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.

Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

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.

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.

Simply Fab: Rachel Roy's Transfourmer Coat

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Remember when I showed you 14 Fab ways to get more bang for your buck? Well, here's number 15: the Rachel Rachel Roy Transfourmer Coat ($189). Like the name, this warm wool jacket, which also comes in black, transforms not one, but four different ways: a regular long coat, a sleeveless coat, a cropped jacket, and a vest. Essentially, you get four Fab pieces for the price of one - how cool is that?

Fab Finger Discount: Free People Herringbone Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I own a similar version of this Free People Asymmetrical Herringbone Jacket ($50, originally $150), but it's a lot thinner and made out of silk. I wore it all Summer long, but with recent morning chills, it's not cutting it anymore. I think this thicker, herringbone version will be a good fill-in during Autumn months. I adore the feminine puff-shoulder detail. Wouldn't it look cute paired with a moody floral dress, dense tights, and booties?
