Dress Me Up: Roller Fab

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I have taken up a new hobby: roller skating! Not too long ago I asked your help in finding a sexy, cute rollerskating outfit for a roller disco party I went to. You did, and here is Roller Fab! With super sore thighs the next day, I went and bought some skates because I was so inspired (the ones I wore were actually YumSugar's!). My fresh skates are white with purple wheels and laces - Fab, no? Shopbop's Retro Fever section got the disco ball and thus the wheels turning for me again, and I couldn't refuse putting together an even more glam roller look.

Last weekend I skated my heart out at a roller-disco party. It was so fun! And no, I didn't fall! Not once. I asked you to help me find a retro-cute look along the lines of bold colors, sequins, and skin. Thanks to you, I was the sweetest rockin' diva there.

I started you off with these American Apparel Stripe Knee-High Socks ($10) because they were oh so 70s.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is divinely diva. The denim romper is adorable and I love the handy fanny pack!

FABTV: De La Soul "Roller Skating Jam"

FabSugar — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 11:00:22 -0800

If you've been searching your whole life for a song to roller skate too, find salvation in De La Soul's tribute to the retro sport on wheels. Personally, I hate roller skating. Ok, ok, it's because I suck at it. But I'll take roller skating over ice skating because I have a morbid fear of falling on ice. Anywho, this jam has everything you need to get pumped for a good roller adventure: folks having fun, bright early '90s hip-hop style, and an all-around happy vibe - not to mention some fierce roller moves. I'll stay on the sidelines, but I always love me some fun-loving De La Soul.

P.S. I'm one of those roller snobs who thinks that wheels are way cooler than blades. But if you blade, check out Fit's bits all about it.

Fab Finds of the Week: Hot Shorts

FabSugar — Mon, 26 May 2008 10:00:22 -0700

As the weather heats up, so do the Fabbies! It wasn't surprising to see a grab bag of hot shorts in this week's Fab finds, after all, when the sun is shining, the legs come out and play.

The Fab Finder of the week is gabitaitalia, because she found this awesome pair of funky Bullhead Purple Shorts. I can already picture myself roller skating in these!

Travel Alert! Super Fly Suitcases

DearSugar — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 11:08:00 -0700

While we are on the subject of travel, we thought we would do some research on some fashionable luggage options. Duffel bags are great because they are expandable and can fit more, but they always wind up breaking your back and chafing your neck when traveling. Ratty old valises are well made, but without wheels you are forced to pack light which is something that is just not always possible. Here’s a solution; why not get a fashionable and cool roller suitcase? Not only will you be able to spot any of these on the baggage carousel, you will walk around the airport looking internationally stylish! Here are a few ways to travel like the jet setters do:

1. Diane Von Furstenberg Metallic Signature Luggage Set . Hurry up - it's on sale now from $299 to $780. I love that you can buy an entire matching set - it's like a luggage outfit! These pieces look cool and they are very sturdy. They are made out of poly, cotton and metallic fibers, and are available in pewter and bronze. The inside is lined with the DVF logo and it's water resistant.

Two more fabulous options, so read more

2. You can buy this canvas with leather trim California Roller Suitcase here at ShopIntuition.com for $325. It has sturdy in-line skate wheels, a handle that collapses, three pockets and two body zippers. Oh, and the lining is satin! It's available in pink and blue, and it comes with a lock. 15" w x 22" h x 10" deep.

3. Ok, so maybe it's not the most FABulous looking piece out of the group, but this is Tumi'sT3 Ducati Base Transporter 20" Expandable Wheeled Carry On. It sell for $495. Once you've gone, TUMI, you'll never go back - it's the leading international brand of luxury and business travel - and just the name Ducati attached to it turns me on!

Tumi's pieces are made from unbelievable sturdy materials, equal to what the army uses for for bullet proofing (hence their hefty prices). This particular piece also includes an ergonomically designed handle, wheels with solid steel axles and dual sealed bearings, retractable handle with a pivoting handle grip, protective corner guards, a lined, two inch expandable main compartment and two accessory pockets.
