eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Am I seeing correctly? This gorgeous Vintage Gray Suede Jacket, size small, is only $15? I'm so tempted to bid on it but I have way more jackets than I can keep up with. I can't stop staring at the soft suede and the slightly poufy shoulders. And yes, I used PicClick to find it!

The current bidding price is $14.99 and the auction ends on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Good luck and happy bidding!

eBay Find of the Week

I snooped around my mom's closet recently and discovered a burnt orange suede skirt - I stole it. If your mama can't pass one down, consider this Vintage Burgundy Suede Mini Skirt, waist 25. Now is the perfect time for suede: just ask Victoria Beckham. I suggest wearing your suede skirt just like the model, bowler hat and all.

The current bidding price is at $9.99 and the auction ends on Sunday, Dec. 14. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: The Suede Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Spotted: Victoria and little Cruz showing off their holiday spirit in LA. While the wee one rocked a festive Santa hat - Lil can break his outfit down to you - Victoria kept it posh in a hunter green suede dress. Though hard to come by, these sumptuous frocks are well worth the search. Word to the wise: Vintage shops are a cheap alternative to paying exuberant retail prices. I found my vintage suede Yves Saint Laurent dress at a local consignment store for only $30 dollars - score!

Style Glossary: Suede

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:00:08 -0800

Suede

A type of leather with a napped finish. It is made from the under side of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède," which literally means "gloves of Sweden." Suede can also refer to a similar napped or brushed finish on many kinds of fabrics.

If you like the smooth feel of suede, try this Spiegel Suede Swing Top ($99, originally $129). It would look great over a pair of stovepipe jeans.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Simply Irresistible Suede

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Supple, soft, textural - I can't resist. Yes, simply irresistible suede is high maintenance - so it's best to wear it now, before rain drops - but it's worth it. In case of a downpour, make sure to weatherproof your puppies and wear rain boots to and from your destination. I mean, you wouldn't want to tarnish these Jimmy Choo Glint suede boots ($995), would you? Hell no.

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: The Funky Bootie

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

I've been collecting booties a couple seasons now, so I already have the quintessential black, and I even have the off-kilter gray. Bootie power is still going strong - it's time to mix things up. Many celebrities and fashion folks are looking to rock 'n' roll black leather and gold studs for their tough fix, but I'm digging a little deeper. Glam rock anyone? These Stuart Weitzman Platform Booties ($355) aren't your next door fashionista's bootie. The purple hue is right out of Velvet Goldmine, the brown wooden platform is boogie night ready, and the open toe plays peekaboo.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Consignment Shopping

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

The flailing economy is something everyone should consider before making a purchase. Unemployment is at a four-year high, so penny pinching is the smart thing to do. To curb my appetite for shopping without feeling guilty, I hit up loads of consignment stores. It beat paying staggering retail prices, and I saved the environment in my own Fab way. I asked you to help me put together a stylish shopping-conducive outfit.

I started you off with this Urban Outfitters Crosstown Suede Saddle Bag ($68) because I love the shape and convenient zipper top. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by jasmint, is fashionable with a geeky edge. Just the right look for a thrift spree.

Look #2, created by kendallina, appeals to me because of the plaid blouse. It's understated yet a standout. The yellow knit beanie is the cherry on top.
