Fab Finding Followup: Tea Time!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:50:22 -0700

I don't consider myself a girlie girl, but I do enjoy the occasional tea party. Last weekend, my friend graciously hosted one at her place and all I needed to do was arrive looking as fresh as the scones. The festivities took place outdoors in her beautiful garden, so I wanted to look polished but not stuffy. I asked you to think modern day, not Stepford wife.

I started you off with this Lauren Merkin Eve Leopard Clutch ($165) because I love the Springy leopard print. Let's see what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by Brielle, incorporates fun Spring hues - I adore the yellow dress and coral heels!

On Our Radar: Net-a-Porter Transitions Into Fall

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:00:22 -0700

The transitioning weather has left me nonplussed. For the past couple weeks, I've found myself standing in front of my closet longer then I would like - I don't know what to wear. It's not exactly freezing outside, but I can't pull off bare legs. So what's a girl to do?

Luckily, Net-A-Porter has put together an inspiring selection of transition-friendly items that will help us through this rough patch. Remember, it's all about working layers and finding an amazing pair of boots, much like these amazing Jimmy Choo Heather Patent boots. Check out some of my favorite pieces.

Diane von Furstenberg Philippine blouse - $285.00	Chloé Kerala shoulder bag - $1,455.00
Brian Atwood Cosmic Bis ankle boots - $985.00	Paul & Joe Sister Fabienne checked shirt - $170.00

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 07:00:08 -0700

These Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti Sequin Shorts ($1,035), might look a little funny at first glance, but give it a couple moments to sink in. I'd like to give this sparkly number a try with a plain white tunic and flat sandals. Are you feeling the glitzy glamour of these hot shorts?

On Our Radar: Women Choose Shoes Over Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Can it be? Have shoes replaced bags as the hottest fashion item? If so, I'm not complaining. I have a growing collection of bags, but as of late, I've become quite bored of the options out there. But the Spring shoe department, which houses such rarities as this MIu Miu Cutout Harlequin Bootie ($890), is a whole different story.

It seems the trend of naming bags after models and celebrities is now being used on footwear. Giambattista Valli has created a Victoria shoe in honor of Mrs. Beckham, while Calvin Klein made a Suri shoe, named after Tom Cruise's daughter. Also, unusual designs and materials used on bags is now being used on footwear. If that's not proof enough, department store Harvey Nichols has reported a 15 percent rise in shoe sales this season and a higher demand for runway heels. Adversely, a recent survey has forecast an 18 percent drop in handbag sales. It's also being predicted that women will soon spend more money on expensive shoes than bags. Do you buy it?

Style For Style: Shower Steam Your Clothes

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 16:00:33 -0700

It would be nice if every household had a garment steamer but the reality is that the majority don't. So then what is a girl to do when she has a fabulous cocktail party to attend and her Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Satin Strapless Dress, $995, is all wrinkled? Yes, an old fashioned iron might do the trick, but sometimes a fabric is too delicate for that. Plus, your lackluster ironing skills may burn a hole in your lovely dress. Oh no!

To see my easy solution to unwrinkle clothes, read more

Chances are you're going to shower before you head to your soiree, right? While you're getting clean, your wrinkly dress can get...well, unwrinkly. All you have to do is hang your darling frock somewhere in the bathroom while you shower. The idea is to let the steam from your shower permeate the dress, much like a garment steamer. There you have it; a garment steaming process without the bulky machine!
