Fab Finding Followup: Fab's Technicolor Luau

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Every year, I host a a big Summer luau, but it's not your run-of-the-mill soiree with coconuts and grass skirts. I take it to the next level with a new theme each year complete with awesome outfits, delicious food, and tasty drinks. This year's theme was all about tenacious technicolor, so I needed you to help me put together a colorful, bodacious outfit. Thanks to you, I was the hostess with the mostest.

I started you off with these Full Tilt Bright Jelly Bracelets ($3) because they remind me of my old ravin' days. . . . Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is funky and colorful. Cool color-blocking skills!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: No Doubt!

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:50:22 PDT

A couple weeks ago, I saw No Doubt. It was awesome seeing the whole crew back together singing all of their hits – "Sunday Morning" was my fave performance. Side note: Gwen's abs inspired me to hit the gym! Besides the music, I enjoyed seeing everyone's concert gear. Looks ranged from cutoff shorts to touches of punk. Me? I wore this fun Topshop vest with short booties and a faded jean jacket. Since I already had my 'fit down, I asked you to show me what you would wear to No Doubt.

I started you off with this Alexander McQueen Silk Houndstooth Scarf ($575); I'm smitten with the contradiction between the print and the fabric. Let's see my top three picks!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is so eclectic and cool. No doubt, Gwen would appreciate this outfit.

Fab Gift Guide: The Bomb Boyfriend

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:00:22 PST

If your man is the bomb boyfriend, meaning he's been there for you through bad haircuts, crazy outbursts, and even fixes your car (aw); then it's time to up the ante. This Valentine's Day, forgo the red silk boxers and get creative. It's not rocket science, boys are pretty easy to shop for. Get him a gift he actually needs or splurge on something he would never buy for himself. My friend's BF loves to surf; he would flip over these Oakley Hijinx Sport Wrap Sunglasses ($100) modeled by Adam from The City.

Nixon Nomadic Headphones Now Available at Barneys

GeekSugar — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 10:01:16 PST

When I first showed you these Nixon Nomadic Headphones a few months ago, they were almost universally loved. If you were one of the many who were into them then I have good news; they're now available at Barneys! And even better, they've got a whole lineup in different colors.

Ranging in price from $100 to $200, you can get the over-the-ear phones in black (which include a mic, so you could use them to talk on your iPhone), white, gunmetal grey (my fave), or brown.

Like I needed another reason to be on the Barneys website.

Fab Gift Guide: The Eclectic

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:00:22 PST

If you combined a hippie bro with a metro man, you'd get the eclectic. This one is all about personal style. Never one to succumb to overly trendy attire, this mysteriously unique male shines in his originality. The eclectic dude I know pairs his Levi's with an avant garde sweater, oxfords, chunky knit scarf, and a beanie. Nice. When shopping for such a distinctive soul, choose items with cool quirk like these Urban Outfitters Hawkings McGill Tweed Pants ($40, originally $64). Studiously slick.

It's your first day of work at a spankin' new job and you want to impress everyone with your fashionable ways. What should you wear? You don't want to look like you tried too hard, but you also don't want to come off looking like a slop.

We've all been in this situation, so I asked you: What would the perfect first day of work ensemble be? After all, first impressions leave a lasting memory.

I started you off with this Nixon Ivy Watch ($270). It's cool, you can set it to three jet-setting time zones, and the macho shape is sleek.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Get in Gear: Boarding for Breast Cancer Watch

FitSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 03:00:00 PDT

If you're a snowboarder, then you're probably getting excited that boarding season is quickly approaching. This means that not only are you going to need to start training in the gym, you're also going to want to check out all the cool new gear available this year.

One of my favorite board sport watch companies, Nixon, is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month with this Boarding for Breast Cancer Vega Watch ($59.95). This oversized bracelet watch features polycarbonate stretch links and a stainless steel case and square face. It's pink, so you can still show off your girly side as you thrash down the mountain. Two dollars from every pink Vega watch sold goes to Boarding for Breast Cancer!
