March Shopping Madness! Crop Those Pants

FabSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 06:00:22 PDT

Denim, khaki, linen, twill - no matter the fabric, crop those pants. Long bottoms have their place, but short ones feel especially modern at the moment. To achieve the look, you can either cuff your long pants, cut them, or buy them 'ready cropped.

This Victoria's Secret Chambray Cargo Crop Pant ($50) screams fresh. The pockets lend utilitarian chic, while the drawstring ankles give the ability to make them as fitted or loose as desired.

March Shopping Madness! Icy Lavender

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 05:00:22 PDT

It's time to embrace your feminine side this Spring with icy lavender. This cool hue will instantly electrify a pair of dark denim jeans or even soften a nude palette. Picture these decadent Christian Louboutin Turbella Sandals ($995) paired with a body con LBD for maximum contrast. Hey, a girl can always dream, right?

March Shopping Madness! Get Trenched

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:00:22 PDT

Getting trenched doesn't have to be a boring affair. Au contraire. With the exciting array of trench coats available right now, there's no excuse for not owning a Fab one. Short, long, colored, neutral, solid, patterned, there's a trench with your name written all over it. Right now, I hear this white Kenneth Cole New York Wispy Cotton Trench ($198) calling my name . . . .

March Shopping Madness! Surfer Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:00:22 PDT

Whether you're a part of the surf culture, or just like to admire the boys, there is no look cooler than the beachy, fun-loving surfer girl. She can both ride epic waves and look hot while doing it. Clothes that look fresh and serve a function are key. A few things every surfer girl has oodles of: bikinis, board shorts, sundresses, sunnies, and sunscreen. Adopt this look with a spiritual approach; let your hair go au naturel, ditch heavy makeup, and just be beautiful babe and the sea.

March Shopping Madness! Jump Into a Jumpsuit

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

'Fess up - how many of you have jumped into a jumpsuit already? I have and it feels so nice. I understand, it's hard to embrace such a risky trend, but it's all about finding the one that suits your body type and style personality. A dark-colored jumpsuit is best for timid girls, but sassy chicks should get this ADAM by Adam Lippes Wrap Silk Jersey Jumpshorts ($345). Either way, there's no denying the power of the jumpsuit, so jump into one.

March Shopping Madness! Decadent Draping

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:00:22 PDT

When I feel like channeling my inner goddess, I look for clothes with decadent draping. This ode to Grecian beauty is all about soft textiles wrapped, folded, and pleated into beautiful cuts. Take for example this Elizabeth and James Drape Skirt ($295). The smokey lilac hue and fluid swoop are simultaneously modern yet magical; the thick black banded waist adds sporty chic. Quite the perfect Spring skirt . . .

March Shopping Madness! Candy-Colored Metallics

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:00:22 PDT

Metallics, metallics. Been there, done that. Don't let me be misunderstood, j'adore the flash and fun of metallics, but life must go on. Fashion must evolve. And so, candy-colored metallics have emerged. Femme rose gold, glam purple, striking green, and cool blue are the new metallic hues. Come Fall it's going to be a full-on candy store so get a grip on this trend while it's cool - before it's hot.

March Shopping Madness! Tan Sands

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:00:22 PDT

You have to admit Lauren's little outfit here is pretty Fab. Here's the rundown: Alice + Olivia sateen rolled sleeve blazer, Jennifer Zeuner swirly initial necklace, Chanel bag. But, what is the key accessory that makes this look stand out? Duh - those awesome tan Miu Miu double cross platform sandals. The hard/soft mix of black and tan is ideal for transitional times. Stow those black sandals away and sink into tan sands.

March Shopping Madness! Stones in the Rough

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:00:22 PDT

Polished gems are fine and dandy, but there's something about rough stones that give off a cool, ethereal aura. These little - or large - nuggets look 100 percent organic and provide stunning contrast against tailored ensembles. This wondrous Roberto Cavalli Stone Ring ($390) has me swooning for days. It has not one, but two matte, rough-cut stones. Rough perfection.

March Shopping Madness! Mixmaster

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:00:22 PDT

There any many ways to approach mixmastering. You can experiment with offbeat color combinations - my obsession is navy and bright orange right now. You can mix prints: ethnic and stripes, dots and flowers, colorblock and metallics. You can dabble with silhouettes, a long trench with short shorts sounds really fun. Really, it's all about the mix and having fun. Peep Topshop's Spring lineup for inspiration. I've assembled a mass of some of my current favorites, some funky, all fun. Want a fresh closet without spending a dime? Try conquering being a mixmaster and play with unlikely pairings. You just might see fashion - and life - in a whole new light.
