Trend Alert: Galactic Shimmer

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I'm not into Starship Troopers and the like but Katie Cassidy's galactic shimmer has me thinking twice. The blond actress attended the Melrose Place premiere party wearing a sparking navy one-sleeved mastepiece. It's glitzy, but not overly so. You don't have to go outer limits to find such scintillating shine - check out my tubular picks.

Trend Alert: Nuevo Navajo

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:50:22 -0700

It's cyclical. Especially for me. I think the fact that I re-obsess with it every few years means it's a part of my style DNA. With today's modern cuts and fresh details and yesteryears beads and colors, Navajo-esque style feels new again, aka nuevo Navajo. It doesn't take a road trip to New Mexico for me to whip out my beaded earrings and turquoise belt, but a big sky always inspires . . .

I Love Your ShopStyle: Metallics and Pastels

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Sachastar is a master at mixing and matching. While many don't think of metallics and pastels as a harmonious pair, she does. Check out the creatively cool ensembles she put together for us to enjoy. It combines a hard-rock metallic jacket and bag with prettily soft top and bracelet. A little bit of this, a little bit of that - magic.

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.

Look Book Love: Shopbop Fall '08

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 04:00:22 -0800

Shopbop creates some of the most desirable Look Books. The impeccably styled outfits always make me want most, if not all, of the goodies. If you're not already inspired this season, Shopbop's Fall Look Book will definitely excite your shopping buds. Expect to see heavy layering against cool urban and woodsy backgrounds. Proceed with caution - Shopbop's Look Books tend to bring on bouts of splurging.

Trend Alert: Bohemian Rhapsody

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Most of the time we encourage you to take different trend pieces and make an outfit your own. To mix and match. The anti-head-to-toe look. But there's a reason it's called a rhapsody. Bohemian style is poetic and a true bohemian rocks the theme utterly, completely. If this isn't you, don't trip. There is enough to go around. Attempt the rhapsody lightly or consume it deeply. Party on Wayne.

Fab Finds of the Week: Drapery

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Are you all going to a party and not inviting me? Since I'll be busy with Fashion Week, I'll let you slide on this one. Your Fab finds were all about romantic ruffles, flowy necklines, and draped bodices. Your colorful choices were also spot on. What a way to add color into a Fall wardrobe. The Fab Finder of the week is jasmint - her Religion Plaited Tie Jersey Wrap Top is unique. I like the mix between the soft jersey knit and bright color.

Trend Alert: Morocco Tripping

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

My trip to Zihuatanejo was quite the experience, but I've had my sights set on Morocco for a long time now. The country has always held this mysterious appeal, as if anything associated with it is beyond interesting and cultured. And those Moroccan tiles?! Amazing. From beaded sandals to ethnic scarves to tear skirts and embroidered dresses, Morocco Tripping is easy and oh so breezy.

March Shopping Madness: Chain of Fools

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0700

In this week's March Shopping Madness, we're moving on from shoes and honing in on bags.

Chains have consumed handbags allowing them to be the most lissom of accessories. Throw it over your shoulder, dangle it from your arm; it's as if your bag is a shimmering, clanging extension of you. For those of us who can't afford a chained Chanel 2.55, there are plenty more, less expensive chain handle bags for us chain of fools.
