Trend Alert: Double Belt Belts

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

When you're wearing a double belt belt, do you have double the fun? Elle Macpherson proves my theory. She looks pretty happy riding along wearing her black patent double belt, not to mention pretty cute. What's more, she wore it over her sweater jacket for added cozy style. Come Spring it will be all about the sash belt, but for now, snatch up a fun double belt belt.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: A Little B&B

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Every girl needs one-on-one time with her mother. Last weekend, Mom and I headed to a cute little bed and breakfast inn to spend some quality time together.

It was a quick, overnight trip so all I needed from you was a nice dinner outfit. I threw everything in this cute See by Chloe Sundance Tote ($495) so wrinkle-free clothing was a must. Don't you love the pretty, plum color? Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by jasmint, is mother-approved. The cute knit dress makes for easy, wrinkle-free packing.

Celebrity Style: Shenae Grimes

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

In a short period of time, 90210 actress Shenae Grimes has proven her style is worlds apart from her character on TV. Annie is all about being pretty and cute, while Shenae prefers to be rough around the edges. While hanging out with friends in LA recently, she rocked a black high-waisted denim skirt with layered white tanks and black beaded necklaces. A vintage Gucci bag adorned her shoulder while colorful plaid TOMS shoes prettied her feet.

Trend Alert: Two Toned

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Sadly, not all of us can pull off this Armani Prive tonal black strapless gown. But all can be inspired by its two toned appeal. A bit Jekyll, and a bit Hyde, these pieces deliver some style surrealism. The effect spans clothes and accessories, so choose to be dramatic, be Klum.

The adventurer in me has been eyeing this Marc by Marc Jacobs "Twinsie" Cardigan ($268). Not only am I a cardigan collector, I am also crushing on anything gray. This is not your typical cardi; two toned, here I come!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Jelly Jacquard Wallet: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I'm serious when it comes to investing in a wallet. I carry mine practically everywhere I go, so looks and function are key. My current one is getting raggedy so I'm thinking about a replacement. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Jelly Jacquard Wallet ($148) is kitschy cool, but I'm afraid it's too trendy. What do you think?Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

Trend Alert: Leather McLovin'

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I'm currently leather McLovin', and Shopbop and actress Malin Akerman (left) are on my wavelength. But I'm not just talking the obvious leather jacket, though that is a must-have Fall item as well.

The versatile material can be found on more than just outerwear. It's what takes a vest from preppy to rocker; a necklace from chic to killer; an LBD from sophisticated to smokin'. You get the picture.

Which eLUXURY Fashion Week Outfit Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Another New York Fashion Week come and gone. Though it's not really over; it's on to London Fashion Week for Fab UK, and then Milan and Paris for fashion's top flight. I'm still recovering — and unpacking — but I managed to have fun amidst the thunderstorms and hustle and bustle. Stay tuned for some more coverage this week, but I have to thank eLUXURY for making my week that much more Fab. In case you missed it, they outfitted me for four of the fast days, and it really helped me keep on keepin' on. I have my favorite, but I'm dying to know: Which look did you love most?

Which eLUXURY Fashion Week Outfit Is Most Fab?

I dig the sparkly sequin Proenza look — it's so you!

My fave is the Marc by Marc LBD and gold and black bag all the way.

The Lim blouse and skirt combo is too cute.

You can't beat a Zac Posen dress and Dior pumps!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Marc by Marc Jacobs

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 02:00:08 -0700

Marc by Marc Jacobs's Spring girl is simultaneously sporty, quirky, and girlie. For his younger line, the designer sent youthful models with lots of layers down the catwalk. When I say layers, I'm talking layered clothing and layered accessories. Belts, belt bags, and necklaces were all piled on top of one another for a funky, mumbo-jumbo effect. 'Tis Marc, after all.

As for the clothing, cuffed cargos, paperbag khakis, tiered floral dresses, linen rompers, and boyfriend blazers made appearances. Loose cuffed shorts and fun-colored scarves were also a big part of the line. Along with some of the more seasoned models like Irina Kulikova and Karlie Kloss, there was Cato van Ee from Model.Live. Not a bad gig to score, right? Realistically speaking, one wouldn't wear the Marc by Marc Jacobs looks as they're styled on the runway, but if taken apart, many pieces are functional and stylish.

For lots more Marc,

eLUXURY and Fab Play Dress Up: Marc Me

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:06:35 -0700

I was so proud of Marc and his Marc Jacobs collection last night, and I was very happy to be dressed in his contemporary line today.

