Big Buddha "Garden" Satchel: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 12 May 2007 12:22:22 PDT

I really adore the floral trend because it's so light hearted. But, for some reason this Big Buddha "Garden" Satchel, $280, is not sitting well with me. I feel like it's a bad imitation of Gucci's floral-print Peggy Top Handle Bag, $1,450. It looks like a big bouquet of all sorts of flowers, and I wouldn't want to be carrying a floral arrangement with me everywhere. I don't mind the shape so much; I think it's just the array of colors. What do you all think?

Winter Mood: Fashion-Week Minded

Hannah Weil — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:30:03 PST

It's pretty palpable here in NYC, talks have turned to the onslaught of street style and Fall New York Fashion Week. Our thoughts are likewise consumed with what the following few weeks will bring - street style that's teeming with covetable accessories (hello, Phillip Lim!) and snaps of our favorite style setters, like the always on-point Taylor Tomasi Hill. From there, it's on to what we'll be wearing, like Tom Binns gorgeous statement jewels and a luxe anorak. As for accessories, we couldn't help but tune into the Oscar buzz and channel our love of Marilyn (and the lovely Michelle Williams) with a nod to the glamazon's red lip and quintessential shades.

Marisa Tom — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:23:27 PST

Winter dressing calls for chunky sweaters, lots of layers, and super-functional boots. But don't let your personal style get lost amongst the cold. We think a bold arm-candy statement is a seriously simple way to spruce up your cold-weather attire. Try a playful Marni PVC purse, a subtly sexy exotic-print Victoria Horning satchel, a neon-infused DVF duffel, or a snakeskin-detailed Zara tote on for size. These accessories are standalone pieces that defy dreary skies and chilly temps, so click through to see our editors' picks and shop your favorites.

Look of the Day: Neon and Neutrals

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:00:50 PST

Fab reader Pearlsandgreentea showcased the powerful effect of a cool and colorful accessory. Her casual ensemble - comprised of a beige knit sweater, black leggings, scrunched gray socks, cuff bracelet, and neutral wedge booties, got a bright boost from the neon yellow Cambridge Satchel Company bag draped across her body. We think the fluorescent hue and structured shape gave the daytime look a zippy finish.

Congrats Pearlsandgreentea!
