Naomi and LV Show Off Their Charitable Side

Naomi Campbell might have had issues with anger management in the past, but she's putting all of that aside for charity. In support of The White Ribbon Alliance, a foundation dedicated to reducing maternal mortality, the Super Model collaborated with Louis Vuitton to sell this hunter green monogrammed Louis Vuitton bag ($2,800) - proceeds from sales will go to the foundation. People say fashion people don’t do anything. "We do a lot," said Campbell, who is the global ambassador for the foundation. The handbag will be available in March.

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled. Dramatic much? But doesn't it make you want to do the pleat?

Marilyn Minter's Green Pink Caviar Tote Bag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

If Marilyn Minter's sticky and sweet Green Pink Caviar video for Madonna left you wanting more, check out this Marilyn Minter Tote Bag ($48). The still image of the tongue in full thrust - complete with gold goo - isn't as crazy as the video scene, but it's still racy. In fact, if you buy the tote this month, proceeds will go to Bright Pink, a nonprofit breast and ovarian cancer organization. Charitable indeed, but is that enough to make you want to purchase it?

Tom Binns's Arm Candy

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

There's more reason to love jewelry extraordinaire Tom Binns now that he has branched into the world of leather goods - yay! Details are still under wraps, but we do know his luxe leather line will debut in the Spring and will include a white leather bag adorned with metal studs. It will come in three different sizes and be priced between $650 to $1,850.

But that's not all. Binns has also created a soccer-themed collection of jewelry and bags with Puma, which will be available for the World Cup, along with designing a limited-edition, crucifix-embellished "Sunday" handbag with Corto Moltedo. Somewhere between all of his collaborations, he found time to make a line of eccentric wearable sculptures that will shown at the Art Basel Miami in December. Binns is one busy man.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sayonara Brunch

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

Tear, a good friend of mine is moving to Japan this week. I'll miss her dearly, but I know she's in for a great adventure. To send her off with good memories, a group of us took her to a favorite eatery, Lime, for a sayonara brunch. I asked you to help me put together a cunningly cute outfit that included a jumpsuit. Remember this was just a brunch, so nothing super fancy.

I started you off with this Foley + Corinna Sling Bag ($450) because it was one of my must-have pieces in the look book. Let's see what you came up with!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is casually sleek. I like how the belt adds a fun quirky touch.
