A Fabby Halloween: Baby

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

What better way to pay tribute to the late Patrick Swayze than with an ode to his "Baby" in Dirty Dancing? The story of a rich and innocent teenage girl turned infatuated woman will always be engraved in my memory. My favorite scene was when Frances "Baby" Houseman told Swayze she carried a watermelon - hilarious. Replicate Baby's innocent '80s look in a white Summer dress and matching heels, or with high-waist denim shorts and a cropped white top. Oh yes, don't forget the tight curls and sexy dance moves!

Back to Cool: Saved by the Bell

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Hands down, Saved by the Bell was my favorite after-school show. High school couldn't look cooler with Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle, and Jessie Spano. Of course, hotties Zach Morris (remember the huge cellphone he used to carry in his pocket?) and beefcake A.C. Slater provided hunky eye candy. And Screech, who could forget Screech? Loved him. I was only in grade school when this show debuted, so I could only dream of wearing Kelly's crop tops and Lisa's tight denim shorts - Jessie had legs for days in those washed out skinny jeans. The girls also fancied jean jackets, high-waist pants, and floral prints. Sigh, what I would do for a Freaky Friday experience with Kelly Kapowski circa '91 . . .

Tracy Reese For Keds Blue Fringe Sneakers: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Nanette Lepore once designed for Keds and now it's Tracy Reese's turn. The queen of flirty frocks has created two items, one of them being this Tracy Reese for Keds Blue Fringe Sneaker ($60). The print isn't exactly the designer's signature; thoughts?

Fab Flash: Keds and Payless Are All About the Green

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, Keds and Payless are creating eco-friendly footwear collections - the Keds Green Label collection and the Payless Zoe and Zac line. The cool thing about these two collections is that they both focus on the fashion side first; the green element is an important bonus. “It’s visibly chic, effortlessly hip, and invisibly green,” said LuAnn Via, president of Payless ShoeSource.

The Keds Green Label, launching next month, will include a classic sneaker style and a boat shoe-inspired slip-on - both styles will retail for $55 at Nordstrom and select stores. Payless's Zoe and Zac line debuts near Earth Day and will comprise of wedges, sandals, sneakers, and ballet flats - all priced under $30. Both collections use organic cotton, recycled rubber, and nontoxic dyes. What a fun way to rock Spring's candy kicks trend!

Sergeantkero looks like she just crawled out of the pages of Teen Vogue - doesn't she? Everything from the bright colors to the model-like pose screams fun times. I love that she downplayed her funky skirt with a baggy tee and white Keds.

Here's what she has on:

Top: Topman
Skirt: Vintage
Shoes: Keds
Beanie (not pictured): Forever 21

Congrats to sergeantkero!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Simply Fab: Design Your Own Keds

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Keds are always cute. And I have to say the brand's model, Mischa Barton, is a good fit. It's been a while though, and technology recently made me purchase my first pair since third grade.

When I found out you can customize Keds on the brand's website, I just had to give shoe designing a stab. The technology can look scary, but it's quite easy. After playing around, I created some trés chic Keds from an Eiffel Tower photo I found on the Internet. For $70, I can afford to take a risk and see if it will translate as well in person. Stay tuned: I'll keep you posted when they arrive. Besides lace-ups, you can also choose from regular slip-ons and mini slip-ons. Imagine the creative possibilities - your favorite fashion editorials, magazine covers, celebrity muses, and artwork on a pair of Keds. Beyond Fab.

Back to Cool: 90210

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

The '90s are making a comeback in fashion and it's only going to spiral. Remember this gang? How can one forget, what with the revival and all. I only watched 90210 in the early years - I moved on to Melrose Place. But the early years . . . so good! Brenda was the best, her sharp tongue and moody getups were irresistible. Kelly was a hottie, too, the ultimate blond rich girl with her floral dresses and perfect bangs. And Donna was the sexiest, although always trying to play innocent, in her Herve-esque dresses and miniskirts. Light-wash denim, Doc Martins, demi-cup swimsuits, plaid and borrowed-from-Dylan-and-Brandon shirts and jackets made the mix, too. Do you think there's a chance the new 90210 can make such a splash?

Celebrity Style: Michelle Williams

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Is it just me or are the stylish mommies out and about? Check out Michelle Williams and her little one Matilda. The adorable duo were spotted taking a leisurely stroll on the streets of Brooklyn. Motherhood certainly hasn't affected Michelle's casually cool style. The actress is nonchalant in her black and white gingham shirt and dark denim shorts. Classic white kicks are the perfect choice for all that walking, and of course, her Ray-Ban Wayfarers top off the look. Simple, chic, and cute. On another note, that green drink looks yummy!
