Fab Finding Follow Up: Ice Skate Away

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 12:00:08 -0800

Not only does San Francisco have an ice skating rink during the holidays, it has three. Lucky us. The one in Union Square is close to work, so my friends are meeting me there for some ice-skating fun. Unfortunately, it's going to be freezing, so I asked you to help me bundle up in style.

I started you off with these Urban Outfitters Leather Ruffle Gloves ($48) because they're precious and will keep my fingers from getting frostbite. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by MashiaraQCS, is layering at its best. Check out that cool wool sweater.

Look #2, created by plasticapple, is partly classic, all chic. I love the pom-pom hat!

Look #3, created by marimiau, will make me the funkiest skater on the ice. I like that.

So Very British, Driving Gloves

FabSugar — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 11:08:49 -0800

While driving in my Purple Haze Mini Cooper the other day I thought to myself: I would be cooler if I were sporting some driving gloves right now. I could be like Mod Squad blond vixen Emma Peel! Ok, it's official: I'm getting some. Originally, these accessories served a functional purpose, providing a better grip on the wheel for speed racers. Now they serve a functional and fashionable purpose, providing me with a better grip on looking cool while cruising town. As if it was possible, these would look even more fresh while complimenting a modern motorcycle jacket. As well, a light hued pair can carry over into Spring; Rodarte sent models down their runways wearing these cooler-than-thou gloves. Here are my picks.

Bloomingdales Napa Leather Driving Gloves with contrast cognac leather trim, in a rainbow of colors, $35, available here.

Portolano Fingerless Leopard Driving Gloves, $220, available here.

Juicy Couture Driving Gloves With Heart And Bow, $115, available here.

Kenneth Cole Stormy Leather Black Driving Gloves, $68, available here. These aren't of the traditional variety but they are too cute to pass with this long knit cuff detail - great for cruising in extra chilly weather.

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Zippered Gloves: Love It or Hate It?

Leather and zippers usually go together like peanut butter and jelly but there's something to be said about these >Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Zippered Gloves ($215). Is it just me or do they remind you of dish-washing gloves? This is a classic case of good intention, bad execution. What do you think?

Natalia Vodianova, Sequin Queen: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 07:00:08 -0800

You know me, I love sequins, no matter where they're placed. That's why the outfit Natalia Vodianova wore to Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's exhibition opening jumped out at me. Well, I mean, how can it not? It's sparkles like crazy. The look especially stands out next to Gisele Bundchen's all-black ensemble.

Look closer: Not only is Natalia wearing a sequined blazer, but she's also wearing a sequined bandeau top underneath it. Opera-length black leather gloves add further drama while her skinny jeans keep the look kick-back. I'm biased toward sequins, but I want to know your thoughts: Do you love this or hate it?

Fab Exclusive! Jenni Kayne Speaks Equestrian Chic For Fall

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:32:36 -0800

Jenni Kayne is a quite force at New York Fashion Week. Her sharp cuts, feminine silhouettes, and cool girl aesthetic are always on my radar. For Fall, the LA-based designer brought equestrian chic to her sportswear. Striped blankets, mud cloth, and aged leather were reworked for the city. Utility played a big role - jodhpur shorts and boxy coats rocked my world. The sleek suede platforms were also designed by Jenni, and leather gloves added the final sporty touch. I caught up with the designer, and she told me about her inspirations, challenges, the difference between East and West Coast style, and what she wears to keep warm. Listen up.

Let's talk Fall 2010 inspirations.

Equestrian culture was a major inspiration. Ochre, British racing green, and mud brown feel like Fall in the English countryside.

What was the biggest challenge with this collection?

Timing is always a challenge.

Proudest piece from this collection?

The Mud Cloth Anorak. I love the versatility of it and the weightless quality of the silk.

To read the rest, read more.

What kind of woman wears your clothes?

Modern women who value practical fashion.

What's the main difference between West Coast and East Coast style?

Style on the West Coast tends to be less buttoned up than on the East Coast.

What are your favorite clothes to help keep you warm?

My husband's socks and a Jenni Kayne fox fur vest.

What are your snow shoes?

Sorel Boots

Celeb Style: Selita Ebanks

Victoria's Secret stunner Selita Ebanks supported Ashley Greene by attending the December Maxim cover party in NYC last night. She dressed for the chilly weather but didn't sacrifice style. Her blush minidress and Elizabeth and James faux-fur cocoon shrug set a romantic tone, while her black leather gloves, sheer hose, and patent booties inject tough spunk. Cozy chic done right!
