Simply Fab: Plates with Purpose

FabSugar — Wed, 02 May 2007 14:28:22 -0700

To encourage you all to go go green, I thought it would be timely to share with you these Plates with Purpose, $36-$88. These are not your average plates. Each one, whether it's 5x10, 9" or 14", is made of post-industrial/pre-consumer recycled glass, which means, unlike the glass plates you have sitting in your cabinet right now, it won't take a million years to decompose. With these unique plates, you can eat more comfortably knowing you're helping the environment. Plus, they're dishwasher and microwave safe. YumSugar would love these. Chic and beneficial - tres genius!

The Rainy Day Solution: Hunter Wellies!

Fab Community — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

I'm always on the lookout for cute rain boots. Check out dany92's awesome find in our Fashion Passion group.

The leaves are starting to change colors, an umbrella is becoming your new best friend, and your nice suede moccasin boots start to feel the abuse - what's the fashionable solution? Hunter Gum boots! These boots are sleek, chic and don’t really look like wellies. You can without a doubt, wear them with your favorite pair of jeans, tucked in, and they will have a very urban, I am going hunting with Prince Charles this afternoon look. To be totally honest, Hunter boots are the real deal, the Rolls Royce of wellies - and they come in a cute, fun array of colors. My favorites? The pink pair and the black – so classy and versatile. I could possibly go for the timeless black, forest green, or navy option, although all the colors are Fab. Hard to make up my mind . . . If Kate Moss can rock these boots and get rave reviews in Vogue, I'm sure any fashion-conscious girl can pull these off.

The Bag to Have: Alexander McQueen Skull Zipper Clutch

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

OK, let's all take a moment and soak in Claudia's fashion party prowess at London Fashion Week. Her green leopard print minidress is beyond scintillating and so is her Alexander McQueen Skull Zipper Clutch ($495). Every fashionphile knows that accessories are key to completing an outfit. This McQueen clutch is rad for many reasons. The supple leather and sophisticated shape are timeless features, but it's really the diminutive skill pendant that tickles my - and Claudia's – fancy.

10 Warm Winter Coats You Need Now!

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

I'm all about taking precautionary measures during flu season. Besides getting my annual flu shot, I always make sure to bundle up and stay warm. That's where a fabulous warm Winter coat comes into play. I own an arsenal of toppers from my days in NYC, but if you're still looking for that perfect outerwear piece, check out these 10 Winter coat picks. There's houndstooth print for McQueen lovers, pea coats for the classically chic, bright red for the daring stylephile, and fresh ponchos for the fashion-forward. The best thing? Every item is priced under $300 - sweet. I own a green anorak jacket similar to this Charlotte Ronson Army Twill Jacket ($290), and I can't live without it.
