Trend Alert: Collar Necklaces

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Spice up your Holiday ensemble with a collar necklace. This newfound adornment is a happy medium between the old school choker and the classic necklace. It takes form in a wide array of materials ranging from leather and studs to sparkly gems. These necklaces give off a modern Cleopatra aura and make for the perfect statement piece. I wonder if it'll grant me her magical man powers as well . . .

Gift Guide: Holiday Ornamentation

Need a little gift for an acquaintance or twice-removed relative? I love holiday ornaments that can be used far beyond December, like these ABC Ornaments ($6), which would look great on a tree, but would also be cute hung to spell a name in a little girl's bedroom.

For my take on ornaments that will make great little holiday gifts,

How-To: Steal Ideas From Anthropologie's Catalog

How-To: Steal Ideas From Anthropologie's Catalog While I'm admittedly a fan of Anthropologie's furniture, a good part of the appeal is also in the impressive styling in the print and online catalog. I find myself much more likely to buy a sweater when it's modeled by a woman reclined in a beautiful home, don't you?

Celebrity Style: Lindsay Price

Black is back. But while most stars are turning to LBDs, Lindsay Price is doing her own thing. The actress attended the 2nd annual H.E.L.P. Malawi fundraising event in NYC in an all-black ensemble that dazzled from head to toe. I love that she paired up different fabrics — a satin tulip skirt with a rayon cocoon top. The oversized stone and chain necklace and gold sandals provide just enough variation. What a wonderful holiday party outfit!

How-To: Steal Ideas From Anthropologie's Catalog

While I'm admittedly a fan of Anthropologie's furniture, a good part of the appeal is also in the impressive styling in the print and online catalog. I find myself much more likely to buy a sweater when it's modeled by a woman reclined in a beautiful home, don't you? I'm sure many of us have paged through the catalog and envied the interior shots. Here are some ideas for recreating that home style in your casa. Source

Celebrity Style: Amanda Bynes

Along with many other celebs, Amanda Bynes attended Madonna's concert at Dodger Stadium in LA. She wasn't, however, in typical concert gear — instead, she opted for a short black dress, topped with a bright red cropped jacket. Way to stand out from the crowd. The actress further dressed up with chunky strappy black platforms and added glam via a Gucci bag. I doubt she was comfortable, but she looked damn good.

Trendtotting: Lovable Threads From Lia Molly

babysugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:00:09 -0700

Striped dresses and athletic sweats are a dime a dozen. Lia Molly, on the other hand, has a line of crushingly cute clothes for precious lasses. Hand knitted with eye-popping threads, the droolicious details of fabulous appliqués and velvet ribbons add to the charm of each piece. Seen more like a work of art than a sweater or a dress, I am tempted to buy the whole collection. I just don't know how I will choose between the tea party sweater, the mouse beret, or the spotted sweater dress.

The best part about these unique pieces? You can turn them into something else when your tot outgrows them — a pillow, quilt or perhaps even framing the wee wear for a childhood keepsake.

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!

Nice and New: Anthropologie Plumage Shade

casasugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:30:01 -0700

For those of you who decided to splurge on the Peacock Chair, I have found the perfect lamp shade to go with it! And for those who restrained themselves, I've got a more affordable ostentatious bird for you. The Anthropologie Plumage Shade ($108) is embroidered in silk with peacocks strutting about a navy cotton background. It may be overly embellished for some, but if you've taken a liking to the peacock trend, I'm sure you can handle a little fuss. What do you think?

Sale Alert: 25 Percent Off Upholstery at Anthropologie

casasugar — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 05:15:13 -0700

Now, it's no secret that I have a chronically soft spot in my heart for Anthropologie sofas and chairs. So imagine my delight when I found out that their upholstered furniture is now 25 percent off through Sept. 30. As if you needed more temptation to moon over their beautiful choices of textiles for their pieces! Check out some of my favorite finds below.
