Anna Sui for FitFlop: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:25:22 -0800

I admit, I was never a fan of FitFlops, but now that the brand has enlisted Anna Sui to design a line of cozy boots, I might reconsider. FitFlop - known for designing footwear that's biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them - has collaborated with the bohemian designer to create these Shakoha Shearling Boots ($290). The line will be exclusively available at Net-A-Porter.com on Nov.11 and ShopIntuition.com starting Nov. 20. Are you loving them?

Trend Alert: Pin It

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

Move over studs, there's a new embellishment in town: safety pins. These pins have broken out of their sewing kits and into our wardrobe via sparkly earrings, printed tops, bracelets, and slick blazers. America Ferrera feels me. Her Moschino crepe dress would be a safe LBD if it weren't for that amazing safety pin embellishment - such a burst of fun! How punk would you be if you DIY'd your own safety pin creation? All you need is a lot of safety pins and a little imagination. So what are you waiting for? Pin it.

Who's Most Fab at the Anna Sui For Target Launch Party?

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:00:08 -0700

The soon-to-be-launched Anna Sui For Target line gave Gossip Girl actresses a reason to party it up last night. They met up at the Anna Sui For Target pop-up store in NYC, some wearing pieces from the collection. Jessica Szohr opted for sexy, revealing her midriff; Blake Lively looked classy in a tiered frock; Michelle Trachtenberg went for floral; Emma Stone sported an Anna Sui For Target piece, and Taylor Momsen worked her usual punky self. All girls look sassy, but who's most Fab?

I Love Your Shopstyle: The End of Summer

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:00:08 -0700

We have a bountiful Fall wardrobe to look forward to, but for the time being, let's revel in seika's warm-weather finds. The pieces she styled are perfect for the end of Summer. Notice her use of darker patterns via black and white polka-dots and vintage prints. She also has Fab taste in handbags - I'm obsessed with that Alexander Wang bucket bag.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Bohemian Beauty

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Ashley303 isn't a bohemian at heart. Her style is more so defined by modern clean lines and luxe textures. But, she does appreciate bohemian beauty because it has such rich patterns to play around with. The pieces she hunted down are boho at its best - exotic, vibrant, chic. Great work.

Chic Cruise '10 Sails On

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:00:08 -0700

As long as the cunning Cruise '10 collections keep coming in, we'll continue sharing them with you. Next up, we have a mishmash of ensembles ranging from crisp to ethereal by Gucci, Michael Kors, Giorgio Armani, Anna Sui, Christian Dior, Derek Lam, and Narciso Rodriguez - phew! I love how Gucci's Frida Giannini kept things sleek and sexy with streamlined cuts and colors. Keeping the neck high and slit high on this gown is a genius move. Oh, but there's more - don't miss it.
