15 Ways to Add Whimsy to Your Wardrobe

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Whimsical, playful, comical, eccentric - all ways to describe giving into fanciful notions. Polka dots, bows, sequins, animals, and ruffles are all ways to amuse yourself. I have been in a whimsical fashion mood lately - perhaps Louis Vuitton's bunny ears, coupled with Mary-Kate and Ashley's lace ears, spawned it. And it's so much fun! I encourage all you fashion fans to dabble from time to time. Just one disclaimer: limit your whimsical item to one or two at a time, unless you to want to scream fashion freak.

10 Fab Valentine's Day Gifts Under $20

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Love. Amore. Amour. Whatever you call it, the day to express it is around the corner. Now, I don't think love should solely be celebrated once a year, but it's nice to be extra amorous on Feb. 14. Tight budgets are ruling our lives right now, but that doesn't mean we can't participate in the festivities. I present 10 Fab Valentine's Day gifts under $20. Some are pieces you can wear to attract a new lover, entice a longtime lover, or to make an old lover jealous. Others, like this Old Navy Amore T-Shirt ($15), are more practical and can be worn even after V-day. But the common denominator is that they all wholeheartedly reflect love. Or amore. Or amour.

Everyone is loving hearts these days. Versace's Spring collection is covered in them and so is this scrumptious Marc Jacobs Love Big Heart Nude Satchel ($1,895). Pricey, yes, but its beauty cannot be denied. It's like a super luxe art project executed by Mr. Jacobs himself. I swear, if everyone carried one of these, the world would be a more loving place. I mean, can you imagine yourself getting mad at a person carrying a bag covered in hearts? I can't.

Check it: hearts aren't just for Valentine's Day and love letters. I'm urging you to add hot heart prints to your wardrobe. These aren't sappy heart prints; think colorful graphics and bold statements. I'm smitten with this Rory Beca Rothko Zipper Back Top ($246). The abstract heart shape and purple palette is right up my alley. Come on peeps, time to add more love to your life!

Fab Gift Guide: Your Beau

Valentine's Day probably isn't your man's favorite holiday of the year, but you still gotta show your honey your undying love for him. If you're man has metrosexual tendencies, he may enjoy cheeky gifts emblazoned with hearts. If he's more of a macho macho man, steer clear of pink and hearts, and go for deeper red goods. If he's somewhere in the middle, try a cool pink T-shirt. Bottom line: Make it special so his love flame keeps burning strong!

Are you feeling the love? Valentine's Day is months away and yet designers were sending hearts and kisses down the Fall runways last February, so they were obviously feeling the love. If you're not shy of cheeky motifs, it doesn't get much sweeter than this. Just look at this vixen on the Tuleh catwalk, she's been kissed by the fashion bug. I heart fashion.
