Trend Alert: Sharp Trousers

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

It's tempting to wear the usual jeans, leggings, or tights during cold months, but I double dare you to try something new. Just look to Rachel Bilson for inspiration. Instead of donning the expected denim and top combo, the cutie paired a crisp white shirt with a pair of sharp trousers.

Note: these pants are all about the perfect fit. Ankle or cropped lengths can be flattering, just don't forget to complement them with fresh footwear.

Trend Alert: Sheer Sleeves

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Sheer sleeves will surely keep you motivated to work out this Fall. In fact, I can't think of a better way to show off those hard earned toned biceps. Daring slim sleeve cuts, like this racy Derek Lam Zip Front Dress ($1,650), emote a more '80s vibe while billowy romantic sleeves, like the one January Jones recently wore allude a more modern aura. Take your pick . . .

Celebrity Style: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:05:02 -0700

Newly married Mandy Moore hosted the season opening of Tao Beach in Las Vegas over the weekend. Seeing as the weather in Sin City is sizzling, it's fitting that the actress chose a colorful maxi dress from Diane von Furstenberg's collection. Always the simple gal, Mandy didn't wear any jewels, but her Vanessa Bruno studded sandals helped pull in some tough chick spunk.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Shakespeare in the Park

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

All this Halloween talk has me in the mood for some make-believe fun. Since Halloween is still a couple weeks away, my friends and I watched Shakespeare in the park last weekend. The weather was perfect for an evening full of tales and folklore. To get in the spirit, I asked you to help me put together a Shakespeare-inspired ensemble without looking too literal.

I started you off with this Sarah & Fran Peacock Headband ($85) because it's whimsical and fun. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by hil34, is all about fanciful fun. The flowy dress is perfect for frolicking in the park.

Trend Alert: Lighten Up

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

We've witnessed the resurgence of black blazers, but being Fab, I like to jump ahead of the curve. I urge you all to lighten up in light-colored blazers. Katie Holmes just did and I'm sure you can, too. And yes, white and light colors can be worn after Labor Day.

This refreshing color option makes for a great contrast against any Fall ensemble and will keep you looking sharp. Don't believe me - try it out yourself.

The Look For Less: Vanessa Bruno Fringe Hobo

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Fringe is popular for its '70s appeal and freewheelin' nature. I prefer my fringe sleek - call it controlled fringe. Take for instance this Vanessa Bruno Fringe Hobo ($830). The dark palette is not an obvious choice and I like the short fringe. Rocker meets hippie. Sadly, this bag is not in my budget so I'm off to find a cheaper option . . .

This B. Makowsky Andalusia Shoulder Bag ($188) has the same short fringe and sleek vibe without the heavy price tag. The threaded detailing is a nice touch and I prefer the shorter handle.

Trend Alert: Don't Sweat It in Jacket Vests

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Want to achieve the look of a chic blazer without having to sweat it out? Jacket vests will do the job. This sleeveless innovation, worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell and yours truly, will keep you cool and collected during these blissful months of warm weather.

Here's a Fab idea: Instead of buying a new one, take an old blazer into your local seamstress and have her take the sleeves off for you. Voilà - instant jacket vest!

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Nicole Richie headed to yet another day of traffic school, but from her rocker chick outfit, you would think she's going to a concert. Just because the occasion is not so exciting doesn't mean she shouldn't put herself together just like usual. Au contraire. Nicole chose an Elizabeth and James patchwork dress and her blue Balenciaga motorcycle bag. I dig her finishing touches (nix the tights) - the wide-rim hat, the simple necklace, and her signature sunnies. Do you?

P.S. Does anyone else see Nicole channeling Ann Demeulemeester's Fall collection? A keen connection.

Elizabeth and James Patchwork Tank Dress - $375.00	Vanessa Bruno Button V Cardigan - $138.00
Eugenia Kim Ronson Porkpie Hat - $209.00	Black Magic Sunglasses - $18.00
ASSETS® by Sara Blakely® Terrific Tights - Black - $9.80	Loeffler Randall Penelope Black Flat Boot with Zip Back - $750.00

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:00:22 -0700

I'm totally stoked for my upcoming trip to Mexico, I had to share. And where am I going in Mexico you ask? Zihuatanejo. Try saying that three times fast. This vacay is going to be all about the beach, fun, and much-needed relaxation. I asked you to help me find looks that are easy going, but super cute - you never know who I'll run into!

I started you off with this Vanessa Bruno Sequin Trim Tote ($179) because it's equally Fab and sturdy enough to withstand the sand and sun. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by lizzylu49, is beautiful and beach appropriate. The DVF tunic is casual yet Fab enough to wear out to dinner after soaking in the warm sun.
