FabSugar — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:26:55 -0800

Hot on the heels of Jimmy Choo for H&M, the first installment of Sonia Rykiel for H&M hits stores Saturday, Dec. 5. If you're looking for some sexy chic lingerie for yourself or somebody special this holiday, H&M will be the place to be. And, the Grand Palais in Paris. Say what? H&M is throwing a launch event at the landmark where Chanel throws its runway shows on Dec. 1, and it will be broadcast online for the world to see. Here's a behind-the-scenes video where Etienne Russo, fashion event creator at H&M, shows us the latest developments for the style spectacle. After the jump, peruse the styles, as modeled by a brunette Lara Stone, Anne Vyalitsyna, and Caroline Trentini. Those black velvet pj pants are on my hit list . . .

Fab Flash: Jonathan Saunders to Show in London Again

FabSugarUK — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:30:53 -0800

September 2009 was a big month for British fashion as London celebrated it's 25th year as a style capital. Many of the UK's biggest names and brands, including Matthew Williamson, Burberry and Jonathan Saunders, brought their designs home creating an amazing buzz around the city.

Although the celebrations are nearly over with, it seems that the experience has left quite the impact on Jonathan Saunders who told Vogue that he intends to stay here for one more season.

He explained, "I just loved showing here in September. It's much easier than New York because I'm still based in London, and I always will be - but I will go back to show in New York next autumn. It's just such a huge country - and nationwide stores like Saks and Barney's give you such huge reach. It's good for a business." I think this is a great boost for London, I wonder if any other designers will follow suit?

FabSugarUK — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:00:08 -0700

Peaches Geldof has been in New York this weekend for fashion week and was spotted at the Preen show supporting the London based designers. I know that Peaches Geldof leaves people divided but I think she has nailed fashion week chic here. I really like the oversized blazer and leggings combo and the ankle boots finish the look off perfectly. See below for a way to copy her style.

Miu Miu Patent hairband (£55)	Cross-body Bag with Lock (£82.95)
Oversized organza flower corsage (£16)	Smart Jackets (£45)
Splendid Siesta Rib V Neck Tee in White (£45)	Cotton Spandex Jersey Legging (£19)	Limited Collection Slouch Ankle Boots (£25)

The Hills Beauty Quiz: Episode Nine, "Mr. Right Now"

BellaSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:00:00 -0800

On last night's episode of The Hills, Kristin and Stacie head to Vegas, baby. Their goal is to forget their LA problems and pick up lots of boys dressed in their skimpy finest. "We're not looking for Mr. Right, we're looking for Mr. Right Now," declares Stacie. However, after noticing an abundance of "douchey" guys, Kristin, in a moment of weakness, calls a mystery man. Is it Justin? Could it be Brody? The next morning, much to our shirtless manjoyment, we discover it's Audrina's ex, Justin. Where exactly is the future heading for these two, anyway?
Speaking of couples, Spencer has suspicions about Heidi tricking him into becoming a father after he finds a pregnancy test. If only there was a birth control pill for men, he'd surely be taking it, he confesses. All sexual tensions aside, how closely were you paying attention to the beauty details of this episode? It's time to take my quiz below to find out, and be sure to check out Geek's tech quiz, along with CelebStyle for some fashion.

Holiday Trendtotting: Malibu Chrismukkah Looks

LilSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:00:00 -0800

'Tis the season for holiday pictures and functions and every mama wants her children to look fashionable and festive. If you plan on spending the holidays in a warm California casual-type climate or tropical destination you'll have to skip the red tights or tube socks. Embrace the sunshine by adding simple seasonal flare like glittery shoes, a sharp tie or ribbons to your lil one's ensemble. Red J. Crew chinos ($19) are comfortable and casual enough your elf can wear them throughout the rest of the school year.

Here are a few of my favorite wallet-friendly and breezy styles (all pieces are under $60) that can be worn all Winter in warm locales.
