2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Return of the One Piece

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:30:22 PDT

Perfect timing. After this Summer, I decided I need a new one piece. Though I am a skimpy bikini girl at heart, there are times when a one piece is in order. Be it a swanky pool party or chillin' poolside with the fam, the return of the one piece is upon us. Brian Reyes sent out delicate seersuckers, Derek Lam posh loungers, even sexy fashion beast Herve Leger turned down the volume with a printed baby-blue laser-cut suit. If anyone can prove one pieces can be equally as sexy as two, it's Michael Kors and his clear plastic cut-out noir creation. If only I could have that model's chiseled cheekbones, too . . .

If you're not an itsy-bitsy-bikini type of gal, turn on the pool boys with this Vintage Black Crochet Bathing Suit, size small. It's still super-steamy and will keep a worrisome tummy area in check. Like I said, one piece, all fabulous!

The current bidding price is at $9.99, and the auction ends on Wednesday, July 23. Good luck and happy bidding!

Life's a Beach: One Piece, All Fabulous

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Gone are the days when one-piece bathing suits are reserved for the shy and self-conscious. These days, girls of all shapes and styles are picking up one-pieces because they can be as, if not more, sexy than bikinis. Case in point: Naomi Campbell looks hot as hell in an exotic leopard-print one-piece. OK, she's speeding on a motorcycle but you get the gist. In this category, you'll find styles from retro to steamy, playful to girlie, and pinup. Like I said, one piece, all fabulous!

All You Need Is A One-Piece!

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 13:45:55 PDT

One-piece swimsuits are definitely having a comeback! This week's Life and Style takes inspiration from the sexy Eres swimsuit Penelope Cruz wore while vacationing on the beach. Their picks are all great, but I especially love the hourglass-shaped plum suit from Victoria's Secret - that one-piece shape always makes you look like you have the tiniest waist!

Noria Morales — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:10:34 PDT

We picked seven of our favorite one-piece suits, and styled them with minimal effort to show you how easy - and utterly chic - it is to turn your swimsuit into a fashionable bodysuit.

5 Things to Keep in a Plastic Folder When You're on a Trip

SavvySugar — Fri, 25 May 2012 11:43:48 PDT

I wouldn't dream of traveling without my trusty plastic folder! Be it for business or pleasure, I recycle the same one, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper that I've used since my college days. Mine's hot pink so it stands out in my travel tote amid magazines and other goodies and extra sturdy with a Velcro flap so things stay in better than pocketed, paper alternatives.

While there are some obvious things to go inside - such as flight checkins - I pack quite a few items, each with a very useful purpose:

Confirm everything - Bring a record of flight, hotel, and car rental in this folder. To save the environment, only print the official flight one (and do double-sided whenever possible) or simply create a word doc on one page with all addresses, phone numbers and confirmation codes where applicable.
Take the notes - While it's easy to rely a bit too heavily on smart phones (and the numbers and notes stored within), still jot down some personal details of things to do. If you want to be extra prepped, color code the printout pages for easy finding.

Learn how to organize the trip while you're on it to save time (and headaches!) afterwards and

Hold it together - Depending on the length of a journey, toss in a few paper clips and a business-sized envelope as well. Group all small receipts together for expensing and checking the budget later.
Get ready to write - If I had a dollar every time someone near me asked to borrow my pen (especially on international flights with forms that need to be filled out before landing), I'd have money to buy a new purse all together! Sure, many times there's a pen in your bag but save the digging and keep one instantly available inside the folder.
Keep the worries at bay - Extra passport photos and copies of important documents can also be stashed inside in case of emergency. If checking bags, you can write out an inventory of what's inside your suitcase - before you roll your eyes, this can help when planning how to pack lighter and picking out outfits once you're there.
Bring it back - Having this folder also makes it easier to bring back a postcard or other reminders of the trip like a menu from a new restaurant or a clipping from the local magazine.

See Angelina's Jewelry Collab With Robert Procop (aka the Man Behind Her Engagement Ring) Before It Hits the Road

Marisa Tom — Fri, 25 May 2012 08:40:52 PDT

The latest baubles from Angelina Jolie's Style of Jolie collection with jeweler Robert Procop (yes, the man behind her gorgeous engagement ring) are about to hit the road in two pop-up showcases in Monaco from July 15 to Aug. 15, before they launch at select boutiques in September. Since the collaboration debuted in late 2010, you could only get your hands on the baubles by private appointment. This time around, you'll find yourself face-to-face with one stunning emerald necklace, bold citrine tablet earrings, and maybe - if you time it right - even Jolie's engagement ring, which is expected to visit the showcase with Brad Pitt sometime this Summer. The bonus? These creations have a do-good twist. Like all of her Style of Jolie pieces to have debuted since the collaboration's launch, all proceeds from the line will benefit Angelina's charitable foundation, the Education Partnership For Children of Conflict. With decadent jewels on display, and for a great cause no less, we can only hope to see more from this very cool partnership.
