Trend Alert: Tan Bod, Tan Accessories

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

You know what I always say: If you've got it, flaunt it. Victoria Beckham definitely lives by this mantra, always showing off her teensy figure in pencil skirts and her enormous wealth with Hermes bags. She also flaunts her perfectly bronzed skin. Whether it's natural or fake, many a sun worshiper can't help but reveal their buttery skin this time of year - and what better way to show it off than with equally tan accessories. There you have it, tan bod, tan accessories. Here's another mantra to adhere to: Just say no to tanning salons!

Fab Finding Follow Up: Flaunt That Post-Honeymoon Tan!

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:40:22 -0700

Sadly, the honeymoon is over, but, I asked you to imagine (or maybe for you this is actually true) you've just gotten back from your blissful honeymoon in tropical paradise. You would have a pretty sweet tan, right? I mean, what else would you be doing on your honeymoon besides laying out in the sun? (I'm being facetious sillies!)

As I was saying, you'll be nice and bronzed, and what better to do with your lovely glowing skin than wear complementary colors for the rest of the Summer - I'm thinking golds, olive green, turquoise, and of course: white! I started you off with these Alexis Bittar Edie Earrings, $145, because they'll look spectacular against your sun-kissed complexion.

To see all the bronzed babe fab finds go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Look #1, found by mellie_608 is definitely Summer perfect for showing off that Fab tan - I am absolutely in love with the dress she picked out: both that jade color and the tapestry-like print are lovely.

Look #2, found by klynnmorton is a cute casual option; the olive romper is perfect for offsetting your bronzed body, and it will look great with the white gladiators she picked out.

Look #3, found by Fab_Kitty is carefree and sensual - love the length and colors of the maxi dress, and wraparound sandals are always sexy!

March Shopping Madness! Tan Sands

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:00:22 -0700

You have to admit Lauren's little outfit here is pretty Fab. Here's the rundown: Alice + Olivia sateen rolled sleeve blazer, Jennifer Zeuner swirly initial necklace, Chanel bag. But, what is the key accessory that makes this look stand out? Duh - those awesome tan Miu Miu double cross platform sandals. The hard/soft mix of black and tan is ideal for transitional times. Stow those black sandals away and sink into tan sands.

A Healthy Winter Tan

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 23:50:55 -0700

This Sunday marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means the days are going to get shorter. But just because the sun is going to be scarce doesn't mean you can't maintain a light, healthy-looking tan. (Please, just don't go overboard!) The advances in self-tanning products over the past few years have been so remarkable that there's really no excuse to lay out in the sun any more. Here are my favorite self-tanners for instant and gradual results for the face and body.

FOR QUICK RESULTS
Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Spray Micro Mist Medium, $10.99, available here. I've heard some people complain that this gets splotchy if your skin has dry patches, but I have dry skin and I've never had a problem. Just make sure to apply right after exfoliating in a moisture-free room (i.e., not the bathroom you just showered in) and rub it in for extra blending.

FOR THE FACE
Clarins Tinted Self Tanning Face Cream SPF 15, $28, available here. This amazingly even tinted lotion gives you a bronzed look while the self-tanner is working, and the added SPF 15 sunscreen keeps your face protected from the actual sun when you're outdoors.

FOR A GRADUAL TAN
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer for Medium Skin Tones, $5.99, available here. Given, this product is slightly overexposed, but for good reason. The serious budget buy is one of the best gradual-tanning lotions out there. It goes on smooth without streaks and has a wonderful clean scent to boot.

Simply Fab: Guerlain Tan Boosting Bronzer!

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 05:05:55 -0800

Talk about fab! This new Terracotta Tan Booster by Guerlain, $54, is the world's very first bronzer that self tans as you apply it. Now even those of you who are stuck in the dead of dark winter can have a healthy glow.

This bronzer has been formulated with a genius ingredient called Tan Booster that helps to extend the life of your existing tan as well as build more color. Helpful hint - don't forget to dust your neck! It is available in two shades; light and medium. I adore the old school brown and gold packaging too!

Celeb Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

Miss Moss in fur - how Fab. Kate walked out of a London restaurant wearing one of her favorite fur chubbies. Underneath she kept it basic: black tank, black cardigan, and black jeans. But her scuffed-up tan buckle boots and fringe Genevieve Jones bag are not-so basic. Notice the tiny emerald earrings that dress her earlobes and her prominent cocktail ring.

Boxy Faux Fur Chubby Coat - $170.00	Tank - $19.50
Womens Hidden Hills 12" Peg - $179.00	Frye Maxine Tarpunto Shorty - $298.00
Grosgrain-trimmed cardigan - $54.50	Genevieve Jones Kate Fringe Bag as seen on KATE MOSS - $900.00
Dana Kellin Green Quartz and Pearl Earrings - $160.00	Foil Cocktail Ring - $18.00

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.
