Who Wore it Better? Preen LBD

FabSugarUK — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:00:30 -0800

Sarah Harding celebrated her birthday over the weekend with a party at her night spot, Kanaloa. She wore a Spring 2009 Preen dress to the party, which we saw much earlier in the year on Leighton Meester at a Nylon party. Leighton wore hers with strappy sandals whilst Sarah went for slightly chunkier heels and a gold clutch. Out of these two lovely ladies, which do you think wore it better?

Spring Peek: Dresses

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 15:28:11 -0800

If it isn't obvious based on the couple of Spring Peeks I've done, dresses are the wardrobe staple for Spring 2007. This is exciting news! Not only are dresses feminine but they have a natural ease and don't require as much matching skills as separates. They are also (usually) comfortable and are a look in itself. Lastly, they make you feel like a woman - and nobody's complaining about that! While the minidress was a standout, calf-length and floor-grazing gowns in a plethora of colors will be available for Spring.

What to Expect on the High Street Next Spring

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:54 -0800

Attending catwalk shows and reporting back is always exciting, but when you see the High Street interpretations it gives you an idea of how the trends will really manifest. Yesterday, Arcadia held their Spring press day which presented the items due to hit store from January 2010. Although I can't show you any images just yet (patience is a virtue!) I wanted to tell you a bit about what to expect.

First up, I checked out Miss Selfridge which was very girly. It was divided in to two key trends; neutrals and '90s florals. There were nude shades covered in sequins for flapper style dresses with subtle jacquard floral prints and delicate feminine fabrics. These were contasted against bright, floral prints, grungey designs and '90s boho.

Next up was Topshop, which is always the most trend driven of the High Street stores. They split the Spring collection in to four key themes; body armour, la latina, meadow and techno traveller. Body armour was my favourite part with sportswear inspired designs and '90s column maxi dresses. La latina is the high Summer collection with bright fun prints, whilst meadow is a bit more subdued with soft floral prints. Finally, techno traveller will appeal to festival fans as pieces were bright, cheerful with embellishment and fringing.

Designer Spotlight: Caroline Hedeya

This is a story about two girls, Caroline and Donna, who were destined to become stylish bosom buddies. Before they met at F.I.T., the two led parallel lives hoping to become fashion designers one day. Shortly after graduating, Caroline and Donna combined their quirky ideas to create Caroline Hedaya, a genesis of Caroline's graceful touches with Donna's architectural aesthetic. For Spring '10, the duo supply us with a girlie gambit of crisp skirts, cropped lace tops, modern vintage frocks, and polka-dot prints made in cream and navy hues. I don't know which I love more: the simple cinched camisole dress or the white cut-out wonder . . .

Here's a fun fact: At the age of 4, Caroline used to get phone calls from her teacher telling her mom that her outfits were too extravagant for school. Luckily, her mother refused to pacify her daughter's eccentric ways - too cute!

Kristen Stewart in Aquatic Chic Proenza Schouler: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:20:00 -0800

Her nude J.Mendel was pretty but this is straight up fun. Kristen Stewart hit the London red carpet for her new flick, New Moon. While most are focusing on her chemistry with Robert, I'm zooming in on her Proenza Schouler Spring '10 look. It's youthful, spunky, and so is Kristen. I only wish the top were a tad more fitted. I loved the scuba sandals on the catwalk, but Kristen's black patent pumps work as well. What do you think of Kristen in Proenza?

Freaky or Fabulous? Daphne Guinness in Alien Alexander McQueen

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Camilla Belle isn't the only one adoring Alexander McQueen's Spring '10 collection: Daphne Guinness loves it, too. The muse hosted NARs' 15th anniversary party in NYC yesterday decked out in the designer's ethereal alien dress and matching shoes. The sky-high platforms would have made a major statement on their own, but of course, Daphne took it to the next level and committed to the whole space-age ensemble - even her hair looks galactic! Is her 'fit freaking you out, or do you think it's fashion fabulous?

Kristen Stewart in Futuristic Sheer Balenciaga: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:34:36 -0800

She's smiling wide - and her panties are showing! - I think she likes her latest New Moon premiere look. I can't blame Kristen, it's a brand spankin' new Balenciaga Spring '10 dress. The actress stuck with her favorite dark palette but the varying textures keep things interesting. And sexy - look, she's showing slight cleavage via sheer panels. Black booties and a black leather bracelet serve as minimal accessories. You dig?

Vote on all Kristen's New Moon looks!
