Celebrity Style: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

The always-smiling Mandy Moore lit up a recent red carpet not only with her grin but also with her ensemble. On top, she kept things casual in an Alexander Wang tank and a modern denim jacket. On the bottom, she went sexy in Larsen Gray's black band skirt and nude sandals. Most stars stay away from wearing denim on the red carpet, but I'm glad Mandy attempted it . . . and got it right.

Trend Alert: Two-Tone Clutches

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

One color is just not interesting enough anymore. Agreed. Colorblocking is always fun, and in small doses, like on a Marc Jacobs clutch, it's even more fun. Contrasting black and white is decidedly mod, while tonal colors are downright funky. Two-tone never looked so Fab.

Nice and New: Cynthia Rowley For Target Steel Beverage Tub

casasugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:45:48 -0700

This past weekend's hot weather had me craving lemonade and frosty beer. The next time I throw a party, I'll throw ice and bottles into this Cynthia Rowley for Target Steel Beverage Tub ($12.99). Who can resist the funky fresh mix of Macintosh apple red and '80s throwback hot pink? A powdercoated finish makes this pretty tub weather resistant, and its handles enable it to be easily transported beach- or lakeside. But get yours online, because these cute tubs aren't available in stores.

Resort Trippin', Part III

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

This group of Resort looks can best be described in three "L" words: loose, layering, and legs. Things are shaping up pretty nicely for my Winter vacation. I can choose to be whimsy, like at Lanvin (pictured) or Cynthia Rowley; I can be downright bold, seen at Naeem Kahn and Malandrino; or, I can play it cool wearing Jason Wu, Max Azria, and Vera Wang. Whatever I choose, I will be comfortable, play with silhouettes, and bare some skin. Yep, sounds like a Fab getaway to me.

Summer Sun Solutions For Geeks

geeksugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:05:19 -0700

As a geek and avid beach bum, I hate to restrict my love for net surfing and reading just because of those strong sun rays. I know, most of you thought the LapDome on the left was totally freakish, rightly so, as it's not everyday you see people sporting "tents" with their laptops inside. But it does offer that shelter your laptop desperately craves in the hot sun, and removes that nasty glare which makes it humanly impossible to see anything on your screen.

And for reading, Cynthia Rowley's Resort Collection offers up this gigantic hat with attached sheet ensemble that will shield rays while you read away. . . melancholy girl not included!

FiFi's Fragrances Attract the PYTs

PopSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:30:30 -0700

We're sad to see our favorite TV shows head to hiatus for another Summer, but luckily the stars of the small screen are still coming out to play in Hollywood. Last night Alyson Hannigan, Minka Kelly, and Taylor Momsen got dolled up for the 36th Annual FiFi Awards in NYC. The ladies helped honor the night's big winners, which included Daisy Marc Jacobs and Intimately Beckham Women. We can see that they looked gorgeous in their springtime dresses, and something tells us that the lovely ladies smelled just as sweet.

Fragrance Review: Cynthia Rowley Flower and Petal Eauxs For Avon

bellasugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 08:00:51 -0700

Do you remember back in February when I told you about Cynthia Rowley's upcoming fragrance launch with Avon? A few weeks ago the scents became available just in time for Mother's Day. This launch date was no accident. These two similar scented fragrances have been created, one lighter than the other, for mother and daughter.

I just love this sweet concept. Cynthia Rowley recognizes that young girls can't wait to grow up so they can dress, smell and wear the same makeup as their mothers. She embraces this connection and has developed Flower Eau de Parfum (50 ml, $30) and Petal Eau de Toilette (30 ml, $15) in conjunction with each other.

Flower comes in an opaque white bottle with raised circles and has a thin, black grosgrain ribbon around its silver neck. It contains light, soft, powdery notes of lily, freesia, cashmere woods, vanilla, musk, velvet woods and sandalwood. Petal comes in a hot pink see-through bottle with the same design but it has a white ribbon and a lighter, more sheer juice with hints of lily of the valley and fresh greens.

I prefer Flower because of the distinctive freesia presence, but I would also wear Petal in the afternoon as more of a splash. And like I said before, the prices are fabulous. It's been a while since we've seen a high-end designer create an affordable luxury fragrance for the masses, and hopefully this is the first of more to come.
