Online Sale Alert! Start Summer With 80's Purple

FabSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:00:22 -0700

The cool thing about 80's Purple is it stocks a wide range of brands ranging from wesc for the surfer girl, to decadent Dior sunnies. The site's sale section, boasting up to 50 percent off, is packed with Summer essentials. You name it and it's on sale: Shorts, bikinis, dresses, tees, you get the gist. I love how you can warp this Jenny Han Pleated Crepe Fan Camisole ($86, originally $172), to look casual or fancy depending on what you pair it with. That bright yellow hue is too hot to pass up . . .

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Funny Show

FabSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:00:22 -0700

I'm a lover of fashion, but did you know I also like laughing? In fact, I participated in a comedy open mic in NYC a couple years back. Needless to say, I bombed. Last weekend, I left it to the professionals and attended a comedy show with a couple of friends. I asked you to put together a cunning outfit for me.

I started you off with these Opening Ceremony Lace-Up Flats ($222, originally $370) because I was inspired by Sienna Miller's cool 'fit. So many good looks, let's see who made the cut!

Look #1, created by catita85, is simple yet complex. The gray blouse goes exceptionally well with the sandals.

Color Me Inspired: I Love You, Man's Sunshiney Bride and Bridesmaids

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:50:22 -0700

This Spring, in the comedy I Love You, Man, we witnessed one of the happiest, liveliest colors a bridesmaid can wear. The maids in the movie wore Nanette Lepore's "Still Free" shift dresses, FYI. Appropriate for a garden, beach, or even indoor wedding (if the reception or party is outdoors), your bridesmaids will thank you. How can one stress on the big day when she's surrounded by chipper yellow best buds? I'm also an advocate of non-bridesmaids bridesmaid dresses for the supporting cast - sourcing a mid-range designer for wear-again cocktail dresses is the way to go. It's thoroughly modern and, again, your bridesmaids will be thankful. What do you think - are you as smitten with this sunshiney bride and her bridesmaids as I am?

If you're feeling me on this one, take a look at my sunshiney bridesmaid picks, and read more.

It's all about spending quality time and eating tasty food - thanks to Yum's delicious Super Bowl recipes. Help me find an outfit that's equally comfy and festive. It gets a little drafty at my parents' house so don't forget the slippers!

I'll start you off with this Delia's Cori Striped Sweater ($45, originally $50); go Steelers!

The Look For Less: Daftbird Loose Neck Tee

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Blame it on my past raver days but I'm all about neon. What's not to love about the electric vibe? I'm lusting over the drapey shape of this neon yellow Daftbird Loose Neck Tee ($83). I'm sure I'll get good use out of it but paying that much for a tee makes me cringe.

To see the look for less, read more.

This American Apparel Fitted Tunic ($28) works well within my budget. The neon yellow tone is super bright and I like how the model is wearing the tee tucked in for a more old-school look - thanks for the tip!

First Lady Style: Michelle Obama in Isabel Toledo

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

Yellow. Lemongrass, to be exact. It's a known fact that yellow is an uplifting, optimistic color. What better choice, then, for the new first lady for the swearing-in ceremony this morning. While her tots wore colorful J.Crew Crewcuts (so cute), Michelle continued the delight in a custom Isabel Toledo coat and dress. The Cuban-born designer did not know this would be Michelle's choice today - imagine the designer's delight.The delicious design was quite luxurious, made of Swiss wool lace, backed with netting for warmth, and lined in pale pink French silk. About the cheery color, “I wanted to pick a very optimistic color, that had sunshine,” Toledo said. Michelle didn't stop the color there. Her olive green leather gloves and teal Jimmy Choo shoes were unexpected additions. I know everyone is comparing Michelle to Jackie O, but Jackie would definitely approve of this. What I adore most about Michelle's look is the texture, the slight overall sparkle, and fancy neckline. Not in a long while has a first lady experimented with color, texture, and embellishments.
