Fab Finding Follow-Up: Modern-Day Woodstock

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

In honor of Woodstock's 40th anniversary and the new movie Taking Woodstock, I asked you to pretend we're going to a modern-day version. The hippie vibe will remain, only updated. I suggested denim cutoffs, cool sandals, tie-dye, etc. The more flamboyant the better!

I started you off with these Juicy Couture Peace Sign Stud Earrings ($52) - the peace sign is retro but the studs are modern. You all created adorable outfits, I'm impressed.

Look #1, created by Brielle, is one I can wear to Woodstock and beyond. I must have that Nanette Lepore dress!

Juicy Couture Peace Sign Stud Earrings ($52)	Miu Miu Contrast Oversized Sunglasses
Deux Lux Messanger Backpack	Lucky Peace Link Bracelet
Nanette Lepore 'Flourished' Dress	Stuart Weitzman "Gladly"

Celebrity Style: America Ferrera

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 12:30:22 -0700

Each time I see America, she gets more and more gorgeous and glam. I have to give it up to the actress for looking so down to earth at MTV's TRL because so many stars dress tacky on the show. Her Zooey Peace Sign t-shirt is fashionable and philanthropic, and I love how her wide legs cover her shoes - raver style! I threw in a couple of silver accessories for a shiny finish.

Zooey "Peace Sign" T-Shirt - $85.00	Citizens of Humanity Faye Wide Leg Jean - $194.00
Soho Lab - Dishy (Black Suede Peep Toe) - $72.95	Kooba Natasha Silver Mirror Tote - $825.00

Simply Fab: Gold Saturn Peace Tanks

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Everyone's always preaching: Make love not war, but I love that Gold Saturn is saying, Make Clothes Not War! It shows designer David Jon Acosta's dedication for his craft. Not only is the slogan cheeky, so are his designs. And they're inexpensive! Other than the Make Clothes Not War Tunic ($35), there is a Prescription for Peace Tank ($35) and a Peace Hand Abstraction Deep V-Neck ($38). This way you can preach peace and look stylish while doing it.

Trend Alert: Peace, Love & Happiness

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 06:30:22 -0700

This year is the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. A time of youthquake, denim, free love and exploration; a time of American history. I have been noticing peace symbols on clothing and accessories lately, and while it may be temporary, I believe the idea of love, peace and happiness is always in Vogue. These KORS Michael Kors Danbury patent loafers, $165, were a recent purchase of mine and I can see myself wearing them for years and years, thus sprinkling a bit of peace, love and happiness wherever I may go.

Fab Celebrates Spring With Saks: Win a Bohemian Catherine Michiels Lotus Silk Tie Bracelet!

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:24:58 -0700

Psst. Here's a cool styling trick I use every Summer: wear bohemian baubles. Not only do they trick people into thinking that you've just returned from some exotic vacay, but these colorful, ethnic-inspired adornments are also my favorite way to spice up any ensemble. To achieve this look, I suggest choosing jewels with natural material such as beads or fabric fibers like this Turquoise Catherine Michiels Lotus Pendant Silk Tie ($110). Did you know the sculpted sterling silver lotus pendant is a symbol of peace and purity? Cool. Sign up for a chance to win it . . .

A Fabby Halloween: Betsey Johnson

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:00:22 -0700

A Fabby Halloween isn't complete without a tribute to Betsey Johnson. The designer is a spot-on reflection of her fun, retro-inspired designs. From her spunky fashions to her signature red lips, there's no doubt you'll have a ball being Betsey. Leave everything to the imagination. Show off your love for the '80s in a fluffy, bright dress and flirty heels. If dresses aren't your thing, grab some crazy leggings and pair them with a tunic and a big belt. Remember to tousle and braid your blond wig. Starting practicing your cartwheels. Flash those peace signs. Whew! No wonder Betsey stays in such good shape.

FabSugar — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 07:18:01 -0800

Hello disco! While I usually enjoy Rachel Pally's designs, and I love the sleek look of a jumpsuit - it can be so Studio 54 chic - there is something off about this Rachel Pally Halter Jumpsuit, $198. All this model needs is an afro and a big peace sign necklace and she could have stepped out of a Sly and The Family Stone concert. What do you think? Love or hate?
