Gucci is going super high-tech. You heard that Geek? It has just launched an interactively cool site, GucciEyeWeb.com, in conjunction with Gucci Eyeweb, a new line of sunglasses for 18 to 25 year olds. Instead of using professional models, like on its main site, Gucci's worldwide customers are the stars here. Users are asked to upload their photos, which are then shown over a 3-D image of the sunglasses, like below. Log in next month when Gucci swaps the current sunglasses - purchase them now for $220 - for ski goggles, just in time for the Winter slopes.

Trend Alert: Mirrored Lenses

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Drew is a kid at heart. That is why we love her so. She sported some cutesy pink mirrored lenses in NYC and, while her outfit was super casual, they reminded us of her perky personality. I suspect hers might even be the Oakley for Paul Smith limited editions. Plus, Proenza Schouler sent mirrored shades down their Spring runway. I have a super fun vintage pair - they were my mom's ski shades in the '80s - that are turquoise with silver mirrors. People seem to love them, maybe it's because they can admire themselves in the reflection while attempting to pay attention to me . . .

Come Fab Finding With Me: Fleet Week Fun

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

This weekend, I'll be indulging in some patriotic fun at the SF Fleet Week festivities. A bunch of cool ships and exhibitions will be on display, and of course, the Navy Blue Angels will perform their usual crazy antics. The weatherman predicts sunny skies, but I have a feeling it's going to be a little nippy. Can you help me put together an outfit to protect against the wind?

I'll start you off with these Ray-Ban Aviator Sunnies ($139); they're the perfect ode to the armed forces.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Fleet Week. Now, you can build outfits by creating your very own widget of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too.

Celeb Style: Stella McCartney

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:00:22 -0700

It's official, Stella McCartney rocks my world. And, having met her, I know she's a charming person. Dude - if I could design a dreamy zebra-print sweater like that, I would be rocking it, too. Her outfit is perfect for a foggy London day. Skinny gray jeans, warm lined boots - probably the short version of her Eskimo boot - funky sunnies, and her favorite chain tote keep her cozy yet cute. Keep doing what you do, Stella.

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:00:08 -0700

This picture of raccoon_hime couldn't be more pretty. Check her out enjoying the Summer sun rays dressed in a purple floral frock and cute heart-shaped sunnies. I'm digging the vintage-inspired vibe - doesn't it remind you of something Urban Outfitters would feature in their awesome Fall look book?

Here's what she has on:

Sunnies: Claire's
Dress: H&M
Belt: Pimkie
Sandals: Bershka

Congrats to raccoon_hime!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Found! Carrie Bradshaw's Gold Aviators

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:00:08 -0700

Sex and the City 2 hasn't even come out yet and I'm already going gaga over Carrie's wardrobe. I loved her Egyptian-inspired necklace, but her gold aviators are also pretty sick.

In case you're wondering, they're Mykita & Bernard Willhelm's Franz Limited-Edition Aviator Sheet-Metal Sunglasses ($525), and they're currently on pre-sale at Patricia Field. The style was named for Franz Klammer, an Olympic gold medal downhill skiier who was known for his reflective eyewear on the slopes. The price is steep, yes, but it's worth it to channel Carrie B.

Stella Designs Funky Chic Sunnies For Spring '10

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

When it comes to sunglasses, for Stella McCartney it's "important to make lightweight, comfortable sunglasses that are not a chore or cumbersome to wear." Amen. The designer has teamed up with Milan-based eyewear manufacturer Luxottica to create a new collection for Spring 2010. This isn't Stella's first foray into eyewear - she first designed them during her stint at Chloé in '97 - but it's arguably her finest. Her goal is to fuse timeless pieces with "edgier, younger, eye-catching styles" and that she has done. Ranging from $180 to $250, these funky chic sunnies are sure to sell out . . . and fast.

Look of the Day: Fake It 'Til You Make It

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I always say, fake it 'til you make it. See, MyOwnLittleWorld knows what I mean. Her Chanel-inspired ensemble consisting of black jeans, tee, and a tweed jacket looks decadently divine. There's no way I would of guessed her blazer cost 5 euros – what a steal! With skills like that, she doesn't need millions.

Here's what she has on:

Jeans: Massimo Dutti
Booties: Zara
T-shirt: Sting
Tweed Jacket: H&M
Sunglasses: WE
Necklace: TiSento Milano
Bracelet: TiSento Milano
Watch: Ozoo

Congrats to MyOwnLittleWorld!

Fab Ad: Tom Ford Eyewear Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last Fall, Tom Ford showed his shades via a dolled-up Liliana Dominguez and fried chicken. This Fall, Ford brought it back to the basics. Nude basics. Tom did the shooting this time and brought in nakie exotic blond Anna Maria Jagodzinska and favorite male model Jon Kortajarena. “I have taken pictures for years, but recently have become more serious about it and have started shooting portraits,” said Ford. Tom has also been busy wrapping up his film A Single Man, debuting at the Venice Film Festival Sept. 11. But back to the basics - can you focus on the stylish optics or are the svelte bodies too distracting? (NSFW)

There are many reasons why I adore Christina Ricci's casual Cali ensemble, but it's her tortoise Tom Ford oversize cat eyes that immediately caught my attention.
