A Fabby Halloween: Michael Jackson

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

No doubt, the King of Pop (RIP) will be a popular choice for Halloween this year. Who doesn't want to emulate such saucy style and cool character? Channeling your inner Micheal Jackson requires androgynous dressing: a white tee, loose cropped trousers, a drummer jacket - local thrift stores are filled with treasures from this era. Don't forget essential accessories like white socks, a black fedora, and trademark silver sequin glove. I'm bad, you know it . . .

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Trend Alert: Black Patent Loafers

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Mossie sure knows how to make a statement with her feet; notice her black patent loafers. Kate in head-to-toe black in nothing new, but she ups the style ante with a double dose of shine and menswear charm. I wear my oxfords contrasted with a frilly dress, or torn up jeans, or you can do like Kate and don cropped pants for a sassy money look.

Trend Alert: Lofty Loafers

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:00:08 -0800

Zoom straight to the bottom half of Nicky Hilton's ensemble and check out her lofty loafers. These comfy yet curiously cool shoes have been redesigned for the hipster girl. I like how loafers give off a smart, Euro vibe; it must be that whole Johnny Depp thing. They go great with jeans, shorts, and even dresses. I actually own a pair and wear them with skinny jeans and a floaty top for a cute boho-meets-boy look.

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Pointed Toe Loafer Pumps

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I wasn't sure if the whole loafer trend was right for me, but I recently snagged a great deal on a pair at a thrift store. They're a beautiful camel color and surprisingly comfortable. Now, I have my eyes on these Yves Saint Laurent Loafer Pumps ($440). The sharp pointed toe gives them a sexy edge and the hidden platform front will keep my toes comfy all day long. Only problem with these babies is their price tag.

These Urban Outfitters Pour La Victoire Loafer Heels ($188) have the same stellar pointed toe and are much more reasonably priced. They don't come in black, but the brown would look nice with my earth-toned ensembles.

Look of the Day: Oxford Love

FabSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:01:22 -0700

I know lots of you are ahead of the fashion curve - you make me so proud. Daiane is already delving into a Fall footwear trend and is feeling the Oxford love. She's also experimenting with trousers and her monochrome look is unique and cool. Overall, lovely.

She didn't say what's what, so stop by and tell us!

Congrats to daiane!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Trend Alert: Sky-High Loafers

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Prim. Polished. Penny loafers? That's right, it's all about sky-high loafers. And why not? This elevated menswear trend has been updated to fit the needs of the modern-day woman: tailored, colorful, and presented in every hue and finish imaginable. No longer flat and definitely not dull!

The Look For Less: Chloe Loafer Mocassin

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 11:15:44 -0700

What I love about loafers is that though they are super comfortable, they give off this very put-together and classic vibe (see my red pair here). These Chloe Loafer Mocassins are on sale for $210 (originally $320), but they are still a tad pricey. And plus, why pay more when you can pay less?

Steve Madden has come out with these Nanccy Loafers, that are also on sale for $49 (originally $70). They have the same buckle detail and stitching. They aren't leather like the Chloe ones, but when you're paying less, you can't be too picky. I think they would look fab with a pair of railroad stripe cropped jeans!

Juicy Couture Wedge Loafer: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 07:33:28 -0800

I often find myself puzzled or appalled by Juicy Couture, but it's usually because the velour track suits and pom-pom-laden purses look better suited to preteens than grown women. This Juicy Couture Crepe Wedge Loafer, however, suffers from an entirely different problem. The stodgy brown leather, pebbled rubber, and old-school lacing make this shoe look more like something a grandmother would wear, minus the considerably high heel. It's hard to believe this is Juicy, but sure enough, you can buy the shoes for $275 here. What do you guys think about this style? Tell me if you love it or hate it?

Fall Shoe Trend: Loafer Pumps

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 09:43:37 -0700

These loafer pumps are fast becoming a classic and they are a fun twist on the traditional office pump and loafer. They are nice because they let you have a little style in buttoned-up work environments, although not quite fun enough for an evening out.

Here are some of my picks:

Marc by Marc Jacobs Slingback Loafer Pump, $378.95, Available here

Three more, so read more

Charles by Charles David Tribute, $141.95, Available here

Sesto Meucci Gaenor, $151.95, Available here

Franco Sarto Baffo, $92.95, Available here

Back to Cool: Blossom

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I always appreciated Blossom Russo's haphazardly cool style. With partner in crime Six, the two ruled the early '90s in their funky floral hats, vests, crazy prints, and cool loafers. I especially adored Blossom's knack for wearing oversize blazers and mismatched outfits. Indeed, Blossom was in her own fashion world - who would have thought her styling tricks are some of today's hottest trends? Fun fact: Blossom, aka Mayim Bialik, left Hollywood to get a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA. Double awesome.
