Christian Lacroix Motorcycle-Style Boots: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 08:00:22 -0800

Leeluvfashion posted these Christian Lacroix Motorcycle-Style Boots, $1,295, in the Love It or Hate It? group. Merci!

I don't know what's more shocking; the fact that this overly-adorned shoe was made or that it costs nearly 2,000 dollars. It's just too shiny, too embellished, and too costly. Are you with me?

Like Rebecca Bloomwood, Fab reader a1stbornunicorn has attempted to make flannel feminine. Flannelrific! Good job belting the dress, and pairing it with a khaki blazer and brown motorcycle boots. The hues in this outfit also deserve praise.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Mossimo Supply Co.
Blazer: Gasoline
Boots: BCBG
Bag: Guess

Congrats to a1stbornunicorn!

FabSugar — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 15:55:22 -0800

I have always been weary of the shorts in the winter look. But, I may be have just been convinced otherwise with this shorts in the winter & proud look posted by sinplicit. I think her vintage tee, motorcycle boots, and easy going styling did the trick. Right on!

She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

Here's what she put together:

Graphic rocker tee: Target vintage
Cardigan: Ann Taylor
Pleated cuffed herringbone shorts: Old Navy
Black motorcycle boots: Banana Republic

What's even cooler, is how these are all preppy designers and this look is far from prep!

Congrats to sinplicit!

Fab Finding Follow Up: Chillin' at the Coffeehouse

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

You're taking some you-time at the local, arty coffeehouse, where you'll lounge, people-watch, sip a little espresso, and check out the scene. I asked you to think Audrey Hepburn's beatnik outfit in Funny Face, and show me how you'll make like the natives.

I started you off with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turn-Lock Continental Wallet ($168) because you'll need it to foot your coffee fix. Be sure to check out all the coffeehouse break Fab Finds.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab-Finding missions.

Look #1, created by WhiplashGirlchild, is definitely Audrey inspired with a modern twist. The turtleneck dress, tights, and beret all give off the beatnik vibe!

A Fabby Halloween: Heroin Chic

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:00:22 -0700

It was the mid-90s and Kate Moss was the face of Calvin Klein. She and model James King (the blonde pictured below) were the poster children for the waifish, drug-addicted look that is "heroin chic." Pale shiny skin, dark circles under the eyes, messy hair, black clothes, and an affected bored look were all over fashion magazines of the time. In fact, it became so prevalent that President Clinton felt the need to decry the fashion industry for glamorizing heroin.

Throwing together some scuffed-up motorcycle boots, ripped and holey tights, a little tank dress, and a pea coat - all in black -is easy as pie. Ring your eyes with red and smudgy black, keep the hair bedhead-y, and wear some long fingerless gloves to cover up those imaginary track marks. Make sure you don't forget your handy dandy tourniquet and ciggy case. Voila! You're fashion at its worst...or best, depending on who you talk to!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Cold-Weather Clubbing

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:48:20 -0800

It's easy to dress for a night of dancing when the weather is warm, but when it gets chilly, I'm not as keen to throw on my favorite skimpy party top. So before my night out with the girls on Friday, I asked you guys to come Fab Finding with me to put together a cold-weather clubbing outfit around this Bebe Crochet Cowl Neck Sweaters, available for $98 here. (In fact, one of my friends on Friday showed up wearing an almost identical look.)

I asked you all to find shoes, a bag, bottoms, and a coat. The results were by far some of my favorite Fab Finds in a long time. (To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.) Here are some of the best cold-weather clubbing looks.

Look #1, found by Atoxicsparkle, who built a killer outfit around a pair of gray Chloe boots and a Bebe pea coat to wear to the club then leave in the car "while freezing in line."

Look #2, found by Swwonder, who, like Atoxicsparkle, chose a dressy shorts ensemble, topped off by a TopShop motorcycle jacket and a cute pink clutch.

Look #3, found by PinkSparkleGrl, who went for a more rock-inspired look with a red-plaid coat and tall red boots and even threw in a fragrance.

Look #4, found by AudreyStar, who went for a more sophisticated look with Diane Von Furstenberg cropped pants, elegant jewelry, sparkly slingbacks, and a coat I featured earlier today!
