The Look For Less: Carrie Bradshaw

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

This (mainly) vintage Carrie ensemble was one of my favorites in the Sex and the City movie. It's also one of the hardest to copy. I did my best, but had to change the color story. Instead of mixing green florals, which costume designer Patricia Field did with the vintage dress and coat, I found some lovely yellow floral pieces. Still cute, yes? The famous Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag is already spawning copies and there are many other gold dangly gold bracelets out there that aren't Verdura (and are much cheaper!).

Smocked Summer Floral Dress - $39.50	ASOS Pyramid Stud Waist Belt - $32.45
Karen Kane Floral Print Jacket - $109.99	Beaded Eifel Tower Handbags in Black/Gold - $75.00
Madalynn Black Multi - $109.95	Ball Drop Bangle Set - $28.00

Fab Finding Follow Up: Ooh la la, Paris Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 16:30:33 -0700

Last week, I asked you to imagine I was about to board a plane to Paris for the fashion week to end all fashion weeks. It's not actually happening, but a girl can dream, right?

I need a wardrobe to floor those Frenchie fashionistas - it's got to be class-act! Parisian women like their classic staples - the Chanel quilted bag, the well-cut pea coat...but they also like to jazz it up with unexpected pieces. Most importantly, they always look tres chic.

I started you off with this Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower Bag, $375, because it's perfect for the occasion, and it's just like the bag Carrie holds in the "Sex and the City" movie! To see all the Paris Fashion Week 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.

Timmy Woods Lips Purse: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:00:22 -0700

I'm all for smooches but carrying my lips on my bag is questionable. This Timmy Woods Lips Purse, $250, is definitely eye-catching but not something I'd want to nurse in public. I feel it would draw too much negative, cheesy attention and belittle my outfit. Do you agree?

I Want This Wardrobe: Sex and the City Movie

By now, (hopefully) the majority of you have seen the Sex and the City movie. Yay! What did you think? BuzzSugar definitely has her opinions.
