Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ? Why it's the always-adorable Christina Ricci. She teamed hers with skinny jeans, cat-eye sunnies, and a luscious gray Chanel bag. Not too shabby. A look that works for both the city and the country - and the road trip in between.

Cynthia Rowley Surfs With Roxy

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:00:22 -0700

Suddenly, Cynthia Rowley seems that much cooler. An avid surfer, she is teaming up with Roxy for a collection named Cynthia Rowley for Roxy. The first collection will launch exclusively at Barneys New York and at Colette in Paris in March. But don't fret beach dwellers: it will also be available in Roxy stores and in Cynthia Rowley boutiques worldwide. The whole Rowley clan hits breaks: "My family and I surf a lot. Just about every weekend in the Summer, we go to Montauk, and in the winter we go to the Dominican Republic for long weekends. I love that we have this family activity that we all really enjoy.”

Partnering with an outside designer to create an apparel collection is a first for Roxy. But the masterminds behind the lifestyle brand know to keep up with the Jones, “Our mission at Roxy has always been to have one foot in the surf world and another foot in the fashion world,” said Randy Hild, executive vice president of marketing at Roxy. Down to the sandy details! Expect Rowley-inspired wetsuits, boards shorts, shorts, tees, dress, swimwear, and accessories. Neoprene headbands? Right on. And, keeping with the affordable Roxy price point, the collection will be priced from $18 wholesale for a printed scarf to $89 wholesale for a long-sleeve bodysuit. Shaka.

Simply Fab: Roxy Mysterious Scarf

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I recently shared 15 feline prints you need now, but there's one more I must add to the list: Roxy's Mysterious Scarf ($28). What's so cool about it, besides the wild print, is the fact that it doubles as a shrug and a circle scarf. Throw it on as a scarf over a cardigan for day, then wear it as a cover-up over a sexy LBD at night.

Back to Cool: A Different World

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

The plot description for A Different World is, "A group of students at a historically Black university struggle to make it through college." Woah, heavy. But the tagline is, "Big laughs on campus." That's more like it. Maybe I was too young to pick up on the struggles, I just remember a group of young'uns making college look like a cool place comprised of interesting characters and funky wardrobes. I mean Dwayne Wayne's flip-up glasses? I totally forgot Marisa Tomei was on the show - I was too mesmerized by Lisa Bonet's great looks. It might have had after-school-special lessons, but it had mad style. It's a different world, from where you come from!

Trend Alert: Summer Plaid

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I have a friend who is a self-proclaimed plaid addict. She does look darn cute in it. And so does Rihanna, in her oversized Vince shirt. Sure plaid works at the cozy cabin in Winter, but it equally works on the cruiser in Summer. The seasonless print will forever have that sexy lumberjack appeal, so bare some skin and throw on some glam accessories to optimize your Summer plaid.

Trend Alert: Tangerine, Tangerine

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

How does the Zeppelin song go? "Measuring a summer's day, I only finds it slips away to gray, the hours, they bring me pain . . . " OK, actually kinda depressing. Miranda Kerr is anything but in her tangerine, tangerine. Like my most wanted tangerine Topshop beanie, Miranda's tangy blouse is uplifting. Times are still tough, let's help keep heads up by donning a happy color. Even in small doses, via a belt or bag, tangerine oozes tranquility. Tangerine, tangerine.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Fourth of July Water-Skiing

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

How did you celebrate the Fourth of July? I spent the long weekend in Tahoe enjoying some sun, yummy BBQ, and water-skiing. It was a hot one, so I needed you to help me put together a cute outfit that would withstand the natural elements. I also didn't want to spend over $50 - were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with these Wet Seal Acid Wash Shorts ($13, originally $22) because they were dirt cheap and looked amazing against my glowing tan. Let's see my favorite looks!

Look #1, created by chloe bella, incorporates fun accessories. I adore the starfish necklace.

Trend Alert: Candy Colored Times

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Michelle Obama is a modern first lady with a keen fashion sense. But she's also a fun mom with candy colored times - and a "mouthwash" green Rick Owens jacket. Her Lavender Toy Watch ($195) proves she's lighthearted, and shall I say a bit sporty? Kinda makes me want to don a scrumptious colored watch when I'm riding waves and/or rollerskating. Fun for all!

Look Book Love: Swell Summer Swim

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:50:22 -0700

You already know Swell is my treasure trove for beachy duds. Allow me to take you on a tour of its Summer look book. Not sure what new bikini style to frolic in this Summer? All the trends are covered: neon, exotic, tie-dye, graphic prints, mismatching. I guess the only thing missing is one-pieces, but skimpy is the way of the surfer girl. Be sure to take a gander at Swell's dresses look book, too.
