The Look For Less: Black Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 09:40:33 -0700

The YSL Downtown Medium Leather Tote, $1,495, is nothing new in the world of fashion, but it's still pretty darn lust-worthy. Besides the fact that it's a celeb must-have, it also has such a unique shape and look to it. Too bad its price tag is in the thousands...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I came across this Fashion Express Buckle Tote, $32. It looks practically identical to the YSL tote. In fact, they look like they could be long-lost sisters! I know many of you aren't comfortable with carrying designer knock-offs, but for $32, it's a look for less like I've never seen before.

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue. I would grab my fabulous Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote ($1,495) and set out to buy the latest and greatest fashions. Wouldn't that be nice? While shopping on 5th Avenue might be a far cry from reality, I can surely find a similar shopping companion, no?

This Spiegel Oversized Tote Bag ($29) packs major bang for the buck. The patent sheen and rivet detailing give off the same decadent look without the heavy price tag. Done and done.

Fab's Perfect Size Bag

FabSugar — Sun, 27 May 2007 12:02:22 -0700

Life & Style claims they've found the perfect size bag: the YSL Downtown tote, but I beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, the Downtown tote is definitely gorg and a really good travel bag, but we think it's too big for everyday use. What can one girl possibly store in such a gigantic purse? Notice how tiny Ashlee Simpson looks next to her red tote. She could probably hide in it if she ever wants to get away from her eyeliner-wearing boyfriend, Pete Wentz!

Patent-A-Thon: Handbags

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 12:25:55 -0800

Patent leather has officially become one of the latest fashion feeding frenzies. What's fabulous about this material is it is very resistant, timeless and sexy - what more could you ask for? As well, patent is no longer reserved for dressing up or accessories only; the new versions of it can be worn day or night, work or play, yay! Because patent is a plenty, and in such fantastic colors, I thought a week long Patent-A-Thon should provide a good fix. Patent leather junkie? Take a look at this glorious assortment of patent leather handbags. Which one do you fancy?

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

Kate Moss and friends - Sienna Miller and hairdresser James Brown - visited the Make Today Count Auction at the Cancer Research UK shop. Kate outshone Sienna in her black blazer and YSL ostrich downtown tote. I've grown tired of the Wayfarer sunnies, but I do like the shorts-over-tights look. Do you?

Trend Alert: Checkerboard Chicks

FabSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 09:50:33 -0700

If you happen to recognize what movie defined checkerboard chicks, you are good. Any takers? Here's a hint: check out Buzz's Summer Movie Preview and look out for the remake! But on Fab, checkboard chicks are gals who wear their black and white graphic duo proudly. There's just something collected yet cute about black and white checker prints - whether big or small. Here are some of my picks.

DKNY Spaghetti Strap Dress, $295. Great pick WhiplashGirlchild!

Fab Flash: "Paris Je T'aime" Afterparty at YSL Boutique

FabSugar — Wed, 02 May 2007 15:25:22 -0700

The chic handbags, shoes and frocks in Yves Saint Laurent's 57th Street Paris boutique were not alone last night. Stars like Natalie Portman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, Catalina Sandina Moreno, all in the upcoming movie, "Paris Je t'aime," gathered at the store for a soiree to celebrate the opening of the flick, which is now showing in the Paris Theatre. I must say, Natalie Portman looks so much like the actress she is always compared to: Audrey Hepburn. So ladylike yet modern!

It was said that a portion of the proceeds from sales of the YSL Downtown Totes, $1,095, will go to the Anthology Film Archives.
