Look of the Day: When Leather Met Satin

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:00:33 -0800

One day leather met satin. They came from two separate worlds, but had some serious chemistry. Leather toughened up satin, while satin softened up leather. Missfox brought out the best in each one and they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Richard Chai for Target
Jacket: Gap
Necklace: Rapt in Maille
Boots: Zara
Bag: Zara

Congrats to missfox!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Guess the Star by Her Fab Shoe!

I felt our last celebrity shoe quiz was a bit too basic, and so I kept my shoe-loving eye out for colorful, festive shoes. Oh, I found some. This group of shoe-loving ladies is a pretty diverse one, so keep that in mind when trying to match them up.

Question 1 of 5

Who's sparkling in these blue satin stunners?

The Look For Less: Valentino Satin Bow Clutch

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

The satin clutch continues to be the ideal evening bag. It lends instant sophistication and is light enough to tuck underneath your arm while balancing a yummy appetizer and glass of wine. This Valentino Satin Bow Clutch ($600) is magnificent, but the cost is too much to handle.

This Spiegel Sequined Bow Clutch ($39) has extra sparkle in the right places. The black option is a timeless choice and who can complain when you're saving over $500?

Trend Alert: Satin Handbags

Lay down your leather and give satin handbags a whirl. The silky sheen and jewel-toned palettes give off instant swank - day or night. Clutches are always a classic choice but I dare you to try a larger shape. Or maybe a bejeweled one like this Devi Kroell Satin Frame Clutch? Swoon.

According to WWD, Millennials, or Gen Yers (born 1983 through 1994), overwhelmingly prefer cotton.

The Look For Less: Marni Patent Runway Wedge

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Oh, Marni. Why do you have to go and make a collection of incredibly desirable footwear that's out of my reach? This Marni Patent Runway Wedge ($685) is something I can ideally splurge on, but is it really worth paying that much for something I can't possibly wear every day? I think not.

This Nine West Newtime Wedge ($89) is the perfect alternative to the Marni love above. There's no patent in sight, only satin, but they're equally gorgeous and attention-grabbing. I still probably wouldn't be able to wear them every day, but for that price, I wouldn't feel bad in the slightest.

March Shopping Madness: Splendid Satin

Satin has the ability to instantly fancy up an outfit. Join me in making Spring a bit more polished with splendid satin footwear. Flats, pumps, sandals are all super pretty, so c'mon beautiful.

Betsey Johnson Chelsea Pump: Love It or Hate It?

You know I love me some Betsey, but I'm not so sure I'm ready to taste the rainbow with these Betsey Johnson Chelsea Pumps ($180). Are they cute and colorful, or just not cute?

Christian Louboutin Anemone Stiletto Pumps: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 06:00:22 -0800

Everyone and their mom knows that Christian Louboutin makes sexy-as-hell footwear. His latest Anemone Stiletto Pumps ($925) are less sexy and more avant-garde because of the dramatic satin two-tone bow. I can see myself wearing these with a sophisticated LBD. Would you walk a mile in these pumps?
