Look of the Day: Tourista

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

You know I can't resist Paris - I'm thoroughly jealous that Gildalolly is standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. This tourista already visited London and now she's looking stylish in France. I dig the old-school Mickey Mouse tee and white messenger bag. The gray cardi is a sleek way to cover up in case it gets chilly.

Here's what she has on:

Cardigan: Mango
T-shirt: Zara
Jeans: Zara
Bag and Sunglasses: Parfois

Simply Fab: Design Your Own Keds

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Keds are always cute. And I have to say the brand's model, Mischa Barton, is a good fit. It's been a while though, and technology recently made me purchase my first pair since third grade.

When I found out you can customize Keds on the brand's website, I just had to give shoe designing a stab. The technology can look scary, but it's quite easy. After playing around, I created some trés chic Keds from an Eiffel Tower photo I found on the Internet. For $70, I can afford to take a risk and see if it will translate as well in person. Stay tuned: I'll keep you posted when they arrive. Besides lace-ups, you can also choose from regular slip-ons and mini slip-ons. Imagine the creative possibilities - your favorite fashion editorials, magazine covers, celebrity muses, and artwork on a pair of Keds. Beyond Fab.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Ooh la la, Paris Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 16:30:33 -0700

Last week, I asked you to imagine I was about to board a plane to Paris for the fashion week to end all fashion weeks. It's not actually happening, but a girl can dream, right?

I need a wardrobe to floor those Frenchie fashionistas - it's got to be class-act! Parisian women like their classic staples - the Chanel quilted bag, the well-cut pea coat...but they also like to jazz it up with unexpected pieces. Most importantly, they always look tres chic.

I started you off with this Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower Bag, $375, because it's perfect for the occasion, and it's just like the bag Carrie holds in the "Sex and the City" movie! To see all the Paris Fashion Week Fab Finds, go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh, what I would give to be in hova24's strappy sandals right now. She has the Eiffel Tower behind her and a Parisian chic outfit to match the romantic scene. I love her one-of-a-kind dress and how she roughened it up with black accessories. Très belle!

Girls on Film: Anja Rubik and Natasha Poly, Vogue Paris, June/July '09

FabSugar — Fri, 29 May 2009 07:50:22 -0700

You adored Anja Rubik in her sequined minis, so it's my Fab duty to show you more. Check out the blond bombshell having silly fun in front of the Eiffel Tower for Vogue Paris's June/July issue. Oh to wear skates and roll around in the middle of Paris! As if Anja wasn't enough, another blond stunner, Natasha Poly, also stars in this magical editorial, styled by Emmanuelle Alt. This dynamic duo has paved the way for how I want to experience the City of Lights - wearing dazzling clothes, causing a ruckus, and all the while looking effortless. Et voila! Source

Fab Ad: Lady Dior Spring '09 With Marion Cotillard

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:00:08 -0800

Warning: the Lady Dior Spring '09 ad you're seeing has been done by highly trained professionals and should not be recreated! French actress Marion Cotillard appears to be standing at the edge of the Eiffel Tower to fulfill her modeling duties as the face of Christian Dior's Lady Dior handbags. Of course, the always-handy Photoshop has made it possible for this shot to be fantastical. But let's not forget to credit photographer Peter Lindbergh for capturing this beautiful shot of Marion and her handbag. What do you think? Is Lady Dior's latest ad magical or unrealistic?

Look of the Day: Creative Chica

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I applaud any Fab reader who thinks outside the box. Meet jaimisthejam; she's one creative chica because, after drawing inspiration from Dries Van Noten's Fall runway, she gathered a bunch of colorful bangles and created a necklace. Oh, and you better believe I took note of the Eiffel Tower lamp in the background!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Rogan for Target
Skirt: Thrift
Cardigan: H&M
Boots: Thrift

Congrats to jaimisthejam!

Celebrity Style: Miranda Kerr

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:09:46 -0700

There are two reasons I'm envious of Australian model Miranda Kerr. First, she's dating and vacationing with Orlando Bloom and second, she has legs the length of the Eiffel Tower! Now that I got that off my chest, we can move on to her cool, casual style. On her aforementioned romantic getaway, Miranda exuded an easy-going vibe that all vacation-goers should master. She threw on a white V-neck tee, black high-waisted shorts, and some wedge espadrilles. No fuss, no fluff - just the way a vacation ought to be.

The Look For Less: Carrie Bradshaw

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

This (mainly) vintage Carrie ensemble was one of my favorites in the Sex and the City movie. It's also one of the hardest to copy. I did my best, but had to change the color story. Instead of mixing green florals, which costume designer Patricia Field did with the vintage dress and coat, I found some lovely yellow floral pieces. Still cute, yes? The famous Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag is already spawning copies and there are many other gold dangly gold bracelets out there that aren't Verdura (and are much cheaper!).

Smocked Summer Floral Dress - $39.50	ASOS Pyramid Stud Waist Belt - $32.45
Karen Kane Floral Print Jacket - $109.99	Beaded Eifel Tower Handbags in Black/Gold - $75.00
Madalynn Black Multi - $109.95	Ball Drop Bangle Set - $28.00
