Look! We're Giving Away a Goldenbleu Audra Candy Convertible Clutch

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

It may appear that we're giving away one bag, per usual, but really, we're giving away two: a clutch and a coin purse! The latest beauty up for grabs, this Goldenbleu Audra Candy Convertible Clutch ($650), is one of the most versatile we've offered because it can be carried on the shoulder with the chain link handle and as a clutch sans the handle. Plus, the coin purse can be detached and used on its own.

eBay Find of the Week

Ah, the quilted bag. It's so synonymous with Chanel and so expensive. That is unless you get a nondesigner version that you don't try to pass off as real. This Vintage Purple Leather Quilted Purse is the perfect example. It has Chanel qualities (chain straps, quilted leather) but it's not trying to act like it's really Chanel. Plus, the killer purple hue gives it a much-needed youthfulness!

The current bidding price is at $14.99 and the auction ends on Wednesday, May 28. Good luck and happy bidding!

The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs Quilted Mayfair Handbag

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I fell in lust with this Marc Jacobs Quilted Mayfair Handbag ($895) the moment I saw it. The classic quilting and gold chain handle are scrumptious but the price tag is a little more than what I want to eat.

This Forever 21 Quilted Metro Handbag ($20) evokes the same look for a fraction of MJ's price. The intertwining leather and chain is rad and the smaller size is perfect for a night out on the town. Radical.

The Bag To Have: Chanel Crocodile Quilted Chain Bags

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 10:30:33 -0700

Dear Chanel,

I walk into your store every time I'm in the neighborhood and every time I leave empty handed. Why, oh why, must you be so pricey? You know what? I don't blame you: you look gorgeous, you're classic and the epitome of sophistication and class.

Xo,

Fab

These Chanel Crocodile Quilted Chain Bags, $2,250-$3,850 (call (800) 550-0005 to order) are as yummy as candy and probably feel even yummier. I especially love the purple one because it's regal. Even though most of us can't afford even the chain handle of this bag, it's still eye candy. One day my friends, may we all walk out of a Chanel store with a bag in hand...

Tory Burch 'Ines' Quilted Ballet: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 09:10:22 -0700

Tory Burch has taken a turn for the pointy! Her 'Ines' Pointed Quilted Ballet, $250, is nothing like the Prima Riva Ballet Flats that have quickly developed a cult like following. I am really digging the Chanel-like quilting but am not a fan of the metal captoe. Are you?

The Bag to Have: Erva Chain Quilted Box Pouchette

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 12:50:33 -0700

When it comes to handbags, every gal should own at least one LBB (little black bag)! It's necessary for nights out when you don't feel like schlepping a humongous satchel. As long as it fits your lip gloss, ID and Blackberry, you're good to go.

This Erva Chain Quilted Box Pouchette, $340, is so attention-grabbing despite its mini size. The quilting reminds me of Chanel and the (detachable) chain strap is very Marc Jacobs. Wow, what a knockout combo. And the wooden clasp and the box shape are the cherries on top. What a wonderful little bag to have!

Quilted Vests for Crazy Weather

FabSugar — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 06:03:47 -0800

When the Fall weather is being fickle-shifting from tolerably chilly to bitterly cold in a matter of hours-a warm quilted vest is a great clothing item to have in your closet arsenal. You'll be surprised at how much warmth they provide by merely covering your torso, while also letting your arms (and your underarms) breath if the mercury climbs. They can look sporty or chic, depending on the style, and they're a great way to layer as Winter approaches. Here are some of my favorite puffy vests at both designer and non-designer prices.

Generra Down Vest, $136.50, available in two colors here.

Old Navy Chevron Striped Vest, $39.50, available in three color combinations here.

Juicy Couture Reversible Vest, $275, available here.

Delia's Sydney Vest, $58.50, available here.

Kenneth Cole Reaction Brown Quilted Down Faux-Fur Hooded Vest, $89, available here.

Lux Fur Trim Hooded Wool Vest, $68, available here.

Coffee Shop Faux Shearling Vest, $55, available here.

REI Radiance Down Vest, $49.83 to $79, available in three colors here.

Versace Quilted Sport Boot: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 15:00:22 -0700

Riddle me this: how can a designer create beauty one day and ugliness the next? You guessed it, Versace's Quilted Sport Boot, $900, is of the latter category. It looks like a hybrid between a ski and space boot; and that's not a good look here on Earth. What do you think?

I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat - genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties. I wish my former college ensembles were this hot . . .

Nanette Lepore gold floral brocade '24 Karat' double breasted coat - $369.00	Oscar de la Renta Metallic jacquard dress - $2,290.00
Alexandre Birman Python Peep-Toe Bootie - $595.00	Vivienne Westwood Bordeaux Soho Quilted Baguette Bag - $224.40
Twisted Bangle Set - $5.80	1 Carat Diamond Stud 14K Yellow Gold Earrings - $1,695.00
Marc By Marc Jacobs Fancy Fancy Pave Heart Ring - $78.00
