FabSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:00:08 -0700

There are some funkier-than-funky jeans out there right now. What started with a few holes has now taken off into all-out shreds, colorful paint splatters, psychedelic tie-dye, see-through mesh, lace-insets, and so on. One of my favorite denim brands, Siwy, takes the prize for designing some of the most daring denim - these Sheer Mesh Skinny Jeans ($242) are '80s sexy but only fit for bold fashionistas. There are way more crazy funky jeans out there, so click through to gawk.

Trend Alert: Glam Rockin' Sequins

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:50:11 -0700

Sequins used to come with a cheesy, Vegas connotation, but not anymore. This time, the popular embellishment has been revived to exude a darker, dank feel. Malin Akerman knows what I mean. Her glam rockin' sequins, via an Elise Overland frock, are the epitome of cool. Here's a tip: make sure to accessorize with funky footwear and jewels to downplay the shimmer. Other than that, rock on sister, rock on.

Trend Alert: Studded Shorts

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:50:22 -0700

We all own a pair of denim cutoffs, but what about studded shorts? Like studly vests, they add a unique rocker-girl vibe to your overall look and are a quick and simple DIY. Personally, I refuse to pay top dollar for such a fleeting yet cute trend. That's why I headed to my local fabric shop for a pack of studs and a glue gun. $6 and 20 minutes later, presto chango - studded shorts!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Wave Riding in Costa Rica

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Did you know Fab surfs? I'm by no means pro, but I've been practicing my heart out. To further my wave riding abilities, I'm heading to a surfin' vacay in Costa Rica! I already have my bikinis, so I needed you help me put together an outfit for post-surf activities. I asked you to think casual glamour - flat sandals are a must.

I started you off with this Insight Galactic Forest Triangle Top ($35) because I can't resist the adorable manimals. Let's see the top three ensembles!

Look #1, created by bvfashion, is right up my alley - I love the studded tote!

Siwy Hannah Crop Slim Jeans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:00:22 -0800

I've been swooning over Balmain's decadently destroyed jeans for a while now and literally jumped out my chair when I saw these Siwy Hannah Crop Slim Jeans ($196). The rebel in me is enchanted by the perfectly placed rips but something's telling me no. Are these too trendy or should I buy them now? Help me decide!

Celebrity Style: Jessica Simpson

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Jessica knows to keep the ones you love close. Last night in LA, the celebrity designer was on a dinner date with her coveted hair guru, Ken Paves. Her hair looks great but what really caught my eye was her bright and Summery outfit. I dig how she paired her flowy Tucker blouse with her trademark daisy dukes. The studded red Gucci bag is a little much for my taste but it works for this cowgirl.

Tucker Paris Metro Ride Blouse With Tie - $285.00	Siwy Holly Denim Cut Offs with Black Heart Patches in Wonder wash - $168.00
Theory Mariella - $295.00	Juicy Couture Flap-Lock Baby Fluffy Bag - $295.00

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Nicole was out and about this weekend in a laid-back but, of course, stylish outfit. It's always all about the accessories with this girl, and this is no exception. She added a harder edge to her taupe Mason ruched tank and favorite skinny jeans with some rather fierce Givenchy peep toe heels and her trusty Balenciaga bag. This is a look the average Betty can easily put together herself, minus the big designer names - you know what I mean. We all have a pair of fierce heels in our closets and with Nicole as inspiration for how to wear them during the day, I just might break mine out.

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:04:44 -0800

I must admit: I am not the biggest Posh fan; usually too done up and dressed over the top. Also, always wearing her sunglasses, hiding, if you will. That said, I love this grey ensemble with just a hint of color. Dressing down does wonders for you Ms. Beckham. Have any of you noticed the no purse trend lately?
