FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

It's outfits like this that make me want to just sit back and bask in Look Book glory. Sergeantkero looks ready for Indonesia Fashion Week with her Fab Indo finds. Her floral dress is perfectly accessorized with a belt and tough soles. A khaki blazer is a fresh take - are you over black ones, too? And what cute layered bracelets . . .

Here's what she's wearing:

Dress: Forever 21
Blazer: Gitchy (a local Indonesian store)
Belt: Forever 21
Booties: Belle (a local Indonesian store)

Congrats to sergeantkero!

Fab Ad: Gap Design Editions, Summer '09

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I was on the fence when I first peeped Gap's latest Design Editions team-up, but seeing its ad campaign has changed my outlook. Shot by Craig McDean, the shots feature models Raquel Zimmerman, Anna Jagodzinska, Arlenis Sosa, and Coco Rocha wearing khaki collaborations from Alexander Wang, Vena Cava's Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai, and Albertus Swanepoel. I love the fun, no-fuss fashion angle and the clothes - which retail between $40 - $88 - look cute and wearable.

The plain background allows the cool khaki creations and models' bright faces to take the forefront. Also, notice how each designer is posing alongside his/her designs. That way, we know who designed each item. Effective yet simple. What do you think?

Dress: Donna
Belt: Urban Outfitters
Bag: Bally
Shoes: Steven by Steve Madden

Congrats to jsutt!

Look of the Day: Peek-a-boo

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Here's what she has on:

Top: Target
Pants: Gap
Bracelets: Dillards
Sandals: Nine West

Congrats to syako!

Trend Alert: Highlight Your Khakis

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Don't you love how neon highlighters instantly liven up a boring textbook? Oh, I guess they help you study, too. The same idea goes for fashion. Highlight your khakis with brightly colored separates and you'll be rewarded with admiring glances. Try this look with a khaki skirt or pants. I prefer to keep the bottoms neutral with a spicy shirt but feel free to mix it up like Jenni Kayne did (left), in her 2009 Resort collection.

Online Sale Alert! Bargains at Old Navy

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I've been on a mad hunt to find some cool khaki pieces that can offset my neon tops. I was thrilled when I stopped into my local Old Navy and found this Old Navy Khaki Linen Mini Skirt ($10, originally $25). If you're in the same predicament, I highly recommend this piece. It looks especially hot with bright yellow and heather grey.

If khakis aren't on your brain, check out Old Navy's sale section and find yourself something Fab.

Fab Site: Rugby.com

Preppy meets cool at Rugby.com. Offspring of Ralph Lauren, Rugby.com offers a laid-back approach to preppy style. Classic (and sometimes stuffy) Ivy League staples are given an overhaul with bright colors and updated cuts. You can find an array of retailored polos, knits, sweaters, oxfords, chinos, denim, and, of course, rugby shirts that won't bore you. My favorite is the madras patchwork blazer - quite Fabtastic.

Trend Alert: Cool Cropped Khakis

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Leave it to Rihanna to wear a sleek pair of cool cropped khakis to a business meeting in NYC - Rihanna does power dressing like no other. OK, so she's wearing a white crop top under, which could be considered unprofessional, but this is Rihanna we're talking about. This ensemb even contains a nautical nod. Sigh.These pants aren't overly trendy, and can be carried into cooler months with smart layers and cozy knits. Heels are a must for a more professional presentation, while exotic sandals take it to foreign territory. I know I've convinced myself to get a pair, have I convinced you?
