Look of the Day: Exotica

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 05:00:22 PDT

By now, we've seen menswear vests galore. While I participate in the craze, I like to switch it up at times. Reginads knows what I'm talking about. She's looking gorgeously exotica in her cropped vest with tassels. The long white tee provides a clean palette for the busy print.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Zara
Pants: Sfera

Congrats to reginads!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Handbag Designer Spotlight: Bird

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:00:22 PDT

If the name Liz Carey sounds familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen the model/actress walking the runways of Alexander McQueen or Versace. Or maybe you caught a glimpse of her in the movies Spanglish or The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Now fast-forward. Liz has taken a new role - handbag designer - and it looks like she's found her niche.

Her handbag collection, dubbed Bird, is all about the exotic. Taking pieces from her worldly travels, the budding designer has created a line filled with personality and culture. From ostrich to snakeskin to Guatemalan wedding shirts, Liz's rich-hippie aesthetic had me - and Lake Bell, and Rachel Bilson - at hello. Oh yeah, and if you're wondering why Liz named her collection Bird, it's because the word also means "girl" in British slang.

Spring Peek: Exotica

Many designers were trippin' for Spring. Whether it was an escape to India, a safari through Africa, or an excursion to Belize, exotica is one of the most exciting and adventurous trends to look forward to. Just Cavalli knows how to pack for it, so take note. It's easy to doze off into woolgathering when perusing these looks - maybe they'll inspire you to book your next exotic escape. What's on Fab's mind? I'm itching to go to Amsterdam or Thailand. Bon voyage . . .
