Trend Alert: Old-School Waves

bellasugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Don't call it a comeback — waves have been here for years, but this time around in a more individualized way. Rihanna opts for a bouffant 'do paired with sultry cool-toned makeup. Madonna and Lindsay Price go for retro all the way. And Amy Adams fancies it up with a sophisticated clip. I'm liking this old school tribute to the classic 1920s style that features sleek and sexy rolling waves. However it's worn, the look is very structured, shiny, and elegant.
For an easy way to duplicate this style, work in Kiehl's Clean-Hold Styling Gel ($15) when hair is about 80 percent dry. This will give you both hold and shine. Finish blow-drying, then use Conair's Triple Barrel Waver ($17.99) for that delicately curled effect. Set with a high shine, flexible hold spray, such as Kiehl's Weather-Proof, Shine-Enhancing Non-Aerosol Spray ($15.50). Holiday parties, here you come.

Trend Alert: Holey Jeans

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Denim has seen many transformations this year; it's been fun following it. I guess the skinny jean backlash spun out of control.

First, we had baggy jeans, no thanks. Then the denim nip/tuck took over — I'm still into it. Most recently the more subtle slit jeans appeared. And now the '80s are totally back with holey jeans. Mena is strutting her stuff in this risqué jean. She vamps it up with black accessories — what do you think of her little feather hairpiece, btw? Call me crazy, but this is another denim trend I might take for a ride.

Trend Alert: Multifaceted

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

You are a complex creature, so why keep your jewelry simple? Multifaceted stones provide plenty of brilliance to necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Fab says: pile, it, on. Or, notice how quickly a complex bracelet like this one can jazz up a simple heather gray tee. Embrace your multifaceted tendencies.

Trend Alert: Plaid Shirts

FabSugarUK — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Plaid shirts (aka tartan) are all the rage this Autumn/Winter. They're warm, comfortable and they look terrific with skinny jeans or cords. Celebrities such as Lauren Conrad from MTV's hit show The Hills has been spotted in three different plaid tops this season alone. There's the turquoise one, the red one and my personal fave, this blue and black cozy flannel. Below are a few tartan tops that I have been eyeing, look them over and let me know which ones you like best.

Trend Alert: Foodies on Facebook

YumSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:15:08 -0800

Foodies may be serious about eating, but apparently they're serious about computers: Fast-food chains, food companies, and food celebrities are raising their profiles on social-networking platform Facebook.

Last month, we mentioned that Pizza Hut was the first fast-food chain to launch a Facebook online ordering system, so die-hard users never have to leave the site to order dinner. And yesterday, number one fast-food chain McDonald's launched a Facebook fan site of its own to honor the 25th anniversary of its wildly popular Chicken McNuggets.

In a push to connect to its younger customers, pizza delivery Papa John's has launched a new promotion: Anyone who becomes a "fan" of the Papa John's page on Facebook will receive an online redemption code for a free medium pizza with any online order.

It isn't just fast-food chains who are promoting themselves on Facebook — other food industry insiders are following suit. Candy company Mars advertised its "Get Some Nuts" campaign for Snickers on Facebook, and rumors about Next Food Network Star finalist Lisa Garza spread after she changed her marital status on her Facebook page.

I'm surprised to learn that Facebook has become so important in the world of food. Have you been following the food and beverage industry there?

Trend Alert: Black Flowers at Twilight

bellasugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:00:31 -0800

When I think of flowers in my hair, I picture bright colors and island vacations, not quite the things I'd associate with teen vampire movies. However, these attendees of the Twilight premiere in LA all chose floral adornments. Hmm, perhaps that song oughta go, "If you're going to a vampire movie, be sure to wear black flowers in your hair."
Anyway, the three ladies had different takes on this hair accessory – but all chose to make a more subtle statement with fake flowers in neutral shades.

Take Jennie Garth, who uses a beaded flower-shaped barrette to hold her hair over her ear – pretty! Then one of the film's stars, Nikki Reed, held back a messy, sideways braid with a black flower I swear I bought at H&M. Finally, Catherine Hardwicke wears a huuuge flower on her ponytail – she's the film's director, so why not go over the top?

Trend Alert: Feathery Friends

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

It's all about texture, and more texture. Meet my new feathery friends. The hybrid of feather and fluff makes for a fun vintage look. Check out how Kate rocked an extra voluminous bronze Burberry frock, while Nicole Kidman radiated in a white shaggy mini by L'Wren Scott at the Australia premiere. If you're not keen on wearing this look head-to-toe, try separates like Tomei in her Alberta Ferretti skirt. Take the plumage and shake a tail feather.

Attack of the LBD, The Sequel

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:00:22 -0800

I normally hate sequels, but how can you hate when it features a much-loved fashion star, the LBD? The first time around was not enough. More ladies of glamour appeared at events in the classic LBD. But really, what is a classic LBD? These dresses, from designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Jolibe, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alberta Ferretti, are anything but classic. Call it an oxymoron, but the LBD stays strong.

Trend Alert: The Blonde Chubby

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Fun, fun, and fun. Nothing says Casino glamour like the blonde chubby. This is something I think Sharon Stone's turbulent character wore several of throughout the Scorsese film, and, she looked fabulous. These can be found in real or faux fur, brand spanking new or vintage. How much do you want to bet Rachel Zoe's little chubbie is vintage? Emmy's hugs her shoulders just so and jazzes up her blue Alberta Ferretti frock. Sarah Michelle let her Juicy Couture chubby outshine her all-black ensemble — there's nothing wrong with that. Three attempts, three successes. The blonde chubby lives on.
