The Look For Less: Aurélie Bidermann Gold Lace Cuff

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 04:00:22 PDT

The decadence was calling me. When I spied this Aurélie Bidermann 18-karat Gold-Dipped Lace Cuff ($1,890), I swooned. The intricate lace-like gold is totally goddess inspired, I swore I had to have it. Check that - when I spied the four-digit tag, I was forced to rethink my commitment . . .

See what I found for less after the jump.

Online Sale Alert! Cool Jewels (and More) on Sale at Anthro

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:00:22 PDT

I've long loved Anthropologie for its vintage-feel finds. In particular, its jewels are on my mind to add a little sparkle when I show some skin. So, since jewels are on sale, I say, why not? Especially when this Fireworks Flower Cuff ($90, originally $178) caught my attention - it lends just the right amount of dazzle at a dazzlingly reduced price.

Glitterati: UnEarthed

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 03:30:33 PDT

UnEarthed, by sisters Gina and Karen Koenig, is a result of a mutual love of fashion, art and leathercraft. All three elements are evidenced in the sophisticated-cum-edgy collection of cuffs, earrings and bangles. The duo vowed never to use embossed leathers and imitation skins, so everything you see is made of real crocodile, alligator and snake skin, even this Plum Snakeskin Silver Cuff, $33. The color is obtained by a dye and the slick sheen by hand polishing. Just the perfect accessories for a Wild Thing!

Cuff Love

FabSugar — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 13:00:22 PDT

Wasn't I just saying that arm armor is here to stay? Leave it to style setter Sienna Miller to prove me right! As seen in this week's Life & Style, cuff love is a plenty. There are so many styles already available so good luck narrowing down your purchases. I'm already planning on mixing metals or just letting the focus go to one dramatic cuff for all to see. Go on, feel the cuff love.

Trend Alert - Special Runway Edition! The Season of the Wrist

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 09:20:22 PDT

There's no stopping the bracelet brigade. It is indeed the season of the wrist. Tuck away those simple earrings and dainty rings, jewelry remains a way to make a statement. Karl was cuckoo for bangles and cuffs at both his Fall RTW (right) and Cruise 2008 (left) collections. So if you've forever been jonesing for classic Chanel wristwear get ready for an influx. Pile on the drama like at Louis Vuitton (middle), where Marc Jacobs didn't hold back and chose to twin his metallic bangles with an even more metallic clutch.

My styling tip? All you need is a black long-sleeve turtleneck, some tailored jeans, pile those bracelets on and you are cocktail-ready. Tchin-Tchin!

I see there are some animal loving fashionistas out there! At least, that's what your Fab Finds this week say to me. And snakes! You like snakes! (Maybe not real snakes, but in the jewelry form, anyway). The first time I showed you all snakes, it wasn't received very well - but you all have proven otherwise this time!

The Fab Finder of the week is cocca, who found a fabulous snake-loving snakeskin cuff! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!

Fendi F Logo Cuff: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 19 May 2007 16:44:44 PDT

A friend of mine is thinking about buying this Fendi F Logo Cuff, $180, so she brought it to my attention. I am really into the whole black-and-white mod combo and this cuff definitely reflects that look. I like that you can't quite tell if the black part is an "F" or if it's just some Mondrian-esque pattern. What do you all think?

Trend Alert: Statement Cuffs

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 13:44:44 PDT

The bracelet of the moment is the cuff - no doubt about that. But when the options are a plenty things start to get saturated and therefore unappealing; or maybe that's just me. Just the same as the effect of any statement jewelry, statement cuffs are a modern way to stand out via jewelry. The best part? Less is more - you can tone down your outfit and let your wrist shine on.

For the second time today, Diane Kruger caught our attention at the Berlin Film Festival, this time wowing in a dramatic Giambattista Valli gown at the premiere of Farewell, My Queen. Thanks to a bold combination of polka dots, a ladylike tie-neckline, and a wash of sequins over the bodice, the couture confection may just be another one to add to the growing list of looks only Diane can wear. Adding to the drama, Diane sported an edgy set of cuff earrings, dark polish, and a statement clutch by Judith Leiber. We're still digesting the look, but now we're turning it to you - click through to see every angle, then be sure to tell us what you think in comments.
