Halt!- Her in that fabulous Dress!

SATURDAY'S SUGAR: HALT! -Her in that fabulous dress!

http://www.hotinhollywood.tv/

The recent trend in cocktail and formal dresses seems to be moving in a taboo area...bondage halter cocktail dresses. We saw Fergie in that black basket halter dress, Carrie Underwood (one of my fav's) in a floral choker dress....too adorable for words..., and Nicole Scherzinger in a black halter/choker mini. They were all on hand for the American Music Awards. Short was the theme...but the halter bondage neckline was the new trend emerging that night! I love it...I feel that halters and chokers on dresses are very Cindy Crawford 1991....shows off the shoulders and boobs and you don't have to worry about a necklace!

RED SHOE DIARIES - www.hotinhollywood.tv

Saturday's Sugar: Red Shoe Diaries

Hot Couture by Kelley West

Dear Red Shoe,My tale is one of lust, sex and betrayal!! I am lusting after these super sexy strappy numbers I saw Natalie Portman wearing during a recent television interview! Maybe it's my imagination but it seems Hollywood's elite are all "seeing red!" We've spotted everyone from Ms. Portman, Beyonce, Carmen Electra, Nicole Kidman and many others trotting around in their own little red "Hoochie Mama" tappers!! I myself am the proud owner of my mother's vintage red Feragamo pumps! Or at least I was, until she read this article and is now demanding their return! Betrayed by the woman who gave me birth! What should I do, Red Shoe? I am aching with desire and feeling a significant void in my shoe closet!! I suppose I have no choice but to do what any self-respecting fashionistawould...get my perfectly pedicured tootsies down to Sugar on LaBrea and buy new ones!!

CHECK OUT "SATURDAY'S SUGAR" every Saturday on www.hotinhollywood.tv

Saturday's Sugar: Gossip Girl's Guide to Style

So I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL!!! No surprise to many since I am such a drama queen and a fashion whore. I LOVE IT!!!! I also love the fact that we have a new show that has such a fresh point of view on fashion. We haven't had this since Patricia Field set the fashion world on fire with SEX IN THE CITY.

So here we go with what are the essentials in any GOSSIP GIRL'S closet:

ACCESSORIES GALORE: The more the better...BIG BOW HEAD HEADBANDS preferably in red or bold colors, Layered PEARLS, GLOVES, MEN'S TIES, ASCOTS, TEXTURED TIGHTS, KNEE HIGHS, and BOLD BELTS.

SKIRTS: SHORT SEXY SCHOOL GIRL SKIRTS in all plaids, neutrals preferably navy and SKORTS ( shorts that look like a skirt) The skirt has replaced the shorts for spring and summer 2008.

BLOUSES: RUFFLED and PUFFY BLOUSES in every color, shape and form.

VESTS: MEN'S Vests, sweater vests...always layered over a blouse with a ruffle with a tie of some kind.

SHORT SEXY COCKTAIL DRESSES: Vintage inspired short sexy cocktail dresses...preferably in bold colors like YELLOW. Something to wear to catch every guys eye in the room and make the girls jealous!

The style may vary depending on your GOSSIP GIRL TYPE:

Serena: Earthy but sexy! Lots of accessories...a little more rock and roll then debutante.

Blair: Old Hollywood Glamour....diamonds, pearls, and headbands....

Jenny: Molly Ringwald re-incarnated.....vintage clothing devotee to look great but on the cheap!

I love Serena the most. She is rich but not *itchy....and she is gorgeous without trying too hard.........well, it is nice to dream!!!
Tune in to the CW on Wednesday nights at 9 to see GOSSIP GIRL!!!!!

JOY GORMAN HONORED AS "NEXT GENERATION OF MOST TALENTED ENTERTAINMENT EXECUTIVES UNDER 35"

Joy Gorman is one of our original SUGARMOMMAS who has supported us from the beginning. She was recently honored by the Hollywood Reporter and A&E "NEXT GENERATION OF MOST TALENTED ENTERTAINMENT EXECUTIVES UNDER 35"

We are very proud of her achievement in such a difficult and competitive industry. We continued to be blown away by our beautiful and talented clients!!!

Pictured is Jessica Bendinger, Dana Fox (one of Joy's first clients) and the legendary Joy Gorman at her annual Christmas party. She collects toys for TOYS FOR TOTS every Christmas. She is not only beautiful and successful but has a heart of gold !!!!

