FabSugar — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 07:30:33 -0700

Bring out your inner bond girl with a golden finger. I showed you some gorgeous cocktails rings, (dahling) not too long ago but these bold gold pieces evoke a different message. They're tough, they're in-your-face and they're here to stay. Ditch the rest of the rings when you dip your finger in gold - a stand out gold ring is all you need for your next rendezvous.

Celeb Style: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Oh, Monet. You're relatively incognito, but when you do show your face - and bod - it's refreshing and ultra styley. The actress did some shopping in London in a casual gray monochrome 'fit. Her gold-studded Topshop sweater already has me obsessed, and her faded gray jeans are rugged chic. Neutral accessories, including tan Louboutin pumps, a gold ball ring, and an adorable knit beret, are spot-on. Happy shopping, Monet!

The Look For Less: Dior Diorette Yellow Gold Ring

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:00:22 -0700

One of my favorite things about Spring are the flowers. They're colorful and always put a smile on my face. This Dior Diorette Yellow Gold Ring ($5,550) had the same effect on me . . . before I found out the price! I would never pay that much for a ring. Yikes.

Juicy is by no means cheap, but I can justify paying $88 for this Juicy Couture Garden Party Ring. It may be more pastel than the Dior version, but the feminine flowers still make me happy.

The Look For Less: Dior Oui Gold Ring

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Costume jewelry is supposed to be a more affordable version of fine jewelry, but this Dior Oui Gold Ring ($625) doesn't really stick to that idea. But, it showed up in a lot of your Fab Finds, and I do agree, it is adorable.

They're no Fab Dior ring, but these Oui Love Post Earrings ($12) still get the same message across. Any dash of Frenchness adds that bit of je ne sais quoi to an outfit!

FabSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:55:15 -0700

Sandra Oh smiled her way to the Emmy Awards wearing a strapless gold-beaded Marchesa gown. The darker metallic hue complements her skin tone, and I love the trendy tassel belt. Gold-drop earrings, a statement ring, and black-satin clutch complete her look. Does it dazzle you?

MTV Video Music Awards: Amber Rose

FabSugar — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:09:15 -0700

Kanye West arrived with girlfriend Amber Rose on his arm. The model is known for wearing in-your-face duds and tonight is no exception. She looks like a walking snake in her skin-tight snake-print bodysuit. Art deco earrings, a gold circle collar necklace, and a large ring are her bold accessories of choice. Are you into it?

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 10:04:33 -0700

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!

Fab Tip: Lacquer Those Jewels

FabSugar — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 09:15:22 -0700

Nail polish is created to color nails - we all know this. But that's not its sole purpose. Have you ever considered using nail polish to liven up your jewels? I have a friend who uses it to spice up her earrings - like these Mini Hearts Studs ($14) - and the result is pretty fabulous. If you're interested, the process is rather painless.

To learn how to use nail polish to jazz up your jewels, read more.

Start with smooth-surfaced jewelry (earrings work best but rings, bangles, and necklaces are doable too) to work with. Make sure your item doesn't have rhinestones or a rocky surface.
If you're going to paint with a light nail polish color, it's preferable to use silver or white jewelry. Dark polishes like red and hot yellow work fine on gold.
Now it's time to start painting your earrings with the nail polish of your choice. Apply evenly and use two to three coats to avoid chipping.
Allow to dry for about 30 minutes.
Though not required, you can add a coat of clear polish for extra shine or glitter polish for pizzazz.
