Online Sale Alert! TheOutnet's Ultimate Clearance

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:00:22 -0700

TheOutnet.com's discounted designer-wear just got a bit cheaper - 80-85 percent, actually. It's hosting a pop-up sale from now until March 23. One catch: you have to sign up (it's free) to gain access. What's in store? Pieces by Chloé, Stella McCartney, Vanessa Bruno, Marchesa, and more. This Marc by Marc Jacobs Cropped Herringbone Jacket ($45, originally $298) is a girlie alternative to the more hard-core green trend.

Trend Alert: Rad Ribbons

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:00:22 -0800

Madewell designer Alexa Chung took a break from NYC to check out Paris Fashion Week. At the Chanel show, she layered a furry tweed coat over a white blouse - check out those rad ribbons! They add just the right amount of flair to her palette, and take note of the Parisian-meets-bohemian reference. Such an easy way to achieve fashion greatness, no?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Open Mic Night

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:00:22 -0800

This week, I'm heading to the local bar for open mic night. No, I won't be the one on stage - the only singing I do is in the shower - but my friend will be showing off his sweet voice. If you've been to an open mic, you know it's all about looking artsy, comfy, and cool. I asked you to help me figure out a fresh 'fit - let's see what you came up with!

I started you off with this Mike & Chris Franco Cashmere Beret ($126); I adore the cozy cable knit texture.

Look #1, created by maria212134, is dark and understated. That studded bag is dope.

Trend Alert: Desert Boots

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:50:22 -0800

Sarah Jessica Parker's mid-Winter look is so inspiring. While running errands in NYC, the new president of Halston donned an on-trend cozy sweater coat with white jeans, and her favorite Diane de Maria Bonnie bag. However, it was her desert boots that caught my attention. This mens-inspired boot is tougher than its oxford sister and adds a simultaneously rugged yet slick component to any outfit. Try it with jeans in the Winter like SJP, and with flirty floral frocks in the Summer.

Shop Pet's Fall Outfit

PetSugar's Fall 'fit put me in the mood for one of my favorite pet-friendly activities: a cozy movie night in with Annabelle. And, you can't lose in a plaid shirtdress and buckled Loeffler Randall boots. Here are Pet's fine details:

Juicy Couture Shirred Sleeve Shirtdress ($198)
Apt. 9® Opaque Microfiber Control-Top Tights ($5, originally $10)
Loeffler Randall Marti Flat Buckle Boot ($895)
Marc by Marc Jacobs Daisy-Case Necklace ($175)
Fossil Enamel Watch ($105)

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:00:22 -0800

In the real world, Thanksgiving has already come and gone, but not for the Upper East Siders. As we watch them enjoy their turkey - with a side of drama - let's evaluate Blair Waldorf's holiday outerwear. While walking with her man, the posh Gossip Girl donned a Marc by Marc Jacobs military coat, gray-textured tights, pumps, and a red-pleated bag by Anya Hindmarch. Perfection before settling down to a delish holiday dinner.

Trend Alert: All That Glitters

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Whether you're 6 years old or 30, the holidays are the perfect time to revel in all that glitters. Given, I don't need an excuse to wear such shimmering objects, but maybe you do. Glitter is more understated compared to its shine sisters - sequins and paillettes - and so perfect right now. If I owned this Anya Hindmarch Glitter Clutch ($425), I would flaunt it morning, noon, and night . . .

Celeb Style: Lauren Conrad

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Lookie at Lauren walking the streets of LA minus The Hills' camera crews. It seems the former reality star is on Fab's wavelength - she's preparing for a Fabby Halloween in her black and orange ensemble. The dotted Ecote miniskirt is beyond adorable (and affordable!), and I love the way her tan belt and matching Marc by Marc Jacobs bag keep her from being too costumey.

Fall Glimpse: Haute Houndstooth

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I know what you're going to say: houndstooth isn't a trend, it's a classic. So true. But what happens when a classic is Preen-ified? You get this wicked little dress. Or when McQueen takes it for a dark spin? Houndstooth like you've never seen it before. We already had a reader rework this classic. Preen, McQueen, Sugar stylists - now it's your turn. My approach would be edgy, an effort to rock houndstooth's world even further.
