Fab Redux: Dotty

I love me some patent leather flats, and without meaning to, I have quite the personal collection. I won't say I've reached my quota - that'll never happen - and these cute vintage black flats ($19) are definitely tempting.

Thank goodness they're not my size, because the polka dot motif would look perfect with a bright-colored dress for Spring. If you're a size 8, they're calling your name . . .

Simply Fab: Sanita Black Patent Leather Clog

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

I love clogs. Whether they have traditional hand-painted flowers on them or are cosmopolitan slick, like these Sanita Black Patent Leather Clogs ($115), which are the closest thing I've found to a super comfortable and cute shoe.

I know what you're thinking: They look like hospital shoes. But I saw a girl wearing these last weekend and thought they looked very functional chic. The bit of height and tread on the bottom prevent exposure and slippage in murky, icy waters and the patent leather makes them acceptable in fashion circles. You ask what kind of stylish shoe one can wear in a blizzard? Look no further.

Pink patent and orange suede make this J.Crew Suede Panama bag ($98) the perfect resort bag . . . or maybe if you're feeling daring, an unexpected Winter tote? What do you think?

In the spirit of all the resort and
cruise collections that are just hitting the racks, I wanted to get your thoughts on this Kelly Patent Leather Jacket ($1,495). Are you digging the luxe lambskin sheen or is the jacket a little too slick for your taste?

Trend Alert: Juicy Red Patent Handbags

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:00:22 -0800

The differences between a juicy red patent handbag and a super slick black bag are three-fold.

Black is mysterious; red is in-your-face.
Black is sophisticated. Red patent bags can teeter between sophisticated and déclassé. I prefer darker hues; when the red is too bright it's too much.
Black is safe(er). A red patent bag is for the super confident woman. Are you ready for one?

Speaking of confidence. The red metallic Bottega below is beyond patent. I can't decide if it's sophisticated or déclassé. You tell me. Never, have I seen a bolder Bottega.

Fab Redux: City Slicker

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:00:22 -0800

With the holiday travel season kicking into high gear, a trusty tote is the perfect sidekick to have in tow. This canvas and patent number ($38) is decidedly chic and very on-trend with its gold stud detailing. I would be proud to use it as my carry-on . . . or my carry-all-around-town!

Trend Alert: Super Slick Black Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:00:22 -0800

If Catwoman carried a bag, it would be a super slick black bag. There's everything sexy about one of these. Sexy ... and dangerous. Sexy, dangerous, and ready to kick some ass. Sorry, got a little carried away. One can get caught up in the fantasy of one of these dark lovelies. If you consider yourself a Hero-type, rescue one of these from retail doom and never look back. Ever.
