Flowers Wilt, Chocolates Melt, Glassybaby Forever

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:42:10 -0700

What is a glassybaby? Only the hottest thing to come out of Seattle since Starbucks! The perfect hostess, housewarming or birthday gift, glassybabies are beautiful hand blown glass cups that can be used as candle holders, vases or drinking glasses. They come in 53 different colors, with new ones being introduced all the time and named fun things like "Seattle Sunset," "Rubber Ducky," and Martha Stewart's favorite "Bedford Brown."

When lit up they glow beautifully and make fabulous centerpieces or are sure to spark conversation when used as wine glasses at a party. Glassybabies have been getting a ton of press since Oprah created the buzz by listing them on her list of Favorite Things and artist and creator of glassybaby, Lee Rhodes, was featured on Martha Stewart Living.

A three-time cancer survivor and mother of three, Rhodes started making the glassybabies out of her garage seven years ago as gifts for friends. Now she is giving back by designating a select group of glassybaby colors to benefit organizations contributing to cancer patient care and cancer research. For example, this goldenrod glassybaby benefits M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to help Hurricane Katrina victims receiving cancer treatment.

Glassybabies are $40 each and can be purchased here.

Fab Gift Guide: Showering Your Bridesmaids With Love

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Your bridesmaids have done so much for you, so here's your chance to thank them for all their support. Chances are your girls come in all shapes and sizes, so accessories are the most fitting gifts - think jewelry rolls, fancy earrings they can wear at the wedding, or girlie undies.

While you're not required to get everybody the same item, keep the price points close so you don't end up upsetting friends before your big day. Another Fab idea is to buy them each a scarf in a color that most suits their unique personality. Personalized presents are also a great idea. The possibilities are endless but here are some items to get you started.

A Fab Wedding in Sonoma, CA

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

We've been talking weddings for the past few months and the time has come for the big day to finally happen. It's a lot of planning, emotions, and stress but every wedding I've gone to has always been special and fun - two things I will strive to make mine. We thought it would be fun to show you some real-life weddings this week so up first is a wedding I attended last month in Sonoma, CA.

The bride, Stefanie, and I went to high school together so it was really cool to witness her tying the knot. The super-cute couple lives in San Diego so their wedding had to be in nature. It turned out to be the perfect warm and breezy day at the Sebastiani Winery where their ceremony and reception took place. Here are the romantic (and fashion) details:

Who: Stefanie & Craig
Where: Sebastiani Winery, Sonoma, CA
When: April 27, 2008
What the bride wore: Lazaro gown, Stuart Weitzman shoes (gift), veil handmade by a bridemaid's mom
What the bridesmaids wore: Champagne-colored dresses by Banana Republic, gold metallic shoes
What was Fab: The winery ambiance outside and in, the bow on the side of the bride's dress and the lily in her hair, the tear-jerker vows, the barrel-surrounded dinner room, the bride and groom's saucy dance moves, the steak, the dessert table, and the endless pour of wine, of course.
Where to next for Stefanie & Craig: Honeymoon in Australia

On Our Radar: Neiman's Decadent Christmas List

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The current economic crisis seems to have no impact on Neiman Marcus. The luxury retailer has released its annual Christmas book, and it's chock full of extravagant gifts. Edible 23-karat gold powder, BMWs, Cartier jewelry - the list goes on and on. We surely can't afford such decadence, but there's no harm in dreaming, right?

The catalog boasts an abundance of lavish gifts for everyone in your life. Cowboys fan? Neiman has your man covered with its $500,000 roll of synthetic turf cut from the Dallas Cowboys’ end zone at Texas Stadium. And for all the ladies, how about owning a piece of history with a 16th-century tourmaline and gold ring for $45,000? More high-end items include his and hers life-size Lego statues by Nathan Sawaya sold at a mere $60,000; a $1.3 million wedding at the Resort at Pelican Hills in Newport Beach, CA; a $1 million backyard golf course by Jack Nicklaus; and a chance to play a game with the Harlem Globetrotters for $110,000. Let the holiday shopping begin!
