FABTV: The Chemical Brothers, "Elektrobank"

FabSugar — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:12:22 -0700

In this Spike Jonze directed vid, Fab favorite Sofia Coppola plays Janet, an injured gymnast. With all the Olympics hoopla, this was the perfect FABTV for right now. Sofia looks every bit the part: feathered bangs, scrunchied pony, toned bod (but maybe too skinny, have you seen today's gymnasts?). It's obvious it's not Sofia with the long shots and complicated maneuvers, but that just makes it more campy. I don't really pay attention to the music during the floor routines, but if someone chose The Chemical Brothers, that would be dope. I'm just sayin'. Drama-filled - oh no, did she injure her faulty ankle? - and easy on the eyes, watch to see if Janet wins another one for the trophy case.

Olympic Style

Go team go! My obsession with the Olympics has not diminished this week, it's grown. I knew there had to be some style to such amazing events, and I found it. Who said uniforms were blah? Not I. Maybe Ralph Lauren's Opening Ceremony ones were, but how do you feel about the American male swimmers' red, white, and sexy all over swimsuits?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Go Team USA!

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Is everyone obsessing over the 2008 Olympic games as much as me? You all had a lot to say about Team USA in their Ralph Lauren getups, so I was interested to see what you would come up with on this one. Even I found myself dressing in blues and sporty denim last weekend, inspired by the hot male swimmers and tan volleyball players. It's pretty addictive stuff!

I started you off with this cute Forever 21 Olympic Retro Tee ($19); it's lightweight and celebratory, in a Fab way.

Let's see what you all came up with!

The Gold, created by maria212134, is subtly sporty. That star print scarf is a must have.

Team USA in Ralph Lauren: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 14:30:22 -0700

Last night after my relaxing hair cut (I love it, thanks for asking!), my pup and I cozied up on the couch and watched the Olympics opening ceremony. Did you? I multitasked and caught up on my gossip mags while watching, but I waited to see Team USA in their Ralph Lauren designed outfits.The whopping 650 American athletes looked dapper in navy blazers emblazoned with oversized Polo ponies, off-white trousers, broadcloth shirts, white twill newsboy caps and striped silk neckwear; men wore ties and the women wore scarves. The goal was to create "something simple enough for the athletes to put together, yet stylish enough to elevate us as a country," said David Lauren, the designer's son and the company's senior vice president of advertising, marketing and corporate communications.I thought the team looked Fab. However, I felt they all looked like men. Maybe the women could have worn flippy tennis-like skirts? These athletes have such amazing bodies, I would have liked them shown off better. And the newsboy hats, though adorable, were a bit distracting. I wanted to see the smiles and proud faces better. I guess we'll just have to wait and watch them in their body con swimwear and thigh exposing volleyball bootie shorts!

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Today is the start of the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing and I know what I'm doing tonight after my hair cut . . . I'm watching the opening ceremony! I'm excited for the Olympics; I enjoy the Summer sports more than the Winter games. Swimming, synchronized swimming, diving - anything water related - and gymnastics are on my schedule. Do you know anyone who's actually going to Beijing? Luckies. Let's put together a sporty, Olympic-inspired wardrobe for them to bring. Think this week's Project Runway, jackets and sneakers . . . red, white, and blue!

I'll start you off with this cute Forever 21 Olympic Retro Tee ($19); it's lightweight and celebratory, in a Fab way.

Which Team USA Project Runway Look Was Most Fab?

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Who's excited for the Olympics?! I am. And after last night's episode of Project Runway I am even more excited. Fashion and the Olympics do mix. And it's always nice to see Olympian Apollo smile. Last night's episode was the best thus far; it was very entertaining with Blayne's "tanorexia," Kenley's giggle attacks, and Jerrell's commentary. Sillies aside, I thought the winning three looks were all stellar. I'm starting to really like the winner - no spoilers here! - so I was hoping (s)he would win, but all three were impressive. But, if you were the guest judge, which all-American look would you have chosen as the most Fab?
