I Love Your Shopstyle: Singin' in the Rain

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

The nonstop precipitation has me in a bit of a funk, but natural born styler brightened up my day. Her rainproof ensemble makes me want to start singin' in the rain. She refrained from featuring the per-usual rain jacket and galoshes, and, instead, chose a pair of patent boots, skinny trousers, Lichtenstein sweater, and fringe poncho complete with a clear, kitschy umbrella! Now that's what I call slick, wet-weather dressing.

Trend Alert: Swanky Umbrellas

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 07:00:08 -0800

I know it's hard to look good in the rain, but with a couple of key pieces, I guarantee you success. Take for example, Ginnifer Goodwin, seen left, at the He's Just Not That Into You premiere in Australia. The actress isn't going to let a couple of drops rain on her parade. Her swanky umbrella not only protects her citron Brian Reyes frock, it also makes a chic, functional accessory. I know you'd rather spend your money on clothes and shoes, but it's a necessary investment. After all, you don't want wet Manolos.

On Our Radar: Umbrella Collection by Rihanna (?)

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Now that it's raining more than ever...you can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh...

If you recognize those lyrics from Rihanna's latest hit, "Umbrella," then it'll make sense why the singer has come out with her own line of umbrellas for Totes. There's nothing fancy-schmancy about Rihanna's umbrellas, but they get the job done. (If you want fancy, check this umbrella out!)

One in particular, the Fashion Folding Auto Open Umbrella, $16, is perfect for girly-girls who love ruffles. It has even caught the latest fuchsia bug, as the ruffle comes in pink!

So go on, stand under Rihanna's umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh...

Come Fab Finding With Me: A New Umbrella

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:01:22 -0800

I thought the results from yesterday's poll about umbrellas was worthy of a Fab Finding mission. Spring weather is around the corner, and for some of us it is already here, and I think it is time to purchase a fun new umbrella. I love these rainbow colored petite Samsonite® Pocket Trimline Umbrellas, $18.95. They are small enough to fit in my handbag so I always have one on me in case of surprise stormy weather. From what you all said there are some favorites out there so please share them with us!

Let's all go Fab Finding for our favorite umbrellas. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with umbrella.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Rainy Saturday (boo)

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:45:47 -0800

I remember one month in New York City when the weekdays were sublimely sunny but every weekend rained on my parade. I had numerous brunch dates and shopping excursions planned and I had to plow through them in cute rainy day outfits. With winter upon us, it's best to prepare for such unfortunate timing. I also plan on doing a lot of holiday shopping in the next few weeks so I can't have any I-have-nothing-to-wear! situations. I did feature cute umbrellas not too long ago but here's my new fave by Burberry, a classic umbrella with a twist, available for $115 here.

So let's all go Fab Finding for pants, a comfy top, a raincoat, and water-friendly bag to compliment my fab umbrella. Be sure to come back and tell us that your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with the word "Rainy Saturday." To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.
