Fab Gift Guide: Engagement Presents for The Bride

BellaSugar — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:41:22 -0700

Engagement Week has officially begun at Sugar Publishing! Here on FabSugar we've decided to put together a little Fab Gift Guide to offer you some creative and cool engagement presents for the blushing bride to be. Weddings should be a time for celebration, happiness and bliss - they are not intended to stress you out or (unbenounced to some) break the bank. Here are gift suggestions in three different price ranges.

Under $50

This gorgeous and delicate Waterford Pressage Ring Holder, $40, is the perfect thoughtful and special engagement gift for a bride.

She isn't going to want to get grease and grime on her new bling when she's getting down and dirty, with the dishes or vacuum cleaning that is! It is also a fabulous foray into the world of china and registries to come.

$50 - $100

A Gift Certificate at SpaFinder.com for a custom makeover $75-$100 is perfect for a bride who is not only going to be the center of attention at the main event, but also at engagement parties, showers and a bachelorette party.

You will never take more pictures in one year than when you are planning to get married. This will make her feel beautiful and will give her a fresh new look. Hey, gotta keep the fire going for the fiance too!

Over $100

The BlissSpa Hot Off The Stresses Massage, $165, will make all of her worries melt away - well, at least for 75 minutes! Everyone knows that although engagements are supposed to be blissful, unfortunately families, planning, financial strains, etc. can also make this an extremely stressful period of time.

This super indulgent massage is a very popular gift pick. People usually opt for a 60 minute massage, and the extra time really makes a big difference. She will be rubbed with warm essential lavender, bergamot, and sage oils, and the massage is also accompanied by a warm wax foot softening pack.

BlissSpa has locations in New York City, Chicago, Dallas, London, San Francisco and Los Angeles. You can of course choose any spa local to the bride if you don't live in/near one of these cities to pamper the precious bride!

Whose Bride Wars Style Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:12:22 -0800

I like this little fashion trick Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are playing on us. On the European red carpet for Bride Wars, Anne wore a light hued Gianfranco Ferre dress, while Kate wore a dark Louis Vuitton one. Then in the garden photo shoot, Kate wore a light outfit, while Anne went dark. Is it night and day? Salt and pepper? At the Berlin premiere, both wore all black. These ladies have certainly stepped up their game, but whose Bride Wars style is most Fab?

Celebrity Style Double Whammy: Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:06:09 -0800

Today, we're mixing things up with a double whammy. Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway looked stellar together at the Bridewars photo call in Berlin. They're both wearing dark ensembles but are showing off very different styles.

Kate opted for more va-va-voom by wearing a leather Temperley London pencil skirt, silk ruffled top, and black patent peep toe pumps. For accessories, the actress decked on gold hoop earrings, a fat cocktail ring, and layered Jennifer Meyer chains.

On the flip side, Anne exuded casual glam in mixed metal adornments - including Sara Weinstock bracelets and $4,900 Garrard wing earrings - a black wrap-around sweater, J Brand skinny jeans, and patent booties. I love them both, what about you?

Ruffle bow blouse - $54.00	Vince Leather Pencil Skirt - $695.00
Harriet - $99.00	Diamond Dust Gold Hoops - $9.95
CC Skye Vintage Inspired Cocktail Ring - $159.00	Delicate Initial Necklace - $18.00
14k Gold 1/4-Ct. Certified Diamond Solitaire Pendant - $1,285.00

Fab Body Guide: Flexees Easy Up Firm Control Waist Nipper

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

With a couple of my friends getting married this year, I've been hearing a lot of talk about staying in shape. Naturally, the brides-to-be want to look svelte for the big day. But the truth is, the majority of them are being lazy. Gasp! An easier solution, since time is not on their side, is this Flexees Easy Up Firm Control Waist Nipper ($23, originally $34). If your tummy is your problem area, I suggest investing in it. The side boning gives the illusion of an hourglass figure, while the smooth fabric eliminates bunching and bulges. It also comes in nude for those wearing the white dress.
