The Bag To Have: M Missoni Wool Knit Bag

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:00:22 -0800

Minus the gaudy gold "M" pendant, this M Missoni Wool Knit Bag ($695) is exquisite. It's a good investment for those who covet the famous Missoni pattern but not the price tag.

Though it's still rather expensive, there are several perks to this purse. Firstly, the shape is just right; not too big, not too small. I also love the ruched leather handles and the shoulder strap. The black and grey pattern is unique, and very Missoni. Most importantly, I can see this bag matching almost anything...and when spending a paycheck or two on a purse, that's something to consider.

Trend Alert: Bell Sleeves

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:00:22 -0700

If romance were a sleeve it would be a bell sleeve. Katie Holmes' floral Missoni tunic may be lovely, but what really conjures up the smell of roses is her slouchy bell sleeve cardi. If you're hesitant to play with volume, this is a beginner lesson. Bell sleeves come is all structures and configurations, choose one that's definitively you.

Matthew Williamson For H&M Burns Through Foggy San Fran

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:37:20 -0700

Breathe in, breathe out. This was me last night when trying to fall asleep. You know when you're so excited for something insomnia ensues and obsession overpowers? You all know I've been anticipating Matthew Williamson's H&M collection since the news broke, but I didn't expect to turn groupie . . .
Rise and shine, join the line at the Powell Street H&M. The line was only about eight stylistas deep at this point. PartySugar, also a MW groupie, joined me around 7:30 a.m. - store opens at 10. But something had been brewing behind Fab's scenes, I just didn't want to jinx anything. And then, the fashion gods looked down upon me, and I got the email - I was granted early press access. Not to shop mind you, but to enter the store (this was about 9ish), survey the scene, try things on, take pics, and revel in MWHM. I already had my wish list, as did Party, so you can imagine our elation.

To read and see all about my MWHMSF experience, read more.

The West Coast district manager, Alexis, dished on how she thought this was the most commercially viable designer collection. Agreed. She was gaga over the leather jacket and the hot pink gold-studded belt. Interestingly, this SF store gets more stock of the designer goods than LA's Beverly Center store; who said SF didn't love to shop? We also chatted about Phase II - the Summer collection, hitting stores May 14. Alexis promised hot bikinis and a fresh geometric print overnight bag (stay tuned for pics!). I had to ask if Missoni for H&M is up next and she replied "no comment" which leads me to think it's true since the news broke just yesterday and she knew what I was talking about, sneaky Fab.

We were able to hang tight inside the store, out of the fog, but still not shop, until doors opened at 10 a.m. But our plans of attack were in place. And like that - mayhem. This was my first time really tolerating this. I missed the first collection, Karl Lagerfeld, slept through Stella McCartney, slacked on Viktor & Rolf, cried post Roberto Cavalli, and gave up on Commes de Garcons. But not Matthew. This was my H&M collection. And so, I raced though the racks plucking my new babies, calm as a clam.

The dramatic ruffled print maxi dress was the first to go. And in person, this one was amazing; the black sequined detailing was divine. The short version of this was a hot one, too. And as celebrities still work their PR magic, the sequined artsy dress worn by Ginnifer Goodwin and the peacock dress modeled by both Nicky Hilton and Katy Perry were gone in no time. None of these screamed Fab. I added the glam rockin' blue blazer, the yellow embroidered top, the pink feathered cardigan, the butterfly tee, and the hot pink studded belt to my arsenal.

That's how Matthew Williamson For H&M burned through foggy San Fran, see you May 14!

Fab Flash: Leighton Meester Talks Fashion

FabSugarUK — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:00:53 -0700

Leighton Meester, star of Gossip Girl and Remember The Daze has spoken to Nylon magazine about her favourite designers and her dreams for having her own clothing line.

"I would love to do my own thing, and see where that could take me. I love fashion, and sometimes I just feel like if I could only do and make whatever I wanted, it would make so much of a statement and really express who I am. So yes, in the future I would love to do a clothing label or work with a clothing label."

She is pictured here at the Remember the Daze premiere early in the week wearing a Missoni mirrored skirt with a Chloe Saskia clutch bag. She includes Missoni in her favourite designers along with DVF, Miu Miu, Alberta Ferreti and Julie Haus.

Leighton also offers some advice to budding actors,"Don’t try to be anything but yourself, and find success as yourself, you know? Otherwise, you won’t be happy." Don't forget to tune in to Gossip Girl tonight at 10pm on ITV2.
