Look of the Day: Mod Nautical

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

I've tried the nautical look, I've tried the mod look, but I've yet to do the mod nautical combo. Fashionave921 exemplifies this look to perfection with her thigh-high gray tights, blue jumper, and yellow cardi. I'm smitten with her saltwater sandals, and her white belt cinches the whole look together.

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to fashionave921!

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

Looks of the Week!

FabSugar — Sun, 31 May 2009 10:15:22 -0700

This week's Look Book showed signs of Summer - bare legs, short skirts, sandals. My favorites are sassy in Sydney, bikini babe, casual cute, edgy glamor, statement necklace, and sail away. I've long missed the sailorette look, that's why femmeriots's outfit stood out from the bunch.

The Look For Less: J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Sailor pants are such fun. They're a quick and casual way to look nautical and fresh and what's not to love about those adorable buttons? These J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant ($217) are adorable but ahoy mate expensive! Let's see if we can find the look on the cheap . . .

These Delia's Quinn Low-Rise Sailor Flares ($40), are equally crisp and clean. The lightweight fabric is perfect for warm weather and I prefer the navy buttons over the brass anyway.

Dress Me Up: Come Sail Away

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

A pair of perfect navy blue sailor pants miraculously made their way into my life recently and have inspired me to bring out my inner sailor-ette, full force. The nautical trend has long been a part of fashion history - hello, Jean Paul Gaultier - but these perfect pants make me want to come sail away, and Shopbop's nautical selection is allowing me to do just that. Won't you join me on my proverbial ship by incorporating anchors, stripes (a la 3.1 Phillip Lim's resort line, left), and brass buttons into your closet? Is that an "aye aye Fab" I hear?!

Cheap & Chic: Nautical Navy & White

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:00:11 -0700

While Gabrielle Union's infectious smile draws me in, her nautical navy and white Laila Azhar dress keeps me there. The Summer season calls for sailing and sailing calls for a nautical outfit. Whether or not you partake in the water games, wear yourself a nautical navy and white ensemble because it's refined and refreshing. If a nighttime activity sounds more up your stream than daytime sailing, follow Gabrielle and pick a polished nautical outfit that will look appropriate on land, when the sun goes down.

eBay Find of the Week

This way cute Free People tank top reminds me of sunny days to come. The colorful array of stripes are adorable and the flare at the bottom is precious. And isn't it sort of Jonathan Sauders-esque?

The starting price is at a friendly $29.99 and the auction ends on Sunday, April 13. Good luck!

Trend Alert: Nautical Stripes

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 05:00:22 -0700

There comes a time in every trend's life when it's no longer a trend and thus forth a fashion staple. Nautical stripes reached that point hella long ago. When Coco Chanel first experimented with them they may have been seen as a flighting thing. But who doesn't want to channel feelings of the beach, the ocean, the waves? Looks like Vanessa Minnillo (in Sonia by Sonia Rykiel) and Coco have something in common - oh, and the rest of us lovers of fashion!
