Feathers and Hotties at the 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Let the pajama party begin. Plumage, perfectly toned (and tanned) bodies, sequins, lace, and ruffles, and, of course, Heidi Klum, all make up the holiday cocktail known as the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Victoria's Secret ignored economic uncertainty with a full-blown lingerie love affair at Miami's newest hot spot: The Fontainebleau hotel. When asked about this year's show, Ed Razek, VS’s president and chief marketing officer said, “Quite candidly, I think people are looking for a little escape right now." While many a celeb and pretty face turned out for not one, but two runway shows, there was more than enough escape to go around.The show will air on CBS on Dec. 3., but we've got the sparkly splendor for you now. With Usher performing, VS angels Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Miranda Kerr strutted their hot stuff, as well as high fashion models like Lara Stone, Julia Stegner, and Behati Prinsloo. It was refreshing to see a couple classic faces like Carmen Kass and Noemie Lenoir, too. Whatever your fantasy, these girls wore an outfit to fulfill it. From bedazzled bras — Adriana Lima wore the the $5 million black diamond bra — to black lace bodysuits, cozy cuties, sci-fi getups, and dramatic wings, Victoria's Secret brought it full force.

Sneak Peek! Victoria's Secret Holiday Collection

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Who can resist sultry satin and lace? Not I. Victoria's Secret is here to add some holiday hotness into our lives. This season its festive collection of goodies includes a fresh palette of sugary plum hues, decadent textures, and menswear touches. My fave is this rose patterned silk slip. Did you notice the cute floral applique on the back? Oh! Don't forget to check out those cute organic panties — the perfect stocking stuffer for your eco-con friends. You have my permission to splurge.

Celebrity Style: Kate Bosworth

FabSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 11:00:08 -0700

While other actresses are still wearing black, the always-forward Kate Bosworth has already transitioned into one of Fall's hottest color palettes: nudes. It's always easier to reach for dark hues so I give her major credit for pulling off this Chloe ensemble at the US launch party for the BlackBerry Bold. It's an easy look to copy — feel free to re-create it when you're feeling experimental. It won't hurt to also mimic Kate's healthy glow.

Style For Style: Easy Traveling With Cotton

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Even though it's been a while since the Transportation Security Agency implemented airport liquid regulations, I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Simply put: it's freaking annoying. But, I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize my trip. What I can do is minimize the liquids I take on my travels with me. For cotton items, like this Victoria's Secret Plaid Shirtdress ($68), I learned a brilliant solution to keep them wrinkle-free and travel-easy.

Lingerie . . . and Laptop Sleeves at Victoria's Secret?!

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:55:22 -0700

Lingerie . . . and Laptop Sleeves at Victoria's Secret?! Panties and PC cases at the same place? Yes please! I don't know how long Victoria's Secret has been carrying laptop cases, since I stopped buying my intimates at the superstore, but I can't say I hate the idea — or the execution.

Trend Alert: Step Into the Green

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Kate Bosworth's a sight of shimmering beauty, but what really caught my attention here were her green Miu Miu platform pumps. In fact, I think we should all step into the green. This earthy hue has made a comeback in an abundance of textures ranging from rich, suede booties to sleek leather combinations. It'll surely take the place of boring brown footwear and will complete any Fall ensemble. Remember, it's all in the details!

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

There's no denying the power of boots. They're funky, functional, and boast a plentiful harvest.

Let me draw your attention to the subject at hand: these Kristen Lee Montague Boots ($346) go over the knee in an oh so slick manner. The supple suede exudes decadence while the wide, low heel makes for a functional staple. These thigh-grazing boots are made for the strong so stomp loud, stomp proud. Tip: stray away from the tacky and stick to dark, muted colors for a modern appeal.

The Look For Less: Diane von Furstenberg Philippine Blouse

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:00:08 -0700

This Diane von Furstenberg Philippine Blouse ($285) encompasses two Fab trends: a nude color palette and plenty of pleats. I would toughen this romantic blouse with a pair of skinny black pants and my favorite Fall jacket. Sounds Fab, huh? The only thing stopping me from putting it all together is the price.

Trend Alert: Colorful Suiting

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:00:22 -0700

This one is for all you working women whose daily dress code includes a proper two-piece ensemble. The fashion gods have blessed you with colorful suiting. There's nothing subtle about these autumnal colors. From crimson red to cobalt blue, the new power suit is all talk, all action. Powerful stuff.

