Trend Alert: Cat Print Minis

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Sigh, I will never tire of Miranda Kerr's cuteness. In addition to being one of Victoria's Secret's top models, the natural beauty is also a master at casual cool styling. While running errands in her native hometown of Sydney, Australia, she cranked up the fashion factor by pairing a blazer and tee with a vivacious cat print mini. Genius. These savage minis - whether lush leopard, cheetah, or tiger prints - add the ideal dose of animal instinct, and look best paired with loose casual tops. Just look at Miranda for inspiration; you know I will.

A Fabby Halloween: The Flintstones

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

The Flintstones would be so proud to see how their Stone Age fashions have influenced some of fashion's best. Peep Jeremy Scott's Spring '10 collection to see what I'm talking about. The quirky designer featured an awe-inspiring line based off the hit '60s cartoon complete with bone barrettes, bright colors, and animal prints. No doubt, Wilma and Betty would be super stoked to wear his kitschy confections. Thankfully, you don't have to buy designer to achieve the Flintstones' archaic look. Seek animal prints, faux-fur vests, and natural chunky jewelry for sexy Stone Age appeal - Wilmaaaaa!

Go kEsLy06, it's your birthday. Well, her birthday was actually last week, but she still looks amazing nonetheless. The metallic mama celebrated her special day wearing a leopard print top and shimmery gunmetal miniskirt. Can you believe she got it for $8? What a steal! To complete her shine, the fashionphile adorned her feet with a pair of dark silver heels. Hope you had a lot of fun.

Trend Alert: Lush Leopard

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I can't wait to cozy up in lush leopard come Fall. Yes, we've done the animal print thing, but leopard prints stand apart from the crowd with their sophisticated feline appeal. For the upcoming chilly months, layer your pet with wool coats and opaque tights. Shy ones, step into the trend via scarves, gloves, and shoes for minimal commitment and maximum appeal. Show off that roar!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Bachelorette Bash in Napa

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:15:22 -0700

Vegas bachelorette parties are so passé. May I suggest a fresher destination to all future brides? Imagine toasting yourself, or a close friend, in Napa surrounded by scrumptious food and barrels of delicious wine. Of course, clubbing attire isn't required, but that doesn't mean you can't dress sexy. Can you please put together a sassy outfit for such an occasion? Get creative and think outside the box - salud!

I'll start you off with this Betsey Johnson Animal Print Bra ($38) because I want you to figure out a way to slyly show off the racy print.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Napa Bachelorette Party.

2009 Fall: Michael Michael Kors and Kors

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Now that Fall ready-to-wear is all shown and done, designers are showing their lesser priced ideas. Michael Kor's neon notions might have been overboard for you, but his better-priced Michael Michael Kors and Kors lines are also punked up. Alongside simple LBDs, acid wash jeans, stormy prints, biker boots, stripes, and animal prints rule. This line is obviously geared toward (and priced for) the younger consumer, and colors stay in the bold black/white/gray/pink range. Works for me. Source

Online Sale Alert! Cute Clearance at Delia's

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Scrounging through Delia's clearance section was well worth the effort. It's currently stocked with tons of clothes and accessories marked up to a whopping 80 percent off. Doesn't this Delia's Lila Animal Print Cardigan ($15, originally $45) remind you of something Kate Moss would wear? Funny how it bares the same name as her daughter. Coincidence? Probably so, but that won't stop me from being inspired!

Trend Alert: Wild Scarves

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss may have been the originator, but check out that girl Kelly Osbourne. The transformed Brit is strutting her effortless style in a rockin' leopard scarf. That's right people, wild scarves are back with a ferocious roar. These felines add a punch of old school glamour to any ensemble and make for an amazing statement piece. Opt for minimalism and pair these print-heavy scarves with a neutral palette.
