10 Warm Winter Coats You Need Now!

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

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.

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!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Fab reader Sabina Tarnowka needed our help. She recently moved to Michigan and is in dire need of a warm Winter jacket. She's on a budget, so I challenged you to find items under $200. Remember, Sabina wants snazzy, not sporty. I started you off with this EEK! by Eugenia Kim Bow Beanie ($38) for inspiration. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is casual but stunning. The check coat and over-the-knee boots are divine.

Look #2, created by Sarahab145, is understated chic. Camel with black and white equals love.

Look #3, created by nikkeeb, has a boho touch. Those ruffle ankle boots are too cute.

A Fabby Halloween: Michael Jackson

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

No doubt, the King of Pop (RIP) will be a popular choice for Halloween this year. Who doesn't want to emulate such saucy style and cool character? Channeling your inner Micheal Jackson requires androgynous dressing: a white tee, loose cropped trousers, a drummer jacket - local thrift stores are filled with treasures from this era. Don't forget essential accessories like white socks, a black fedora, and trademark silver sequin glove. I'm bad, you know it . . .

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Trend Alert: Cat Print Minis

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Sigh, I will never tire of Miranda Kerr's cuteness. In addition to being one of Victoria's Secret's top models, the natural beauty is also a master at casual cool styling. While running errands in her native hometown of Sydney, Australia, she cranked up the fashion factor by pairing a blazer and tee with a vivacious cat print mini. Genius. These savage minis - whether lush leopard, cheetah, or tiger prints - add the ideal dose of animal instinct, and look best paired with loose casual tops. Just look at Miranda for inspiration; you know I will.

Celeb Style: Lo Bosworth

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

No doubt, Lo Bosworth has upped her fashion game in the past couple months. The Hills star attended Star magazine's fifth anniversary in a chic black and white ensemble. Her oversized henley gives off a sexy menswear vibe, and while most Hollywood hotties like to show off their bare legs, Lo did so in a demure manner by layering her mini with tights. Deco tassel earrings and black suede booties complete her sleek look. I like this new stylish side of Lo . . .
