Ready-to-Wear Designers Delve Into Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

It's raining baubles: Thakoon, Alice + Olivia, and Milly have announced expansions into jewelry.

Thakoon Panichgul has been swooped up by Japanese fine jewelry brand, Tasaki, to serve as its creative director. “My goal is to approach jewelry design in the same manner that I approach clothing: always move forward but respect the past,” said Panichgul.

Alice + Olivia received some help from jewelry extraordinaire, Karen Erickson, to design a limited-edition jewelry collection set to debut in Spring. The line, ranging from $278 to $393, is funky and modern - check out this rad leather floral bangle.

Milly designer, Michelle Smith, took inspiration from her Spring line to create Lucite necklaces, gold-plated bracelets, and colorful enamel cuffs. “From the time I was a girl, I was always into vintage jewelry. It is a passion of mine, so I thought it would be a great addition to the Milly collection,” said Smith. Her collection retails from $75 to $325, and will also launch in Spring. Bring on the bling!

Guess the Stylin' Necklace!

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Ask any homie and they'll tell you I love necklaces. Long, short, beaded, studded - I own them all. Not only do they instantly add spice to your attire, they're also a fun way to show off your sparking personality. When I'm feeling extra cheerful, I layer on the colored beads; on gloomier days, I sport dark chains. Are you on top of your necklace game? Take my quiz to see if you can guess the stylin' necklace!

Trend Alert: Shine in Statement Earrings

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Instead of donning the per usual necklace this Summer, I suggest you take B's cue and shine in statement earrings. These in-your-face adornments look best alone and without distraction. Beyonce's resin and coral hoops from Alexis Bittar are amazing, but if they're too bling for your taste, check out my favorite style: chandelier earrings. Oh, I also like to wear my hair up with these beautiful baubles for supreme sass.

March Shopping Madness! Mixmaster

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:00:22 -0700

There any many ways to approach mixmastering. You can experiment with offbeat color combinations - my obsession is navy and bright orange right now. You can mix prints: ethnic and stripes, dots and flowers, colorblock and metallics. You can dabble with silhouettes, a long trench with short shorts sounds really fun. Really, it's all about the mix and having fun. Peep Topshop's Spring lineup for inspiration. I've assembled a mass of some of my current favorites, some funky, all fun. Want a fresh closet without spending a dime? Try conquering being a mixmaster and play with unlikely pairings. You just might see fashion - and life - in a whole new light.

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Try to pry your eyes away from Ivanka's beautiful face and focus on her jewelry. Her tassel necklace is perfection defined. The clustered strands add a swinging, vintage quality to her ensemble, and look how it contrasts with her striking blue top.

These fun confections, which were in abundance at the Emmy Awards, come in all types of splendor. Go native and opt for a multi-colored beaded rendition, or keep it classic with a golden chain. Sway away . . .
