Life's a Beach: Clutches See the Light of Day

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I have a friend whose husband strictly associates clutches with evening events. That once held true. It's time to let your clutches see the light of day.

There isn't a big difference between nighttime and daytime clutches, except what you wear with. Take a fancy beaded clutch to an afternoon tea party but wear it with a casual outfit to balance the look. Or, grab an oversized clutch in a fun color, print, or sparkles like Eva Mendes. As long as you can fit all your girlie necessities into a clutch, it's fit to be a daytime companion!

Fab Finds of the Week: Sizzlin' Hot Frocks

FabSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I hope you remembered to shave your legs because this week's Fab finds were filled with stem baring dresses. I don't blame you for all the sizzlin' hot frocks, after all, isn't that why we love the hot hot heat?

The Fab Finder of the week is velizabethb, because she found this ethereal 70's inspired Jovovich-Hawk Elisa Mini Dress. The white, flowy, accordion layers make me want to melt into the sky.

March Shopping Madness: Ruffle Me Up

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Kate Bosworth understands the power of ruffles. The Chanel-clad actress recently looked like she walked straight off the catwalk and onto the red carpet. She kept hers controlled, but you can go as wild with your ruffles as you wish. The wonderful thing about ruffles is that they look good on just about anything: prints, solids, maxis, minis. If too much girliness is a turn-off, mix it up with tough accessories. Rough or refined, I say ruffle me up.

Trend Alert: Black Stovepipe Pants

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

It is only fair to provide you with the other side of the coin. In fashion, there is almost always a flip side - variety is the spice of life. No matter what the overarching seasonal trends are, there's something for everyone in the wonderful world of fashion. (Fashion bliss moment of silence.) So, the other day I showed you high waisted trouser options and for those of you not feeling them, try a pair of black stovepipe pants on for size. They don't call them "stovepipe" for nothing; these are slimming, chic and classic. Leggings have morphed into these bad boys, that work best with belted volume on top for a sleek hourglass silhouette. I swing both ways, like I said, there's something for everyone.

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

Who tuned in for The Hills Season 3 premiere last night? While LC may need to control her opinions, she still looks fine. Take this gunmetal gray origami folded bodice dress and perfectly paired patent Mary Jane ensemble. Though the colors are cool, she still looks her prim and proper self. Opinions aside, this is one excellent look.

Found! Kim Kardashian's Mint Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 10:00:22 -0700

Kim Kardashian wore this lovely Mint Artsy Yoke Dress, on sale for $290 (originally $385) to the recent Sicko premiere in LA. I'm so used to seeing Kim in skin-tight getups that it's a bit weird to find her in something so loose and demure. Nevertheless, the multicolored dress is very girly and would look great for both day or night.

Designer Spotlight: MINT Jodi Arnold

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 09:15:33 -0700

MINT designer Jodi Arnold's love of sewing and design was so strong, it uprooted her from her cozy home in Birmingham, Alabama to the bustling streets of New York City. In 1999, Jodi made her dream a reality over a cup of tea in Paris, where she conceived the brand, MINT Jodi Arnold (Think she was sipping on mint tea?!) Since then, the designer has received the prestigious Innovators Award from the Cotton Council of America for her elegant and modern clothing with finishing techniques unique to vintage couture garments.

Lucky for us, Pink Mascara is currently having a sale on MINT Jodi Arnold items!
