Fab Finding Follow Up: Camp Fab-a-Fab-a-Hey

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

What did camp mean to you? I miss camp. Escaping the Summer lazys (and the 'rents) for color war, talent shows, and three-day boyfriends was the best. I went to two camps; one horseback-riding, more traditional camp and a scuba-diving camp. It was weeks of youthful fun. However, I never made it to camp counselor.

I asked you to create a look for the most fashionable counselor on the ranch and provided this American Living Jacket ($40, originally $120) to start with; it's so old school.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is too cool for camp. Dig the turquoise cuff and phat Ksubi shades.

KSUBI sunglasses	Sterling Silver and Turquoise Flower Bracelet (Native American)
Yves Saint Laurent Logo Leather Tote	JCPenney - American Living Jacket
Unisex Flex Fleece T - Flex Fleece	Twill Dolphin-Hem Shorts	Printed Dr. Martens

Look # 2, created by Lovecat, is preppy chic; the white Hudson capris are darling with the plaid kicks.

I'd like to ask the question what did camp mean to you, too. I miss camp. Escaping the Summer lazys (and the 'rents) for color war, talent shows, and three-day boyfriends was the best. I went to two camps; one horseback riding, more traditional camp, and a scuba diving camp. It was weeks of youthful fun. However, I never made it to camp counselor. How about creating a look for the most fashionable counselor on the ranch?

You can build from this American Living Jacket ($40, originally $120). A denim jacket takes me way back to Kumbaya.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Camping Cutie

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 11:25:18 -0700

Believe it or not, I have gone camping. Well, Fab camping - that is, there has to be a bathroom, I must have one of those plushy air mattresses, and smores is required. But I can rough it with the best of them, albeit I may be a high maintenance camper. Hey, I try ok?

Anywho, a reader wrote me suggesting we do a Fab Finding for cute camping clothes and I say: where's the compass?! Let's do it! I'll start you off with these Joe's Jeans Perry Cargo Shorts, $152, because nothing says roughing it like a pair of designer denim shorts (wink).

Let's go Fab Finding for ruggedly cute camping outfits. Feel free to throw in some camping essentials for those of us not well versed in the way of the camp. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with camping.

Victoria's Secret Wants You!

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Do you think you have what it takes to be a Victoria's Secret model? Well, here's your chance. The sexy retailer will be opening its wings to all aspiring angels with a nationwide casting call online and in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago.

The chosen ten, which by the way, will be picked by America - via online voting - and a panel of experts will jet set to NYC to participate in a modeling boot camp, dubbed Angel Boot Camp. From there, one lucky bodacious girl will win an opportunity to work the runway with the rest of the VS alum at Victoria's Secret fashion show in December.

DSquared's Camp Chic: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:00:22 -0700

DSquared always amuses. Their hodgepodge style draws inspiration from some of the most random places. For Spring, the twin bros were inspired by the great outdoors. Camping, to be specific. Last season it was the paparazzi prone PYTs of Hollywood, and I loved the layering and cheeky accessories. There are fashion-loving girls who don't mind the dirt and insects that come with tough terrain, but when did trucker hats get cute again? Adversely, the plaids, cat-eye specs, Band-Aids, glittering bracelets, and bottles, are fabulous touches. The splattered purple dress is rugged chic at its best. Are you feeling it?

Back to Cool: Grease 2

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

If you tuned into FABTV a couple weeks ago. you knew this one was coming. "Cool Rider." Obsessed. I have a Fab crush on Stephanie Zinone - and apparently you do, too! Right on. But there's more where that came from in the camp classic Grease 2. One could argue the original is the best, but I go back and forth. The wardrobes are pretty even Steven '50s high, but the sequel was filmed in '82, so there's a slight '80s flair, via sporty sunnies and lamé luau garb. Let's agree, both are Fab - but I'd choose Michael Carrington over Danny Zuko any day . . .

FABTV: Grease 2 "Cool Rider"

FabSugar — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:03:33 -0700

There are girl crushes, and there are Fab crushes. Can you believe Stephanie Zinone was Michelle Pfeiffer's first major movie role? Not only is she a serious hottie, she also sings and dances. A star in the making. I'm in the camp of almost loving Grease 2 as much as the original. The music is awesome, and the cast is very flirty and easy on the eyes. And Michael Carrington, aka Cool Rider, makes my heart melt every time. Stephanie is the rebel of The Pink Ladies who wears pants instead of skirts and is ultra inventive - here, she turns her pink jacket inside out to reveal a tougher black leather jacket. It perfectly elevates her black v-neck sweater, tight black jeans, and black boots, as do her sleek gold jewels. Crushed.

FABTV: Radiohead "Creep"

FabSugar — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:44:22 -0700

Have you ever seen Radiohead live? They rock, in the most Fab way. If you dig their moody electronic rock, add them to your show queue. I once saw them in New York on Liberty Island - it was pretty phenomenal. However, they didn't play my favorite song of theirs - "Creep." I never understood why not. "Creep" was their first commercial success, it blew up circa '93. I remember being at camp and it was always the last song of the dance. And I was giddy dancing with my two-week camp BF. So when, years later, I saw them live, I had to hear "Creep." Maybe they didn't play it because it was so popular and therefore overplayed. Oh well, I still love them and this sweet and sour song.
