Fab Ad: D&G Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer '08

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 05:00:22 -0800

The dominatrix is out, and the lux hippie is in. Fab! I have been loathing Dolce & Gabbana's ads for a couple seasons now; they've just been too harsh and in your face. Remember last January when an ad was pulled because consumer groups didn't appreciate the knife play in it? Yeah, exactly my point. The Italian bad boys went good with both their D&G and namesake Spring collections and it was a much needed breath of fresh air for the house. Shot by Mario Testino, from the flower lined floor, pin straight center parted hair and flowing white frocks, things are looking free-thinking and fabulous at this party. Wish I was invited . . .

Fab Exclusive! Rachel Roy on East Coast Versus West Coast

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

During our interview with Rachel Roy, we talked to the designer about growing up in the Bay Area (Monterey), and the differences between East and West Coast life. Interestingly, Rachel described the East Coast as more segregated compared to the West:

"I grew up in the Bay Area and went to college on the East Coast. Things were quite segregated, and I wasn't into that. I'm only 35 - so it's not like we're talking many years ago - but I wasn't used to it because I grew up around Samoans, African-Americans, and Filipinos. You go to a club based on the music you like, not based on the kind of people you want to be around. I kind of went into a culture shock when I moved to the East Coast.

I try to bring back that laid-back, hippie-chic attitude that the Bay Area has to my business because I've interned at so many places in fashion where it can be quite anal. But I also love New York. I love that it's the closest city we have to Europe, so that's a part of me, but thank God I'm from an area that keeps me out of it."

The Look For Less: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Cree Fringe Flat Thong Sandal

FabSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 01:00:22 -0700

If fringe had a season it would have to be Summer. I can't think of a better time for me to rock this trend with shorts, skirts, jeans, you name it. Take for instance this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Flat Fringe Sandal ($204). The short, sleek fringe is the ideal mix of hippie-chic and city glam but I'm not willing to pay that much for such a statement piece.

This Wanted Fringe Sandal ($39) is more up my alley. It's much cheaper and the style is dead-on. What more can you ask for?

Fab Gift Guide: Hippie Bro

Peace, love and fiber-friendly fabrics - that's how to please the Hippie Bro. Your bro was way ahead of the eco movement. Pssht - he's been composting and driving a diesel for years. But he's (secretly) happy that now it's not all hemp and hippie beads. Show him you appreciate his earth-saving sensibility with eco-chic brands like Loomstate and Alternative Apparel.

The Look For Less: Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:00:08 -0700

Last night's episode of Gossip Girl wasn't as juicy as the premiere, but there were enough scrumptious affairs to keep us on our toes until next week. As the Upper East Siders left the Hamptons, Serena and Dan couldn't seem to keep their paws off one another. Seriously, who could resist Serena's temptation and her fabulous frock? Her tie-dye Adam maxi dress looks hippie-chic. To complete the ensemble, a layered Margo Morrison necklace and Sigerson Morrison sandals. Her cute party look inspired me to find a similar, cheaper outfit.

Dina Chiffon Halter - $27.80	Sohoe Tan Leather - $89.95
Artistique Layered Necklace - $44.00	Tory Burch Women's Glazed Leather Logo Clutch - $295.00
