Fab Finger Discount: Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie

FabSugar — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:55:22 -0800

Planning a Winter retreat? Then add this Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie ($99, originally $129) to your bag. You probably already have booties, but are they extra cozy? It's like a shearling jacket . . . for your feet! There is a black version as well, but I prefer tan.

Trend Alert: Taupe Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

If you're looking for a sleek and sophisticated boot this season, might I suggest you invest in a pair of taupe boots? This nice, neutral tone goes with any wardrobe palette and has that modern edge every girl is looking for. I love them so much, I own two pairs: one that's similar to this Sam Edelman Sofia Boot ($158), and a crosshatch vintage pair. So go, taupe it out.

Celeb Style: Lo Bosworth

No doubt, Lo Bosworth has upped her fashion game in the past couple months. The Hills star attended Star magazine's fifth anniversary in a chic black and white ensemble. Her oversized henley gives off a sexy menswear vibe, and while most Hollywood hotties like to show off their bare legs, Lo did so in a demure manner by layering her mini with tights. Deco tassel earrings and black suede booties complete her sleek look. I like this new stylish side of Lo . . .

Stuart Weitzman - $355.00	Charnos Hosiery Cable Opaque Tight tights - $9.00

Simply Fab: Kors Michael Kors Multi Zip Boot

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

There's good news and bad news. The good news: There's no boot dress code this Fall. It's pretty much anything goes in terms of heel height, over-the-knee, bootie - you name it, it's totally wearable. The bad news: this could lead to some manic dressing - crazily changing footwear at least 10 times before getting out the door.

The ever-practical Michael Kors has a solution. These Kors by Michael Kors Multi Zip Boots ($891) playfully combine function and fashion. Essentially, four boots in one. You're still paying a lot per pair, but let's not forget the price of cool - the ability to unzip (four times) to a whole new look just might make these worth the price tag.

Look of the Day: Maximum Impact

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Sometimes, you don't need a lot to make a statement. That's why I like VintageBabe's modern outfit. Her streamlined khaki dress has only one focal point: the wraparound zipper. This detailing might be minimal, but it gives her maximum impact.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Sfera
Blazer: Atmosphere
Tights: Cubus
Booties: Unknown

Congrats to VintageBabe!

Fab Finger Discount: Cindy Krista Suede Ankle Boot

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 05:50:11 -0700

I present the ultimate bootie for Fall: the Cindy Krista Suede Ankle Boot ($90, originally $150). It's the perfect blend of business and pleasure - the black suede is seriously slick, while the stacked wooden heel lends a casual undertone. Plus, the price is so right. I know you're mesmerized, so stop staring and start buying before it - poof! -disappears.

Sneak Peek! Nine West, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Nine West is on the top of my list when it comes to funky, comfy, footwear at a reasonable price. For Fall, the brand stepped it up - pun intended - supplying us with cutout booties, platform sandals, and leather boots dyed in rich jewel tones and classic Autumn hues. Heels are high, but not ridiculously so, textures cozy and buttery soft. I can't stop staring at this purple suede peep-toe pump; don't you love the butterfly cut embellishment?

Trend Alert: Summer Booties

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I understand wearing boots in the Summer is a geographical thing. For example, a gal in Washington DC (hot, sticky) may balk at the thought, while a chick in San Francisco (foggy, breezy) may bask in it. But I must aver the cuteness of Summer booties. Myla lingerie model and social Polly Delevigne exhibits said cuteness - pug alert!

Pair slightly tough, open-toe booties with a sweet sundress and voila! Modern girlie. Black is the most extreme, neutrals and metallics lend a lighter touch. And look on the bright side - come Fall, these become Fall booties. Smarties.

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively

After a long day of filming Gossip Girl in NYC - can't wait for the new season to start! - Blake Lively slipped into a luxuriously cool ensemble for some much-deserved down time. Check out how the self-styling actress contrasted her navy silk jumper and Marc by Marc Jacobs peep-toe booties with a multicolor cropped blazer and red Chanel bag. I'm starting to like the less sexy, more stylish Blake, you?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Peep Toe Ankle Bootie - Grey/Black - $595.00	Bargen - $40.00

Look of the Day: Sepia Tone

FabSugar — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:50:22 -0700

versicle has some cool Photoshop skills. Her sepia tone photo not only looks artistic, it also goes with her beautiful brown ensemble. I like how she paired her tiny polka dot dress with a skinny belt and matching boots. She's giving off a certain mysterious aura, no? Oui, oui!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Thrift Store
Jacket: Thrift Store
Belt: Vintage
Tights: Unknown
Boots: Naturalizer
Bag: Oink!

Congrats to versicle!