Some days, an LBD does the job. Actually, most days. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Ruffled Jacquard Dress lasted me all day and all night. This dress is slightly '80s, with the asymmetrical zipper, but the faint polka dot print (have to see up close) creates texture and it is so comfortable. I also adore the Marc by Marc Jacobs Metal Check Groovee bag — you may recall it was in this month's most wanted. It's Marc meets Bottega, and the gold woven leather matches all my gold jewelry.

Speaking of, I tend to mix and match metals, and I did just that with the silver zipper, gold detailed bag, and the kitschy Martin Margiela bow ring — which is so fun. Varied metals, along with a smart LBD and purple sunglasses, made for a cool, thoroughly modern, Fashion Week look. What do you think? Do you like this one more or less than the sequin Proenza outfit from yesterday?

Celebrity Style: Rihanna

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:00:08 -0700

Remember how I said a striped cardigan has the ability to inject a dash of sportif into an outfit? Rihanna is more proof of that. The singer looked casual yet pulled together while hanging out in Manhattan yesterday. Unbuttoning her Cardigan French stripe cardigan was a smart move as it kept her from looking too prim. To add some girliness to the mix, she accessorized with Louboutin pumps and a patterned Gucci satchel. And, of course, it wouldn't be Rihanna without a pair of funky glasses and oversized hoop earrings.

Celebrity Style: Kelly Osbourne

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Ozzy spawn Kelly is moving up the fashion food chain, quickly. She looks sharp and sophisticated, but still manages to bring in pops of punk. Shining example: This sassy tailored look. The pleated dress is adorable and a great fit, the cropped tuxedo jacket is a fresh perspective — we're seeing so many blazers nowadays — and she spices it up with leopard print peep toes and two-tone Ray Bans. Daddy would be proud.

Fall Into Shopbop

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Out with the old, in with the new. Shopbop has slowly been making way for its fabulous Fall merchandise, and you'd better believe I've been checking daily to see which lucky pieces will make their way into my closet. I wish I could acquire it all, but since my budget won't allow for that, I've narrowed it down to 10 of my favorite must-have pieces. A little bit of plaid, a smidgen of leather, a dose of knit, and we've got an awesome autumn wardrobe to covet.

Back to Cool: 90210

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

The '90s are making a comeback in fashion and it's only going to spiral. Remember this gang? How can one forget, what with the revival and all. I only watched 90210 in the early years — I moved on to Melrose Place. But the early years . . . so good! Brenda was the best, her sharp tongue and moody getups were irresistible. Kelly was a hottie, too, the ultimate blond rich girl with her floral dresses and perfect bangs. And Donna was the sexiest, although always trying to play innocent, in her Herve-esque dresses and miniskirts. Light-wash denim, Doc Martins, demi-cup swimsuits, plaid and borrowed-from-Dylan-and-Brandon shirts and jackets made the mix, too. Do you think there's a chance the new 90210 can make such a splash?

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam. We enjoyed the sun and roller coasters at the Beach Boardwalk, followed by a nice dinner. I was pretty worn out by dinnertime, but lucky for me, I had your help. I asked you to find a look that would do double duty from a day at the beach to a night on the town.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). It's cute, cheap, and protected me from the sun.

Trend Alert: Lariats

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Lindsay may be amused by what's on her text message but I am crushing on her long silver lariat. If a necklace were ever sexy, the lariat would be the culprit. Something about one end going through the other to make a loop is slippery sweet. I have one. It's gold and the focal point is a solid gold triangle piece. It's really cool. An ex-boyfriend gave it to me, and yes, I still wear it proudly sexy.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler lunched at the trendy eatery dressed in a black and cream Lauren Moffatt dress and Repetto ballet flats. For a touch of bright, Jamie threw on red, two-tone Ray Ban Wayfarers, which match her red wallet. The actress kept the look refined with diamond earrings, thin gold bangles, and a simple gold necklace.

Cutie patootie Rachel Bilson spent an afternoon running errands in LA, but she didn't let a little to-do list stop her from dressing in style. Still, she maintained a level of comfort in Mayle's floral embroidered dress and flat sandals.

OK, I suppose you don't have to, but with all the exotic coverups out there, why not have an outfit change? Blake Lively even covered up with a Tory Burch tunic on the set of Gossip Girl. Coverups are not limited to tunics though. You can wear a romper, sarong, sundress, or tank top. Choose the one that suits your style and give your audience something — your hot bikini bod! — to look forward to.