Trend Alert: Fluid Silk Tops

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

There's something magical about mixing together the hard and soft. Take for instance fluid silk tops. Alone, these romantic blouses can come off overly girly, but the trick is to style them with sleek pants and hard-edge adornments.

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is a perfect reflection of sugar and spice. Her asymmetrical top is serene; everything else is sexy. Get the picture?

Fab Finds of the Week: Feeling Nippy

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I was surprised to see the abundance of cozy clothes in this week's Fab Finds. I understand, it's getting nippy and I wouldn't want you to catch a cold. I fancied your choices of soft sweaters and sharp outerwear. The Fab Finder of the week is aimeeb because she found this awesome Victoria's Secret Zip Front Bomber Sweater. Sit me in front of a fireplace, hot cocoa, and I'm good to go.

Congrats to aimeeb, leeluvfashion, twangurl, jasmint, saddyblue, madmoiselle, and heartlatte!

Fab Flash: Victoria's Secret Gets a Chic Facelift

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:35:08 -0700

Out with the old and in with the new. Victoria's Secret is gearing up to show off its sophisticated side with the launch of a new store redesign. Inspired by a jewel box, the new exterior of Victoria's Secret will embody a upscale feel using laminated glass panels, smaller windows, crystals and stainless steel. In other words, it will be far more demure than its current stagey windows. Take a look at a rendering of the new store below.

The store's interior will be updated as well. It will look more "upscale, luxurious, and very feminine," said Inga Kruliene, a principal of Callison, the architectural design firm that is collaborating with Victoria’s Secret on the project. Compared with older schematic of pinks and red, the new interior will showcase a romantic black and white theme. The redesign will debut at the new flagship location in the Upper East Side of Manhattan come November. Plans to upgrade all Victoria's Secret stores are yet to be decided. What do you think about this sophisticated direction for VS, who's normally associated with in-your-face sexiness?

Victoria’s Secret has revealed to People that model Doutzen Kroes is the newest Victoria’s Secret Angel, joining the likes of Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima, as well as past angels like Gisele Bundchen and Tyra Banks.

Sneak Peek! Victoria's Secret Fall 2008 Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:00:22 -0700

We can always count on Victoria's Secret to bring sexiness into our lives. On that note, Fall is about to get super steamy thanks to the brand's new collection. Of course, it helps that the line is modeled by two gorgeous ladies, Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes. Excite your lingerie drawer by adding to it a pale palette of push-up bras, garters, thongs, and satin slips. All the lingerie is made pretty by either lace, bows, or pleats. For a touch of boy meets girl, slip on mini silk shorts. Have I teased you enough? Now go on and see the beauties for yourself.

Trend Alert: Exotic Cover Ups

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:00:11 -0700

When you're wearing a plain ensemble, why not spruce things up with an exotic cover up? Just look to Nicole Richie (left) for inspiration. Her black tank and jeans combo is far from boring thanks to the colorful addition of her embellished, sheer cover up.

Word to the wise: You don't have to travel to the far East Indies to find this look. Check out your local flea markets to find the cheapest and best selection.

Dress Me Up: The Well-Tailored Party Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

The Resort collections opened up a new world of doors for wide-legged pants. They've taken a backseat to the popular skinny leg for the past couple seasons, but the bell-bottomed '70s are back with a vengeance. As exemplified by Angela Missoni's Resort collection (left), mixing crisp, flared trousers with a funky top will lend you instant party chic. Groovy, baby.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Pajama-Rama

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

Last weekend's pajama party was overflowing with popcorn and fun. The girls and I had a blast sipping champagne as we watched teen flicks from the '80s and reminisced about the good old days. I know it sounds corny, but we even played truth or dare. Girls just wanna have fun.

I started you off with these UGG Australia Sheepskin Flip-Flops ($70) because I couldn't resist the decadently soft texture.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is pink all over. Love those polka-dot jammies!

An upcoming trip to Vegas for a bachelorette party had me in conundrum for a strapless bra. The current one I have makes a funny line across my chest — not cool. A friend suggested I try the Victoria's Secret Invisible Shaping Bra ($68). It was the answer to all my problems. Not only does it relieve me of funny lines, this baby is strapless, backless, washable, and gives me a naturally curvy shape.

