Fabworthy: Shop By Your Favorite Decade

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:00:22 -0800

Saks Fifth Avenue is now letting you live vicariously through your favorite style icons of decades past. If like me, you wish you experienced the roaring '20s, let's stock up on fun flapper items, much like The Great Gatsby characters. Prefer to dress like Audrey Hepburn? Then visit the '60s section. Madonna lovers can revel in acid bright in the '80s department, while Kate Moss wannabes can sift through '90s-inspired clothes. Find your favorite decade and shop accordingly!

Come Fab Finding With Me: PartySugar's High School Reunion

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

PartySugar's high school reunion is coming up in couple of weeks. Since she's busy planning decadent holiday menus, shopping for clothes is the last thing on her mind - let's help her out! The reunion will be held at a swanky Mediterranean restaurant, so let's find her a fabulous dress, accessories, and footwear. One catch: she's recovering from foot surgery – ouch - so fancy flats are a must. I'll start you off with this Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Bracelet Clutch ($395); the chain-link detail is beyond fresh.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with High School Reunion. Now, you can build outfits by creating your very own widget 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 completing your Fab Finding missions. Learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one. And here's a detailed explanation of bookmarks from GeekSugar.

I Love Your ShopStyle: A Decadent Halloween

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Most people consider Halloween an event left for goblins and ghouls, but I beg to differ. I welcome the freaky, but I prefer the fabulous. If you're stuck on the idea, ask Paisley.

Her witches' brew of classic Halloween colors and fanciful frocks takes the term costume party to a whole new level. It's certainly a recipe that's to die for. Muhahaha.

Fab's January Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:00:08 -0800

2009. Wow - this decade is almost over! Crazy. I usually spend January detoxing, catching up on all the award nominated films, and prepping for Fashion Week in February. It's a hard month to get motivated, for sure. Alas, you always want to start the year off right. While I'm also on a shopping freeze, still recovering from the holidays, here are some items that have me fantasizing. A healthy mix of Resort and Winter goodies. Oh, Happy New Year!

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue. I would grab my fabulous Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote ($1,495) and set out to buy the latest and greatest fashions. Wouldn't that be nice? While shopping on 5th Avenue might be a far cry from reality, I can surely find a similar shopping companion, no?

This Spiegel Oversized Tote Bag ($29) packs major bang for the buck. The patent sheen and rivet detailing give off the same decadent look without the heavy price tag. Done and done.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Ice Queen

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:00:22 -0800

ShopStyle user EthnicPrincess is eagerly anticipating the first day of snow. There's something about the wintry white landscape that inspired her to put this magnificent look together.

To prepare, she's put together an outfit fit for an ice queen. Her mix of textures is genius. Nothing says Winter like a decadent velvet coat!

On Our Radar: Neiman's Decadent Christmas List

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The current economic crisis seems to have no impact on Neiman Marcus. The luxury retailer has released its annual Christmas book, and it's chock full of extravagant gifts. Edible 23-karat gold powder, BMWs, Cartier jewelry - the list goes on and on. We surely can't afford such decadence, but there's no harm in dreaming, right?

The catalog boasts an abundance of lavish gifts for everyone in your life. Cowboys fan? Neiman has your man covered with its $500,000 roll of synthetic turf cut from the Dallas Cowboys’ end zone at Texas Stadium. And for all the ladies, how about owning a piece of history with a 16th-century tourmaline and gold ring for $45,000? More high-end items include his and hers life-size Lego statues by Nathan Sawaya sold at a mere $60,000; a $1.3 million wedding at the Resort at Pelican Hills in Newport Beach, CA; a $1 million backyard golf course by Jack Nicklaus; and a chance to play a game with the Harlem Globetrotters for $110,000. Let the holiday shopping begin!
