Look of the Day: Jumping For Jodhpurs

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Mkoesnadi is jumping for jodhpurs! Inspired by Balenciaga's epic Fall '07 collection, she pieced together a smashing, ethnic-inspired ensemble. Her jodhpurs aren't overly baggy and I like how the hot pink socks add a vibrant touch. A print scarf, vibrant bangles, and red bag complete her exotic 'fit.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Forever 21
Pants: Miss Sixty
Scarf: Topshop
Shoes: Kenneth Cole
Socks: Muee
Bag: Nine West
Bracelets: Vintage and Forever 21

Congrats to mkoesnadi!

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: Layered Halters

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:00:08 -0700

I love layering, but it gets a little tedious rummaging through my drawers for the "right" tank or tees. That why this new style, layered halters, is so clever. They take the work out of having to think about what to layer, and you'll never have to hunt through your dresser again. Even better, the styles available are more artsy and unique. Functional and phenomenal? I'll take it.

The Look For Less: Givenchy Black Cutout Platforms

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:50:22 -0700

I have a staring problem when it comes to Givenchy footwear. I swear, I can't stop gawking at each and every pair. There's something so vulgar about them. These Givenchy Black Cutout Platforms ($979) are one of my favorite pairs. Cutouts are nothing new, but the stitching around them makes them extra hot. Still, I'm going to have to resort to staring from afar because they're just too pricey.

See the look for less.

Look of the Day: Sweet Thang

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Ruffles are sweet. AlphaChickee is wearing ruffles. Therefore she's a sweet thang! You like my logic? But this Fab reader knows that too much sweet causes cavities, so she balanced her ruffles with a thick leather brown belt. Well done.

Here's what she has on:

Shoes: Miss Sixty

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Aspen Food & Wine Classic

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:50:22 -0700

YumSugar's heading to a three-day extravaganza at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this week and needed our fashion expertise. She'll be attending oodles of foodie soirees, so I asked you to come up with something beautiful and unique. She had two rules: nothing tight and nothing white - what happens if something spills? Smart. Dresses are nice, but I wanted you to feel free to play around with skirts and cute tops. The weatherman also predicted a chance of rain, so a cool jacket was required.

I started you off with this Calvin Klein Sarika Platform Pump ($98); the simple style gave you room to play with color and creativity. Let's see YumSugar's favorite outfits!

Look #1, created by Zivanod, is perfect for Yum. I adore the color combination and fun tights!

Layered Multi Charm Necklace	Noguchi Jacket
Les Prairies De Paris Le Koubs Tank	Moschino Tulle ruffle skirt

Look #2, created by Sarahab145, is an amazing pant option; love that top!

Celebrity Style: Isla Fisher

FabSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:05:22 -0700

Far from her over-the-top Confessions of a Shopaholic wardrobe, Isla Fisher looked laid-back while having lunch with Courteney Cox Arquette yesterday. On top she went feminine in a Kimchi floral ruffle tank and a purple cardigan with rolled-up sleeves. The ripped J Brand jeans lend rocker edge to her otherwise sweet look, while her Celine sunnies add flavor. Dressing the look up are a tan ostrich shoulder bag, two-tone sandals, and gold jewels.

Kimchi Blue Ruffle Strap Tank - $42.00	Merona Petites: 3/4 Sleeve Jersey Cardigan - Purple - $19.99
J Brand 12" Pencil Leg Jean - Dark Vintage - $180.00	Miss sixty Marika Heels - $229.00
Nuti New Yorker Ostrich Hobo - $3,400.00	Horse Icon Aviator - $18.00

Look Book Love: Miss Sixty Spring/Summer '09

FabSugar — Tue, 12 May 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Here's my one gripe with Miss Sixty - logo interference. Seriously, I pop into the store every once in a while, when I'm seeking a sexy party top or hot dress, but there's often a smattering of a logo in an obvious spot. I'm pretty anti-logo, so I had to vent. On the flip side, did you know they did a cost reanalysis and all their pieces are somewhat cheaper now? Look at the price tag and you'll see one price crossed out (the pre-recession price) and what they were able to squeeze the price to. Kinda cool. So if something in this hot-air-balloon-backdrop Spring look book strikes your fancy, expect it to be more reasonably priced. Shopping incentives here I come!

Trend Alert: Tailored and Cropped

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:00:22 -0800

Fabcon Zoe Kravitz is always in the fashion know, so it wasn't surprising to see her wearing a tailored and cropped tuxedo jacket from Alexander Wang's Fall collection. This shorter cut looks insanely cute against a long top - look at Zoe for inspiration - or when paired with a flirty frock. See, it's all about contrasting different lengths for a fun, new look. Are you down?
