Fab Redux: Shimmer and Shine

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:00:22 -0800

With scalloped edges and abstract flower print, this handmade vintage sequined top ($60) straight from the '60s is perfectly decadent.

The design fits right in with the Spring artsy trend, and paired with a simple eggplant skirt it could definitely steal the show - if you're a size small.

Sneak Peek! Kate Moss For Topshop, Christmas '09

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Set your alarms, ladies, the Kate Moss For Topshop Christimas '09 Collection drops in stores and online tomorrow. The Super models what you have to look forward to: sexy, moody frocks, airy blouses, lots of sheerness, sequins, and belts. Oh, and the debut nightwear collection, which she plans on wearing out. "I might wear some of the PJ tops out as a layer, instead of a shirt, but probably not as a set." I think I'll take Kate's lead and wear some of the nighties for a night out.

Fabworthy: Theory Suzianne Sequin Top

FabSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Remember the other day I announced Shopbop's 25% off 70% sale (you do the math)? I pounced on this Fabworthy: Theory Suzianne Sequin Top (on sale for $111, originally $495). Pray tell why, Fab. I was recently getting ready for a party when my friend, wine glass in hand, said how about a sequin tee? I said, yes! Alas, I didn't have such a Fab item. Sequins have been trendy for a while, but one could argue they are a classic. With such a nonchalant silhouette, this tee is modern and un-fussy. How hot would it be with a pair of white jeans and oversized shades on a foggy day?

The sequin tee is still available and the sale ends tonight so if you're lacking some serious sequins now is your chance.

A Fabby Halloween: Cirque du Freak

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Cirque du Soleil turns 25 years old this year - a quarter of a century of amazing acrobatics, over-the-top costumes, and praise-worthy showmanship. If you've ever been to one of Cirque's shows, you know it's all about the theatrics. Lots and lots of it! Colorful stripes, silly polka dots, top hats, sequins, feathers, bow ties, and ballet slippers are all part of the freaky fun. For makeup ideas, check out Bella's 21 hair and makeup looks you WON'T be wearing come Spring. And unlike everyday life, you can pile on all these things on Oct. 31; the more, the freakier.

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Matthew Williamson Sequined Top: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:09:33 -0700

This is a curious one. Now if I saw this Matthew Williamson Spectrum Sequined Top, $750, in a vintage shop for say $30 or less, I would probably buy it. This would be fun to wear for a girls' night out of dancing worn with a flirty mini or tight black skinnies. But no, I would not spend $750 for this, even though I am a sucker for sequins and Williamson's expert use of color. What about you, love it or hate it?

Which Good Hair Premiere Attendee Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:44:22 -0700

Gabrielle Union, Eve, Tracie Thoms, and Nia Long attended the Good Hair premiere in LA looking flirty and fresh. As the lights flashed, Gabrielle smiled pretty in a black and white abstract-printed dress; Eve posed in a silky brown sequin-embellished frock; Tracie kept it slick in a gray jersey dress and draped leather jacket; and Nia Long shimmered away in a low-cut sequin top and silk shorts. Four stylin' ladies, four sensational looks - which do you prefer?

Topshop Fall Marathon: Manhattan Cocktail

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

First we thrilled you with Topshop's Horror Girl lineup. Now it's time for the girl to glam up. Like its fancy name suggests, "Manhattan Cocktail" is a collection of sassy cocktail attire. You know, the pieces you wear when you're feeling livened. But don't only expect to see frocks - satin trousers, sequined minis, oversize blazers, architectural tops, leather pants, and bustiers are the way to dress up these days. Sequins scream luxe, but mixing different patterned sequins? Even better! Go forth for more funky glitz from Topshop.

Lulu's, New Go-To For Vintage

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

The unworn merchandise at Lulu's is just fine - and cheap! - but now they've added a new vintage collection for their quirkier customer. I'm stoked because the buyers know what's up - that most women these days seek chic and cheap. So far there are about 95 vintage items, most under $50. Sequined tube tops, sweet velvet dresses, quirky blouses, and denim rompers are waiting for you . . .

Sneak Peek! Mango, Summer '09

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Here is Polish model Kasia Struss cliff climbing in the latest collection from Mango. The Summer stock includes countless fashiony pieces: drop-crotch shorts, sequin tops, flutter-sleeve blouses, plaid pants, neon tees, print maxis, and colorful scarves. I see a collection that's conducive to warm weather but doesn't compromise style for temperature. I quite like how they've jazzed up this long, white prairie maxi with a fun scarf and low-slung brown belt. There's more where that came from . . . Supermodels
