Trend Alert: Cozy Sweater Coats

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Living in SF, I'm about all about layering. That's where cozy sweater coats come in handy. The recent influx of Aztec, Nordic, and Navajo prints have me in a fashion tizzy - I think I need one of each. Solid neutral and jewel toned hues are also available for those who prefer more polish. Here's a Fab tip: wrap it up with a belt for a chic, cinched look. Wouldn't this Silence & Noise Intarsia Cardigan ($68) be a great gift for a dear BFF? Time to bundle up!

15 Cozy Chic Sweaters You Need Now!

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

I recently got an intense urge to fill my closet with a ton of cozy chic sweaters. You know what spurred it? Daria Werbowy's delicious hooded sweater in Vogue Nippon. A-mazing. The key to a great sweater is it not only looking good, but feeling good on your skin, too. That's why you shouldn't skimp in this category - an itchy sweater, no matter how inexpensive, is useless. But, that's not to say that you can't find a relatively affordable style that's cool and comfy. One of them is this popcorn-colored cableknit sweater Arlenis Sosa is wearing. Proceed to see some of my cozy-chic finds at all price points.

Designer Spotlight: Madeleine Thompson

There's nothing better than slipping into a cozy cashmere sweater right about now. Yes, it's a splurge, but also a classic. In fact, my favorite heather gray cashmere sweater is five years old - and still going strong. If you're on the prowl for a sumptuous knit to sink into, check out Madeleine Thompson's cashmere goodies. Her Spring '10 collection, modeled by Poppy Delevigne, is streamlined, impeccably tailored, and perfect for everyday wear. With a clientele including the likes of Kate Moss, Renee Zellweger, Agyness Deyn, and Sienna Miller, I'm sure you can admire it, too. Fun fact: the law school graduate also designs jewelry and knitwear. Awesome.

Look of the Day: Cable Knit Cutie

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

I'm smitten with gogosushi's cozy outfit. For maximum warmth, the cable knit cutie layered her tweed shorts and chic DIY Cavour print tee with tights and a nubby sweater. Notice how she's on to the over the knee boots trend. I love it all, however, the prize goes to her buttery soft vintage Yves Saint Laurent satchel bag - swoon.

Here's what she has on:

Cardigan: Sportsgirl
Tee: DIY
Tweed Shorts: Dotti
Boots: Midas
Satchel: Yves Saint Laurent
Rings: Sportsgirl and Etsy
Nail Polish: OPI Cancun Fiesta

Congrats to gogosushi!

The Look For Less: Free People Cable Pullover Sweater

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Nothing excites me more than Fall-worthy, cozy, oversize cable knit sweaters. But have you noticed there are way too many dorky styles out there? They make the task of finding the perfect one a drag. Luckily, I just stumbled upon this Free People Cable Pullover Sweater ($108). I'm tickled by the varying-sized braids and dolman sleeves. The price isn't ludicrous, but I found one that's equally cozy and less expensive. Let's take a lookie . . .

To see the look for less, read more.

This Ecote Crop Cable Dolman Sweater ($48) may not be made out of wool, but it's still cozy and cute. It also has different-sized braids and dolman sleeves, and the color is just right. Throw it on over a pair of skinny leather pants and cool boots to counteract the chunkiness.

Trend Alert: Moody Knits

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

I know you've heard about moody florals, but what about moody knits? These dark pieces are a far cry from the ones your auntie knits for you every holiday. Moody sweaters have an ominous tinge to them via slashes, open weaving, and gloomy patterns. Check out Kate Moss in London working this look in a furry black, gray, and red striped sweater from her collection for Topshop. So rad.

I Love Your Shopstyle: Bundled and Beautiful

Tanita Pe and I are ready for the crisp, Fall weather. Don't get me wrong - I love my Summers - but Autumn in SF is just as nice. Once the temperature drops a couple more degrees, I'm taking cue from Tanita Pe's warm and ravishing ensemble. It includes a dope pair of butterscotch zippered boots, roar-worthy animal-print skirt, and cashmere cable-knit sweater - bundled and beautiful. Can't you picture Carine Roitfeld sporting this fantastic getup?

Look Book Love: Zara, September '09

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Zara girl. As of late, I can't get enough of its sophisticated and fairly affordable options. In fact, the Spanish retailer just announced it will start selling its collection online in the UK and other European countries - lucky! Sigh, for now, let's lust after its September '09 look book. Everything we need for Fall was on display: cozy sweaters, tailored military coats, faux fur, lace, lush leopard prints, and a to-die-for collection of boots. Zara's eye for detail leaves me swooning for every piece - this sleek wool cape is at the top of my list. What's on yours?
