Look of the Day: Glazed Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Sticky, hot Miami weather wasn't going to stop AngelaChristin from rocking leather pants - well sort of. These hot glazed jeans are the perfect substitute and give her the same leather look without sacrificing an ounce of style - pure genius.

Here's what she has on:

Jeans: Seven for All Mankind
Tank: Old Navy
Shoes: Aldo

Congrats to AngelaChristin!

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:11:11 -0700

This way cute Free People tank top reminds me of sunny days to come. The colorful array of stripes are adorable and the flare at the bottom is precious. And isn't it sort of Jonathan Sauders-esque?

The starting price is at a friendly $29.99 and the auction ends on Sunday, April 13. Good luck!

Tank Up for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 16:30:22 -0700

You can always count on C&C California to have the softest, comfiest tees. I consider their Classic Tank to be, well, a classic. To ring in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, C&C has taken that Classic Tank and reincarnated it as the Breast Cancer Classic Tank, $48, complete with a cute little pink ribbon print!.

It's a great way to show your true colors (pink!) and support a great cause, since a portion of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Plus, you'll be totally comfortable in and with your new purchase - no buyer's remorse here!

Get Your Butt in Gear: Stonewear Designs

FitSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:30:00 -0700

When I workout, I'm looking for clothes that are comfortable, well-made, reasonably priced, and flattering. I want clothes that can withstand more than a few washes, and support my active lifestyle (and my curves).

I found a new company that fits the bill - Stonewear Designs. Their tank tops are really unique, like nothing I've ever seen. I love all the criss-crossy straps, and the styles with the higher necks (you don't want your ladies popping out while working out). These tops are perfect for walking, hiking, biking, rock climbing, strength training, Yoga, and Pilates. Many of the styles have support bras attached, so you could even do some jogging.

Another great thing about Stonewear Designs is their goal: to make clothing that helps women feel good about their bodies. I love that, and I love these tops.

Get Your Butt in Gear: prAna Tops

FitSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 02:30:00 -0700

I'm always on the lookout for feminine yet supportive tops for my workouts. I don't mind spending a good chunk of change for a yoga top if it will continue to hold its shape and style after many washings. You know you are going to be washing your workout tops frequently, right?

That's why I love prAna tops. For less than $50, they are all made from amazing fabric that wicks away moisture and never pills or stretches out. Plus they have some adorable styles. Check them out:

Get Your Butt in Gear: Brooks Powerpro Mesh Tank

FitSugar — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:30:00 -0700

We all know that Brooks makes great running shoes, but did you know they make great gear as well. The Powerpro Mesh Tank ($44) seems as engineered as their sneakers and I appreciate the attention to detail. Constructed from their Powerpro mesh, this top is designed for ventilation, breathability and moisture management - that's just a fancy way to say wicking. The fabric is even textured to aid evaporation. A lot of technology is at work to keep you dry.

Not only is this tank designed to move the sweat away from your body, it is also constructed with an internal bra ideal for supporting A-C cup athletes. It offers shape as well as support since its encapsulation design eliminates the "uni-boob" phenomenon. The inner liner also moves moisture away from the skin for dry comfort during and after your workout. The entire shirt is sewn with rolled over edges to prevent chafing. Like I said, a lot of attention to detail

Buy it directly from Brooks in either black or canyon - that's orange in catalog speak.

Girls who love dressing ultra casual will be excited to hear C&C California is having a major sale. All cashmere tops, perfect for the upcoming Fall (or nippy Summer evenings), are 35% off. I may have to snag this Women's Cashmere Sonya, $133 (originally $265), because it provides a unique twist to the usual wrap sweater. I love how loose-fitting it is. Wouldn't it be super cute with dark skinny jeans and some metallic peep toe flats?

Look of the Day: Lovely in Layers

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:30:33 -0700

I'm a sucker for layering so Biochick's lovely in layers ensemble caught my eye right away. This is the cutest a gal who's going to take an exam has looked! I adore the scarf and the effortless way she wrapped it around her neck a couple of times. The use of the colors white, black and yellow is also very current and hip.

Here's what she has on:

Scarf: Esprit
Black Cardigan: Gap
Yellow Tank: TNA
White Tank: Club Monaco
Jeans: Esprit

Congrats to Biochick!

The Look for Less: Primp Anchor Thermal

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:03:33 -0700

We love Primp just as much as the next girl. And nautical-inspired gear is still ashore so jump on this boat before the trend sinks. Although this Primp Anchor Thermal, $80, makes for fun fashion, paying over $30 for a thermal doesn't make complete sense. Especially since this is such a trendy item that's here today and will surely be gone tomorrow.

To see the Look for Less, read more

This Knit Anchor Tank, $9, is much more worth your money than Primp's version because it's more Spring friendly. Plus, it's really long so paired with dark skinny jeans and a pair of flats, it can look tres adorable. And, it's less than $10 so should the nautical craze be over as soon as you receive it in the mail, you won't feel so bad!

Long Tank Tops - Don't Look at My Belly

FitSugar — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 03:00:00 -0800

It's one of my pet peeves to be working out and have to fuss with my outfit. When I'm going for a run, I don't want to have to worry about my shirt riding up. If I'm doing camel pose in a yoga class, I don't need to show the world my belly button - if I did, I'd just wear a sports bra.

Check out this tank top by Nike. It has a shelf bra built in to support your bosoms. It also has shaped cups for even more support and less nipple showing (I hate that).

It has got a v-neck so it looks a bit more flattering. The wide racerback straps provide comfortable coverage and free movement - you won't have to worry about your skinny spaghetti strap sliding off.

The best part? The length of the top is longer, so your belly will be covered any way you move. It comes in black, white, razzle pink (shown), and aurora blue for $38.
