I Love Your ShopStyle: Verdant

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:00:22 -0800

CherryLady is clearly feeling verdant. Her nature-inspired ensemble is as fresh as the trees. My eye instantly gravitates toward that colorblock dress; the combination of green, black, and blue is heavenly. Her chosen accessories - the beaded necklace, yellow earrings, blue bag - all help the outfit come to life.

Trend Alert: Happy Swing Coats

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:00:22 -0800

It seems sunshine follows Cali girl Lauren Conrad wherever she goes. Case in point: in NYC, in her happy swing coat. Yellow, an unexpected yet friendly color, always brightens drab Winter days. I have a happy red Miu Miu coat I rarely wear, not because I don't love it, but simply because it rarely gets cold enough in San Francisco for it. Nonetheless, it makes a statement and is utterly ladylike. Just like LC. P.S. Nice stems.

Trend Alert: Pyramid Pleasures

Stella McCartney has been nonstop with the amazing ensembles. The other day, she donned an artsy jacket alongside Kate Moss, and today, she's all about pyramid pleasures. I love how the designer smartly contrasted her all-black 'fit with a high-voltage pyramid embellished clutch. The dimensional baubles add the right amount of texture to her slick accompaniments - amaze. If her decor is too daring for your taste, try out these spiky studs in smaller form.

Fab's January Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:00:08 -0800

I'll admit it, by the time January rolls around, I'm pretty shopped out. Plus, all those holiday presents keep me fulfilled for a while. But that doesn't mean I can't have crushes. In fact, I have eight, one of them being this Ranjana Khan Lapis Bead Bib Necklace ($1,090). Isn't it breathtaking? I know the holidays are behind us, but I'd like to continue decking out my neck. My other lusts include Moto leggings, a spear ring, snazzy gray suede shoes, and a bright coat.

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

Congrats to AlphaChickee!
