Say Goodbye to Bikini Malfunctions: Stylish Two-Pieces That Stay Put

Michele Foley — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 03:06:12 PDT

If I could, I'd live in a bikini the entire Summer, except that most stylish two-pieces don't stay on for much more than sunbathing. With more women surfers hitting the beach than ever before, swimwear companies are making suits that not only look good, but also stay put. These bikinis are also comfy, require no adjustment once on, and dry quickly. Whether you're duckdiving under a wave, jumping into a pool, or doing some major swimming, here are five suits that will outlast the season.

Inspired Style: Sienna's Statement-Making Mittens

Hannah Weil — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:00:05 PST

Sienna Miller may be bundled up in black, but all she needs to make a statement are those sweet, stripey gloves. Just proof that while Winter warmers - like scarves, gloves, and hats - are small accessories, their style value is major. Choose something printed, brightly hued ($33, originally $73), or sparkly ($8). Sienna inspires, and we've got the Fab-approved picks ready to shop, just click the items above to get the look!

Dress Up Without Overdressing

Sponsor — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 05:45:00 PDT

This holiday season, we have an uncontrollable desire to dress up without being overdressed. The collection takes a mysterious turn by drawing from the dark and light sides of fashion. Graphic prints, tie-dyes, and florals play a leading role, giving a touch of street energy with flirty, romantic undertones.

Look of the Day: Shopping With the Boys

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:50:22 PDT

Well, for jennyjenny it's clear that shopping with the boys won't detract from being a girl. Actually, what I love about this look is that it's totally fit to hang with the boys or chill with the girls. Her Fab fedora is cool, and a just a little moody, balancing the whimsy of her printed pink mini. Cross-body bag, oversize shades, sandals, and cardi are the style staples that make it click.

Here's what she has on:
Top: Easel
Sweater: Forever 21
Hat: H&M
Skirt: Walter
Belt: Banana Republic
Sunglasses: Christian Dior
Flip Flops: Billabong
Purse: Miu Miu

Congrats to jennyjenny!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Sony Teams Up With Billabong For Special Edition Vaio W

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 May 2010 10:30:20 PDT

If you're a beach bum, but still like to be on top of the latest technology, the new special edition Sony Vaio W is for you. Well actually, for now it's only for Australians. Heading for Australian shores this Summer, the beach-inspired Sony W will come adorned in the latest board-short fashions of Billabong but will still be stocked with all the Sony components you're used to - 1GB of RAM, a single core 1.83GHz processor, Windows 7, a 10.1 LED widescreen display, and a 256GB hard drive.

The Billabong Vaio will come in at $749 and hopefully will make its way to US shores soon - I'm kinda digging the bright and cool color palette. It's perfect for Summer! What do you think?

Shop Billabong's Designer Closet, Get a Free Billabong Tote

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:50:22 PST

I was doing my monthly Swell peruse when I came across Billabong's Designer Closet collection. Billabong is looking to up its fashion game with a 12-piece high fashion collection - here are a few of the beach-centric offerings, some designed by surfer and Billabong spokesmodel Tori Praver. Not only would I consider several of these items (come to mama, blue tie-dye maxi), while supplies last, if you purchase any piece, you receive a free Billabong canvas tote. Beach party outfit and bag in the bag.

Trend Alert: Wide(r) Brim Hats

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Maria! In Acapulco, Mexico, no less. Check out model Mariacarla Boscono at the Acapulco Moda Nextel press conference-looking Summer glam in a wide(r) brim hat and gold brocade dress. And you know what? I realized that a shorter-rim hat doesn't provide as much sun protection as a floppy or wider-brim fedora. So may I suggest a super-chic, super coverage hat for long Summer days? Maria's fedora still manages to be menswear cool . . . follow her lead and pair it with a glamorous dress for optimum decadence.
