Trend Alert: Studded Boots

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Check it: studded boots aren't just for the rough and tough biker babes. Today, any girl with a little bit of funk in her can sport these badass, embellished boots. Notice how Sienna Miller, English model Sarah Harding, and Megan Fox wore studded boots in very different ways. Sienna looked like a bohemian girl in a slouchy, suede pair by Vivienne Westwood; Sarah took the rocker route - with her utterly adorable Frenchie - in a hard-hitting strappy pair; while Megan stayed California cool and paired her slick, knee-high boots with jeans and a bright cardi.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Vanessa Abrams

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Thanksgiving on Gossip Girl means Autumnal tones of browns, reds, and oranges. Check out how Vanessa showed off her holiday cheer in an array of colors and prints. The Brooklynite's expert layering skills are something to note. Her bold orange Forever 21 pea coat is the perfect contrast against her Anna Sui print dress. To punch it up, Vanessa adorned herself in pretty turquoise bangles and Alexis Bittar hoops. Note how she chose darker colors for her LnA leggings, Minnetonka boots, and bag.

Trend Alert: Mid-Calf Boots

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Falling between booties and knee-high boots are mid-calf boots. This middle child used to get harped on for its in-between length and stodgy shape, but look out kids - there's a new boot in town!

The modern mid-calf boot is cut slightly wider around the top to provide much-needed leg room, not to mention making jean tucking a breeze. Take a look-see at Ugly Betty's Becki Newton. Zone in on her amazing Jeffrey Campbell boots; the laid-back style goes perfectly with her light brown dress. The grommet embellishment adds a nice touch to this simple ensemble. She's the perfect example of how a person of petite height - she's only five-foot-two - can pull this off. No fear.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Painting Party

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Painting walls is never fun when done alone, so last weekend I tricked my friends into helping me paint my dining room. I held a painting party filled with bubbly and brushes, and yes, it was messy.

I started you off with these Minnetonka Suede Moccasins ($38) because they kept my toes cushioned and happy as I painted the day away. I asked you to help me find a cute, paint-friendly outfit, so let's see what you came up with!

Look # 1, created by maria212134, is perfect for my painting theme. The overalls remind me of a painter's uniform - great choice!

Fab Finding Follow Up: Kite Runner

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last weekend's kite-flying date was filled with windy, outdoor fun. I definitely wasn't up to par with The Kite Runner, but I gave my best effort. Don't worry, I didn't make a complete fool out of myself.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Tie Dye Headband ($4) because it was hippie chic and kept the hair out of my face. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is casual chic. I'm loving the menswear-inspired shirt.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:30:33 -0700

I think it's safe to say today is Kate day! First she popped up in my Link Time, then there was the Kate Moss/Topshop update - I don't think you all mind a day of Kate do you? Here she is dinner hopping in her hometown looking sultry and shiny in a gunmetal ensemble. I'm guessing about half of it is in fact from her highly anticipated collection; it's always refreshing to see celeb designers in their own creations! There aren't that many broads who can pull off a long silky skirt with cool black moccasin boots, but I most certainly encourage it.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss knows to make it in the industry - you must stay on top of the game. She was spotted in London with an armful of fashion mags looking like a modern day Pocahontas. Genius for the supermodel to twin her knee-high Minnetonka moccasins with a pair of denim cutoffs. While she bares skin on her bottom half, a nubby sweater and signature fur jacket keeps her warm up top. Color me inspired.

Minnetonka Knee-High Lace Up Boots in Brown - $76.00	Juicy Couture Faux-Fur Hoodie Coat - $358.00

Winter Boots To Wear Instead of UGG(lie)s

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 06:32:55 -0800

I'm over them (for the record, I was never under them). Molly is over them. There are cuter and newer alternatives to the chunky, casual UGG - I swear it! Go ahead, be a trendsetter. Check these out, and please please please try to break the mold. For me? Also, these alternate UGGs are less expensive and, in my opinion, not as UGG(ly) as the played out boot.

Rubber Duck Snowjoggers in Olive, $80. These come in many more colors and are old school cool. And, did I mention Sienna Miller and Katherine Heigl sport these?
