Fab Gift Guide: Hippie Bro

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:04:51 -0800

Hippie Bro is one of the hardest peeps to shop for: he is beyond minimal, opinionated, and anti-everything...except a few things. This Fab Gift Guide should let some sunshine in on this shopping dilemma. (To see all of my Gift Guides, click here. To learn how to add your own ideas to the Gift Guide, click here.)

Under $50

Hemp jewelry is SO over, and really, it was never under. Here's a gift he can sport that speaks his mind and contributes to a good cause. This Global Warming Bracelet is made of 100% recycled scrap leather and 100% of the profits from the purchase price are donated to the Global Warming Fund. There's a minimum purchase of 2 units so get yourself one too! This gift is $5 for one and available here.

$50-$100

This is far out. Fresh has created a Cannabis Santal Gift Set. This kit contains a Eau de Parfum Spray and a Pure Vegetable Soap. This gift is $78, available here.

Over $100

Hippie Bro's clothes are ten years old and full of holes; suffice to say he's not the biggest shopper. So get him a simple, politically-correct Naval Style Pea Coat. This one is made from reprocessed wool therefore helping our environment by cutting down on waste and harmful chemicals. As well, it's produced in New York City by a family owned company and UNITE HERE! Local 169 workers. That should be enough good stuff for bro to accept this wooly gift. This gift is $165 and available here.

Freshen Up Your Flight

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 17:09:33 -0800

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, which means it's time to prepare for lots of frantic travel. If you've got some long flights lined up for the upcoming holiday season, why not turn your travel time into an excuse to pamper yourself?

I love the idea behind this Fresh In-Flight Kit, available for $130 here. This clean-looking white case comes with cleansing towelettes and a hydrating mask to freshen you up during your flight and fend off the drying effects of recycled air. There's also a bottle of green coffee serum, which you apply to your face for a pick-me-up when you deplane. Anyone who has ever taken a red-eye flight can definitely understand the appeal of this product, and it would make a great gift for all of the jetsetters on your list.

What is it About Lip Gloss: Part 2

Community Manager — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 11:26:25 -0700

As my lip gloss obsession continues to spiral out of control, I have yet another fabulous find to share. Fresh launched their "Gloss Absolute" line about a year ago, however, they've just released a brand new color that is so perfect for right now.

It's called DESIRE and it sells for $24. You can buy it online here.

It's a sheer pinky, reddish, coral colored gloss that's super emollient; meaning that it doesn't have that sticky, tacky feel to it like other glosses do.

It's made with shea butter, jojoba oil and pomegranate extract. The pomegranate extract also acts as a plumping agent to give your lips that full effect.

Not only does it look good and has a cute mini mirror on the flip side of the cover, but it tastes and smells good too!

Back to Cool: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 08:00:08 -0700

Will Smith sure has come a long way since his days on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He's since become a huge movie star, but I still crack up every time I see a rerun of this show. Remember all of the crazy '90s fashions? Will in his Hammer pants, Whitney in her bod-con dresses, and young Ashley in her denim shorts - so cool. With a little toning down, their style can easily be translated into our world today.

Never been to Tokyo? Nevermind! Buy Fresh Fruits by Shoichi Aoki, $20, and you'll get a VIP pass to see the craziest street wear from all the coolest cats in the city. The photos are a collection of teen street fashion portraits selected from Japan's most famous street fanzine of the same name.

Buyer beware: as the cover indicates, the fashion in this book tends to get crazy so purchase at your own risk!

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.
