Fab Finding Follow Up: Ice Skate Away

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 12:00:08 PST

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.

So Very British, Driving Gloves

FabSugar — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 11:08:49 PST

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.

Fall 2011 Trend Breakdown: Getting the Gothic Glam Look

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:00:23 PDT

Dark, moody romanticism was explored on many a Fall runway - from the head-to-toe jet-black looks at Lanvin and Rick Owens, to the mercurial floaty chiffon pieces at Roberto Cavalli, we're feeling this slightly fatalistic trend. You can also glean some goth-glam inspiration from Katia Selinger in this spread for L'Officiel Brazil's September 2011 issue, swathed in sultry black chiffon, elbow-length leather gloves, and severe hair and makeup. It's quite clear that Fall's glamour girl is one of mystery, subtle seduction, and quiet confidence.

Here's how to get the look:

Focus on fabrics. Materials like velvet, lace, silk, leather, and chiffon play nicely to the moody, romantic Fall feel.
Layer up for ultimate luxe. Part of the allure of the gothic romance look is the effortless, devil-may-care attitude with which layers are worn. Pair a maxi skirt with an ultra long, slouchy knit sweater, followed by a blazer or fur vest.
Romanticism isn't about showing it all off; balance your look with a high neckline for the ultimate in gothic glamour.
