Look of the Day: Denim on Denim

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Mkoesnadi pulls off denim on denim so effortlessly. Her ode to the '80s is comprised of an acid-wash jean jacket and a splattered DIY skirt - hot stuff. Black booties, scarf, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers finish off her old-school vibe. Is that a Gucci bag I spy in the background?

Here's what she has on:

Denim Jacket: Unknown
Tank: U2
Miniskirt: Armani Exchange
Bangles: Forever 21
Ankle Boots: Zara
Sunnies: Rayban Wayfarers
Scarf: Unknown
Bag: Unknown

Angel Llanos caught my attention me with her casual cool 'fit. If you want to see denim done right, look. It's by no means a complicated ensemble - gray tee, black shorts, flats - but the denim jacket is the cherry on top. J'adore the rolled-up sleeves.

Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Sometimes you don't have to put much thought into a outfit for it to look damn good. Take a look at Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr after leaving a nail salon in LA. It probably took her all of five minutes to throw together her look but the outcome is incredibly cute. All you need is a fitted black maxi, a jean jacket, a funky bag, and some cool shades. Of course, it helps to have Miranda's slammin' figure.

Trend Alert: Denim Jacket

FabSugarUK — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:00:34 -0700

So you've got a good selection of jeans, denim leggings and a retro shirt, and now here is another denim product to add to the collection; the denim jacket. This vintage item has experienced a revival of late as celebs such as Rihanna and Chloe Sevigny have been rocking the look.

It is best to get a jacket that looks really worn to avoid looking too neat so either check out a few vintage shops or opt for a distressed style. They look great against neutral colours, for example a neutral jumpsuit or dress, or with leggings for a rock chick look.

I wear mine over pretty Summer dresses on cool evenings as an alternative to a leather biker. Try to avoid wearing double denim as it could remind people too much of B*Witched!

Celeb Style: Kate Moss

Miss Moss in fur - how Fab. Kate walked out of a London restaurant wearing one of her favorite fur chubbies. Underneath she kept it basic: black tank, black cardigan, and black jeans. But her scuffed-up tan buckle boots and fringe Genevieve Jones bag are not-so basic. Notice the tiny emerald earrings that dress her earlobes and her prominent cocktail ring.

Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!

Pair ink dark jeans with a light denim jacket, and vice versa.
Make it look like you mismatched your denim on purpose, like at D&G Spring '08 (pictured).
Look to trousers, blazers, and sharp cuts that will translate your mixed denim ensemble as modern.
Don't forget to check out the plethora of fun colored jeans available, too. The possibilities are endless!

Most of you despised this idea, but are you willing to try it out now?

eBay Find of the Week

While leather jackets toughen up your look, denim kinds cool you down. Every now and again, when you're feeling the hippie vibe, consider this Vintage '70s Cropped Denim Jacket, XS. I envision it perfectly complementing a floral mini dress as well as a sexy LBD. Either way, a denim jacket is a great way to make a look a smidgen more nonchalant.

The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends on Wednesday, June 4. Good luck and happy bidding!

Joel McHale and Ken Jeong Share Details About Community!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:00:29 -0800

Community is one of those shows where you know the cast has an awesome time together. So I wasn't all that surprised to hear stars Joel McHale (Jeff) and Ken Jeong (Senor Chang) fawn over one another when they recently sat down with reporters. I've been waiting to see these two cement their friendship on-screen too, and it sounds like I'll get my wish tonight. Both actors shared a few tidbits from the episode, plus thoughts on Chevy Chase, the possible Jeff and Annie romance, and their mutual admiration.

Joel on Jeff and Annie's kiss last week: I haven't seen any scripts where it'll be revisited, because I'll probably be arrested, but believe me it was good times. I mean it's Alison Brie from Mad Men!
Joel on Jeff's relationship with Britta: His first initial reaction was, hey there's a really hot chick. And she has like an endless, you know, she has all the denim jackets that you can find. And so I think that was his first reaction. And then at the complete rejection of him he was like, ah, a challenge. And then as he got to know her, she was so much more than he expected, which was she was a totally grounded cool person...So that intrigued him, and she really is I think the moral compass of the show.

