Look Book Love: Zara, September '09

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Zara girl. As of late, I can't get enough of its sophisticated and fairly affordable options. In fact, the Spanish retailer just announced it will start selling its collection online in the UK and other European countries - lucky! Sigh, for now, let's lust after its September '09 look book. Everything we need for Fall was on display: cozy sweaters, tailored military coats, faux fur, lace, lush leopard prints, and a to-die-for collection of boots. Zara's eye for detail leaves me swooning for every piece - this sleek wool cape is at the top of my list. What's on yours?

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Fall hues can be tricky, but Claudia Schiffer can serve as our model (pun intended!). The gorgeous mommy picked her kids up from school in an ensemble that is neither too polished nor too messy. On top, she looks refined in an orange sweater, topped with a beige poncho that takes center stage. On bottom, she went boho with dark jeans and Minnetonka moccasin boots. There couldn't be more perfect finishing touches than her small burgundy purse and burgundy Chloe sunnies.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:12:22 -0700

Risk-takers, I dedicate this to you. If you're not afraid to try something daring consider this Avant Garde Draped Cape, one-size. It's a sweet cover-up and, as shown left, will instantly jazz up a simple LBD. One word of advice: This is a dressier look so don't try it with daywear.

The current bidding price is at $11 and the auction ends on Thursday, October 23. Good luck and happy bidding!

Anna Sui Mongolian Fur Cape: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Capes are such a fun way to dress up an evening look. I've actually collected a few, mostly faux and all vintage, in my lifetime. This Anna Sui Mongolian Fur Cape ($1,575) is interesting, to say the least. The thick fur is sure to keep you warm, but doesn't it remind you of Cruella De Vil?

As Fall slowly but surely creeps up on us, it's good to think about how you'll cover up once the weather turns chilly. How about with this Tweed Cape Coat? It's roomy, so it'll be able to handle all your layers, and it can work for sizes extra small to medium. I think Fall without this coat would be a little less fabulous. If you agree, bid away.

The current bidding price is at $32 and the auction ends on Thursday, Aug. 28. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Caped Crusaders

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

I have one friend who always loved capes. She sported an awesome black vintage one in the dead of winter before they were even trendy - though they are sort of classic - and she looked immaculate. She would wear it with black skinnies and vintage shoes, to give the cape some street cred. So, for those not ready to be a caped crusader you can do as my friend did or go minimal like at Jil Sander. Or, you can make up a mysterious look all your own - always encouraged.

Trend Alert: Short Capes

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 23:07:03 -0700

Though I already told you about this Fall's hottest coat trends, there is one cute, cutting-edge style I forgot to mention: short capes. Though capes are traditionally armless and bulky, these modern variations are more like coats, with cropped waists, big buttons, and delicate sleeves. A cape is also more timeless than you might think; you can always get away with throwing on a cape for a dressy evening gathering. Here are some of my favorite capes right now.

Derek Lam Tweed Cape, $1,290, available here.

Chloe Oversized Wool Twill Jacket, $1,225, available here.

Mona & Holly Corey Caplet Jacket, $332, available here.
