Fab Redux: So Fresh

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

There's been a lot of necklace talk in the fashionsphere so I say, why wait for Fall, jump on the fun trend now. I love long necklaces for a variety of reasons: they're sophisticated, fun, and can be worn multiple ways. Take this 1950s extra-long necklace ($39) with goldtone chain and white glass beads. Drape it over anything and it adds instant glamour. Or, wrap it around multiple times for a dense choker. Gold and white never looked so fresh.

Forever 21 Recycle Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

This Forever 21 Recycle Necklace ($9), is rather cute and Earth Day conscious. It's a perfect way to look fashionably aware and lets everyone know you're down with Mother Earth. Do you think it's cool to sport the recycling symbol or is it kinda ugly?

Fab Finger Discount: Lee Angel Woven Pendant Necklace

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:30:22 -0700

Ever since I lost a few costume jewelry necklaces during my move (tear), I've been itching to replace them with equally stunning finds. Lee Angel's 'Astrid' Woven Pendant Necklace ($81, originally $135) appeals to me because of its regal colors. It could dazzle any simple white tank in a nanosecond!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Broadway Baby

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:02:19 -0800

With all of the craziness of New York Fashion Week, it's easy to overlook all of the great things about New York City. Of course there are the landmarks, the fashion, and the food, but who can forget the top notch entertainment? As such, I'm going to carve out some time to see a Broadway show.

I'll start you off with this Banana Republic Bib Necklace ($58) because it can jazz up any outfit, and the color is perfect for February. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Broadway Baby.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, 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.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Sad But True, A Funeral

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Funerals are never planned, but we all end up attending one sooner or later. I always find choosing the appropriate thing to wear a difficult task - you have to balance subtle with chic, and even err on the conservative side.

Last week I asked what to wear if you found yourself attending a funeral this Fall. I started you off with this Lanvin Pearls & Satin Necklace, $450, because it's understatedly chic - just make sure you put the bow in the back! To see all the Fall funeral Fab Finds, go here.

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 leeluvfashion is so sophisticated. All the pieces have clean lines and that MJ bag is hands down amazing!

Look #2, created by aimeeb is a good pants option. This outfit is easy to throw on when you're in a time crunch, but the outcome is fashionably occasion appropriate.

Look #3, created by artiksun is tradition-inspired. Some prefer to cover their head for funerals, and this veil is a cute option. She also threw in a box of Kleenex - just in case.

Fab Finds of the Week: Glitter Critters!

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 10:04:33 -0700

I see there are some animal loving fashionistas out there! At least, that's what your Fab Finds this week say to me. And snakes! You like snakes! (Maybe not real snakes, but in the jewelry form, anyway). The first time I showed you all snakes, it wasn't received very well - but you all have proven otherwise this time!

The Fab Finder of the week is cocca, who found a fabulous snake-loving snakeskin cuff! Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!

Lisa Kline Gold Mudflap Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 23 May 2007 09:40:33 -0700

The iconic Lisa Kline logo has gone bling bling. White Trash Charms's Gold Vermeil Mudflap Mini Necklace for Lisa Kline, $88, is a tad too ghetto-fabulous for my taste. I imagine a rough and tough girl wearing it while riding shotgun in her boyfriend's 18-wheeler. I prefer to wear simple jewels and take public transportation. Do you agree?

Citrine by Stones Willow Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 09:02:22 -0700

I love accentuating a simple look with an interesting necklace every now and then, but I would never consider sporting this Citrine by the Stones Willow Necklace, $205. It's just too abstract for my taste. The triple links look like an arts 'n crafts project done by grade-schoolers. Would you wear it?

Dabby Reid Three Strand Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 06:03:33 -0700

Jewelry is the perfect way to spice up a drab outfit, but sometimes, it can make things worse. I think this Dabby Reid Three Strand Necklace, $130, is one of those examples of bling gone bad. It just looks outdated - I think it's the glowing crystals that throw things off. What do you think?

Simply Fab: Louis Vuitton Costume Jewelry Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 01 May 2007 15:38:02 -0700

If you haven't already, you must check out Louis Vuitton's Costume Jewelry Collection! It is sweet, girly and so much fun! Looks like Cnyc1a is a fan too! The baubles, sold exclusively at eluxury, are perfect for gals who don't take their fashion too seriously. My fave is this Sweet Monogram Broche, $290. It would be so darling on a yellow cropped cardigan, no?

Hurry though because they are selling out really quickly. The Bubble Earrings were available this morning and now they are sold out.
