We prepared you for the attack, and mini versions of It bags like the Chloe Paddington and Fendi B Bag are popping up and boy are they cute. Why is it that when something shrinks it just becomes that much cuter? Behold: handbag Shrinky Dinks!

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble. Her black cardi and bubble mini would be plain on their own, so she made sure to accessorize with fun elements. Her galactic scarf adds a burst of color, while Ray-Bans and tough See by Chloe boots inject a dose of badass. A yummy Chanel bag completes her rad look.

The Look For Less: Miu Miu Lambskin Studded Mini-Bag

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:30:08 -0700

Do you remember me swooning over this Miu Miu Studded Mini-Bag, ($716) a while back? Well, I'm still drooling over it. I'm totally into the hip drawstring and studs, but there's no way I can afford the super-hefty price tag - tear. However, where there's a will, there's a way . . .

My frown instantly turned upside down when I laid eyes on this Deux Lux Piper Drawstring Bag, ($140). It's not super cheap, but it's made out of buttery soft leather, and I'm sure those studs took a long time to adhere. Now that I've found the ultimate concert bag, there's no need to cry - score!

I Want This Wardrobe: Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Who remembers what Serena and Dan witnessed here? If you can't, it's probably because you were distracted by Serena's slick 'fit. Her beaded trim top tucked into black mini is flirty and flattering. She brought color into the mix with a hunter green cross-body bag and ultrahot blue-suede sandals. Kinda makes you yearn for a pair, huh?

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Derek Lam

FabSugar — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:27:44 -0700

Imagination. It's nice to see some imagination. Optimism. Fun. Stars. Derek Lam delivered a highly entertaining collection - you didn't know what to expect next. Carnival colors mixed with womanly separates, all with a '40s flair. Though lovely, this collection left me wondering one thing: where are the gowns? Lam chose to finish his runway lineup with several draped one-pieces. A few fun printed cocktail dresses graced the runway - it was all about legs, legs, legs. Americana-inspired, a star print stole the spotlight, as did as this gold hologram sequined blouse and skirt (looks like a dress, huh?). Teensy jackets, wrap skirts, and corseted dresses, in luxe suede and double crepe, will no doubt prove to be popular. Accessories were equally fun: star-shaped hoop Dean Harris earrings, wraparound belts (one model forgot hers), mini duffel bags, and safari sandals. Some may argue this collection was incoherent, I think that was the intention: unorganized glamour.

Jessica Stroup looks smashing in fancy frocks, but at an LA party last night, she proved that casual wear is also her thing. The actress exuded retro by tucking a white V-neck halter top into high-waisted, black mini shorts. To modernize the look, she adorned herself with gold accessories, and wore yellow flats, a tan bag, and an oatmeal cardigan. Cuteness.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: King Tut Exhibit at the de Young Museum

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, I headed to the exclusive King Tut exhibit at the de Young Museum here in SF - so exciting. I saw Tutankhamun's tomb, ancient artifacts, and precious objects relating to the 18th dynasty. Cool, huh? My educational self-immersion took a whole day, so I needed you to put together a sleek ensemble that would withstand a lot of walking and staring.

I started you off with these Giles & Brother Tiny Pyramid Stud Earrings ($78) because they're an ode to beautiful, ancient Egypt. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by chloe bella, complements the theme. That snake bracelet is slithery slick.
