Back to Cool: Saved by the Bell

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Hands down, Saved by the Bell was my favorite after-school show. High school couldn't look cooler with Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle, and Jessie Spano. Of course, hotties Zach Morris (remember the huge cellphone he used to carry in his pocket?) and beefcake A.C. Slater provided hunky eye candy. And Screech, who could forget Screech? Loved him. I was only in grade school when this show debuted, so I could only dream of wearing Kelly's crop tops and Lisa's tight denim shorts - Jessie had legs for days in those washed out skinny jeans. The girls also fancied jean jackets, high-waist pants, and floral prints. Sigh, what I would do for a Freaky Friday experience with Kelly Kapowski circa '91 . . .

Fab Finger Discount: Generra Pintucked Swing Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I'm from the school of thought that a gal can never have enough jackets. I have a closet-full and am always looking for more. They're a necessary finishing touch. I mean, would you get a manicure without the top coat? Exactly. If you see eye to eye with me, get this Generra Pintucked Swing Jacket ($89, originally $295), available in extra small through large. It can go over a fun sundress now, then over layers with a cozy scarf later. I'm smitten with the double breast, the subtle crop, but most of all, the price.

Look of the Day: '90s Babe

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 04:50:22 -0700

The wind caught mschaub2's hair at the perfect time. This adds to her cool, '90s babe outfit. There's nothing more iconic of this era than a jean jacket and floral dress - remember Blossom? I also like how she updated her ensemble by donning a pair of Alexander Wang-esque fringe platform sandals. C-ute!

Here's what she has on:

Jacket: Gap
Dress: Unknown
Booties: Forever 21

Congrats to mschaub2!

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 04:50:22 -0700

While I love Diane in high-octane fashion shoots, I love her equally on the street. Here she is smiling and running errands dressed down in jeans, boots, and bags. But let's dig deeper. Black and white stripes deliver a yummy nautical flavor, a shrunken light denim jacket feels fully familiar, a touch of icy lavender feminizes, and Balmain's black studded boots still make me swoon. A heather gray headband and A.P.C.'s Beads Bag ($210) are cool, casual touches.

Celebrity Style: Chloe Sevigny

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:07:46 -0800

This is why I adore Chloe Sevigny: While everyone else at the grand opening party of Fontainebleau in Miami Beach showed up in fancy frocks, Chloe played by her own rules. She downplayed her olive corset mini dress with a cool cropped denim jacket and set her feet apart with leopard ankle-strap sandals. Finishing touches are a lucite bangle and a Chanel bag. Oh, and I'm loving her burnt orange lips. Chloe's done it again: Easy, breezy, yet dazzling.

Celebrity Style: Mandy Moore

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

The always-smiling Mandy Moore lit up a recent red carpet not only with her grin but also with her ensemble. On top, she kept things casual in an Alexander Wang tank and a modern denim jacket. On the bottom, she went sexy in Larsen Gray's black band skirt and nude sandals. Most stars stay away from wearing denim on the red carpet, but I'm glad Mandy attempted it . . . and got it right.

Corey Denim Jacket - $54.50	Alexander Wang Tank Top - $115.00
Larsen Grey Ponti Band Skirt in Black - $237.00	Berella Nude - $149.95

Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!

Pair ink dark jeans with a light denim jacket, and vice versa.
Make it look like you mismatched your denim on purpose, like at D&G Spring '08 (pictured).
Look to trousers, blazers, and sharp cuts that will translate your mixed denim ensemble as modern.
Don't forget to check out the plethora of fun colored jeans available, too. The possibilities are endless!

Most of you despised this idea, but are you willing to try it out now?

Fab Finding Follow Up: Camp Fab-a-Fab-a-Hey

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

What did camp mean to you? I miss camp. Escaping the Summer lazys (and the 'rents) for color war, talent shows, and three-day boyfriends was the best. I went to two camps; one horseback-riding, more traditional camp and a scuba-diving camp. It was weeks of youthful fun. However, I never made it to camp counselor.

I asked you to create a look for the most fashionable counselor on the ranch and provided this American Living Jacket ($40, originally $120) to start with; it's so old school.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is too cool for camp. Dig the turquoise cuff and phat Ksubi shades.

KSUBI sunglasses	Sterling Silver and Turquoise Flower Bracelet (Native American)
Yves Saint Laurent Logo Leather Tote	JCPenney - American Living Jacket
Unisex Flex Fleece T - Flex Fleece	Twill Dolphin-Hem Shorts	Printed Dr. Martens

Look # 2, created by Lovecat, is preppy chic; the white Hudson capris are darling with the plaid kicks.

I'd like to ask the question what did camp mean to you, too. I miss camp. Escaping the Summer lazys (and the 'rents) for color war, talent shows, and three-day boyfriends was the best. I went to two camps; one horseback riding, more traditional camp, and a scuba diving camp. It was weeks of youthful fun. However, I never made it to camp counselor. How about creating a look for the most fashionable counselor on the ranch?

You can build from this American Living Jacket ($40, originally $120). A denim jacket takes me way back to Kumbaya.
