Watermelon Vans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:00:22 -0700

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 -0700

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 -0800

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 -0800

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.

Fab Gift Guide: Big Man on Campus

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:00:22 -0800

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.

A Fabby Halloween: Punky Brewster

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

She was so '80s. She was so cute. She was so my hero. Seriously, she was a couple years older than me and I thought she was the coolest. So much, in fact, that in third grade I asked my teacher to address me as 'Punky.' The fact that I just confessed that somewhat embarrassing bit of personal history shows how much I care (tear).

But back to Punky, the real Punky. She was the most chipper orphan I ever saw - with the most unique fashion sense. Through her adventures with Henry, her pup Brandon, and her pals Cherie and Margaux, Punky spread her Punky Power. We witnessed her blossom into adolescence and boy did she blossom, i.e. Soleil Moon Frye publicly announcing her teenage breast reduction surgery, but I didn't notice. I just enjoyed the declarations like "holy mac-a-noley" and her funky fashions. It's never too late to embrace your inner Punky - do so this Halloween!

Back to School on a Budget! Fab Shoes Under $50

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:00:22 -0700

So now you've got your back to school wardrobe of dresses, bags, outerwear, and denim all for very reasonable prices, but let's be honest, where would we be without a good pair of shoes? Me, I would be a goner. Total shoe-fiend right here. In the order of getting dressed in the morning, shoes go on last, and we all know the best is saved for last.

Sadly, my appetite for shoes is bigger than the size of my wallet, but that doesn't mean I am forced to wallow in total misery, it just means I have to be more careful about what I pick and choose (and maybe wait for a sale or two!). But screw waiting: right here, right now, I introduce to you a whole bounty of babely under-$50 shoes, ripe for the picking.

I Want This Wardrobe: Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:30:22 -0800

Notice how Serena van der Woodsen toned down the sexy in this episode of Gossip Girl. During a congressional visit, the Upper East Sider wore a navy boyfriend blazer over a simple black minidress. Smart move layering the short hemline with textured tights. A metallic scarf and olive-green satchel complete her chic, office-friendly ensemble. Now if only her and Blair would make amends . . .

Hello Nasty: Jewelry Made Out of . . . Human Teeth and Hair!

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

People fashion some crazy things, and human teeth and hair jewelry are the latest materials being used. But Australian Polly van der Glas has some fans - she received the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award for her work. All sterling silver pieces are hand-made in Melbourne and the designer is currently taking donations for teeth, since they're hard to come by. But don't fret, the molars are sterilized and the hair is locally donated or sourced from India or China. Does that put your mind at ease? If you can stomach it, proceed.
