A Fabby Halloween: Bat Ears

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

It's a sign. I'm trying to decide on my pup Annabelle's Halloween costume, and after a weekend of pet store perusing, we're leaning toward these adorable bat wings. Since my little Frenchie is black, the black bat wings looked so simple and chic. Then, today I find these Giles & Brother Tiny Bat Studs ($78). Done and done. If you've decided to go costume-free this Halloween, can I beg you to be a wee festive and indulge in these or some other spooky jewels?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Bridal Shopping

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, I went wedding dress shopping with my BFF. As her bridesmaid, it was my duty to help her find that perfect wedding dress. We had appointments lined up all day so I needed you to help me find a cunning and comfortable outfit. Sure enough, my arms were loaded with wedding dresses, so that hands-free bag came in handy. Guess what? She found her dress - yay!

I started you off with these Jimmy Choo Morse Patent Leather Flats ($415). The cushioned foot bed kept my feet happy and comfy. Let's see what you all came up with . . .

Look #1, created by maria212134, is all about function. That YSL messenger bag is to die for.

Look #2, created by lizzylu49, exudes Fall fun. I like how her moody floral print dress is tempered with a leather jacket.

Trend Alert: Long and Lovely Beads

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

A subtle way to wear a bohemian rhapsody is by trailing some long and lovely beads around your neck. SJP has been advocating statement necklaces all year, here, she lightened things up with some bronze double stranded pearls. Pearls are a fine option, and there's so much more to play dress up with. Play away . . .

Fabworthy: Giles & Brother Tiny Safety Pin Necklace

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 03:00:08 -0700

A safety pin isn't the first thing I would think to wear around my neck, but I instantly became smitten with the concept when a co-worker wore this Giles & Brother Tiny Safety Pin Necklace ($75) to work recently. Darling, right?

It's the perfect everyday necklace because it's subtle and non-distracting. So, you can wear it with any outfit and it won't clash or get in the way. It would especially make a cute gift for a designer friend, who can use it in case of fashion-emergency situations.

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.

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Nicole was out and about this weekend in a laid-back but, of course, stylish outfit. It's always all about the accessories with this girl, and this is no exception. She added a harder edge to her taupe Mason ruched tank and favorite skinny jeans with some rather fierce Givenchy peep toe heels and her trusty Balenciaga bag. This is a look the average Betty can easily put together herself, minus the big designer names - you know what I mean. We all have a pair of fierce heels in our closets and with Nicole as inspiration for how to wear them during the day, I just might break mine out.

Trend Alert: Girlie Chains

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 06:00:22 -0800

Chains are no longer for biker gangs and '80s getups. Today's chains are girlie and delicate - but with no less attitude. I love chains of all sizes, styles and metals, and these two blondes prove that chains go be both sassy and retro chic. You can find girlie chains on shoes and bags but I prefer them where they dazzle the most: as jewelry, to compliment your glowing complexion. Go on, razzle dazzle 'em.

Cuff Love

FabSugar — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 13:00:22 -0700

Wasn't I just saying that arm armor is here to stay? Leave it to style setter Sienna Miller to prove me right! As seen in this week's Life & Style, cuff love is a plenty. There are so many styles already available so good luck narrowing down your purchases. I'm already planning on mixing metals or just letting the focus go to one dramatic cuff for all to see. Go on, feel the cuff love.

Glitterati: Giles & Brother

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:00:08 -0800

Jewelry creator extraordinaire Philip Crangi has dazzled us with his raw approach to design for a while now. What happens when you throw another Crangi into the mix? Giles & Brother.

Philip, along with his sister Courtney, draws inspiration from a range of places, from classic estate jewelry to African textiles. But what makes this diffusion line more wallet-friendly is replacing semiprecious stones with rhinestones and vintage beads. As long as it sparkles, I'll take it. Prices range from $75 to $300 and the line can be found at Barneys Co-op, Shopbop, and Oak NYC.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: King Tut Exhibit at the de Young Museum

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.
