Look of the Day: Gray Matters

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Bright frocks are undeniably fun, but every now and again, it's refreshing to see a less in-your-face dress like the one Dolce is wearing for gray matters. Check out the cool metallic buttons on the straps!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Wilfred
Shoes: Zara

Congrats to Dolce!

Celebrity Style: Selma Blair

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Selma always seems to have a trick up her sleeve when it comes to fashion — she's one of the few people I've seen attempt the sheer trend and pull it off. Her Marc Jacobs grey cashmere shell and skirt look not only luxurious but comfortable. Insert Coco Chanel quote here: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." Add some simple, beautiful jewelry and a pop of color, and you've got yourself a modern classic.

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Claudia Schiffer walked her little girl Clementine to school, but she looked more like the student in her preppy-chic outfit. At first glance, the silk scarf and grey blazer can seem stuffy, but her J Brand Lovestory jeans, oversized sunnies, and patent Mulberry Bayswater bag ease it up a bit. Maybe it's because I watched Gossip Girl last night, but doesn't she look like a grownup, more kick-back version of Blair Waldorf?

Online Sale Alert! Rarechic Moving Sale

FabSugar — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 09:00:08 -0700

New items are hardly ever included in the sales I've found and it kind of sucks being that I want to stay on top of my fashion game. In celebration of their move to New York, Rarechic is offering 25 percent off everything — and yes, that includes new and sale items. I'm jonesing for this Gryson Haylie bag on sale for $441 (originally $587) for Fall. So what are you waiting for?

Fab Finding Follow Up: Bonfire Babe

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:00:22 -0800

You and a bevy of your closest guy and gal pals are gathering on the beach Friday evening for a little ring-in-the-weekend bonfire — think The Hills! It gets a little chilly with the sea breeze in the evening, so I reminded you to make sure to bring a jacket, and some sand-friendly shoes.

I started you off with these J Brand 10" Ankle Skinny Stretch Jean ($159) in charcoal, in honor of the bonfire.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by elanakat is super cute; I love her color palette of coral, grey, and shiny black.

SAG Awards Trend Alert: Grey Day

FabSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:30:22 -0800

Grey is not a color usually associated with the red carpet but this year's SAG Awards brought out the grey days. The leaders of the pack? Fab ladies Giuliana DePandi, America Ferrera, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Pompeo, and Olivia Wilde. From Grecian to asymmetrical, strapless to velvet, these dresses did not fade in the background like the gloomy hue usually does. In fact, some of the most eye-catching dresses came in shades of grey this year!

To see more from these grey ladies,

Gray Boots

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:40:22 -0800

Gray Boots Stars are booting up in gray boots of all heights. Both Hayden Panettiere and Jessica Alba were spotted in the stacked-heel Maxene boot from Coach. The neutral shade makes for standout footwear that can blend with jeans and basic black alike. Or, for a more colorful option, try pairing it with bright yellow.

Trend Alert: Ice Princesses

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:00:22 -0800

All this time I've been preaching color and these ice princesses are stealing the spotlight. Gray goes many ways: casual, dressy, cool, sexy. The best part about gray is it's seasonless and you can play up colorful makeup and accessories. Work an icy demeanor in the Winter and a chill one in the Summer. Ice ice baby . . .

How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Before this, I didn't know there were degrees of being matchy matchy. Kate Hudson took the concept to a whole new level at a recent D&G party. I know that grey is a prevalent color right now, but that doesn't mean you have to wear it head to toe, literally.

The top half of Kate's outfit is quite lovely. It's only when you look down that you cringe. The satin and suede combination kills the look, because as we Fabazons know, fabrics are of utmost importance. If I were Kate, I'd pair the jeweled neck blouse with a black mini skirt, bare legs, and a hot pair of pumps.

How would YOU wear it?

Fab Redux: Mesh Into It

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:00:22 -0700

I have long been a sucker for vintage mesh purses - there's just something so dated about them. But it's a good dated, especially when the mesh purse is like this one, $18, from the 70s, with its grey tone and the cute little bow on top.

Just think: how great would it be paired with your new wide leg jeans for a little strut around the neighborhood?

Trend Alert: Gray Handbags

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 11:00:22 -0700

My friends, I think we have found a handbag color that goes with everything. A gray handbag with color? Fab-u-lous. A gray lovely with white? Clean. One with black? Tough and chic. Good luck selecting one, and there are many more of these smoky hued handbags on the horizon. You heard it here first: gray will be a key color for Spring so consider this your first investment.

Victoria Beckham Is a Re-Outfitter!

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 15:01:49 -0700

Posh just keeps getting more and more down-to-earth, it seems. I know I'm not the only one whose heart she stole the other night on her TV special Victoria Beckham: Coming to America; she was so likeable, witty and devoted to her family. Her razored blonde do has grown on me & she's like a British Barbie-doll. Alas, Victoria is a re-outfitter!

I was that girl in high school who never wore the same outfit twice - I kind of still am. What can I say: I'm a clotheshorse! And what I would give for a tour of the British babe's closet, but it appears she plays favorites and isn't afraid to be caught in a very similar look. She just wore this casual (for her) grey look with her little men and she wore a similar look back in February - (slightly different top, another pair or heels). The off-shoulder heather grey loose sweater, grey jeans and killer stilettos is an official Posh look. Major.

The Bag To Have: Stella McCartney Treated Canvas Grey Shopper

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:05:33 -0700

I usually avoid falling for Stella McCartney bags because they are so pricey, and because Stella is a vegan, they are never made of leather. However, this Stella McCartney Treated Canvas Shopper, On sale for $477 (Originally $795), stopped me in my clicks. I am obsessed with anything grey right now, and take note because it is a key color for Fall.

Not only do I love the shape of this bag, but the treated canvas creates a super cool texture. And those three rings on either side look like piercings so they give it an edge. Is this one worth the price? Perhaps.

Celebrity Style: Ali Larter

FabSugar — Wed, 02 May 2007 12:29:22 -0700

All I can say is: Ali Larter is a bona fide hottie - and doesn't she know it! Only a girl with confidence can wear such a provocative dress with ease (and some pretty nipple control!). While I have no complaints about this look - from the tousled hair and vixen red lips to the criss-cross platforms - the dress is no doubt risque. I have found a similar dress that is a bit more down-to-earth. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this femme fatale.

To get her look,

Us' Hot Hollywood Style Winners: Ashlee Simpson

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 11:18:59 -0700

Ashlee is looking more and more like a lady these days and I like it! No wonder US Magazine voted her "The Swan." Actually, she does resemble a swan in these photos with her long locks and svelte body. This grey sweetheart dress is super flattering and appropriate for her age. And even though the red-shoes-with-grey-dress combo has been done before, Ashlee keeps it fresh by opting for a square-toe pump. Do I smell a new trend? What do you think about Ashlee's primp look?
