Life's a Beach: Weekender

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

It's not good enough when someone says TGIF. I want a Saturday morning sleep in, an egg in a raft, and a perfect day poolside. Catch my drift? To be a weekender is to be in (temporary) bliss. True, two days is never enough, but when you have some fun in the works, pack it up and pack it up cutely - per Tory Burch Resort (left), who certainly knows what weekends are made of. When was the last time you bought a bright duffel or bold beach bag? Too long, I'm sure . . .

With the holiday travel season kicking into high gear, a trusty tote is the perfect sidekick to have in tow. This canvas and patent number ($38) is decidedly chic and very on-trend with its gold stud detailing. I would be proud to use it as my carry-on . . . or my carry-all-around-town!

I asked you to show us your typical in-flight outfit and started you off with this J. Crew Uptown Tote ($230) because it's an electric cobalt color and allows you to carry on all your necessities. To see all the Fab Flight Fab Finds, go here.

On Our Radar: The Baggu Bag

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:10:22 -0700

Ever since they decided to ban plastic shopping bags here in San Francisco a few months ago, fashionable alternatives have really been on my mind. We've talked about the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Tote, and the Marc by Marc canvas tote (got it!), but this new option may be my favorite yet.

The Baggu ("bag" in Japanese), $8, is made out of super strong ripstop material - it holds 25 lbs of groceries, which is equal to the amount 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags can carry! It's machine washable, ethically made in China, and can be folded into a really small pocket-sized pouch when it's not being used. Best of all, it's cute enough that you won't just want to take it to the grocery store - it'll end up going with you (and me) to the beach, the gym, on the airplane - everywhere!

Babeworthy Beach Bags!

It's about that time of year when I get a serious hankering to go to the beach. I don't know about you, but Ibiza or Cancun or even Myrtle Beach is sounding really good right about now! And what could make a stay at the beach more enjoyable than a seriously cute beach bag? This week's Life and Style has a few adorable options. I especially love the coral straw bag!
