Hollywood Obsession: Leopard Print Shoes

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 13:30:57 -0700

Leopard print shoes seem to be THE thing in Hollywood right now.

To me, this is something I would probably never spend a lot of money on. It's a look I might think is fun once for like a night out in Vegas or something. But, in case a hot pair of leopard platforms are on your list for Fall, here are some great options.

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Nouey80 whipped up a fantastic outfit inspired by Dolce & Gabbana's Spring '10 collection. Doesn't she look amazing? I like how she styled her wild rose print skirt with a silky red leopard bodysuit. It's mismatched and marvelous.

Here's what she has on:

Lace bodysuit: Topshop
Leopard bodysuit: Vintage
Skirt: Topshop
Shoes: Matalan

Congrats to nouey80!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Exclusive! Few Fab Words with Fearne Cotton

FabSugarUK — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:00:52 -0700

I always imagined Fearne Cotton to be gorgeous, fun and friendly and now having met her I am pleased to confirm that she is all of those things! Last night, she launched the latest installment of her clothing range at a venue in London as she continues to collaborate with Very.

I say collaborate, but I feel that slightly undermines the amount of work, time and effort Fearne has put in to this range. Kate Moss "can't sketch", Victoria Beckham "can't draw", but Fearne has been carrying round a note pad for months jotting down and drawing her ideas before Very made them a reality. There is evidence of this all over the venue as her creative talents are put to good use (she is a keen artist).

If you needed any proof of how friendly Fearne is, you only had to look around the small space which was packed out with people supporting her on this venture. From showbiz colleagues Reggie Yates and Sarah Cawood, and cool celeb mates like VV Brown and Kelly Jones, to her Mum, there was no shortage of people on hand to make her efforts worthwhile.

To keep learning about Fearne, just read more.
I managed to grab a minute with her whilst she sipped on an apple martini (which her Mum helpfully replaced mid interview) and she admitted she'd been "terrified" all day. She said that it was important for her to work with an online retailer explaining, "I do all my shopping online – it's great for interacting with customers. Also, Very allowed me to have a hands on approach and to do my own sketches."

She spoke about her inspiration, "Very '70s, David Bowie, Led Zepplin, My Mum in the '70s, Jimmy Paige," and confessed to being a big Biba fan. "My Mum and my aunt had loads of stuff from there, in fact my cousin (she points her out) is even called Biba!"

Fearne described the project as "my baby" and loves all of the pieces. She is wearing her favourite piece from the collection – the black party frock (£69) which she says is "very comfortable and structured". She explained that she'd already completed her Spring collection which was "inspired by Debbie Harry – girly but tough", and has even begun working on Autumn 2010.

There was a little addition to her Very collaboration as Fearne announced that she'd also been working with Converse on her very own pair of trainers. "I live in Converse, I actually love them and wear them 'til they're worn out. In fact, whilst on a recent charity trip to Africa a homeless child asked me, 'Why are you wearing holey shoes?' So I decided to throw those away!" The shoes are, unsurprisingly, leopard print with red detailing and again her sketches were there to prove her hard work.

Trend Alert: Lush Leopard

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I can't wait to cozy up in lush leopard come Fall. Yes, we've done the animal print thing, but leopard prints stand apart from the crowd with their sophisticated feline appeal. For the upcoming chilly months, layer your pet with wool coats and opaque tights. Shy ones, step into the trend via scarves, gloves, and shoes for minimal commitment and maximum appeal. Show off that roar!

Exclusive Few Fab Words with Alice Temperley, Part 1

FabSugarUK — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:30:22 -0700

There are only a few weeks to go until the Spring 2010 shows kick off in New York City where Temperley London currently shows. I recently caught up with Alice to find out about her inspiration for the new season, details of her label expansion and her must have items for Autumn '09.

You have shown in both New York and London, what do you think are the main differences between the two fashion capitals? There is a definite buzz in New York that comes from being the first in the seasonal calendar. It is much bigger and more money orientated which used to draw bigger crowds of press and buyers. London is filled with eccentricity and creativity, which I love.

Has your son, Fox, encouraged you to design childrenswear at all? We do a small line of children¹s wear called Temperley for Little People; there are only a few select pieces in the collection, most recently the Cashmere Leopard print romper complete with ears and a tail. We aim to expand the line in 2010.

To find out more about Temperley's plans for expansion, just read more.

I fell in love with the shoes Olivia Morris created for you Autumn AW09 show, do you have any plans to extend your label at all? The shoes have been well received & I love to collaborate with different designers on footwear. However, we are launching our own Temperley London shoes for Spring 2010.

What has inspired your Spring 2010 show? We are producing another global digital installation. The inspiration is the circus and we are building a fantastic installation for it that will be unveiled at MILK studios in New York. It is all very exciting at this stage as the collection and the creative aspects really come together, I am afraid I can't say more than that!

Would you ever consider a High Street collaboration? Yes, we previously collaborated with Target, the response was incredible and it was great to be able to open the collections up to a different audience. We recently have been focusing on our own lines and working on a huge project for Spring 2010 which has been taking up most of our attention.

What are your must have items for Autumn AW09? Leather jackets and bandage knit mini skirts with zips and lace details to go with the sexy '80s vibe at the moment, I love the revival of past decades and none are more fun than the '80s!

Stay tuned for part two of my interview with Alice where she discusses her favourite London shopping spots, style on a budget and her handbag essentials!

Would You Rock Zoe's Atwood Lolas During the Day?

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

The Zoe is back, in full force. The second season of The Rachel Zoe Project is already previewing (ugh, Taylor), and Zoe's daily dose of glamour newsletter - The Zoe Report - launched today. Watch out GOOP, there's a new kicky message in our inbox. As you know, I've always been a fan of the kooky celebrity stylist. She's entertaining, she knows her stuff, the celebs adore her - what's not to love? And there's cutie-pie assistant Brad . . .

Zoe knew she had to make a splash with her debut and what better way than to introduce us to her new favorite shoe: a leopard-print Brian Atwood "shootie." Zoe hooks up links to product, and even suggests a look for less. This woman knows her reader. Zoe goes on to explain the shootie as the perfect transitional shoe, as we start thinking about our Fall wardrobes. She suggests a few things to wear the stunners with and encourages one to rock them during the day. I would, if I were a diva with fabulous places to go. Would you? P.S. What do you think of The Zoe Report? Pretty cute, ja?

Fab Finding Followup: Tea Time!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:50:22 -0700

I don't consider myself a girlie girl, but I do enjoy the occasional tea party. Last weekend, my friend graciously hosted one at her place and all I needed to do was arrive looking as fresh as the scones. The festivities took place outdoors in her beautiful garden, so I wanted to look polished but not stuffy. I asked you to think modern day, not Stepford wife.

I started you off with this Lauren Merkin Eve Leopard Clutch ($165) because I love the Springy leopard print. Let's see what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by Brielle, incorporates fun Spring hues - I adore the yellow dress and coral heels!
