Check out Avah's relaxed ensemb — proof that casual doesn't mean sloppy. In fact, this is easy, but so on-trend: plaid button-down, aviators, and white boyfriend shorts. For flair, cheeky sunglasses — how perfectly Summer '10.

Here's what she's wearing:

Shirt: Forever 21
Pants: Forever 21
Necklace: Forever 21
Shoes: Vans

Congrats to Avah!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Watermelon Vans: Love It or Hate It?

Nothing quenches Summer thirst like a succulent watermelon.
Vans at ShopStyle

Nothing quenches Summer thirst like a succulent watermelon. Speaking of, how awesome does a Watermelon Rum Mash sound right about now? Vans are a classic throwback to '80s surf/skate — I just bought a new purple pair. But I'll wave these Watermelon Vans ($48) good-bye — too silly. E tu?

March Shopping Madness! Candy Kicks

There's no better way to exude youth this Spring than with candy kicks.
Vans at ShopStyle

There's no better way to exude youth this Spring than with candy kicks. But shy away from chunky, boyish sneakers — instead, invest in lean low-tops in exuberant colors. Not only are they super comfortable to frolic in, they're also pure eye candy. Pick a pair in your favorite hue and wear it with a voluminous mini, playful tee and a lightweight cardi. Fun!

Peace, love and fiber-friendly fabrics — that's how to please the Hippie Bro.
Arbor at ShopStyle

Peace, love and fiber-friendly fabrics — that's how to please the Hippie Bro. Your bro was way ahead of the eco movement. Pssht — he's been composting and driving a diesel for years. But he's (secretly) happy that now it's not all hemp and hippie beads. Show him you appreciate his earth-saving sensibility with eco-chic brands like Loomstate and Alternative Apparel.

Fab Gift Guide: Kid Bro

Your kid bro might be hella annoying at times, but it's only because he wants to be like you!
Dakine at ShopStyle

Your kid bro might be hella annoying at times, but it's only because he wants to be like you! This holiday, show him you care with some fabulously fun gifts. These budding boys are all about the cool factor. I know a kid bro who would go bonkers over these Dakine Omega Pipe Gloves ($50). The waterproof fabric is perfect for some snow ballin' action, and he'll love the artistic, blue design.

Shoes

Trendtotting: Vans

Slip into Summer with a pair of versatile Vans ($25) for your lil one.

Slip into Summer with a pair of versatile Vans ($25) for your lil one. In the past, I've been partial to Pumas, but as the warm weather moves in and trips to the beach become more frequent, the traditional canvas shoes allow my tots to take them on and off on their own. And, the sturdy soles help them navigate hillsides a bit better than sandals. Practicality aside, Vans come in a myriad of designs from old-school black-and-white checkerboard to flames of fire and animal adornments. If you're into family dressing, mom and pop can also sport these comfortable kicks.

Fab Gift Guide: Big Man on Campus

He may be your typical collegiate, but he prefers to think of himself as the Big Man on Campus.

He may be your typical collegiate, but he prefers to think of himself as the Big Man on Campus. He runs on a diet of beer, pizza, and Red Bull, works out with his iPod, and lives in his school's hoodie. You don't want to mess with his system, but it might help to throw a puffer vest or another Henley into the rotation — he is living on a college budget, after all.

Halloween

A Fabby Halloween: Punky Brewster

She was so '80s.

She was so '80s. She was so cute. She was so my hero. Seriously, she was a couple years older than me and I thought she was the coolest. So much, in fact, that in third grade I asked my teacher to address me as 'Punky.' The fact that I just confessed that somewhat embarrassing bit of personal history shows how much I care (tear).

But back to Punky, the real Punky. She was the most chipper orphan I ever saw — with the most unique fashion sense. Through her adventures with Henry, her pup Brandon, and her pals Cherie and Margaux, Punky spread her Punky Power. We witnessed her blossom into adolescence and boy did she blossom, i.e. Soleil Moon Frye publicly announcing her teenage breast reduction surgery, but I didn't notice. I just enjoyed the declarations like "holy mac-a-noley" and her funky fashions. It's never too late to embrace your inner Punky — do so this Halloween!