Trend Alert: Caged Sandals

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

It's time to set your gladiators aside and welcome a new member into the family. Unlike the chunky style of the aforementioned, caged sandals are all about sexy. Case in point Fergie. She's emitting major femme fatale in a lustful pair of Jimmy Choos. These S&M-like delights toughen up dresses or pair them with some skinny jeans to channel the hipster in you.

Trend Alert: Shoulder Love

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Take a cue from these shining stars and show some shoulder love. I prefer Anne's simple, angular frock, but feel free to make a bold statement a la Charlize in decadent Giambattisa Valli or get sweet like Sienna's Dior. The trick to shoulder love is making sure the top portion fits you to perfection — we don't want you looking like a burly football player. Keep the rest sleek and best to pull your hair back so the shoulders can steal the show.

FABTV: Victoria's Secret Takes a Dip

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Instead of the sexy commercials I usually associate with Victoria's Secret, I was pleasantly surprised to see a more realistic attempt for their first-ever 2008 swimwear campaign. The video takes on a behind-the-scenes point of view featuring bodacious models Marisa Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio getting real with us on the beautiful beaches of St. Barths. Not only do the long-legged felines talk about their personal favorite swimsuits, they also point out VS's cool mix-and-match bikini feature. After all, who's the same size on the top and bottom? I'm sold. Off to check out their massive swimsuit collection — toodles!

Fab Flash: Victoria's Secret Goes Back to School

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

School just got sexier. Victoria's Secret's Pink line will take over sweatpants, hoodies, panties, T-shirts, and totes emblazoned with college logos and be available Friday at victoriassecret.com. A bit early for back-to-school shopping, but savvy nonetheless. Then, on July 1, the VS Pink Collegiate Collection, will be at 375 Victoria's Secret stores — near college and university campuses — as well as in the VS catalogs and campus bookstores. Who will be the cheerleader for this endeavor? Fresh faced Behati Prinsloo.

I was never into wearing school-pride gear. I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York where the competition to look unique and cool was in effect every day; hoodies and sweatpants weren't acceptable. But that's fashion school for you. Would wear a feminized school hoodie?

Don't you love how neon highlighters instantly liven up a boring textbook? Oh, I guess they help you study, too. The same idea goes for fashion. Highlight your khakis with brightly colored separates and you'll be rewarded with admiring glances. Try this look with a khaki skirt or pants. I prefer to keep the bottoms neutral with a spicy shirt but feel free to mix it up like Jenni Kayne did (left), in her 2009 Resort collection.

You want to take a glam-o-rous vacation? Do like Beyonce and head to the South of France. But wait! Don't forget your sizzling swimsuit. There's a whole lotta richies in that part of the world, so you must look the part even if you can't dish out the dough.

What does St. Tropez require from its beach-goers? Not that much. Just that you put on your sexiest swimsuit and look confident. One word of advice? Use self-tanner weeks before you go. Pale + St. Tropez = no no.

Life's a Beach: One Piece, All Fabulous

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Gone are the days when one-piece bathing suits are reserved for the shy and self-conscious. These days, girls of all shapes and styles are picking up one-pieces because they can be as, if not more, sexy than bikinis. Case in point: Naomi Campbell looks hot as hell in an exotic leopard-print one-piece. OK, she's speeding on a motorcycle but you get the gist. In this category, you'll find styles from retro to steamy, playful to girlie, and pinup. Like I said, one piece, all fabulous!

Of course, she had to represent the brand, so she wore an Armani Exchange purple silk bubble dress with lace Louboutins. She's flawless with her cascading curls and jewel-toned frock. I'm sure we'll be seeing Izabel's pretty face in more ad campaigns and Victoria's Secret catalogs soon.

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is one blessed lady. Not only does she have the pleasure of dating the Orlando Bloom, she's also unearthly gorgeous. At the Victoria's Secret Heavenly Kiss launch party, the Australian brunette chose a Balenciaga floral mini dress that looks like the sassy sister of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring gowns. Although her choice of satin peep-toe pumps is pretty, I switched them out for a more modern pair of lace-up peep toes.

Fab Flash: Juicy Couture Sues Victoria's Secret Pink

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:00:08 -0700

Yesterday, Juicy Couture filed a lawsuit accusing Victoria's Secret Pink of using similar ideas and icons, such as their trademark seat-of-the-pants Juicy logo (below). Also underscored was the fact that Victoria's Secret is selling apparel wrapped in the shape of lollipops and ice cream cones, mimicking the packaging used in Juicy's Sweet Shoppe.

