Chris Benz Kelly Patent Leather Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 09:00:22 -0800

In the spirit of all the resort and
cruise collections that are just hitting the racks, I wanted to get your thoughts on this Kelly Patent Leather Jacket ($1,495). Are you digging the luxe lambskin sheen or is the jacket a little too slick for your taste?

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

You're about to embark on your first date with that guy you've had your eye on. The nerves are getting to you, and they bring that eternally bothersome question with them: what to wear? He's taking you to a romantic speakeasy restaurant on a weeknight after work, and you want to bowl him over at first sight.

I started you off with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Variegated Herringbone Jacket, $398, because it's feminine and sexy! To see all the Fall first date Fab Finds, go here.

Look #1, created by leeluvfashion is so chic. I love how she paired the washed-out clothing palette with bright colored accessories - especially those to-die-for d'Orsay pumps.

Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:00:12 -0700

So, I'm thinking the Olsens must have been looking to the abominable snowman for inspiration on this one. The white shaggy goat fur on this Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket, $995, definitely screams more "Yeti" than anything else to me.

Also, there's the separate consideration that the jacket is made out of goat fur, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of anything getting my goat. What about you?

Dior Cropped Wool Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 08:36:46 -0800

If there's one thing I'll say about this particular piece, it's that it is undoubtedly Dior. But otherwise, the $5,600 Dior Cropped Wool Jacket, available here, leaves me pretty speechless. To me, it really straddles the realms of beautiful and ugly. For instance, I could do without the animalistic Mongolian wool trim, but I love the way the fur plays off of the delicate beaded flowers on the back of the coat. The big, floppy collar and scalloped seams are also particularly artful, but the overall effect leaves a lot to be desired. What do you guys think? Love it or hate it? Tell me your opinion below.

Trend Alert: Little Boxy Jackets

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Nothing goes unnoticed on Victoria Beckham. Not only did she sport some sharp trousers, and an incognito cloche hat at the Heathrow Airport, she threw on a little boxy jacket. A little boxy Chanel jacket. You have to love this woman's luxe travel wardrobe. Chanel tweed is ideal, but you can make an equal statement in fur - embellished, plaid, or striped. You know how to wear it: boxy on top, slim, on bottom. Sweet travels . . .

The Look For Less: DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

There's something intriguing about a black jacket that has a hint of shine, like this DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket ($504). It's totally classy and sassy at the same time - a modern Coco Chanel would wear it well. Since most modern Coco Chanels are budget conscious, I hunted down a less expensive version that is twice as nice.

This Forever 21 Jewel Trim Tweed Jacket ($35) has the class and the sass, but not the high price tag. The square-shaped jewels are a bit bigger than the DKNY version, but they provide the perfect sparkle. The cropped sleeves are also fresh. Since the silhouette is on the classier side, I would make it cooler with a pair of lightwash jeans.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Am I seeing correctly? This gorgeous Vintage Gray Suede Jacket, size small, is only $15? I'm so tempted to bid on it but I have way more jackets than I can keep up with. I can't stop staring at the soft suede and the slightly poufy shoulders. And yes, I used PicClick to find it!

The current bidding price is $14.99 and the auction ends on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ? Why it's the always-adorable Christina Ricci. She teamed hers with skinny jeans, cat-eye sunnies, and a luscious gray Chanel bag. Not too shabby. A look that works for both the city and the country - and the road trip in between.
