Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sunday Football

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, my friend threw a Sunday Football bash and I asked you to help me find a cute casual look for the festivities. Sure enough, I indulged in sinful cheesy dips and BBQ wings, but no regrets here. That's what exercising is for, right? I had so much fun, I even stopped by my parents' house and joined my dad in watching the evening game.

I started you off with these Falke Striggings Arm Warmers ($29) because they were sporty and cozy. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is all about sporty fun. Those vintage Chucks are dope, and I'll skip the cute cardigan since I have my trusty arm warmers.

Note the lack of men on the streets these past couple Sundays. Don't worry, it's not you: it's football season.

Tons of cuties will be present, so help me find a cute casual look. No heels, no fluff. All the guys will be glued to the screen, but there's always half-time, right?

Trend Alert: Leg Warmers

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:16:00 -0800

There is perhaps no Winter fashion more fleeting than leg warmers, but that's no reason not to buy a pair! Seriously, these retro cold-weather accessories may be silly, but they are also highly practical for this season's leggings and skinny jeans styles, so why not wear them while they're hot? Just try not to wear your leg warmers at the same time you're sporting a pair of arm warmers.

Alice + Olivia Leg Warmers, $117, available here.

Hearts Leg Warmer, $18, available here.

Rubbish Leg Warmers, $16, available in five colors here.

Alice and Olivia Leg Warmers: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:13:48 -0700

From wide belts to footless leggings, there's no arguing that 1980s styles are sneaking into the Fall 2006 fashion trends. But seriously, can we really herald the return of leg warmers? For years, fashion magazines have been warning that they might come back into style, and just yesterday, I spotted these Alice & Olivia Leg Warmers for sale here for $117. Though I'd never pay that much for leg warmers, there's just something about this silly fad that makes me want to dress my lower legs in these cozy tubes of warmth. What about you? Love it or hate it?

A Fabby Halloween: Flashdance Fever

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:02:22 -0700

Who can forget Jennifer Beals's sexy moves in '80s cult classic Flashdance - remember that water scene? Sizzle. She alone might have been responsible for the flurry of females dashing to get themselves an oversize sweatshirt and leggings - I know I sure did. Hone in her ultra-old-school vibe with the right accessories: red pointy-toe heels, a bodysuit, leg warmers, dangly earrings, and a permed '80s hairdo. What a feeling!

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Trend Alert: Arm Warmers

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 06:15:47 -0700

This Fall marks not only the return of leg warmers but also the debut of arm warmers. Yep, you heard me right, but before you laugh, give this trend a chance. These cozy, long, and often fingerless gloves are a great way to keep your arms and hands warm in this season's cropped-sleeved coats. Plus, the slouchy, sock-like styles give you lots of finger mobility. Sure, these are trendy, but they're also a cute and practical accessory to add to your winter look. Here are my picks for designer and non-designer versions.

Miu Miu Extra Long Gloves, $270, available here.

Juicy Couture Arm Warmers, $95, available here.

Mohair Fingerless Gloves, $30, available here.

On Our Radar: Vogue.com's Oracle 2008 Revealed

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 05:00:22 -0800

While most people are recapping 2007, Vogue.com is looking to the future. If you want to know what's cool for the upcoming year, look to Vogue.com's Oracle 2008. It runs the gamut from music to beauty to restaurants, but what we're interested in is the fashion, fashion, and more fashion. Here are some highlights . . .

The Models - Red-haired Georgia Stead, German beauty Toni Garn, Miuccia Prada favorite Lara Stone, and Suvi, named one of British Vogue's Head Girls, are expected to be the next crop of It models. Admire them in the magazines and on the runways.

The Legs - To stay au courant in the leg department in 2008, invest in tuxedo leggings and legging warmers (over-the-knee socks without the sock). To be extra fancy, Vogue.com suggests Air Stockings. I'm not so sure about that one.
The Store - Should you find yourself in London, don't forget to visit the new Matches store, 87 Marylebone High Street. It features well-known and low-key brands, as well as art from up-and-coming artists.