Below is from the Hollywood Reporter interview:

Joy GormanManager, Anonymous Content Born: Oct. 26, 1973As a 3-year-old, Joy Gorman saw the original cast of "A Chorus Line" on Broadway because her mother -- a single parent with three children -- bought $5 standing-room tickets. Mom's investment paid off when Gorman enrolled at Barnard College at Columbia University and found her niche in the college's historic revue "The Varsity Show." After spending her post-college years working in casting and development, Gorman became a manager in 2002, with two young clients she had met through "The Varsity Show": Dana Fox and Brian Yorkey. "I lost my mom, and I ended up deciding to just work out of my house for a while with Dana and Brian," Gorman says. "When something like that happens, you just can't care about the spec market." Since then, she's joined Anonymous Content and built a roster that includes Dito Monteil, Neil Alsip and Chad Lowe. YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG: Gorman plans to be an executive under 35 longer than most. "My college, Columbia, made a mistake and gave me a degree that says class of '96, so I can get away with pretending to be a year younger than I really am," she jokes. "It hangs in my office that I graduated a year later than I really did." GHETTO FABULOUS: When Gorman was interviewing for the job at Anonymous, founder and CEO Steve Golin asked which high school she attended. "I'm like, 'I can't believe he's asking me this,'" she says. "I went to a pretty ghetto high school (in Yonkers) -- DMX went to my high school. Steve was like, 'I was there in 1968 when Martin Luther King got shot.' I thought, 'I really am meant to work for this person!'" ROCK AND ROLODEX: Music helps soothe Gorman's soul. "I have a band," she says, laughing. "Most of the guys are in the business. Sam Hansen (from Jinx/Cohen) is on guitar, and (screenwriter) Matt (Eddy) is on piano, and I'm lead vocals. It really does help you blow off some steam."

YOU GO, GIRL!!!!!

p.s Dana and Joy are rockin SUGAR dresses in the pic....just had to get that in there...hehehe

PocaHOTNESS Boots!Hot Couture by Jeanette Chivvis
The hottest trend in boots right now is the Pocahontas mini boot. You can see the ever so chic Rachel Bilson, Kate Moss and Vanessa Hughes rocking this recent trend in la la land. They look fantastic with a super mini dress, skinny jeans or even shorts with a oversize sweater on. Everything is coming up FRINGE for fall!! I suggest Wasteland on Melrose, Shabon on Beverly or Chinese Laundry ($50 online). +Sugar on LaBrea+Sugar on LaBrea Blog

Gimme some SugarHot Shops by Jesse Brune
Photos by Alek & Steph
So, I am not one of the many gay men on this planet who is blessed with the best of fashion senses. I often rely on my friends and loved ones to dress me appropriately. So it will not be often that I write about a clothing boutique.
The hot and sexy sugarmommas Kelley West and celebrity coach Jesse Brune.
Sugar on La Brea is special to me and it’s not because of the clothes that you find inside. Sure they dress Paris and Nikki Hilton, the cast of ‘High School Musical”, Scarlet Johansson, the Duff Sisters, The Desperate House-wives (to name only a few)… but the real treasure (and I am speaking only for the men in the house) is that in addition to selling high end garments, the store also provides the most delicious freakin’ cupcakes I have ever had. Ranging in flavor from blueberry pancake to peanut butter and jelly these cupcakes are pure evil in bite size form. Forget the leading cupcake stores you can find scattered all over Beverly Hills, Sugar on LaBrea is where it’s at.
This place is brilliant because it’s a clothing boutique that a young lady’s beau will actually WANT to go to.The icing on the cake of this fabulous find is the owners of the store. Kelley West and Jeanette Chivvis (the cupcakes are hand made by Jeanette’s loving husband David) are the sweetest imports the South has ever offered. You are always greeted with a giant smile and if you are lucky enough a great big Texas hug. Being proper Southern-belles, the girls never let you leave without eating some sweets, and that my friend is the perfect shopping experience.

Sugar on LaBrea is located on La Brea Ave just south of Melrose (323-965-0359). Visit sugaronlabrea.com for you daily fix.

