Trend Alert: Tan Bod, Tan Accessories

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

You know what I always say: If you've got it, flaunt it. Victoria Beckham definitely lives by this mantra, always showing off her teensy figure in pencil skirts and her enormous wealth with Hermes bags. She also flaunts her perfectly bronzed skin. Whether it's natural or fake, many a sun worshiper can't help but reveal their buttery skin this time of year - and what better way to show it off than with equally tan accessories. There you have it, tan bod, tan accessories. Here's another mantra to adhere to: Just say no to tanning salons!

Life's a Beach: So Fresh and So Clean

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

There really is only one season you can wear white, on the feet that is. In the Fall or Winter, white sandals just don't feel right. As always, you can prove me wrong. But you have to admit Heidi Montag's white Chanel flats are mighty cute, admittedly, so is the rest of her sleek outfit. Heidi knows how it feels to be so fresh and so clean; you may also recall the dope white Jimmy Choos she wore to the MTV Movie Awards. Enough about Heidi, white sandals provide a blank canvas for just about any look. It's so easy.

Trend Alert: Winter Yellow

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:00:22 -0800

Fab old-timers may recall that Winter yellow is not a new trend: Kylie Minogue brightened up last Winter with a chipper coat that we all loved. Well, we can all continue the love because yellow is not going anywhere. The happy hue even made its way onto the set of the Sex and the City movie - furry friend included. Blake Lively recently looked radiant in golden Michael Kors while Phillip Lim lightened up his Resort collection with a spritz. Want to wear something unexpected for New Years? Here's your chance . . .

Trend Alert: Twinkle Toes

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 06:00:22 -0800

Sequins have been gracing dresses and tops for months now. And yet, women just can't get enough of them. Considering I asked if you were over little sequin dresses almost six months ago and the response was mixed, it appears no end is in sight for the little circular piece of plastic and its shiny ways. The little dudes have popped up on shoes, naturally, and these twinkle toes aim to please.

Trend Alert: Plunging Shoes

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

Cleavage is sexy - no doubt. But then there's that other kind of cleavage, the not so obvious toe cleavage. If I do say so myself, I have a nice pair of feet, but I don't look to them to seduce...that is, unless I was wearing a pair of plunging shoes. The V is not reserved for necks anymore, the V has gone south. Whether the V leads to extreme or demure cleavage of the toe, these shoes are dramatic, attention-grabbing and, no doubt, sexy.

Style For Style: No More Visible Price Tags

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:00:22 -0800

I've come to learn that anything inappropriately visible is not pretty: VPLs, VBLs (Visible Bra Lines), and now VPTs (Visible Price Tags). When you have a gorgeous shoe, like this Report Signature Guada Suede T-Strap Pump ($195), you don't want a tacky price tag that's stuck on the inside sole to take away from its beauty.

To see how to get rid of annoying VPTs, read more

First, try to remove as much of the tag as possible.
Take a piece of paper towel and wet it with hot water.
Rub the wet paper towel against the sticky price tag until it's fairly moist.
Once the price tag is wet, rub the price tag off with your fingers - in back and forth motions. Price tag and goo should come off without any difficulty!

Look of the Day: Simply Blue

Lately I am just a dress freak! That's precisely why I love Girlygirl1129's simply blue ensemble. Her look is so minimal yet intriguing. I love the silk portion at the bottom of the dress and the nude sandals. It totally looks like something Nicole Richie would wear, no?

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Express
Shoes: Report Signature
Bag: Louis Vuitton
Bracelet: Anthropologie

Congrats to Girlygirl1129!
