FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Now that we've shopped for the fashion fiend, let's talk about the man about town. He's all about wearing the greatest and latest - with a cool twist. Let's impress him with a slouchy beanie in a refreshingly bright hue, kickass leather sneaks, a punchy card case, and crazy cuff links. Of course, he'll think of you every time he totes this Kenneth Cole Canvas Messenger Bag ($98); such an essential for his everyday life.

Trend Alert: Cozy Sweater Coats

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Living in SF, I'm about all about layering. That's where cozy sweater coats come in handy. The recent influx of Aztec, Nordic, and Navajo prints have me in a fashion tizzy - I think I need one of each. Solid neutral and jewel toned hues are also available for those who prefer more polish. Here's a Fab tip: wrap it up with a belt for a chic, cinched look. Wouldn't this Silence & Noise Intarsia Cardigan ($68) be a great gift for a dear BFF? Time to bundle up!

Aw, xoqiqixo, is having such glittery fun with her little kitty. But I'm mainly mesmerized by her shiny sequined jacket and those oxford flats - look at those adorable tassels! It's all so comfortable but doesn't lose its polish.

Here's what she's wearing:

Jacket: Topshop
Leggings: Vince
Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Congrats to xoqiqixo!

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Davida10 and I are on the same wavelength. See, we're both wearing Wang(ish) sweats today. I like how she paired her casual bottoms with a crisp black blazer for maximum contrast - smart! The beanie also adds a funky grunge touch.

Here's what she has on:

Sweatpants: Norma Kamali for Walmart
Blazer: Club Monaco
Tee: Kain
Booties: Cole Haan
Beanie: Urban Outfitters

Congrats to davida10!

Trend Alert: Sharp Trousers

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

It's tempting to wear the usual jeans, leggings, or tights during cold months, but I double dare you to try something new. Just look to Rachel Bilson for inspiration. Instead of donning the expected denim and top combo, the cutie paired a crisp white shirt with a pair of sharp trousers.

Note: these pants are all about the perfect fit. Ankle or cropped lengths can be flattering, just don't forget to complement them with fresh footwear.

I'm all about taking precautionary measures during flu season. Besides getting my annual flu shot, I always make sure to bundle up and stay warm. That's where a fabulous warm Winter coat comes into play. I own an arsenal of toppers from my days in NYC, but if you're still looking for that perfect outerwear piece, check out these 10 Winter coat picks. There's houndstooth print for McQueen lovers, pea coats for the classically chic, bright red for the daring stylephile, and fresh ponchos for the fashion-forward. The best thing? Every item is priced under $300 - sweet. I own a green anorak jacket similar to this Charlotte Ronson Army Twill Jacket ($290), and I can't live without it.

Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees. If the longer length is too much bling for your taste, try out shorter jackets or tailored blazers. Let's not forget to pair these shimmery jackets with tough shoes - a la Gwyneth - to temper the glossy glamour.

Look of the Day: Dotted Cutie

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

There's a dotted cutie in the house, and her name is ascotfriday. I smell perfection, head to toe. Up top she's crazy fun with her layered pearl necklaces, while at bottom she's working a more tailored look. It's all so nonchalant yet put together - heavenly combo.

Here's what she's wearing:

Shirt: Thrifted
Jeans: Urban Outfitters
Bag: Sabina
Shoes: Thrifted
Pearls: Vintage

Congrats to ascotfriday!
