10 Warm Winter Coats You Need Now!

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

I'm all about taking precautionary measures during flu season. Besides getting my annual flu shot, I always make sure to bundle up and stay warm. That's where a fabulous warm Winter coat comes into play. I own an arsenal of toppers from my days in NYC, but if you're still looking for that perfect outerwear piece, check out these 10 Winter coat picks. There's houndstooth print for McQueen lovers, pea coats for the classically chic, bright red for the daring stylephile, and fresh ponchos for the fashion-forward. The best thing? Every item is priced under $300 - sweet. I own a green anorak jacket similar to this Charlotte Ronson Army Twill Jacket ($290), and I can't live without it.

A Fabby Halloween: Working Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume, both for time and for money, and want to be able to recite a really great line throughout your spooky evening, consider being a Working Girl.

Now is prime time for an ode to this '80s power chick flick: shoulder pads are in. We all have the office basics for this, but insert the largest shoulder pads you can find into your blazer. Tease your curls, wear your pearls, and slather on the red lipstick. Bonus funny points for wearing white sneakers instead of sexy black pumps. "I have a head for business and a body for sin."

A Fabby Halloween: Flashdance Fever

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:02:22 -0700

Who can forget Jennifer Beals's sexy moves in '80s cult classic Flashdance - remember that water scene? Sizzle. She alone might have been responsible for the flurry of females dashing to get themselves an oversize sweatshirt and leggings - I know I sure did. Hone in her ultra-old-school vibe with the right accessories: red pointy-toe heels, a bodysuit, leg warmers, dangly earrings, and a permed '80s hairdo. What a feeling!

A Fabby Halloween: A Stepford Wife

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

I know it's a demeaning classic, but have you ever read The Stepford Wives? The book is pretty good and a very quick read. I read it after I saw the remake movie version with Nicole Kidman, then I rented the '75 original. I don't know why I was so fascinated. Probably the same reason I love femme bots. The only time I would encourage dressing up like a blond robot is Halloween. So don't take it too seriously, it is kind of fun to dress up like Barbie. The nice thing about being a Stepford is that it isn't a slutty costume. Remember, the men of Stepford didn't want their wives flaunting their goods all over town, just in their own sick private worlds.
