The Look For Less: Phillip Lim Recycled Zipper Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Remember when Kate Bosworth wore this Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress at the Gorgeous and Green benefit in San Francisco? Amazing. In fact, Becki Newton wore the same dress a couple months later – who wore it better? No doubt, this dress is hot, and sold out. Not that I could afford it even when it was available . . .

Forever 21 finally jumped on the bandwagon a year later with this Sequin Silk Dress ($30). Given, it's not nearly as decadent as Lim's version, but the style is similar - sans zippers – and the price is right. Get 'em while they're hot!

Trend Alert: All That Glitters

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Whether you're 6 years old or 30, the holidays are the perfect time to revel in all that glitters. Given, I don't need an excuse to wear such shimmering objects, but maybe you do. Glitter is more understated compared to its shine sisters - sequins and paillettes - and so perfect right now. If I owned this Anya Hindmarch Glitter Clutch ($425), I would flaunt it morning, noon, and night . . .

Sneak Peek! Boutique by Forever 21

Forever 21 has many collections - Twist and Intimates, to name a couple - but none that are vintage-inspired . . . until now. Boutique by Forever 21 is all about that antique touch - elaborate embellishments, soft feathers, and dazzling sequins. Plus, with higher quality fabrics, it all looks authentically secondhand. The new line hasn't hit the racks just yet, but here's a sneak peek to woo you.

Celeb Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble. Her black cardi and bubble mini would be plain on their own, so she made sure to accessorize with fun elements. Her galactic scarf adds a burst of color, while Ray-Bans and tough See by Chloe boots inject a dose of badass. A yummy Chanel bag completes her rad look.

Trend Alert: Jungle Legs

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Step into the rain forest and you will find exotic felines, some Wild Things, and dangling jungle legs. I'm talking about leaf-, animal-, and reptilian-print leggings – are you game? I know, these leggings are kinda crazy, but ridiculously fun, too. Peep Whitney Port for stimulation. During a visit in LA, The City star donned a pair of black and gold leaf-print leggings with a casual sweatshirt and flats for an ultracomfortable, ultrafashionable look. Tip: Always keep your top and accessories to a minimum when going exotic. Let the legs do all the talking.

Celeb Style: Ashley Greene

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Ashley Greene joined fellow celebs at the Tim Burton exhibition at MoMA - lucky! - looking quite fine in a D&G ensemble. Her outfit might look like a plain lace LBD at first glace, but look closer. The New Moon actress paired her decadent lace skirt with a shimmery sheer top and peekaboo bra. For extra spice, she accessorized with a cute ribbon belt and sophisticated pair of lace pumps. Striking.

Celeb Style: Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Kate Hudson will always remain true to her cool Cali style. The Nine star was spotted in NYC wearing a crisp pantsuit, but notice how she added a casual twist by contrasting the streamlined silhouette with a loose black tee, turquoise jewels, and saucy Brian Atwood heels. Dark aviators complete her look - so fresh and so clean.

Trend Alert: Mixed Material Bangles

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We can all agree Bosworth's ray print Proenza Schouler dress is epic. But have you ever realized Kate rarely wears jewelry? When she does, I notice. Her mixed metal bangles add extended cool to her black and ice sheath. She opted for a silver medley, but mixed metals work just as well. The key is to stack 'em and play around with textures and widths. In this case, more is more.

The Look For Less: DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

There's something intriguing about a black jacket that has a hint of shine, like this DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket ($504). It's totally classy and sassy at the same time - a modern Coco Chanel would wear it well. Since most modern Coco Chanels are budget conscious, I hunted down a less expensive version that is twice as nice.

This Forever 21 Jewel Trim Tweed Jacket ($35) has the class and the sass, but not the high price tag. The square-shaped jewels are a bit bigger than the DKNY version, but they provide the perfect sparkle. The cropped sleeves are also fresh. Since the silhouette is on the classier side, I would make it cooler with a pair of lightwash jeans.
