Life's A Beach: Towel Off

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Am I the only one who likes to lie on a stylish towel when taking in the sun's rays? Come on, tell me you didn't love the Missoni towel in my July Must Haves. Or, the simple route is nice too, per Reese and Jake in their matching striped Twinkie towels. Your towel doesn't have to be $175, but it does have to be refreshing and plush. Promise me, the next time you towel off you'll pay a little extra special attention to what's drying your tush.

Throw in two pairs of stylish flip-flops and some fancy sunscreen, and you've got yourself one heck of a thoughtful (but inexpensive) gift.

Low-Maintenance Must-Have: Microfiber Towel

Sometimes it's just too much trouble to subject yourself to a long hair-drying routine. But if you leave the house with dripping wet hair, it's hard to make sure it will look nice when it dries, and you might catch a cold to boot. The key is getting your hair as dry as possible with a towel so you can style it before you leave the house. That's why every fan of low-maintenance beauty should have a microfiber hair towel, like this Aquis Essentials Microfiber Hair Towel, available here for $16.99, in her arsenal. These thin, compact, and ultra-absorbent towels will dry your hair far more efficiently than terrycloth; simply scrunch your hair in between the towel for a few minutes, apply some leave-in conditioner or styling paste, and you're good to go. Plus, microfiber dries incredibly fast, so these towels are also great to bring with you to the gym or when you travel.

Fab Flash: Valentino Throws in the Designing Towel

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 09:24:06 -0700

This just in: Valentino is expected to confirm his resignation from the brand he founded in 1960. The news is not that shocking considering there was much speculation of his exit since Permira bought the Valentino Fashion Group, which owns Hugo Boss, M Missoni as well as a 45 percent stake in Proenza Schouler.

Alessandra Facchinetti, the former head of women's wear at Gucci, has been appointed creative director of Valentino's women's collections by Valentino Fashion Group. She will be responsible for the brand's couture and ready-to-wear collections, along with RED and Roma, secondary lines.

But Valentino isn't leaving without a finale: the designer will present one more ready-to-wear show as well as one more Haute Couture season.

This is a sad day for fashion but we wish Valentino all the luck in his future endeavors!

Matthew Williamson For H&M Summer Collection, Piece By Piece

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Here's what we're dealing with folks: swimwear (two one pieces, three bikinis, one trikini ), a towel, sunglasses, wallets, an overnight bag, a hot-pink stitched jacket, scarves, tunics, dresses, jeans, jean shorts. The only thing I think Matthew forgot when designing his Summer collection for H&M was shoes! But I can't take any more. If you thought his Spring collection was hot, brace yourself for heat exhaustion. Source

Style For Style: Showcase Your Bangles

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

If you're anything like me, your bangle collection is taking over your entire vanity. It's hard to find a decent home for bangles, especially if they're overly chunky, like these Ciro Collecizone Dimensional Bangles ($48 each). And since they're so pretty, I feel bad sticking them in drawers where no one will see them (and I will forget about them). I found a solution that will organize my bangles and showcase them to the world at the same time.

Don't freak out; you're looking at an Athena Wall-Mount Paper Towel Holder ($25) because this is how you're going to keep your bangles under control. The Container Store recommends mounting the paper towel holder on your wall and sliding as many bangles as possible where the paper towel would normally go. Genius, right? I think so!

On Our Radar: Marc Jacobs Graffitis Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Marc Jacobs was so smitten by his 2001 collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse that he has created a capsule collection in his honor.

“I totally channeled Stephen,” Jacobs said of the Louis Vuitton line, which includes t-shirts, dresses, sunglasses, bracelets, a towel, and a sweatband.

Sprouse passed away in 2004, but his streetwise aesthetic and Day-Glo graffiti were highly popular in the '80s. Another "very Sprouse" item includes a custom-made skateboard and skateboard case which is going to be up for auction.