To hear more from Joel and Ken, including what's in store for this week's episode, read more.

Ken on Senor Chang's constant power trip: There is something to be said about being in a room where you have students hanging on every word. And it's definitely, as a teacher I think it's an ego rush, you know. You're definitely feeding off of that. It's really the only time in life you get to have a room where people are hanging on your every word and learning from it, and you have a power to influence.
Ken on tonight's episode: You really get to see why Senor Chang has the chip on his shoulder that he does. And some of that involves love and some of that involves friendship, and you really get to see more of the back story of Chang...And it's the relationship with Joel. Joel is really the guy that sees how [Chang's] character comes to be, and why he's developed all these traits along the way.
Joel on working with Chevy Chase: It's like working with Nolan Ryan. He's older than everybody, he's got the best stories. He has worked way more than any of us, but he still throws it harder than any of us...We have a lot to learn from that guy and it's so weird to be walking around with this kind of icon and legend that, you know, you grew up with.
Joel on Ken: Ken he will invent comedy where there is not comedy. He creates it...He's a damn good performer and you pray to God you get him in your movie or your TV show because it's like having a secret weapon.
Ken on Joel: I'm amazed at how Joel handles everything. He's always just grace under pressure this guy, because we'll be working, you know, on a Wednesday or middle of the week, and then he's got to do the Soup or another show and it's just how he switches gears is effortless. I just marvel at that. I'm like dude, how do you do it?
Ken on Community hitting its stride: I think that my wife has a good theory about sitcoms...They're like fine wine, you give them a little bit of time, and they just keep tasting better and better......The audience gets more familiar with the characters, the writers get more familiar characters, and so do the actors.

Do you like the theory that comedies get better with time? I think Community has gradually improved week after week, don't you agree? (Don't forget to watch tonight!)

Trend Alert: Collarless Jackets

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:40:56 -0800

Here is a retro silhouette that is way cute. These little collarless jackets whisper Rachel Bilson and Zooey Deschanel. The unfussy neckline allows what's underneath to shine through. It also ads an element of structure to a look. I like a bright colored tunic top layered underneath the grey or black ones. Or, be bold, and layer it underneath the happy winter yellow one. Check out my designer and non-designer collarless cuties below:

Rebecca Taylor cropped linen yellow jacket, $300.

Forever 21 Chloe Cape Jacket, $22.80.

Banana Republic cotton/linen swing jacket, $128.

Fab Site: ShopStyle.com

Warning: for extreme web shoppers (um, me) this site could be detrimental. Launched in January, ShopStyle is a mecca for finding that specific thing you're searching for. Some people have shopping lists for the grocery store, I have them for the season ahead.

Here is a high-style search engine just for fashion. You can search an item and quickly and easily browse the matches from more than 30 sites - some of my most favorite ones like Shopbop and Forever 21. The images are clear - they kind of look like our very own Fab Finds - and a pop up menu appears when you graze over the image, providing additional product info; although this is a little irritating sometimes when you're trying to look at something else. You can search for women, men, teens, kids & baby, and shoes all separately; you can refine your search by brand, store, sale or price.

As well, you can set up a Stylebook where you can put all your picks, or build outfits. There isn't a whole lot of these to browse, but they are growing and I have a feeling you'll soon be able to see a plethora of users looks. One super cool thing: you can search Stylebooks by body type - very handy!

So, I searched for "white denim jacket" and the following results popped up:

There were some more, but this is a good representation. As you can see there are many choices that are, in fact, white denim jackets - but a few strays. While I didn't find a keeper, this definitely got my search going.

Check out ShopStyle and let me know your thoughts! I'm curious.
