Fab Finding Follow-Up: College Holiday Party

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:14:22 -0800

You're cool in school, but instead of hitting the books, you're thinking about the fabulous holiday party your friend is throwing. How are you going to stand out from the crowd? This is the time to put together one of the snazziest outfits you've worn all year. Sequins highly recommended. I started you off with these SO Silver-Tone Crystal Stud Earrings ($7) because they'll kick-start the sparkle. Let's see your dazzling finds.

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is totally '20s, with a modern twist.

Look #2, created by maria212134, delivers major sparkle. I want that skirt!

Look #3, created by Zivanod, has a rock 'n' roll 'tude, and I like it.

Fab Finger Discount: Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie

Planning a Winter retreat? Then add this Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie ($99, originally $129) to your bag. You probably already have booties, but are they extra cozy? It's like a shearling jacket . . . for your feet! There is a black version as well, but I prefer tan.

Trend Alert: All That Glitters

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Whether you're 6 years old or 30, the holidays are the perfect time to revel in all that glitters. Given, I don't need an excuse to wear such shimmering objects, but maybe you do. Glitter is more understated compared to its shine sisters - sequins and paillettes - and so perfect right now. If I owned this Anya Hindmarch Glitter Clutch ($425), I would flaunt it morning, noon, and night . . .

The Look For Less: Prada Stud Bow Ballet Flats

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

I know bow flats have been around forever, but I recently became smitten with these Prada Stud Bow Flats ($530). What I don't love, however, is the high cost. The soft bow and studs are desirable - the price tag, not so much.

These Jessica Simpson Betrice Stud Bow Flats ($69) are more like it. Sure, they're not Prada, but they're equally black, suede, and have gold studs sprinkled over the soft bows. Plus, the price is just right. Bow-tiful!

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Nothing goes unnoticed on Victoria Beckham. Not only did she sport some sharp trousers, and an incognito cloche hat at the Heathrow Airport, she threw on a little boxy jacket. A little boxy Chanel jacket. You have to love this woman's luxe travel wardrobe. Chanel tweed is ideal, but you can make an equal statement in fur - embellished, plaid, or striped. You know how to wear it: boxy on top, slim, on bottom. Sweet travels . . .

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble. Her black cardi and bubble mini would be plain on their own, so she made sure to accessorize with fun elements.

Slouchy beanies are always adorable, but what makes this Light Gray Soft Beanie fresher are the creases. With them, you can achieve a part grunge, part polished look. Throw on some ripped jeans for a too-cool finish. Buy it now for $6.99. The auction ends on Tuesday, Nov. 24, and there are more beanies where that came from.