We love Monique Coleman from HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. She came in for the sale and found alot of great SUGAR stuff. This is the YOANA BARASCHI silk jersey dress with pockets that looked amazing on her. She is soo grounded and FAMOUS...what an odd combo in hollywood...and we love her for it. SHe also is modeling the heart necklace from our very own Brooke Benson. Her jewelry is amazing. All vintage pcs restyled with garnets on it. I love the hair....she looks amazing!!!! LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!

THE COLOSIMO SUGARMOMMAS

Yes, they are all related and all beautiful! This is one of our favorite families at SUGAR. Mary Lynn is there mom who discovered us on our website a couple of years ago. The entire family was instantly converted to sugarmommas. We love them...and appreciate them. Even in Chicago you can feel the SUGAR LOVE.

Victoria, Diana, Christina and Elizabeth Colosimo in Chicago.

Victoria in the MOLLY Jackie O dress from SUGAR ON LABREA.

Cosmo Girl loves SUGARCAKES! Read about the boutique and SUGARCAKES in OCT. issue. They are so sweet you can't even think straight....congrats to Dave Chivvis who is the ever creative and designer of the SUGARCAKES. We love you DAVE CHIVVIS!!!

Ohhh...the vma's....blah blah blah! I thought JT was AMAZING ...but Amanda Rowan (pictured next to Paris) is in our HOT seller Kimono Mini by Sigal A. This is the IT dress for the season. Sexy and chic ...AMANDA you look amazing....we love ya....and we love Paris too...she looked great in that animal print dress...

MONIQUE COLEMAN IS ADORABLE!!!! I hope you all saw her on The View. She was so down to earth but glamorous at the same time. We emailed her to tell her how we were so impressed with her on the show and she emailed us back this pic of her in a Yoana blouse from SUGAR. How sweet and thoughtful is that? for an international superstar? We love you Monique.....can't wait to see you soon in the store.

Wow! The SugarMommas went back to high school today when actress Monique Coleman stopped by to pick up some super summer dresses!
The star of the uber popular, "High School Musical" was just as beautiful in person and it turns out, she has one gorgeous spirit as well!
The SugarMommas were quite impressed with how gracious this cute girl was to her fans! She signed autographs and even called one fan on the phone to give a shout out!
Monique bought a ton of dresses which all looked amazing on her and wait until you see the
super fab mega cocktail ring she'll be sporting at her next appearance!
Get in here fast before Monique's selections are sold out!!!!!!!!!

PARIS FASHION WEEK FALL 2008

Even though all we can think about in so cal is mojitos and flip flops in other parts of the world like PARIS....FASHION GOES ON....FASHION WEEK 2008 was last week....let's ponder what we saw....hummmm

Ellie Saab....FANTABULOUS!!! The bigger the sleeve the better on tops, dresses and coats...it is the season of the SLEEVE in 2008 and she nailed it. How beautiful were those dresses? She was my absolute favorite hands down....

Zuhair Murad .....SHORT AND SASSY!!!! How adorable and girly are his dresses. Layered tool is a little tricky for some of us...but it depends on where the waist hits in the dress. Loved his looks...and short is still hot going through fall 2008.

Anna Wintour....ummmm...let's just say not my favorite ensemble....frigid and sharp....maybe for the NY types ....

Jessica Alba....ummmm.....she looks like a picture of me at my dance recital in the 80's. Don't like the hair or the super safe and conservative dress...we love jessica ...just not in this picture.

Dita Von Teese....FLAWLESS!!!!!!! I can't even think of any other word to describe the perfection that went on here.....WOW.....she is amazing!!!!

june gloom is OVER in la la land

June gloom is OVER in la la land. The gloom has faded into the bright and sunny skies. Everyone is working on their tan, a man and a SHORT SHORT DRESS. Some of the best summer minis are from Kate and Kass, Glamsoul, Yumikim, Susana Monaco, and Revolver LA. During the day you were the minis with strappy flat sandals, flip flops or ballet flats...if you love the nightlife and you like to boogie...do the mini with a platform or a great michael kors wooden heel...just make sure all your assets are in place and will not pop out...we wouldn't want a sugarmomma to pull a brit brit. Watch for us on E!NEWS in the next week. We are highlighted in the "SEXY SUMMER SUNDRESS MAKEOVER" by Jay Manuel. We featured Susana Monaco strapless dresses....THEY WERE ADORABLE!!!!

SUGARCAKE FLAVOR OF THE DAY: HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS
