Simply Fab: Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Beach Bag

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:00:22 -0800

It's a bag, no wait, it's a beach towel, wait . . . it's both! This MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Terry Beach Bag ($235) works like a beach bag and beach mat all rolled up into one. Just unzip the sides and huzzah: the cheery yellow plush terry towel is ready to protect you from the sand. Fab!

Two Bags in One!

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 00:53:14 -0700

Whether you're going back to the beach or back to school, a cute tote bag is a must. And a reversible tote bag? That's like getting two bags for the price of one!

Designer Sheila Djiwatampu, after training in Indonesia and Switzerland, has taken the plunge and hung out her own shingle. Her website, Sheila D, showcases these functional and fashion-forward totes, school bags, and pouches. You can buy them here for just $28. So get one for your remaining beach days, then when summer's over, just toss it in the laundry, turn it inside out, and take it back to school.

The Bag To Have: Lauren Merkin Cassie Beach Tote

The beach is whispering your name...can you hear it?! No? Okay, just play along!

Pick up this fabulous Lauren Merkin Cassie Beach Tote, $195, throw on your cool one-piece swimsuit, and get moving. Not only is this tote great because it has room to fit everything in it, it's also pretty darn cute on the arm. It comes in several colors (yellow, black, off-white) and serves double duty as a city tote. The price is not half bad, either.

What really makes this bag worthy of our time is the gold leather trim. Without it, it would look just like any old beach tote. So even if you still can't hear the water whispering your name, buy this beauty and be prepared to be the talk of the town, er, beach.

Fab Ad: Derek Lam, Spring '10

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:00:08 -0800

Derek Lam likes to keep his friends close and his models closer. After seeing Ginta Lapina on his arm at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards last week, we found the model posing in Lam's new Spring campaign. "We went back to the beach, but it’s a dreamy world of cream-colored sand, highlighted by pops of color from vibrant clothing and accessories," said Creative Director Doug Lloyd.

The ad, shot by Solve Sundsbo at Pier 59 Studio in New York, showcases Ginta looking quirky cute in Lam's polka-dot confections. I love the punchy accessories, and Ginta's updo and red lips are a fun contrast to the beachy backdrop. Side note, what's up with the luring ominous shadow?

Look Book Love: Shopbop's Venice Beach Style

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 04:50:22 -0700

No trip to LA is ever complete without a bike cruise through Venice Beach. Shopbop knows this, too. Its latest Look Book was inspired by the Shopbop fashion director's last trip - see for yourself, she blogged all about it. Where there is V Beach, there is inspiration, albeit gritty surf/skate inspiration. Righteous, bra. The Look Book is pumped full of white, black, and gray, with shots of neon orange. Distressed jeans, zippers, leather, fringe, sporty knits, and lots of attitude tell the rebellious story.

It's about that time of year when I get a serious hankering to go to the beach. I don't know about you, but Ibiza or Cancun or even Myrtle Beach is sounding really good right about now! And what could make a stay at the beach more enjoyable than a seriously cute beach bag? This week's Life and Style has a few adorable options. I especially love the coral straw bag!

Sneak Peek! Lauren Conrad Beach Butterfly Collection

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:00:22 -0700

The name may be a bit cheesy, but I would say Lauren Conrad's latest collection, Beach Butterfly, is my favorite. That's because it includes the dress that Whitney Port wore during Lauren's show at LA Fashion Week (left). I remember loving it when I saw her and wondering if it was from Lauren's collection. There's no doubt the dress was made for the blonde reality starlet, as it's called the Whit Dress ($155).

There is also an Audri Dress ($180), named after friend and The Hills co-star Audrina Patridge. Audrina's is more expensive than Whitney's. Tisk, tisk! The rest of the collection is not surprisingly similar to the rest of her pieces, but I'll let you be the judge.
