Flip Flops For Your Final Fling

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:50:20 -0700

I actually live in flip flops year round, but even if you don't, you are still going to need a pair for your final weekend of Summer, which is coming up faster than you want to believe.

Here are a few for you to consider:

You really can't go wrong with a pair of Reefs. I have two pairs, both of which I have had since college. They have been literally everywhere with me over the past 10 years and they are good as new. Well, maybe not brand-new, but you get the idea. You can buy them here for $19.95

Three more, so read more

Another great option are Havaianas. They are super comfortable and come in all kinds of fun color options. I also have a pair of these and I love them. A little softer on your foot than the Reefs. I have not had them for ten years, so I can't attest to their longevity, but so far so good. Available here for $10.95.

For a daytime outing, not necessarily the beach, these Jack Rogers Navajo Sandals are everywhere this summer. Available here for $79.

and finally, I had to include these cute preppy flip flops from J.Crew. They are $22.50, but 20% off if you buy two pairs. Available here.

The Look For Less: Tibi Coral Reef Dress

I told you you should use this Tibi Coral Reef Dress ($389) if you want to channel the mix mastering of Dries Van Noten. It's a smart choice for gals who want to get in on the floral trend without looking like an overgrown child. That's because the black background adds a dark element. But what if you don't have that much to spare on achieving the look? There's an easy fix!

As soon as I laid eyes on this Delia's Victoria Floral Dress ($45), a Look for Less lightbulb went off in my head. It has the same black background, bright florals, and thus conveys the same look. It's slightly more poufy than the Tibi version, but considering florals are fun, it only adds to the effect. Throw on a pair of funky, bright sandals and your future will look floral!

Look Book Love: Seafolly, Summer '09

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Catherine McNeil never looked so good. Maybe it's because she's modeling Seafolly's Summer delights in her native Australia. Maybe it's the sharp-cut suits and breezy cover ups. Either way, it's a match made in Summer heaven. If the name sounds familiar, it's because many a celeb beach body has sported these sturdy yet stylish suits - babes Mila Kunis and Lauren Conrad to name a couple. Flip through for Summer swim inspiration, and if you must know (I did), this was shot at the Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef. Excuse me while I melt . . .
