Designer Spotlight: Rachel Comey

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 07:50:33 -0700

I've had a mini-crush on Rachel Comey for some time now - especially after making eye contact with these dual-tone flats. But designer Rachel Comey lends her expertise to more than just lustworthy shoes: she could outfit you from top to bottom if you wanted. She started out with a job at Theory, then she broke off and made menswear - (David Bowie was a fan). Finally, she's come to her senses and made something for the ladies.; I love her vintage-inspired aesthetic!

A few pieces from the Spring collection are on sale at Refinery29Shops, $125-$244.

After a long stint in New York, about a year ago I headed out West with the rest of the warm weather seeking migrants. I actually landed back in my home state, but for six years my shopping life in New York flourished. Though it may be safer for me to not have NYC's awesome shops at my fingertips, I miss them. For those of you not already familiar with Refinery29 here is a website where you can get a glimpse into the downtown good life of NYC. This is the ultimate indie fashion site known for having a brilliant eye for design, the inside track on new cool music, and real and untouched street style and city guides. Now I can relive my NYC days with Refinery29 Shops! They have partnered with NYC designers and shops to bring those hard-to-find goods to me, oh, and you of course.

They have thoroughly modern merch for women, men, kids and home. I like the Style Sheet section where you can learn about a person in fashion, whether a designer or editor, and see their picks from the store. As for the goods, check out indie rockers like Alexander Wang, Lipstick Queen, Acne Jeans, Steve Alan (love!), Daryl K, Clu, A.P.C. and more.

Society for Rational Dress Cinch Dress in Sand, on sale for $98 (originally $228). This is a sweet and classic little Summer dress, that would look great over a slim or cropped pair of jeans or bermuda shorts even. Or sans anything underneath and as a teeny weeny dress. Ah, memories of humid sticky NYC summers!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Broadway Baby

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:02:19 -0800

With all of the craziness of New York Fashion Week, it's easy to overlook all of the great things about New York City. Of course there are the landmarks, the fashion, and the food, but who can forget the top notch entertainment? As such, I'm going to carve out some time to see a Broadway show.

I'll start you off with this Banana Republic Bib Necklace ($58) because it can jazz up any outfit, and the color is perfect for February. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Broadway Baby.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab-Finding missions.

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:00:22 -0800

New York Fashion Week is about the shows, for sure, but then there are the parties . . . celebrating design collaborations, new books, and the collections, of course! Imagine that you are going to a big after-party with a sea of fashion people: What would you wear?

I'll start you off with this Suzi Roher Stretch Swarovski Belt ($463) because you can dress it up or down. Come back and tell me your when Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Fashion Week party.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Calling All Sugar Extras!

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

A few of the Sugar girls are going to be extras in Milk, the '70s-themed biopic with Sean Penn, James Franco, and Diego Luna! Since the film is retro and set in the '70s, they have some strict wardrobe restrictions.

The costume designer is asking for nothing too costumey and nothing with a visible brand name: their clothes have to look authentic, so no materials or denim that looks too modern. Think simple flare or straight leg jeans, corduroy, suede, wool sweaters, fringe, and leather boots, and help them put together a film-worthy look.

I'll start you off with this Urban Outfitters Nubby Striped Scarf with Lurex ($18) because it adds a little flair. Come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Sugar extras.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Intern Interview

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:00:22 -0800

You're meeting with a magazine editor about taking a possible internship at her company (nice!). Originally, you were supposed to grab some coffee with her, but now she switched things up on you and wants you to meet her at her office.

You've got to pull something together that looks professional and gives a perfect first impression - you want her to know you've got style!

I'll start you off with these Urban Outfitters Etched Glass Drops ($24) because they are cool and full of personality. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them intern interview.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab-Finding missions.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Chillin' at the Coffeehouse

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

You're taking some you-time at the local, arty coffeehouse, where you'll lounge, people-watch, sip a little espresso, and check out the scene. Think Audrey Hepburn's beatnik outfit in Funny Face, and show me how you'll make like the natives.

I'll start you off with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turn-Lock Continental Wallet ($168) because you'll need it to foot your coffee fix. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them coffeehouse break.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Presenting to the Big Boss

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes we have to buck up and present to the big guys at the office.

No one wants to commit a travesty quite like the prom dress Whitney wore while presenting to Teen Vogue editor Amy Astley on The Hills, so help put together a sophisticated, office-appropriate ensemble. That way, you can wow 'em with your words, your work, and your looks.

I'll start you off with this Cartier Small Tank Solo Steel Watch ($2,100) because it's always chic and will keep you on time for the meeting. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them big presentation.
