eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:00:22 -0700

Full skirts are making a presence in fashionable circles, so I decided to go on a hunt to find you Fab ladies a skirt that you can wear through Fall. This Vintage 70's African Tribal Wrap, waist 25-37", caught my eye, not only because of its unique design, but also because it doubles as a dress. The rich colors are perfect for your autumnal wardrobe. As a skirt, I'd wear it with an olive or black turtleneck; as a dress, I'd do opaque tights and a cropped jacket. The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends on Thursday, September 13. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Full Skirts

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 09:00:33 -0700

You don't need to be full of yourself to pull off a full skirt. Au contraire my fine females. For those who have been hynotized by the voluminous trend, here's a fun way to practice. Allow me to offer you some tips to work the the full skirt:

Make sure you seek a full skirt that is the right waist for your shape. To show off a narrow middle, pick one that sits high on the hips, above the navel. To hide a tummy, have it rest below the navel.
Strike a balance; with volume on bottom, go slim on top. Tuck in your blouse or opt for a slim-cut shirt or jacket.
This look is super-feminine so try to toughen it up with a chunky cuff or a fly belt,
as not to be too goodie goodie.

Rihanna Leads the Way With Amazing Women For Glamour

Molly — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Rihanna stole the show in her dramatic white dress as she and her fellow honorees took the red carpet at last night's Glamour Women of the Year celebration in NYC. Carnegie Hall was brimming with beautiful ladies from Iman to Maria Shriver and Diane von Furstenberg. Catherine Zeta-Jones stood out in blue and had Michael Douglas by her side for support. Rih was just one of a handful of women who were chosen by the magazine, but all eyes were on her - and most of you are loving the look, just the latest in her fashion metamorphosis!

Padma Lakshmi showed off her growing baby bump while one of the evening's honorees Stella McCartney smiled big with her award up on stage where she also had some trouble with her super short skirt. Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama were two of the magazine's other women of the year, though the First Lady didn't attend the event since she was with her husband President Barack Obama visiting with families at Fort Hood. The night was full of inspirational and important females who spoke and mingled, celebrating each other and Glamour's picks. Rihanna has come out strong opening up about her difficult year and what all this means to her – check out Rih's heartfelt speech after the jump.

Katy and Co. Give Us an Amazing MTV EMA Show

PopSugarUK — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:28:25 -0800

After the women and men arrived on the red carpet for the MTV EMAs they all took their seats for the ceremony. Green Day kicked off the show and then Katy Perry did an awesome medley of the Best Song nominees. The show was full of great performances, like Beyonce in red suspenders, Jay-Z's amazing NYC backdrop, Foo Fighters rocking out and Shakira showing off her drumming. Pete Wentz observed he was a foot shorter than Bar Refaeli as they presented an award, and Katy interrupted Kanye's nomination clip in a nod back to the VMAs.

Katy made loads of costume changes, from full skirts with holes, cheeky sheer tops and a West Ham kit with Rusty emblazened on it in honour of her beau's Twitter handle and football team. David Hasselhoff, Backstreet Boys, Brody Jenner, Miranda Cosgrove, Jesse Metcalfe and Juliette Lewis presented awards to winners like U2, who performed at Brandenburg Gate with Jay-Z for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jonas Brothers presented a fan tribute to Michael Jackson, Tokio Hotel brought flames to the stage and Leona Lewis was surrounded by mist. Check out the full list of winners here and videos here!

Who Wore It Better? Azzedine Alaia Gray Full-Skirt Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Usually when two celebrities wear the same dress, they personalize it, say, with varying footwear. Such is not the case for Zoe Saldana and Doutzen Kroes. Both recently wore their Azzedine Alaia's gray full-skirt dress with Alaia's lace-up shoe boots - Zoe at the Star Trek premiere in London and Doutzen at the Cannes Film Festival. They also opted for long earrings, but Zoe chose a chunkier bracelet. Both look outstanding, but who wore it better?

2010 Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:28:46 -0700

Isabel Marant - a Fab obsession - opted for more detail, more color, and more leg for Spring. Per usual, I adore everything, minus the camouflage boots. Marant delivered an eclectic chic mix of frilly skirts and dresses, sumptuous tweed, cool prints, girlie ruffles, city shorts, hot hot pink, and sweet turquoise. Railroad denim is redone: teeny short shorts, patchwork miniskirts, and cutoff jeans. Khaki jackets and vests are far from preppy in silky fabrics and utilitarian styles.Pants are either laid-back loose or sexy tight, shown in silky black, Carmen Kass multicolored stripes, hot pink, and cool gray; this pictured pair of laced up black pants are a new classic, totally unique. The mix is emphasized by diverse details: feathered earrings, silver chain necklaces, dark metal bracelets, a mix of belts, and a knockout fringed and studded boot. Are you obsessed with Isabel, too?

Which is why I went to Express, where I spied this sassy snake print Tulip Wrap Dress ($30, originally $60).
