ZIPZ Give Kids Endless and Interchangeable Sneaker Options

babysugar — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:00:00 PDT

Just give it a zip! We've seen two classic sneaker companies get more kid-friendly this season with the introduction of a Dr. Seuss line of Chuck Taylors and Yo Gabba Gabba Vans. Now, youngsters can design their own shoes with a new line of kicks called ZIPZ.

Using a mix and match philosophy, kids buy a ZIPZ shoe sole ($18) and then zip on the top of their choice (starting at $24). Tykes can choose from colorful low-tops or Converse-inspired canvas high-tops in a variety of bright and bold patterns. When the children tire of their shoes, additional tops can be zipped on for completely new looks.

Check out Avah's relaxed ensemb - proof that casual doesn't mean sloppy. In fact, this is easy, but so on-trend: plaid button-down, aviators, and white boyfriend shorts. For flair, cheeky sunglasses - how perfectly Summer '10.

Here's what she's wearing:

Watermelon Vans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:00:22 PDT

Nothing quenches Summer thirst like a succulent watermelon. Speaking of, how awesome does a Watermelon Rum Mash sound right about now? Vans are a classic throwback to '80s surf/skate - I just bought a new purple pair. But I'll wave these Watermelon Vans ($48) good-bye - too silly. E tu?

March Shopping Madness! Candy Kicks

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:00:22 PDT

There's no better way to exude youth this Spring than with candy kicks. But shy away from chunky, boyish sneakers - instead, invest in lean low-tops in exuberant colors. Not only are they super comfortable to frolic in, they're also pure eye candy. Pick a pair in your favorite hue and wear it with a voluminous mini, playful tee and a lightweight cardi. Fun!

Fab Gift Guide: Hippie Bro

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:00:22 PST

Peace, love and fiber-friendly fabrics - that's how to please the Hippie Bro. Your bro was way ahead of the eco movement. Pssht - he's been composting and driving a diesel for years. But he's (secretly) happy that now it's not all hemp and hippie beads. Show him you appreciate his earth-saving sensibility with eco-chic brands like Loomstate and Alternative Apparel.

Fab Gift Guide: Kid Bro

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:00:22 PST

Your kid bro might be hella annoying at times, but it's only because he wants to be like you! This holiday, show him you care with some fabulously fun gifts. These budding boys are all about the cool factor. I know a kid bro who would go bonkers over these Dakine Omega Pipe Gloves ($50). The waterproof fabric is perfect for some snow ballin' action, and he'll love the artistic, blue design.

Trendtotting: Vans

LilSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:00:59 PDT

Slip into Summer with a pair of versatile Vans ($25) for your lil one. In the past, I've been partial to Pumas, but as the warm weather moves in and trips to the beach become more frequent, the traditional canvas shoes allow my tots to take them on and off on their own. And, the sturdy soles help them navigate hillsides a bit better than sandals. Practicality aside, Vans come in a myriad of designs from old-school black-and-white checkerboard to flames of fire and animal adornments. If you're into family dressing, mom and pop can also sport these comfortable kicks.

Fab Gift Guide: Big Man on Campus

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:00:22 PST

He may be your typical collegiate, but he prefers to think of himself as the Big Man on Campus. He runs on a diet of beer, pizza, and Red Bull, works out with his iPod, and lives in his school's hoodie. You don't want to mess with his system, but it might help to throw a puffer vest or another Henley into the rotation - he is living on a college budget, after all.
