Come Fab Finding With Me: Dance the Day Away

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:00:08 -0700

A friend of mine is in a modern dance group and they're having their recital soon. She invited me to go, and though I'm excited to see her moves, I'm nervous about my outfit. The only other dance recital I've been to was my little cousin's ballet class. I want to look dance-inspired but not foolish. You think you can help? A pretty leotard might be fun to experiment with.

I'll start you off with this Jennifer Ouellette Headband ($75) because it has a sweet ballet aesthetic that will make me fit in with the dancers.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with dance recital.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one. And here is a more detailed explanation of bookmarks from geeksugar.

When I go out dancing, I like to be sexy in a short dress!

A Fabby Halloween: Baby

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

What better way to pay tribute to the late Patrick Swayze than with an ode to his "Baby" in Dirty Dancing? The story of a rich and innocent teenage girl turned infatuated woman will always be engraved in my memory. My favorite scene was when Frances "Baby" Houseman told Swayze she carried a watermelon - hilarious. Replicate Baby's innocent '80s look in a white Summer dress and matching heels, or with high-waist denim shorts and a cropped white top. Oh yes, don't forget the tight curls and sexy dance moves!

Glitterati: Christine Mighion

Christine Mighion is taking us to a whole new level with her eco-friendly jewelry line. “The jewelry industry relies heavily upon mining companies to generate raw materials for their products. Unfortunately, the mining process creates significant waste and contaminants, causing harm to the land and its inhabitants,” says Mighion. With that said, she's taken it upon herself to create a beautiful and sustainable collection of fine jewels. Every piece from her line is handmade using recycled gold and conflict-free precious and semi-precious stones - awesome.

Her premier collection, dubbed called Lustre, was inspired by “simplicity in form, timeless design and the dance of light.” I love the combination of colorful sapphires, aquamarines, chocolate diamonds, and garnets. In fact, I can see some of her pieces as unique engagement rings.

FABTV: Phoenix, "Lisztomania" (SF Brat Pack Mash Up)

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:23:22 -0800

I feel a smile coming on . . . this brand spanking new Phoenix video was filmed in my hometown, San Francisco, over the past couple Sundays. It's fresher than fresh. The kids are local talent, and one of my friends is even one of the danceaholics in it - hi Trish! (She's the vibrant redhead with the cool printed tee). It's so spirited. The dance moves may look familiar - an ode to one of the best scenes in The Breakfast Club. And the shots of neon garb hone in on the awesome '80s vibe. Smile on.

Celine Watch Me Dance Clutch: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:33:22 -0700

Clooneywoman posted this Celine Watch Me Dance Clutch ($840, originally $1,200) in the Love It or Hate It? group, and she wants to know: do you love it or hate it? She points out that it feeds into Fall's neo-folk mood, but I'm not so sure about the mix of colors. I do love the name though! What do you all think?

FABTV: Flashdance, "Maniac"

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:15:22 -0700

Do you ever do the Flashdance workout? You know, strip down, and sweat and dance your ass off in the privacy of your own home? Fab does it, just ask my neighbors. Bonus points if your dog sits there watching you. Dancing is one of my favorite exercise methods, and this workout is free . . . as well as free-spirited. Get your hips swirling, head twirling, stretches bouncing, and you too can have Jennifer Beals's bootie. Or so we try. Either way, it's good for the body and soul. Plus, it's an excellent Halloween look.

A Fabby Halloween: Cancan Girl

FabSugar — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:16:22 -0700

If I didn't already plan my Halloween costume this year – I'm going to be a mermaid - I would totally be a cancan girl. But hey, there's always next year, right? In case you didn't know, cancan dancers first derived from Paris in the mid 1800s. They were known for performing lively, leg-kicking dances in a chorus line. Since then, the dance style has spread across the world. You can always spot a cancan dancer by her awesome costume: long fluffy skirts, petticoats, corsets, stockings, and colorful feather headgear. You too, can be a cancan.

FABTV: Kylie Minogue, "Love at First Sight"

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 08:15:22 -0700

It's Kylie fever all over again. Kylie has graced FABTV a couple times, but it's been too long. She just kicked off her tour and I am kicking myself for not getting tickets. But I'll always have her kick-ass music videos; really, there are so many of them. "Love at First Sight" is classic Kylie singing and dancing for the camera; dig her sassy moves. She often has a futuristic vibe in her videos, which I love. Here she is spinning in a grid-graphic land, surrounded by robotic backup dancers - similar to the ones in "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Kylie is pretty casual here, cargo pants (with thong showing, hey, it was '02) and a white beater, but she's all about neon accents: an orange KM arm cuff, green eye shadow, and yellow pumps. And that single "K" earring - love at first sight.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:50:00 -0700

I hate to be predictable, but you knew this was going to happen. Didn't we all swoon when we saw Diane in frothy lavender Marchesa at the annual New Yorkers For Children Spring dinner dance in NYC? We should have seen it coming with her hint of icy lavender the day before. I saw this dress live at Marchesa's Fall showing, and I've been waiting for someone - not just anyone - to wear it. And Diane does, to perfection. She compliments the voluminous one-sleeved frock with cool-gray accessories and heavenly makeup. There couldn't be a more perfect frock for our girl - it's dramatic, feminine, forward. Diane continues to deliver gifts of pulchritude.
