Found: Sarah Harding's David Bowie Aladdin Sane T-Shirt

FabSugarUK — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Girls Aloud band member, Sarah Harding, was spotted wearing this too cool for school Amplified David Bowie Aladdin Sane T-Shirt (£35) leaving the GMTV studios in London a few weeks ago. It always inspires me to see Sarah in her casual edgy attire, and I love how she paired this burn-out tee with a cropped leather jacket, studded belt and low-slung jeans. On a side-note, her hair is looking amazing, and her smoky eyes were a perfect fit with this outfit. What do you think of Sarah's street look?

Sale Alert: JC Penney Rug Sale

CasaSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:59:02 -0700

Those of you who had success with the JC Penney Home Sale we posted about recently might be interested to hear that the retailer is back with its Biggest Rug Sale, offering 30-50% savings on its already low-priced rugs.

I've never been much of a believer in JC Penney, but I have to admit that they've recently been stocking some stylish finds, and all at affordable prices. Their website is also super easy to navigate, saving you from the woes of picking through their department store racks. I'm also psyched to see that the wool shag rug I've been eyeing at other, more expensive retailers is on sale. To see a few of my Penney picks, just click the images below.

Would You Embrace the Browless Trend?

Forget low-brow beauty. No-brow beauty could be the next big thing. Barely-there eyebrows are a reemerging trend. "Think of those looming images of Queen Elizabeth," noted makeup artist Pat McGrath told the New York Times.

McGrath, who was responsible for the no-brow look at the latest Balenciaga show and the light on the brows look at Prada, noted that perhaps it has something to do with the current financial state of the world. "The economic troubles we are facing now open people up to be more daring and willing to don cutting-edge looks," she explained.

Even the latest Givenchy print ad features the look, and it appears to be trickling down to the mainstream. "It’s unifying," fashion consultant Lauren Boyle told the newspaper. "There is an asexual element to no eyebrows. . . It’s an exercise in modernity." I can't help but be reminded of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane years and, of course, '90s model Kristen McMenamy. What about you? Would you go for the browless look, or do you prefer to keep yours just the way they are?

Spring 2009 Trend Alert: Harem Pants

FabSugarUK — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:00:35 -0800

I know it's hard to think about the summer when it's this cold, but I'm trying to stay positive by looking to future trends. The penchant for harem pants has been hanging around in the wings of fashion for a while appearing on the catwalk at Balmain and YSL for Autumn/Winter '08 but looks likely to be even bigger in the Spring. The Aladdin style trousers have already been worn by Naomi Campbell but are soon to be available in brighter shades. They were spotted on the Spring '09 catwalk at Alexander McQueen (left), Betsey Johnson (right) and Chloe (center) to name but a few.

The trend has now hit the High Street with great options available for under £50. It's best to choose a slightly cropped pair as they will be more flattering and team with a tight fitting top or crop top if you're feeling brave. This exaggerates the volume and balances the shape slightly. See below for some examples available now.

V Hem Hareem Trouser - £22.00	Hareem Trouser - £40.00
Recycled Silk Hareem Pant - £60.00	Alexander McQueen Crepe harem pants - £484.00
Tapered Leg Hareem Trouser - £32.00

Halloween How-To: David Bowie

BellaSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:00:52 -0700

If you're in the mood for a truly rock-and-roll costume, people don't come much cooler than David Bowie. The androgynous, glam-rock look of his Aladdin Sane years takes a bit of energy to pull off, but it's worth the effort. MAC senior makeup artist Louise Zizzo, who did the Jem makeup tutorial, shows us how to get this space-rocker look.

For a list of colors used in this transformation, read more.

Brows: Louise used glue stick to tame the eyebrows and to prepare them to be covered with concealer.
Face: Contour the face with powder blush in Raizin or Fleur Power. Use a fluffy brush to give skin an airbrushed effect.
Design: Sketch the design with a light brow pencil. Louise used Chromacake to fill in the red and blue, but you can get a similar look with other products. Try the red part of Danger Zone eye shadow or red lipstick (just blot loose powder on top to set the color). For the blue portion of the face, Freshwater eye shadow should work. Using an angled brush like the excellent 266 brush, define the line with Fluidline in Blacktrack.
Lips: Use fingers to dab red lipstick on the lips, focusing in the middle portion. The idea is to add a hint of color without covering the lips entirely.

Fab Flash: Marc Jacobs' Arabian Nights Christmas Party

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 12:00:22 -0800

Marc Jacobs' annual Christmas party is legendary, and last night's Arabian Nights-themed bash was no exception.

It's always a guessing game to see what ridiculousness Marc will wear next: for his past Christmas parties, he has dressed up as everything from a ketchup bottle to a pigeon. This year, he decided to take a stance against a major fashion faux-pas - still staying in Arabian Nights theme, of course - as a camel toe. Later, he shed the bulky fashion no-no for an Aladdin costume to go with boyfriend Jason Preston's Abu get-up. Love it!
