Wonderful Winter Boots

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 08:22:00 -0700

As the rainy, chilly winter days creep closer, it's time to start shopping the all-weather shoes that will get you through the winter. Though no one seemed to care for the Marc Jacobs Patent Rain Boot I posted yesterday, fortunately, there are a ton of great styles out right now that meet all of the required criteria: warm, waterproof, easy to walk in, and-most important-fashionable. Here are some of my favorite finds at both designer and non-designer prices.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Pearl Rubber Boot, $186.95, available here.

Coach Kimberly Boot, $238, available here.

Tecnica Karin Boot, $249, available here.

Juicy Couture Quilted Wedge Snow Boots, $175, available here.

Which Super Has the Sassiest Wink?

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Over-the-knee boots are the sexiest boot to dominate in a while. This is what happens when you put three Supers in them, and only them. On the Winter '09 cover of i-D Magazine, the three show us their winking prowess. Makes you want to practice yours, huh? If I were to adopt a winking style based on this, I think I'd go the Claudia route - pure, unabashed flirtation. Eva's is more a bedroom eyes approach, while Helena subtly reveals one gorgeous green eye. They all have wild, curly glam hair and show just enough skin, but which Super has the sassiest wink?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cozy Winter Flats

FabSugar — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:37:22 -0800

I recently presented a challenge that was going to take some thinking outside the box. A Fab reader who lives in NYC seeks warm, semi-dressy flats to wear in the Winter that aren't boots or sneakers. She wants to retire the Chucks she currently lives in, so I asked you to help keep her feet dressy-cozy. I started you off with this Banana Republic Black Skinny Jean ($90) because she will be mostly be wearing the flats with jeans and pants. Let's see your suggestions.

Look #1, created by Claire Underwear, is too cute, especially the ruffle flats.

See the rest.

Trend Alert: Winter Retreat

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

It's bound to happen. Everyone starts to hibernate as the days get shorter and the temp gets colder. However, that's no excuse to dress drab. I suggest making your Winter retreat a fashionable one via buffalo plaid, sherpa-lined denim, laced boots, and boyfriend jeans. Think Paul Bunyan, or rather, Paulina Bunyan, when styling your warm warfare. Now, all I need is a cabin, fireplace, hot cocoa, and a snuggly stud muffin.

Celebrity Style: Miley Cyrus

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Miley Cyrus is growing up fast, and her ensemble on New Year's Eve in NYC reflects it. Billy Ray's daughter shielded herself from the cold in a chic winter white coat with oversized black buttons, a knit cap, black gloves, and black suede boots. My only complaint is that her hat and coat are slightly matchy matchy; to fix, I gave her a plaid one. Keep up the Fab work, Miley!

Soia & Kyo Wool Twill Walking Coat with Back Buckle Detail - $375.00	Eugenia Kim Muffy Oversized Plaid Equestrian Cap - $209.00
Edun Sylph Trouser Pocket in Grey Garment Dye - $185.00	Via Spiga Decorum - $350.00
Kashmere black knit detail cashmere gloves - $36.00	Textured Chandelier Earrings - $49.00

Fab Finding Follow-Up: FabSugar Coat Challenge

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Fab reader Sabina Tarnowka needed our help. She recently moved to Michigan and is in dire need of a warm Winter jacket. She's on a budget, so I challenged you to find items under $200. Remember, Sabina wants snazzy, not sporty. I started you off with this EEK! by Eugenia Kim Bow Beanie ($38) for inspiration. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is casual but stunning. The check coat and over-the-knee boots are divine.

Look #2, created by Sarahab145, is understated chic. Camel with black and white equals love.

Look #3, created by nikkeeb, has a boho touch. Those ruffle ankle boots are too cute.

Winter Boots To Wear Instead of UGG(lie)s

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 06:32:55 -0800

I'm over them (for the record, I was never under them). Molly is over them. There are cuter and newer alternatives to the chunky, casual UGG - I swear it! Go ahead, be a trendsetter. Check these out, and please please please try to break the mold. For me? Also, these alternate UGGs are less expensive and, in my opinion, not as UGG(ly) as the played out boot.

Rubber Duck Snowjoggers in Olive, $80. These come in many more colors and are old school cool. And, did I mention Sienna Miller and Katherine Heigl sport these?

A couple more, read more

Front Lace Hardsole Suede Fringe Boot, $70.95. My personal favorite, these come in more colors and are so chic with long leggings and a tunic sweater.
