a thunderstorm or lightening strike, stormy prints are electric.
