Fabworthy: J.Crew Antonia Glitteri T-Strap Heels

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 09:10:33 -0700

Whoa, when did J.Crew get so fancy schmancy on us? These Antonia Glitteri T-Strap Heels, $225, are a modern fit for Cinderella. They also have a bit of The Great Gatsby in them because of the t-strap. What makes them super fabworthy is that they're glitzy without being over-the-top; and that's really hard to achieve when glitter is involved.

I wish I knew about these before going to a recent banquet. They would have definitely matched my Catherine Malandrino off-white dress. Oh well...next time!

Trend Alert: Red Hot

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Is it just me or is it red hot in here? I'm not opposed to donning a LRD but I prefer to take the alternate route with red accessories. They're ultra sexy, ultra sassy, and not so in-your-face. I don't need to tell you why this Christian Louboutin Glittered Platform Pump ($775) is scorching hot. All I need to do now is tap my heels three times for all my fashion wishes to come true.

Freaky or Fabulous: Super Sparkly Bodysuit a la McQueen

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Is there such a thing as sparkle overkill? Nah. The fact that sequins, beads, rhinestones, crystals, and all that glitters have not left fashion for years is a testament to that. Sure, in small doses it can be sweet and pretty, but that's not how Alexander McQueen rolls. Check his bronze jewel-encrusted bodysuit as seen on Abbey Lee Kershaw in Vogue Italia. Fits like a dipped-in-gold glove - head to toe and spiked heel. Her platinum locks further illuminate the scene. If I were sporting this super sparkly bodysuit I'd be hitting the town. I'm like a moth to a flame, but you tell me: freaky or Fab?

Trend Alert: Twinkle Toes

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Shoes have gotten really aggressive. Gladiator sandals, caged sandals, zippered shoes, Victoria Beckham's invisible dominatrix heels. Cool your jets! It was refreshing to see Lucy Liu, alongside Manolo Blahnik, in a pair of delectable twinkle toes. Just because every enviable Gwyn and Charlize is wearing tough-as-nails footwear doesn't mean you have to. An elegant cocoon-shaped Giambattista Valli dress is the perfect topper for the toe that glitters, but I say some rolled up jeans will do, too.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Rebecca Taylor

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:00:22 -0800

I think every runway should be glittered in gold. Maybe that's why some fashion-loving females, including Amy Smart and Carmen Electra, were in attendance. Though, the collection was really fit for Kate Hudson and her moody bohemian ways . . .

Florals were present, but somewhat tame and morbid. Ruffles, billowy dresses, lace, and glittery belts kept things very feminine, very Rebecca Taylor. Boyfriend sweaters and shearling vests were the only masculine pieces here; they were quite cute. You know I love me some leopard, the mix of moody florals and animal print really buttered my bread. Something already on my Fall wish list: the black-on-black leopard print coat. To die.

What was up with the model who had a shoe problem so she decided to just take off her heels and tippy toe the rest of the runway? Oh those silly pretty girls.

Trend Alert: Fancy Thong Flats

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:50:22 -0700

I have I don't even know how many pairs of fancy thong flats. Once hot weather hits I get in the mood for not only flats but fancy, shiny, glittering ones! These are the perfect evening alternative when you don't feel like subjecting your feet to strain or blisters fueled by high heels. Why, I think they can even be wedding appropriate - just look at some of these sparklers.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Cosmetology School Clothes!

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 16:50:44 -0700

A reader recently wrote in saying she is about to start at a trendy upper-class cosmetology school - assuming she is an avid reader of BellaSugar! - and needs a wardrobe, because they have a pretty strict dress code.

We learned she's on a budget, her bottoms have to be black (but can be anything - pants, skirts, etc.), her shirts can't have any open tummy, back, or show her armpits, and her shoes have to be black - but have no heels, open toes, or thick rubber soles.

I started you off with these Glitter Hair Clips, $3. To see all the cosmetology clothes fab finds go here.

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, found by HuongStar is perfect because it's very budget-conscious, and even with all the dress code regulations, she found a way to put together an outfit with personality!

Look #2, found by tickledpink is a bit fifties-inspired with its capri pants. Still very budget-friendly, and the bag she picked out is totally funky with its geometric print - I love it!

Look #3, found by gorjusgirl is a little dressier with a skirt. Everything is reasonably priced and I love the top and the bag!
