March Shopping Madness! Candy Kicks

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:00:22 -0700

There's no better way to exude youth this Spring than with candy kicks. But shy away from chunky, boyish sneakers - instead, invest in lean low-tops in exuberant colors. Not only are they super comfortable to frolic in, they're also pure eye candy. Pick a pair in your favorite hue and wear it with a voluminous mini, playful tee and a lightweight cardi. Fun!

Ashley Olsen Sports Nikes: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Looking at the top half of Ashley Olsen's NYC outfit, it appears she may be attending an important business meeting. But the bottom half tells a whole different story. In her black leggings and Nike sneakers, Ashley could very well be going for a run. Frankly, I'm not surprised that Ashley decided to create her own version of sporty chic. Leave it to the always-experimental mogul to dabble with running sneakers. But does her attempt work? Does she pull it off or does she look silly?

Fab Gift Guide: Young Dude

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

How does it go? All the young dudes, carry the news? These adolescent manfolk are itching to be the coolest, so it's important to hook them up with something stylishly rad. This guy doesn't want to look like he tried, at all, so think casual and collected. I suggest looking for items with colors and prints; the West Coast brands (Quiksilver, Volcom, Etnies) are pretty solid. Check out this sweet Hurley Backpack ($40). Dude - carrying the news never looked so cool.

Fab Flash: Maria Sharapova Collaborates With Cole Haan

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:00:08 -0700

After sitting out the Olympic Games and the US Open due to an injury, Maria Sharapova has had time to think about her life, post-tennis.

"I have a passion for fashion and if I weren’t playing tennis, I’d probably be in school for it or for interior design," said the tennis star. Her latest collaboration with Cole Haan exemplifies her passion. On top of being the face of its new Cole Haan Sporting series, which is owned by Nike, the budding fashionista will also play a role in the design of the line’s second season for Fall 2009. Not bad.

The Cole Haan Sporting collection features stylish wedges, flats, and sandals while incorporating Nike comfort technology. Accessories include tennis bags, duffels, and clutches, which are all created from recycled materials. Prices range from $115 to $550.

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Sneakers are pissed at flats. They've taken over as our casual shoe pick of the day. Well, they're not going down without a fight! This season, sneakers have been made over with new color, patterns, and textures. Funky kicks are a fun, sporty alternative to wearing flats so why not give them another go-around? I dare you to be bold, not beige!
