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.

Leather Gloves Online Lambskin Driving Gloves, $58.95, available here.

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?

Come Fab Finding With Me: Glove Me

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

I'm in desperate need of a new pair of cozy gloves (or two!). I don't live in snow, but my hands still manage to freeze every morning. I'm not too picky about style - I'd rather see where your imagination takes you. But I will say, there's nothing more sexy than a buttery leather glove that smothers the hands. Oh, and I don't want anything super sporty or ridiculously expensive.

I'll start you off with this Vogue Russia editorial with Masha Novoselova; use it as inspiration.

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?

Girls on Film: Ali Stephens, French Revue de Modes

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

In this Halloween-inspired edition of French Revue de Modes, Ali Stephens shows off her fashionable crime-fighting abilities in a black and white editorial shot by Thierry Le Goues. With a hunky Batman by her side, Ali tackled the streets in an array of leopard print bodysuits, checkered frocks, avant-garde coats, and ornate LBDs. Of course, every sexy superhero needs thigh-high leather boots, statement belts, and slick leather gloves to complete the look. Oh, did you notice how Ali's big wavy hair and thick eyeliner is reminiscent of Lynda Carter in Wonder Woman? So rad. If only I could look this good on Halloween . . . Source

Dita Von Teese in Christian Dior Leather Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:37:22 -0700

Oh, the things I would do to be invited to a Christian Dior runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Luckily, Dita Von Teese doesn't have to worry about such minor details. The Wonderbra ambassador attended the show looking like a vintage-meets-badass babe in a decadent low-cut Christian Dior black leather dress complete with black leather gloves. While most leather frocks are short and skimpy, Dita kept her ensemble proper with a longer hemline and regal accessories. I'm in lust with her structured leopard print bag and Christian Louboutin patent t-strap pumps. What are your thoughts?

Girls On Film: Natasha Poly, Muse

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:49:10 -0700

In this episode of Girls on Film, we spy Natasha Poly striking a series of kickass, Matrix-like poses in Muse magazine. The Fab Face, decked out in sensual LBDs, printed frocks, leather gloves, and red lips, alludes such smashing appeal. From her broken-down stances to her pouty lips, there's no denying her modeling marvel. This photoshoot makes me wonder if she's playing the role of a runaway mistress, or maybe she's a spy in the middle of an espionage act - exciting! My imagination can go on for days, come to your own conclusions about this cryptic piece.
