Today's Obsession: The New Skippy - Flat Espadrilles

OnSugar — Mon, 09 May 2011 03:50:55 PDT

We're always in the market for a shoe as comfortable as it is stylish, so we love OnSugar blog fashion fortuneteller's easy-sweet, flat espadrille picks for Summer.

How many of you wore skippys all summer while growing up? I clearly remember getting crisp white skippys at the beginning of the summer and rocking them out like every day - running around the neighborhood playing tag, jump robe, and having water gun fights. I guess that's the beauty of Brooklyn.

Skippys were the ultimate affordable footwear at the time, and behold - Today's Obsession is the new school summer skippy: the flat espadrille. I am in love. Can't wait for another fun filled summer!

Celebrity Trend Alert: Loafers Are Back!

Hannah Weil — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 03:33:47 PST

The classic look loafers gave to your school uniforms is now the polish they lend to balance your effortlessly cool basics. It's an update on the old-school favorite that makes them a lot cooler than they were in grade school. This time, pair yours with skinny denim, cargos, or leather pants, and forget the regulation-length pleats. For inspiration, we're looking to some of our favorite celebrity influences, like Natalia Vodianova, Nicole Richie, Olivia Palermo, and Jessica Alba who stepped out rocking their preppy versions with relaxed staples, casual layers, and femme contrasts in mini dresses and lace tops. This is exactly how we plan to wear the trend for Spring, letting our edgier separates play perfect opposites against the classic kicks.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Go Glam à la Holly Golightly

Brittney Stephens — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 10:15:05 PST

With only eight days to go until New Year's Eve, I thought it fitting to pay homage to the quintessential party girl and ladylike legend, Holly Golightly. The iconic image of Miss G enjoying coffee and a croissant while gazing into Tiffany's is permanently ingrained in my head. Holly was the ultimate glamorous girl-about-town, and she always dressed the part. Get her glam look with a long black sheath dress ($80), shiny kitten heels, and elbow-length gloves. Make the look modern with a crystal headband and sequin clutch - and don't forget the pearls.

Online Sale Alert! Shoe Clearance at DSW

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:00:08 PDT

I was so excited when I heard DSW opened its virtual doors. While I don't mind hitting up its ginormous store, avoiding the madness is good too. Shoe addicts like myself should definitely check out the clearance section. Start by selecting your size and go from there. It has more footwear than you can possibly imagine.

Feast your eyeballs on this Diba Lainey Leather Ballet Flat ($25, originally $60). It's a little bit quirky thanks to the color, and part classy because of the cut. Quirky ballet flats are my cup of tea. Go find yours.

Get the Look For Less: Alexa Chung

Lucky — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 09:22:05 PST

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

The fashion industry is nothing short of obsessed with former model and MTV star Alexa Chung, even going as far as to call her the new Kate Moss. I think it's her effortless style and the way she puts traditionally nerdy pieces, like buttoned-up oxford shirts, with sexy pieces, like short-shorts and high heels for a cute librarian look. And her hair! Whether it's the cut or the color-I can only imagine that hairstylists groan when yet another client pulls out a magazine tear of Ms. Chung. Get her look for much less here.

Clockwise, from top left: Matty's Wentworth oxford booties, $44.94. dsw.com. Urban Outfitters bird skull necklace, $24, urbanoutfitters.com. Leifsdottir tuxedo shorts, $89.95, leifsdottir.com. The Limited elastic tweed belt, $20.93, thelimited.com. American Apparel oxford shirt, $58, americanapparel.net
