Design Your Own Chucks!

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I've always been a fan of Chucks. They're comfy, iconically cool, and perfect for kickback days. You can imagine my excitement when found out I can make my own personalized pair with the brand's new custom creator tool. All you have to do is pick a style, choose a color or print, pick embellishments, and sign your name on the dotted line - voila! Since I've been dreaming of feline prints, I created these fresh high-top kicks complete with a purple animal print and my name at the bottom.

In addition, you can help out the (PRODUCT) RED campaign by choosing the Make Mine (RED) option, where 15 percent of your purchase will go to the Global Fund. I'm always down for a good cause. Prices start at $62 and delivery takes two to four weeks - start designing!

Look of the Day: Dancer Style

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:50:22 -0700

When I was young, I used to pretend I was a ballerina and dressed up in tutus everywhere I went. I know, it sounds a little silly, but I'm sure raccoon_hime feels me. Her dancer style is so ethereal and cute. I like how she turned her short dress into a ballet-style skirt - way to use your imagination.

Here's what she has on:

Skirt: DIY
Top: H&M
Shoes: Vintage
Necklace: H&M

Congrats to raccoon_hime!

Trend Alert: Studded Shorts

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:50:22 -0700

We all own a pair of denim cutoffs, but what about studded shorts? Like studly vests, they add a unique rocker-girl vibe to your overall look and are a quick and simple DIY. Personally, I refuse to pay top dollar for such a fleeting yet cute trend. That's why I headed to my local fabric shop for a pack of studs and a glue gun. $6 and 20 minutes later, presto chango - studded shorts!

Look of the Day: Shredded Hipster

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Why pay $100 for a destructed tee when you can make one yourself for much less? That's exactly what Rinnyriot did, and here she is showing off her rad DIY top. I love how the sensational, shredded hipster paired her torn tee with skinny jeans, Roman-inspired sandals, and jumbo earrings for a casual, cunning ensemble. What a creative cat!

Here's what she has on:

Tee: DIY
Sandals: Steve Madden
Jeans: Urban Outfitters
Earrings: Unknown
