Beau Soleil Pouch: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:00:22 -0700

I'm all about recycling and saving the planet but do you think the trend has churned it's way into becoming a profit-making machine? Take for instance, this Beau Soleil Canvas Pouch ($18). The description doesn't mention anything about it being green and though it's not expensive, do you think it's a sham?

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 00:53:14 -0700

Whether you're going back to the beach or back to school, a cute tote bag is a must. And a reversible tote bag? That's like getting two bags for the price of one!

Designer Sheila Djiwatampu, after training in Indonesia and Switzerland, has taken the plunge and hung out her own shingle. Her website, Sheila D, showcases these functional and fashion-forward totes, school bags, and pouches. You can buy them here for just $28. So get one for your remaining beach days, then when summer's over, just toss it in the laundry, turn it inside out, and take it back to school.

If you heart studs, you'll find mixed metals even more irresistible. These haphazardly placed nuggets take on a less-severe tone and make for a perfect statement piece. Case in point: this Miu Miu Studded Leather Pouch ($832). Sizzle.

Fab Tip: Keep Your Jewels Travel-Friendly

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:00:22 -0700

It's so nice to escape the mundaneness of life by taking a vacation. But, sometimes, that's no easy feat. Besides having to book plane tickets, hotels, and figure out activities, we women have to figure out how to take our clothes and accessories there in one piece. Honestly, my main fear after traveling is finding my jewels - like these Amrita Singh Coral Chandelier Earrings ($92) - all tangled up. Gasp! Sound familiar? If so, it's time to prevent it from happening again. P.S. I always recommend you carry your jewelry in your carry-on; I've had jewelry I checked stolen out of my suitcase before, true story.

To learn how to make your jewels travel-friendly, read more

What better way to compartmentalize your jewelry than with the king of compartmentalization, a 7-day pill box? But not just any old pill box. Check out this lively Med Sun 7 Day Pill Box Organizer ($4). It's inexpensive, bold, and will ensure that all your small to medium-sized jewels stay in their place. Plus, you can decide which pieces you'll wear on which day and put them in their slots accordingly. If you're scared of scratches, I recommend putting each piece in a small pouch then putting it in the slot.
