Look of the Day: Pretty and Preppy

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:50:00 -0700

The melding of pretty and preppy has rarely looked so good as it does on twinklydust. Not only am I crazy over her rolled-up khakis, ruffle blouse, and lace-up sandals, but I also adore the mild yet stunning colors. Good job, girl!

Here's what she has on:
Top: J.Crew
Pants: J.Crew
Shoes: Dolce Vita

Congrats to twinklydust!

Fab Gift Guide: Gossip Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 03:00:08 -0800

I bet you have a friend or family member who's obsessed with Gossip Girl. I figured. This wannabe Blair Waldorf wishes she had the characters' lives, but since that's unlikely, their stuff will have to do.

This Hat Attack Wool Beret with Leather Bow ($45) will appeal to any preppy-chic girl in your life. It will make her feel like she's in NYC's Upper East Side, even in her bedroom. Fabulous.

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Claudia Schiffer walked her little girl Clementine to school, but she looked more like the student in her preppy-chic outfit. At first glance, the silk scarf and grey blazer can seem stuffy, but her J Brand Lovestory jeans, oversized sunnies, and patent Mulberry Bayswater bag ease it up a bit. Maybe it's because I watched Gossip Girl last night, but doesn't she look like a grownup, more kick-back version of Blair Waldorf?

Lizzie Blazer - $39.99	Stripe Knit Tee - $8.80
Stripe Silk Twill Scarf - $198.00	J Brand 22" Lovestory Bell Bottom Jeans - 72201 in Lapis - $179.00
Linea Paolo 'Lizi' Flat - $99.95	Sharkskin Tweed Satchel - $64.00
Oversize Rounded Sunglasses - $38.00

Preppy meets cool at Rugby.com. Offspring of Ralph Lauren, Rugby.com offers a laid-back approach to preppy style. Classic (and sometimes stuffy) Ivy League staples are given an overhaul with bright colors and updated cuts. You can find an array of retailored polos, knits, sweaters, oxfords, chinos, denim, and, of course, rugby shirts that won't bore you. My favorite is the madras patchwork blazer - quite Fabtastic.

2010 Spring: J.Crew

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:30:22 -0700

A kid in a candy store. J.Crew recently presented its Spring confections and I'm salivating already. Jenna Lyons played upon the usual frilly vs. preppy aesthetic, with loads of neutrals and pops of neon. Khaki outerwear atop sequins and cargo shorts are meshed with girlie stripes and soft plaids. Styling is exaggerated - I don't mind, better to inspire. Who else can pull off camo and ruffles? Sandals range from preppy to exotic, and jewelry plays a pretty role. J.Crew even tries its hand at the pantless trend, successfully. Hats and cross-body bags complete the disheveled-chic aesthetic.
