A Fabby Halloween: Shakira's She Wolf

Hannah Weil — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:00:03 PDT

Wanna set your inner she wolf free? Halloween's the perfect time to channel Shakira's she-wolf-inspired vixen - that's what PartySugar's planning on. And, if you want to too, it's super-sultry and not hard to pull off. All you need is a cutout leotard ($42) and black leggings. For the advanced route, feel free to mismatch nude and black bodysuit pieces, then finish with gold jewels, funky heels, and a wolf mask ($12) or blond wig - how's that for a Fabby, hot Halloween? Shop the pieces above to get started, then get inspired with Shakira's video after the jump.

Celeb Style: Taylor Swift

Keep your fashion eyes peeled for Taylor Swift. As of late, the singer has been showing off some sweet red carpet looks and is now proving her street style is just as stylish. The cutie brought sunshine to NYC the other day wearing a pink floral Rebecca Taylor dress. We love the light pink hue and how the corset cut adds flirt factor. Sea green sandals and a gold bow necklace are perfect quirky accompaniments.

Cool Idea: Stacked Books Table Leg

CasaSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:00:29 PDT

I recently attended a charity event at the Ted Baker store here in San Francisco. Given that Ted Baker is a purveyor of quirky British design, I wasn't surprised to find that the store itself was chock full of inspiration and original interior design ideas. One of these was a neon-green table with one leg built from a stack of books. Genius! Not only does the table just look cool, but it offers a fresh way to repurpose dusty old books. To add another dimension of authenticity to the store, the books used were British in nature, such as Britain's Offshore Islands, Great Britain, and Old English Customs. The weight of the metal table on the books and the fact that it had a sliver of metal leg at the top kept the leg from wobbling, but this might not be the case if you used other materials or a different table design. I did a little research and found a DIY for making table legs out of books, which involves drilling a hole through the books to fit a rod through; it's cool too but not as successful visually. The orange table beside it, which I did not get a photo of, had one leg that only went three-fourths of the way and sat on a slightly deflated basketball, which had been filled with cement or sand or something equally weighty for stability. Bloody marvelous.

Trend Alert: Shoulder Love

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Take a cue from these shining stars and show some shoulder love. I prefer Anne's simple, angular frock, but feel free to make a bold statement a la Charlize in decadent Giambattisa Valli or get sweet like Sienna's Dior. The trick to shoulder love is making sure the top portion fits you to perfection - we don't want you looking like a burly football player. Keep the rest sleek and best to pull your hair back so the shoulders can steal the show.

Ted Baker Space Invader Briefs: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 05:50:09 PST

From a blue iPod nano case to now blue Space Invader Boxer/Briefs, Ted Baker sure does have a knack for creating geeky blue accessories! In a league of their own, these Space Invader trunks, which I came across on technabob, are the ultimate pair of undies for the geeky guy in your life. Just think, for only $35, your fella can have a full on Space Invaders attack in his pants. What do you think? Does the boxers + Space Invader theme + designer combo do it for you?

Trend Alert: Bib Fronts

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 08:00:22 PST

Though the name isn't very alluring, bib fronts are a sweet front detail for an array of tops and dresses. Named after one of the first articles of clothing we ever wore - a bib - I do not encourage you to make a mess all over these feminine pieces. To add some romance to a look, the bib front serves its purpose once again.

Trend Alert: The Bag Bazaar

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:00:22 PST

All this time I've been trying to focus on acquiring classic handbags for my collection. But after visiting the bag bazaar I am drawn to the colors, prints and funkiness of the newest crop of bags. I still think having an everyday Prada or a coveted Chanel is a Fab idea, but so is mixing it up with an interesting tote that causes your pupils to dilate upon first look. With all the fresh options for Spring, get lost at the bag bazaar.

Trend Alert: Square-Heel Pumps

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:00:22 PST

So they look like the footwear from Mia Farrow's wardrobe in Rosemary's Baby. There's no doubt square-heel pumps have a vintage feel, but I think they're pretty darn cute. Always professional, sex up this pump with a pencil skirt and ruffly blouse. But don't forget a fabulous vintage coat!

Ted Baker XO Women is Extraordinary!

BellaSugar — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:00:54 PDT

I'd love to think of the big "XO" on the hot pink Ted Baker new perfume bottle as hugs and kisses (what a great marketing idea that would be!) but it actually means extraordinary. This is a very upbeat, fun yet sensual scent.
XO's creator, Sophie Labbe, was inspired by decisive women who know what they want, yet love to have fun. This fragrance is made from orange blossom, gardenia, jasmine, tuberose, greens, heliotrope and musk.

The bottle is also extraordinary; in fact, it was nominated for this year's style award for best packaging at the Fragrance Foundation Awards. The wood, the polished glass and the satin finished metal cap contrast yet somehow blend beautifully together-kind of like all of the different aspects of a woman that make her unique.

XO For Women Eau de Parfum is $70 for a 75 milliliter bottle and can be purchased by calling any one of these stores in the US or Canada.

Ted Baker Goes Blue For iPod Nano Case

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:05:27 PDT

This is what I like to see. A blue distressed leather iPod nano case with a white interior and a Ted Baker plaque for that added touch of designer finesse. And the best part? All of this for only $30 from the online Apple store.

With this case you get easy access to your click wheel and controls and your screen stays protected with a thin, clear screen protector. You can also keep your nano in this case during syncing and charging so you don't have to take it out of the case. Fabulous!

Don't try squeezing your 30GB iPod into this sleek case as it only fits 1st and 2nd generation iPod nano's.
