These Boots Are Made For Walking: Two Toned

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Take a close look. Do you notice the subtle juxtaposition between the smooth leather and suede of these Oscar de la Renta Leather Boots ($1,195)? This expert two-toned technique adds an exciting and elusive touch to boots. I like how the suede inset breaks up the smooth leather in a harmonious, hip fashion. Be daring and opt for a pair with patent detailing or better yet, contrast your neutral tone with a pop of color.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Simply Irresistible Suede

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.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Buckle Up

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

No matter where you're going, buckle up and enjoy the walk. Buckles have sprouted all over the place on boots: on the front, in the center, on the sides. And they're not all created equal. You'll even notice some experimental boots with stacked buckles. Fab!

This Juicy Couture Jett Buckle Bootie ($448) is among the more posh styles on the market. The polished buckle makes this otherwise-plain boot more glamorous. Whether you're rugged, prim, modern, or old-fashioned, there's a buckle for you.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

There's no denying the power of boots. They're funky, functional, and boast a plentiful harvest.

Let me draw your attention to the subject at hand: these Kristen Lee Montague Boots ($346) go over the knee in an oh so slick manner. The supple suede exudes decadence while the wide, low heel makes for a functional staple. These thigh-grazing boots are made for the strong so stomp loud, stomp proud. Tip: stray away from the tacky and stick to dark, muted colors for a modern appeal.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Gorgeous Gray

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Obsessed. I've always been into all things gray; it's my neutral. Black sometimes feels too harsh, white is too delicate, and beige is . . . beige is so blah. But gray has the ability to compliment everything and comes off as cool and collected. It makes colors pop and tempers icy neutrals. In suede, it's plush, in leather, it's modern. Gorgeous gray is a win-win. Make a subtle statement in these Steve Madden Persue Grey Suede boots ($290).

FABTV: Nancy Sinatra "These Boots Are Made For Walking"

FabSugar — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:00:22 -0700

Here's a sassy blast from the past. It's safe to say we're back in boot season and let's celebrate! I have had a boot obsession for a long time now, and I swear it's Nancy Sinatra's fault. This sultry yet cheeky song is a classic but have you ever seen the music video? It doesn't have any dope special effects - these were the prehistoric years of music video - but that's what makes it Fab. Yes, the dance moves are a big stiff, but you gotta love the simplicity of the dancers rainbow-colored oversize v-neck sweaters worn with black short shorts, hose, and, of course, boots! And get a load of Nancy in her black sequin LBD, a look that is currently in vogue. I know it's the best part of the song, but you have to watch the whole video until the breakdown. Trust me - it's worth the wait for go go dancing mania.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the FABTV.

Now, These Boots Are Made For Walking

FabSugar — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 11:22:22 -0700

Ok, ok, it is Fall. It's getting light earlier and the mornings are crisp. I have surrendered. The upside of Summer being over is rediscovering your old cozy clothes and, of course, buying new ones - lots more on that to come. For now, it's a good time to look your closet head on and ask yourself: "Do I have some boots made for walking?" And talking, and so much more. Dancing? Flirting? Strutting? Boots can be very powerful indeed. We've already been seeing celebs bring them back, as pointed out in this week's Life & Style ,and it's time to decide if you're gonna need some new killer boots or dust off your old faves. Here are some choices to get you walking...

Gwyneth Paltrow in Sheer Lace Antonio Berardi: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Gwyneth Paltrow confidently walked the Parisian red carpet at the premiere of her movie Two Lovers. Admit it: She took a risk wearing this Antonio Berardi sheer lace dress from his Spring '09 collection. Clearly we can see her panties and bra, but since that's the point of the frock, she doesn't seem to mind.

Her black and white booties match her dress so perfectly, you would think they were made by the same designer. Negatory, they're Rupert Sanderson's Kit Kat shoe boots ($1,100). A diamond necklace and earrings lend shine and sophistication to the look. What do you think? Did Gwyneth shut it down or did she reveal too much?