The suit claims that Victoria's Secret is trying to capitalize on the success of Juicy Couture, which raked in a whopping $420 million in sales last year. The company is asking for the offending clothing to be destroyed and to be awarded triple damages. Victoria's Secret has made no comment, but do you think the lawsuit has merit?

Cheap & Chic: Fringe Footsies

Actress Michelle Monaghan is on my radar, hardcore. First she outshone everyone at A Night of a Thousand Lights in her dreamy Marchesa accordian-pleated frock, and now she attended the Tribeca Film Festival in the most polished menswear-inspired ensemble I've seen to date.

The kicker? Her fuchsia, suede, fringe shoes. Like the fringe footwear in Etro's Spring collection, they provide a funky twist. Should you sport an equally minimal look, take it up a notch with fringe footsies!

We've all shown some skin from the front, but how about the back? The open back is hot hot hot and is a fresh alternative to showing some skin.

Silk has a new look; it's more relaxed but hardened with tough details. This new silk utilitarian twist is more wearable and comfortable. Silk tops, jumpers, pants, and accessories have been updated with drawstrings, zippers and cargo pockets to lend a simultaneously chic and casual look.

Now, buying silk can be an investment so I provided a couple silk-like items for you to wear this slick trend without stretching your wallet. As always, have fun . . .

Dress Me Up: Oh, Sheer

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

See-through clothes make most gals say, oh, sheer. But we can't avoid the trend altogether because it was everywhere on the Spring runways, including BCBG (left) and Marc Jacobs.

What we can do is find a sheer style that works for our lifestyles and body types. That's precisely what a good friend of mine did recently when she bought a see-through watercolor slip and wore it as an ultrafemme dress.

The key is to find a slip to pair underneath. Pick a fun color so it purposefully shows and mimics the runways. The next time you hit up a department store, don't overlook the lingerie department. Find a sheer slip that can pass as a dress or top, wear it with a colorful slip, and sheer on!

Sarah Jessica Parker has been pretty low-key lately, but when she comes around, she does so with a big (and pink) bang! The actress attended NYC's premiere of Smart People looking ever the rock 'n roller in her tighter than tight leather leggings.

This pink lady has guts for incorporating so many colors and prints; we can definitely learn a thing or two from her!

On Our Radar: Victoria's Secret New BioFit Uplift Bra

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Spring has just about sprung, and right along with it comes another kind of uplift . . . that of the new Victoria’s Secret bra.

The Victoria’s Secret BioFit Uplift ($45-4 focuses on providing uplift based on individual cup size, so as the cup size increases, the padding decreases. The idea is to make everything feel like it's custom made, and to look as natural as possible. The new bra is available in a variety of sassy colors, from whisper pink to daring orange, and in sizes ranging from A-DD.

Even better, if you happen to be at the Victoria’s Secret store at The Grove in Los Angeles tonight, March 4, from 6-8 pm, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima will be there, too!

Style Glossary: Teddy

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:30:22 -0800

Teddy

Decorative lingerie with an all-in-one camisole-like top and tap panty. Unlike a bodysuit, it is typically looser and more sheer, and may be designed to slip off from the shoulders, rather than to open at the crotch. The teddy is normally worn for the seductive look, rather than practical reasons.

Which Rachel Bilson For GQ Magazine Lingerie Look Do You Like Best?

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Finally! Rachel Bilson traded in her boots for something a little more sassy — correction — a lot more sexy. In February's GQ Magazine, the cute-as-a-button actress looks, well, not exactly cute. Rather, she looks like a sexy kitten who just discovered her appeal and the power of the purr. I am quite mesmerized by these Ellen von Unwerth photos because they reveal an edgier side of Rachel that I presume only her lovers have witnessed. I feel like a fly on the wall in her bedroom, unable to pull myself away from the alluring peep show. My favorite outfit, if you can even call it that, is the baby-pink lace bra and shorts by French lingerie brand Chantal Thomass because it's feminine and pinup chic. Which do you like best? (L-R: Agent Provocateur two-piece with Christian Louboutin espadrilles; Victoria's Secret slip dress and necklace from Diavolina boutique in LA; Chantal Thomass bra and Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann ($12); Chantal Thomass bra and shorts)Source

I used to think there was only so much you could do to spice up a clutch, but this Jalda
