Trend Alert: Wrap-Strap Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:00:22 -0800

If the over-the-knee look is too trendy and the drawstring is too avant-garde, wrap-strap boots might be just right. I've had a few friends ask me about these, and I highly recommend. They are tough without being overly so and have that funky pirate vibe. These Shoebox Strappy Booties ($275), are the perfect contenders: supple suede, a forgiving heel, and an added buckle. These boots are made for more than just walking . . .

I Want This Wardrobe: Vanessa Abrams

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:30:22 -0800

Vanessa is living her college life to the fullest. Besides getting into rompy threesomes, the Gossip Girl also enjoys showing us her selection of unique and vibrant ensembles. While strolling NYC, Vanessa kept warm in a cozy colorful plaid jacket by Diane von Furstenberg, paired with a blue embroidered dress by Nanette Lepore. Black opaque tights shield her from the Fall chill, while gray ruched boots further her bohemian 'fit.

Look of the Day: Daring Diva

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Behold the outfit mschaub2 wore to chow with her friends. The daring diva stopped to take a photo in front of an artsy graffiti wall but all I can focus on is her ensemble. Because her dress is so bold, she decided to keep her accessories to a minimum. I like the way she thinks.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Forever 21
Shoes: Chinese Laundry
Bag: Vintage

Congrats to mschaub2!

Trend Alert: Ravishing Red Heels

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:00:22 -0800

I can't get enough of Victoria Beckham's Thanksgiving fashions. Check her out looking posh as ever out and about in NYC. I love everything about this outfit, but something caught my undivided attention: her ravishing red heels (Loubs, of course!). Now is the time to don this festive color. The sexy hue is ideal for the holiday season and the styles are endless. Strappy, platform, stiletto - you get the picture. On another note, can you think of a better way to make a LBD pop? I didn't think so.

Funny, I've been lusting after her Christian Louboutin Rolando Hidden-Platform ($700). Actually, that price tag is not so funny. Oh, to live the Posh life!

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

There's no denying the power of boots. They're funky, functional, and boast a plentiful harvest.

Let me draw your attention to the subject at hand: these Kristen Lee Montague Boots ($346) go over the knee in an oh so slick manner. The supple suede exudes decadence while the wide, low heel makes for a functional staple. These thigh-grazing boots are made for the strong so stomp loud, stomp proud. Tip: stray away from the tacky and stick to dark, muted colors for a modern appeal.

Found! Serena van der Woodsen's Grey Suede Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 02:00:22 -0700

We fell in love with "Gossip Girl" Serena van der Woodsen's killer boots the moment we laid eyes on them. In true Fab fashion, we have found them, or at least a damn similar pair! Snatch up these Chinese Laundry's "Strate" Tall Boots, on sale for $63 (originally $89). Of course, you probably won't wear them with a school uniform, but any mini skirt should do the trick. In these lovelies, you're ready to tackle the world, "Gossip Girl" style.

Jeans: Zara

Style Icon: Edie Sedgwick

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 01:05:34 -0700

A 1965 fashion spread in Life magazine dubbed her "the girl with the black tights," and Edie Sedgwick wore them with everything, from dressy shift dresses to long t-shirts. So with mod styles and black tights so ubiquitous this fall-not to mention an upcoming biopic called "Factory Girl" starring Sienna Miller as Edie-it seems fitting that the socialite/actress/Factory regular should kick off Fabsugar's new Style Icons feature, where we'll spotlight past and present fashion plates and tell you how to get each one's signature look.

With her cropped platinum hair and dark-lined eyes, Edie Sedgwick defined effortless but edgy mod glamour. The key is pairing simple sheath dresses with bold jewelry, solid-color tights, and basic pumps or flats. Here are the five essential elements you need to get the look.

SHIFT DRESSES
Abaete Mod Mini Dress, $295, available here.
