Fab's September Most Wanted

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

You know Fab's in a Fall state of mind when my most wanted go from neon and skin-baring to jewel-toned and cozy. Though I will be holding off on wearing tights for as long as possible, I already have my sights set on some slouchy boots, amazing bags, festive jewelry, and sexy separates. Whether you're going back to cool or back to the grind, do so in fabulous style.

Celeb Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Rachel Bilson soaked in the warm SoCal air yesterday looking cunningly cool in denim shorts and a top. It may not look like anything special at first glance, but notice how the actress pumped up the style factor by pairing her shorts with a silky top as opposed to the per-usual tee. A brown belt and green Chanel bag injected additional refinement, while ivory Cynthia Vincent rope sandals honed Rachel's bohemian vibe.

The Look For Less: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Cree Fringe Flat Thong Sandal

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 01:00:22 -0700

If fringe had a season it would have to be Summer. I can't think of a better time for me to rock this trend with shorts, skirts, jeans, you name it. Take for instance this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Flat Fringe Sandal ($204). The short, sleek fringe is the ideal mix of hippie-chic and city glam but I'm not willing to pay that much for such a statement piece.

This Wanted Fringe Sandal ($39) is more up my alley. It's much cheaper and the style is dead-on. What more can you ask for?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Debutante Ball

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:00:22 -0700

It was a fashion emergency! One of our fellow Fab readers will be attending a decadent debutante ball this Summer and wanted us to help her find the perfect dress. She's required to wear a white, cream, or very pale pastel floor-length gown, so I suggested an ethereal look. It was up to you to make her shine!

I started you off with these Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal Teardrop Earrings ($90) because they emit ultimate elegance. Let's see what you found for her!

Look #1, created by EllaB, is simply gorgeous. That dress is amazing!

Trend Alert: All Things Canvas

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 08:00:22 -0800

We usually associate canvas with beach totes and summertime fun, but times have changed and so have all things canvas. This earth-friendly textile has been waxed, dyed, and embellished for our fashionable pleasure. You can take the natural route and opt for lighter colors, or dare to try it with a fabulous faux finish - some even look like leather! I dig the light, textural quality and breathable nature. Let loose, try canvas.

Trend Alert: Silky Ivory Camisoles

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0700

I know it's hard, but try to pry your eyes away from Bar's piercing blue eyes and focus on her ivory camisole. This romantic cut combined with an ivory hue is soft, sexy, and makes for a great evening look. Take inspiration from the Hurley spokesmodel and pair this delicate top with an edgy bottom. I like how Bar contrasted her ivory silk charmeuse tank with a black high-waisted leather skirt. Both by Hurley, both hot.

Trend Alert: The Single Sleeve

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:00:08 -0700

The life of the single gal can be lonely. But there are no tears here. Single gal, meet single sleeve. Dramatic, sexy, and ready to party. Just look to Jada (see left) for inspiration. But I'm confused. You loved Alexis Bledel's Mischen one sleeve LBD, but not Maria Sharapova's Lanvin. What gives? Single sleeves for everybody!

Trend Alert: Red Hot

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I've said it once and I'll say it again: There's nothing like a red hot dress. Sure to turn heads, the red dress is a purveyor of power, femininity, and sexuality. I tend to stow away my red dresses for the Winter months, but if it's hot outside, make the world swelter by throwing on a red frock. Confident and cool ladies Ali Larter and Mary-Louise Parker opted for red sheaths, while Rachel Weisz was in head-to-toe theatrics for a Vogue shoot. Is it hot in here, or is it me?

Trend Alert: Studly Bags

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Between Carrie Bradshaw's grossly popular belt in the Sex and the City Movie and Nicky Hilton's purple studded Valentino bag, it's safe to say studs are here to stay. Studly bags are a fine choice; the faceted detail has a way of being both tough and pretty. Pretty tough.

Dress Me Up: Roller Fab

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I have taken up a new hobby: roller skating! Not too long ago I asked your help in finding a sexy, cute rollerskating outfit for a roller disco party I went to. You did, and here is Roller Fab! With super sore thighs the next day, I went and bought some skates because I was so inspired (the ones I wore were actually YumSugar's!). My fresh skates are white with purple wheels and laces - Fab, no? Shopbop's Retro Fever section got the disco ball and thus the wheels turning for me again, and I couldn't refuse putting together an even more glam roller look.
