Design Your Own Chucks!

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I've always been a fan of Chucks. They're comfy, iconically cool, and perfect for kickback days. You can imagine my excitement when found out I can make my own personalized pair with the brand's new custom creator tool. All you have to do is pick a style, choose a color or print, pick embellishments, and sign your name on the dotted line - voila! Since I've been dreaming of feline prints, I created these fresh high-top kicks complete with a purple animal print and my name at the bottom.

In addition, you can help out the (PRODUCT) RED campaign by choosing the Make Mine (RED) option, where 15 percent of your purchase will go to the Global Fund. I'm always down for a good cause. Prices start at $62 and delivery takes two to four weeks - start designing!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cal Football Game

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

The big Cal football game happened recently, and though I'm not a big football fan, PartySugar is. She and a group of friends went to support their alma mater, so I asked you to help her look stylish and sporty. But there was an important stipulation: her outfit has to incorporate blue and gold, UC Berkeley's colors.

I'll start you off with these Hue Denim Leggings ($28) because they will make her look, not feel, dressed up. Let's see my favorite look!

I'm super smitten with azulskies's outfit. It's spunky, yet sporty, and incorporates Cal's colors. I think I need those yellow Chucks.

Back to Cool: Clarissa Explains It All

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Oh Clarissa, how I've missed you. With a wardrobe of overalls, Converse, chokers, polka-dots, and totes, your style was slightly grungy but girlie. I envied it all. Besides her wardrobe, I especially loved it when Sam would climb into her room through her window. It made me wish my best friend lived next door, too.

March Shopping Madness! Candy Kicks

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:00:22 -0700

There's no better way to exude youth this Spring than with candy kicks. But shy away from chunky, boyish sneakers - instead, invest in lean low-tops in exuberant colors. Not only are they super comfortable to frolic in, they're also pure eye candy. Pick a pair in your favorite hue and wear it with a voluminous mini, playful tee and a lightweight cardi. Fun!

Trend Alert: Olive Green Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:00:08 -0800

Baby, it's cold outside, but that shouldn't stop you from looking stylishly warm. Just take a gander at Gwyneth Paltrow, spotted on her way to lunch in London. Her olive green jacket is quintessentially chic. This warm color gives off a cool, militant vibe and goes with any ensemble. Pair it with skinny black pants and boots right now and with a flirty frock in the Spring. I actually own four and wouldn't have it any other way.

Fab Flash: Gisele Bundchen and Elle Team Up For (PRODUCT) RED

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:00:22 -0800

In an effort to fight the battle against HIV and AIDS in Africa, Gisele has teamed up with Elle magazine and (PRODUCT) RED apparel. The Super is set to appear in over 30 international Elle editions wearing an array of (PRODUCT) RED endorsed clothing from the likes of Gap, Armani, Converse, and Apple. 50 percent of all profits go towards the cause.

The do-gooder has also joined in on Bono's AIDS-fighting initiative along with Scarlett Johannson's effort in spreading awareness about the epidemic. "If that [fighting HIV and AIDS] can be achieved by buying a couple of pairs of Converse, it's worth a shot," said Johansson.

She kept warm and looked cool in a dark green ribbed sweater, black platform wedge Balenciaga boots, and her signature oversize Chanel sunnies. You'll notice she has a new Chanel bag; perhaps a Christmas present from Joel? It's large, patent, burgundy, and so yum.
