Choo, 24/7

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:48:05 -0700

Hot off the heels of their H&M Fall look book, Jimmy Choo has more shoe news. Goodie. The brand is launching Choo 24/7, a capsule collection of bestsellers updated with new colors and finishes. The 28-styles will be revealed this week at Milan Fashion Week then ready for the taking in January in Jimmy Choo stand-alone units and high end department stores. These won't be any cheaper than existing Choos - prices range from $395 for a simple flat to $1,200 for the Glenys gladiator stiletto (pictured). However, Jimmy Choo’s founder and president, Tamara Mellon, can help you rationalize that purchase: “We think of these shoes as investment pieces, timeless pieces, part of a wardrobe that every woman needs."

London Fashion Week, Spring 2010: Temperley London

FabSugarUK — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:00:18 -0700

Alice Temperley took inspiration from the circus for Spring 2010. The collection, like last season, was shown as a presentation rather than a catwalk show (which you can see below). She looked at all aspects from the tattooed lady, to trapeze artists to the ring master and these are all represented throughout. Examples include top hats, tailed jackets, and tattooed dresses. The first ever Temperley footwear line is being launched for Spring with studded gladiator sandals, flat jazz pumps and killer heels.

For more images from the collection and the video presentation, just keep reading.

Fab Ad: Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga

FabSugarUK — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:00:08 -0700

Jennifer Connelly has returned as the face of Balenciaga this Autumn after a brief hiatus. She last appeared in the campaign in Spring 2008 in an impressive heeled gladiator boots. I am happy to see her return to Balenciaga, but can't help but feel that this campaign is a bit awkward. Fellow blogger Sassy Bella was less than impressed by the shot, which has also been described as looking like she'd passed out drunk. One things for sure, it certainly shows off the clothing well. Otherwise, I'm not sure about this image which was shot by Steven Meisel – what do you think?

Barbie has having quite the year! The stylish doll is celebrating her 50th birthday and to mark the occasion she already had a fashion show in New York and a range of new designer outfits. This week is was announced that Barbie would be getting a Heidi Klum makeover as the Victoria Secret's model was immortalised in plastic as part of the Blonde Ambition Collection. Her doll has now been revealed in this gorgeous sequined mini dress and gold gladiator heels. I think she looks great, but where's the baby bump?

Kristen Bell in Cutout Embellished Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Kristen Bell normally impresses me with her outfit choices. She tends to be bold without being over-the-top. But I'm not sure how I feel how the embellished cutout dress she wore at a party in Maui. It's definitely one of the most daring cuts I've seen her in, but not the most flattering. It features a low V neckline, plus cutouts right below the bosom. Succumbing to the relaxed Hawaiian vibe, Kristen wore tie-up gladiator sandals instead of high heels. I need help deciding, is this stylish or not even?

Taylor Momsen was out partying this weekend in New York City sporting a pair of on trend ripped jeans. She teamed them with killer gladiator heels and rock chick accessories including rosary beads and a leather cuff. I really like this look on Taylor, although the jeans are a little too ripped for me.

Trend Alert: Animal Print Heels

FabSugarUK — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:00:37 -0700

Earlier this week I told you how catwalk fashion had embraced bad taste combining clashing colours and animal print for an unusual look. Well, animal print is a big trend in itself and is now adorning everything including heels.

There are some fierce cut out heels available with leopard print, like the Coat style by Faith (£60). There are also some gladiator sandals with a funky pattern like this pair (£50) at New Look. Team with a plain black dress for a subtle nod to the trend, and avoid wearing more than one piece of animal print at a time.

Leopard Print Gladiator - £50.00	Coat - £60.00
Office Loose Lips Bronze/Leopard - £60.00	Faith Leopard Print Peep Toe Shoes - £83.19
Irregular Choice Cortesan Leopard - £63.37	Steve Madden Animal Print Peeptoe Shoes - £78.30
Animal Print Slingback - £22.00	SERAFINA- 3 Strap Ankle Shoe - £70.00

Who Wore It Better? Chloé Scallop Shorts

FabSugarUK — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:00:56 -0700

Sienna Miller had a bit of a hard time this week as a survey said she was less sexy than the Queen! Despite that, she looked like she had a fun night at the Groucho club where she partied in these Chloé scalloped shorts and blazer. A similar ensemble was worn by Kate Bosworth last October when she wore the style with bare legs, gladiator heels and a pale tee. Sienna opted for a darker look with a black top and suede boots, but who do you think wore it better?

Trend Alert: Cork Heels

FabSugarUK — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 11:00:11 -0700

The grey skies have returned to the UK this week following a brief hiatus, however, I'm not letting the weather dampen my mood and am investing in a summer wardrobe regardless.

This season footwear has embraced a new form of sole produced from cork giving sandals a classic summer holiday feel. Cork is such a lightweight fabric that it makes a perfect material for stack wedges, which is exactly how it's been used at Yves Saint Laurent (£290).

My current favourite are these blue Beatrix Ong heels (£305) with unusual sling back detail. For a smaller budget, Peacocks have a bargain cork gladiator sandal for just £15. See below for many beautiful cork heeled shoes.

Sneak Peek! Mossimo Spring '09

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 09:00:08 -0700

For his Target Spring collection, Mossimo Giannulli is giving us a mix of goodies ranging from flirty feminine pieces to crisp-cut shorts. Tiered skirts and cool zipper accents give this line a cool, trendy vibe while streamlined shorts and classic stripes provide a basic backdrop. I'm personally loving that cool denim skirt and striped tanked combo because it gives off a breezy nautical vibe. For accessories, Mossimo supplied us with a variety of candy colored bags and funky gladiator heels. All together a nice line of basics and statement pieces. Items hit stores this month - get them while they're hot!
