FabSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:00:22 -0800

When you give her the choice between staying in and going out, she always chooses staying in. But no matter. She's the perfect date for when you feel like curling up to watch a good movie. The Homebody: She lives for things like comfy yoga pants and cozy cashmere slippers - perfect for putting the brakes on life and taking some time to stop and smell the roses.

Fab Gift Guide: The BFF

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 07:00:22 -0800

How many BFFs do you have? How many do you really have? I'm not talking about flighting friendships. I'm talking about a person who knows what you're thinking, laughs at your most private jokes and will have a late night dance session with you in your apartment at 3:00 AM. So again, how many BFFs do you have? When you decide, be sure to get them something that could only come from you, and from the heart.

Online Sale Alert! Thanksgiving Sale at Revolve Clothing

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:00:22 -0800

Just in time for the holiday that finds us all trying to squeeze into our clothes after a very large meal, Revolve Clothing is having a Thanksgiving Sale! The online boutique boasts of knocking 30–75 percent off of over 4,000 items, including pieces from Black Halo, Mike & Chris, Primp, and Tory Burch.

I waded through the madness to find myself a gem: this Gryphon The Lady Coat ($286, originally $572). The shape is very elegant - it's perfect to wear to a holiday party, and the waist makes for a figure-flattering cinched look.

Fab's November Most Wanted

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 05:00:22 -0700

Always the optimist, I get super excited when November rolls around. We're on the verge of Winter and the holidays are right around the corner. That may elicit anxiety for some but don't fret my pet - November will be chock full of Fab Gift Guides, online sale alerts and fabulous fashions to help keep our heads on straight and our chins up high. Let's begin the harvest with this month's desideratum...

I am a Primp junkie when the days get shorter and colder so this Primp
Ribbon Extra Long Crew Thermal ($92) is the perfect addition to my collection.
How can this skirt already be on sale?! I'll let this flirty fun Tracy Reese Print Silk Full Skirt (on sale for $159, originally $375) speak for itself.
When I was in LA for LA fashion week this Anya Hindmarch Lautner patent leather bag ($945) stopped me in my tracks on Robertson Blvd. It is even more brilliant in person.
How adorable would this Tibi Cap Sleeve Wool Shift Dress ($334) be with a beret and peep toe pumps for Thanksgiving dinner?
These puppies are already in the mail on their way to Fab! New Years shoes? Check! Theory Mirrored Crisscross Slingback Sandals (on sale for $199, originally $345).

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.

The Look for Less: Primp Anchor Thermal

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:03:33 -0700

We love Primp just as much as the next girl. And nautical-inspired gear is still ashore so jump on this boat before the trend sinks. Although this Primp Anchor Thermal, $80, makes for fun fashion, paying over $30 for a thermal doesn't make complete sense. Especially since this is such a trendy item that's here today and will surely be gone tomorrow.

This Knit Anchor Tank, $9, is much more worth your money than Primp's version because it's more Spring friendly. Plus, it's really long so paired with dark skinny jeans and a pair of flats, it can look tres adorable. And, it's less than $10 so should the nautical craze be over as soon as you receive it in the mail, you won't feel so bad!

Hip Hoodie Hooray!

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 10:55:43 -0800

Lazy Sunday favorite, the hoodie, has gotten a makeover. As featured in Life & Style magazine this week, your ordinary snuggly hoodie has been jazzed up with fun prints. The celebs love them and so do we! Check out my co-worker in her Primp red with blue anchors vest hoodie. I have too many hoodies myself, but here are some picks from the new school of hoodie.

Primp For Breast Cancer Awareness

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:28:26 -0700

I already told you about the stunning Robyn Rhodes jewelry being sold to benefit breast cancer awareness. Now, the designer t-shirt label Primp (beloved by Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson) has created a line of comfy tops for the cause, complete with a pink-ribbon print and rhinestone detailing. Better yet, Primp and Shopbop (the tees' exclusive retailer) are donating a whopping 50 percent of the proceeds to the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization.

The shirts went on sale today and are available throughout October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You can buy them here; the short-sleeved tshirt sells for $68 and the long-sleeved thermal costs $75.

Summer Sale Roundup!

Community Manager — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 01:26:22 -0700

One of my favorite things about the middle of July is all of the awesome sales that occur, both online and off. Summer isn't even half way over and the stores are already clearing their summer lines, just in time for my annual August vacation!

The four best sales going on right now are:

The Banana Republic Summer Sale happening now online and in-stores. BR switched to the semi-annual sale model about three years ago and it was an instant success. The deals you can find here are incredible, up to 60% off!
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started last week and runs through July 30. The cool thing about this sale is it is actually brand-spanking-new Fall merchandise instead of mid-summer leftovers! I actually hold a special place in my heart for this sale because my mom and I used to get up at the crack of dawn on the first day of the sale in order to be the very first people at the store. Now, thanks to the Internet, you can shop the sale online from the comfort of your couch. Much better than that 4am wake-up call.
The Bergdorf Goodman Sale. Tons of stuff from top designers like Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor and Nanette Lapore for up to 65% off!
The online sale at Shop Intuition. Again, thanks to the fabulousness of the Internet, we can take advantage of the summer sale at one of LA's hottest boutiques from anywhere in the world. Lots of great stuff still available, including this adorable Primp Bunny Zip-Up Hoodie that all the IT girls were wearing this season.
