Celeb Style: Eva Herzigova

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

As we approach the holidays, I'm on the lookout for original party looks. Eva's wink may not be up to par, but the slick tuxedo-inspired look she wore to the 2010 Pirelli Calendar cocktail reception in London was beyond Fab. She dressed up her slight harem pants with delicate sandals, a draped white top, and a velvet blazer. Feminine details like a black lace peekaboo bra and radiant art deco earrings are suave touches. A jolt of red satin via her clutch is holiday-tastic.

Drape Front Top - $68.00	Bandeau Lace Bra - $7.00
NEW! Velvet one-button tuxedo jacket - $168.00	Zero + Maria Cornejo Gabi Pants - $250.00
Rouched Satin Fold-Over Clutch - $29.50	rsvp - Casey (Black Satin) - $84.00
Slivertone Link Bracelet Watch - $95.00	Nightcap art deco earring - $42.00

FabSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:37:22 -0800

I recently presented a challenge that was going to take some thinking outside the box. A Fab reader who lives in NYC seeks warm, semi-dressy flats to wear in the Winter that aren't boots or sneakers. She wants to retire the Chucks she currently lives in, so I asked you to help keep her feet dressy-cozy. I started you off with this Banana Republic Black Skinny Jean ($90) because she will be mostly be wearing the flats with jeans and pants. Let's see your suggestions.

Look #1, created by Claire Underwear, is too cute, especially the ruffle flats.

See the rest.

Trend Alert: Patterned Tights

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I've heard friends say they're one of those things that are fun in theory, but dicey in reality. And don't plain black tights seem so . . . boring? Exhibit A: Diane Kruger at the ELLE Women in Hollywood awards. Even though her Balenciaga dress had a marbelized print, she opted for Swiss dot hose and a hot pink clutch. Sometimes more is more, and that means you shouldn't hesitate to whip out those striped, dotted, or zigzag tights you've been jonesing to wear. Patterned tights add depth, texture, and spunk to any ensemble.

Banana Republic's Sporty Sleek Spring '10 Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Banana Republic is giving me something to look forward to come Spring. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. "We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too," said Banana Republic's president, Jack Calhoun. And that they did providing us with neutral-tailored separates along with colorful, silky splashes. I especially love this seafoam silk tunic dress - so luxuriously simple.

While shorts and skirts dominated the runway, cropped pants also played a key role in the storyline. Clean-cut chinos and jeans were cut right above the ankle for a refreshing, chic look. On the accessories front, I adored the straw fedoras and leather-mule sandals. Affordable and amazing - just the way I like it.

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Fashion's Night Out brought out many celebs, one of them being the lovely Kate Hudson. The actress kicked off the night at Vogue's pop-up shop inside Macy's, alongside Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, and Michael Kors. Keeping her fashionable was a strapless plaid Michael Kors dress, long gold Jack Vartanian earrings and gold bangle, and metallic peep-toe pumps. I adore the origami detail on the bodice - perfect for the occasion.

Floral fringe chandelier earring - $42.00	Geo Bangle Bracelet - $30.00

Coming Soon: Banana Republic His and Hers Fragrances

BellaSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:00:50 -0700

I don't know if I could ever do his and hers bath towels, but his and hers fragrances? I can handle that. This month, Banana Republic is set to launch two new complementary scents: Republic of Women Eau de Parfum ($48) and Republic of Men Eau de Toilette ($47). Both are packaged with the clean lines that we've grown to expect from all things Banana.

Ladies first: If you like florals with a bit of a hazy, lingering finish, Republic of Women might just be for you. Enclosed in a sultry plum-toned bottle, this romantic scent contains subtle top notes of sweet osmanthus, spicy bergamot, and juicy lychee; powerful middle notes of peony, pink jasmine, and Moroccan rose; and bottom notes of precious woods and soft musks to even it out.

As for the guys, Republic of Men, my personal favorite of the duo, is definitely not of the gritty, intense variety. More soft than heady, the juice, which is packaged up in a smoky gray bottle, contains clementine, wet plum, and dewy fig leaf at the top for a bit of sweetness; sambac, rosemary, basil, sage, and crushed hazelnut in the middle for a refined edge; and sandalwood, cedarwood, and creamy skin musk at the bottom for a bit of sexiness. While I prefer the men's scent, both are at least worth a sample spritz.

Celeb Style: Rumer Willis

We've been seeing so many hard-edged looks, it's refreshing to see a ladylike sundress - remember those? Sorority Row star Rumer Willis reminds us how fun it is to be feminine, but she adds a touch of tough with a to-die-for black Bottega handbag, silver hoop earrings, and dark nail polish. Everything else is light and oh so lovely.

Trend Alert: Cool Cropped Khakis

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Leave it to Rihanna to wear a sleek pair of cool cropped khakis to a business meeting in NYC - Rihanna does power dressing like no other. OK, so she's wearing a white crop top under, which could be considered unprofessional, but this is Rihanna we're talking about. This ensemb even contains a nautical nod. Sigh.These pants aren't overly trendy, and can be carried into cooler months with smart layers and cozy knits. Heels are a must for a more professional presentation, while exotic sandals take it to foreign territory. I know I've convinced myself to get a pair, have I convinced you?
