Online Sale Alert! Savings on Fall Fashion at Nordies!

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:13:54 -0700

It's not very often that you get to raid a sale on stock that's just coming into a store... but that's the brilliant notion behind the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Don't expect clearance-house prices or anything, but there are definitely still good deals to be had - especially considering that Fall isn't even close to being here yet.

I am in total lust with this French Connection 'Mystify Me' Satin Shift Mini Dress, $100 (originally $158). The plum satin, the soft pleats - this cocktail party perfect dress just beckons me: "Fab, Fab, you know you want me...".

Watch out, this sale will get you, too!

On Our Radar: Fall Christian Louboutins

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 07:01:33 -0700

Ah, those devilish red-soled shoes... Those devilish red-soled shoes that tempt me and the rest of the female population into spending all our money on them! Well, lucky us, another round of devilish tempters have just sprouted up: the Christian Louboutin fall collection is officially in stock at Neiman Marcus - the Elastic Short Boots, the Mary Janes, the platforms - all present. Gotta love 'em!

Fab Flash: Kate Moss and Pete Doherty the Faces of Roberto Cavalli

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 05:02:33 -0700

Roberto Cavalli has announced that Kate and Pete will separately be fronting his fall women's and men's advertising campaigns. Both were photographed in Ibiza, Spain, but each campaign has a different feel - Kate's is in color and has a safari-explorer theme to it, while Pete's is in black-and-white and has a more timeless feel. The ads are set to debut in July fashion magazines worldwide. And they look very classic Cavalli to me!

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 16:42:54 -0800

I love online deals, but there's really nothing that can match the frenzied excitement of a good department-store sale. That's why I'm thrilled about Bloomingdale's First Chance, which starts tomorrow, Nov. 2, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 5. Held at Bloomie's locations nationwide, this event is offering crazy discounts-namely, an additional 40 percent off of almost all already reduced fall fashions.

Give Boring the Boot

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 11:08:25 -0700

If you only buy one pair of boots this Fall, it will probably be a basic black or brown pair. But if you purchase two pairs of boots, why not make the second pair a little bit more interesting? There are tons of crazy-cute boots out there right now that are anything but boring, with wild colors and patterns as well as cute embellishments. Here are some of my favorites.

Kate Spade Keera Boot, $425 to $475, available here.

Giuseppe Zanotti Blue Suede Boot, $1373.95, available here.

Candela NYC Retro Boot, $410, available here.

Fun Fall Buy: Leather Skirts

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 23:33:48 -0700

The phrase "leather skirt" may conjure images of biker babes in black minis, but this Fall, the leather skirt is getting a toned-down twist. Sure, there are some short styles, but these earthy skirts are anything but trashy, with brass buttons, flared bottoms, and supple, soft leathers. Plus, the sturdy styles are a great option for cold weather. Here are my favorite leather skirts in stores right now.

Lafayette 148 Leather Skirt, $798, available here.

Banana Republic Heritage Snap-Front Leather Skirt, $298, available here.

Diesel Leather Mini-Skirt, $182, available here.

Good News: Fall 2006 Isn't Just About Leggings

FabSugar — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 10:23:23 -0700

As you know from my earlier post about Fall 2006 fashion trends, I am definitely on the fence about the whole leggings and skinny jeans thing. I am just not sure I can pull off the look. One thing I know I can handle, however, is another Fall trend: tailored wide-legged trousers. Here are a few of my favorites, including designer and non-designer finds:

Designer Picks

Marc by Marc Jacobs Herringbone Wide-Leg Pants, $278.00, Available here.

Theory Emery M Pant, $230.00, Available here.

A Versatile, Tailored Look from DVF's Fall Line

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 16:44:52 -0700

The new Diane Von Furstenberg fall line just hit stores, and this ultra-feminine skirt and flirty top combo really caught my eye. I love the way DVF clothes fit, and I can see this outfit getting lots of use-for a formal Thanksgiving celebration, dinner with the in-laws, or a meeting where you want to look your best without worrying about what to wear. Plus tweed is so great for fall, and the sleek lines are both pretty and womanly. Isn't that exactly how a new outfit is supposed to make you feel? Get the silk top for $185 and the skirt for $198 here.

Fall Fashion - Don't Break Your Back

PopSugar — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 00:32:25 -0700

The poor mail carrier must need a serious massage this month after lugging around the September issues of various fashion magazines. Some of the titles even boast that they are over 800 pages. It's become such a joke that Gawker has begun to weigh this years issues. So far, 4 titles equals 9.5 lbs. Don't say we didn't warn you when you pack that beach bag this week - remember to bend at the knees when lifting heavy objects.
