Fab Finding Follow-Up: New Job, New Wardrobe

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

It's been a while since I heard any news about someone starting a brand spanking new job. Looks like the world is turning. A friend of mine recently started a new sales position which requires her to travel between LA and Seattle - very different climates. She's in dire need of some great airport-to-the-office outfit inspiration, so I asked you to lend her a hand.

I started you off with this ABS Light Grey Boyfriend Blazer ($295). It's crisper than a black blazer and can be thrown over anything. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, is smartly layered. The wrap cardigan will surely keep my friend cozy during flight.

Look #2, created by Sarahab145, is filled with feline intentions. You know how much I love animal prints.

Look #3, created by Zivanod, has a polished rocker vibe. The snake print booties are dope.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Parti Armani

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I never tire of boutique parties. There's always amazing eye candy, yummy apps, and irresistible bubbly involved. A couple weeks ago, I attended an Armani party. The SF store had a special retrospective on gowns worn at awards shows and red carpet events - 'twas amazing. It was Armani, so I needed you to help me put together a simultaneously chic yet fun ensemble. Speaking of red carpet fashion, check out my Red Carpet Faceoff game - fun!

I started you off with these Emporio Armani Quartz and Pearl Earrings ($110). They're the ideal combination of sophistication and pizzazz. Let's see your creations!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, incorporates decadent textures. I adore the sequin and fur combo.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: MJ Dance-Off

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: No Doubt!

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

A couple weeks ago, I saw No Doubt. It was awesome seeing the whole crew back together singing all of their hits – "Sunday Morning" was my fave performance. Side note: Gwen's abs inspired me to hit the gym! Besides the music, I enjoyed seeing everyone's concert gear. Looks ranged from cutoff shorts to touches of punk. Me? I wore this fun Topshop vest with short booties and a faded jean jacket. Since I already had my 'fit down, I asked you to show me what you would wear to No Doubt.

I started you off with this Alexander McQueen Silk Houndstooth Scarf ($575); I'm smitten with the contradiction between the print and the fabric. Let's see my top three picks!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is so eclectic and cool. No doubt, Gwen would appreciate this outfit.

This past weekend was extra special because I attended the Oscar de la Renta fashion show in Lake Tahoe - 'twas fun! It was an annual charity soiree hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue and the League to Save Lake Tahoe, so I needed you to help me seek an elegant ensemble. Fancy, flat sandals were a must and I asked you to layer on the jewels.

I started you off with this Oscar de la Renta Canvas Zebra Cuff ($1,295). Pair it with black bangles and you have a chic, sexy look. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, is ethereal and sweet. Oscar would be proud.

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, I headed to the exclusive King Tut exhibit at the de Young Museum here in SF - so exciting. I saw Tutankhamun's tomb, ancient artifacts, and precious objects relating to the 18th dynasty. Cool, huh? My educational self-immersion took a whole day, so I needed you to put together a sleek ensemble that would withstand a lot of walking and staring.

I started you off with these Giles & Brother Tiny Pyramid Stud Earrings ($78) because they're an ode to beautiful, ancient Egypt. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by chloe bella, complements the theme. That snake bracelet is slithery slick.

Last weekend, in celebration of Bastille Day - a French holiday that celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution - Yum and I enjoyed a scrumptious lunch followed by a round of croquet - we had so much fun! I asked you to help me put together a French-inspired outfit that didn't involve pouf and lace; something more along the lines of Isabel Marant's Spring collection. Yes, obsessed.

I started you off with these Pour La Victoire Charlie Oxford Flats ($200) because I love the slight sheen and it goes with the theme. C'est la vie! Let's see my favorite looks . . .

We had so much fun watching movies and gabbing the night away! I asked you to help me put together a cute cozy outfit I can hang out and sleep in.

I started you off with this Tilly's Splatter Headband Set ($5) because it kept my hair away from my face during the pillow fights. Let's see the top three looks!

On Easter Sunday, the fam and I headed to a huge picnic filled with good food and relatives I hadn't seen since Christmas. The weather was partly sunny so I needed you to help me find a fantastic ensemble that incorporated layers. I was thinking something along the lines of Isabel Marant's Spring collection.
