Trend Alert: Stormy Prints

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:30:22 -0700

My new go-to cocktail is a Dark and Stormy. Imagine yourself in a dim dive, drinking one of those bad boys, in a stormy print. Tough stuff. Kristen Bell upped her stormy stuff by wearing this marble-print Vena Cava layered over a printed tank and studded Louboutins. And yet, she doesn't appear, too, intimidating. She softened things up with her killer smile and golden locks. Whether a thunderstorm or lightening strike, stormy prints are electric.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sayonara Brunch

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Tear, a good friend of mine is moving to Japan this week. I'll miss her dearly, but I know she's in for a great adventure. To send her off with good memories, a group of us took her to a favorite eatery, Lime, for a sayonara brunch. I asked you to help me put together a cunningly cute outfit that included a jumpsuit. Remember this was just a brunch, so nothing super fancy.

I started you off with this Foley + Corinna Sling Bag ($450) because it was one of my must-have pieces in the look book. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is casually sleek. I like how the belt adds a fun quirky touch.

Trend Alert: Drawstring Bags

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:06:03 -0700

There are two rules I abide by when shopping: function and fashion. That's why I'm so smitten with the resurgence of drawstring bags. This sporty, luxe attitude goes perfectly with today's casual cool style and even translates well when paired with tailored ensembles. Oh, on another note, I purchased a crackly gold metallic version of this Foley + Corinna Drawstring Bag ($445) a couple months ago - so rad.

Look Book Love: Foley + Corinna, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Excuse me while I scoop my jaw off the floor. I didn't think I could love Foley + Corinna more than I already do, but my lust just got stronger thanks to its kickass Fall look book. Dana Foley and Anna Corinna dreamt up a collection of handbags made in rich Autumnal hues and buttery soft leather. The convertible bag remains a Fab fave, but this smart sling bag comes in a close second. Isn't it a cool, uptown take on backpacks?

You know Fab's in a Fall state of mind when my most wanted go from neon and skin-baring to jewel-toned and cozy. Though I will be holding off on wearing tights for as long as possible, I already have my sights set on some slouchy boots, amazing bags, festive jewelry, and sexy separates. Whether you're going back to cool or back to the grind, do so in fabulous style.

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

No matter the state of the economy, it never hurts to invest in items that give more bang for your buck. I'm talking about things that are convertible, reversible, and that can be styled in many different ways. Are your ears perked? Good because I did some searching and found 14 items that are way worth your money. The most expensive item, and my favorite, is this Foley + Corinna Reversible Mid City Tote ($485). I can wear it on the suede side when I'm feeling posh and the leather side when I'm craving punk.

Trend Alert: Red Hot

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Is it just me or is it red hot in here? I'm not opposed to donning a LRD but I prefer to take the alternate route with red accessories. They're ultra sexy, ultra sassy, and not so in-your-face. I don't need to tell you why this Christian Louboutin Glittered Platform Pump ($775) is scorching hot. All I need to do now is tap my heels three times for all my fashion wishes to come true.
