The Look For Less: Proenza Schouler Safari Vest

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:30:11 -0800

Proenza Schouler's Spring '08 collection was inspirational to me because it took certain safari-esque pieces and glamorized them. I especially fell hard for the belted, long khaki vests (left). But being lovestruck doesn't usually equal cha-ching.

Sometimes Bebe's selections are so loud it hurts. Other times, like in the case of this Bebe Stretch Plaid Long Vest ($98), they are subtly stylish. I immediately had a vision of Proenza Schouler's runway show when I laid eyes on this vest. It's the most sophisticated and inexpensive way to dabble with the safari trend. Who's with me on this expedition?

eBay Find of the Week

Sometimes we're so fixated on skinny and wide-leg jeans that we forget about the existence of denim in other forms. This Jules Denim Vest, Size Medium will jog your memory. It's uncomplicated and would look great over any fun top. The heart buttons add some romance and whimsy.

The current bidding price is at $2.99 and the auction ends on Sunday, Dec. 23. Good luck, and happy bidding!

Get Your Butt in Gear: Isis Whisper Hoodie Vest

FitSugar — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:30:00 -0800

In the Winter, I am a big vest fan. Especially when getting active because it keeps my core warm while letting my arms breath.

It's always an added bonus if I can find a vest with a hoodie, so I am loving this Whisper Vest ($139) by Isis. Made from 650-fill powder goose down, it keeps you warm when it's on your back, but it's still light enough that you won't feel weighed down. Perfect on its own on cool days and evenings, or even under a shell when you are planning a long day of running, hiking, or snowshoeing this Winter. I am also loving the fun color combinations. Buy it here.

Get Your Butt in Gear: North Face Down Vest

FitSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:30:00 -0700

As the weather gets a little chillier, you may not need an entire jacket to keep you warm. But you may need more than a sweatshirt vest. That's the beauty of a down vest; it keeps your torso warm and your arms free. You just don't get too hot or sweaty.

I am loving the Nuptse vest by North Face. Want to hear more about it and see the other colors it comes in? Then read more

It's filled with high-loft down that insulates like nothing else, keeping you warm by trapping your body heat. It has two pockets on the outside to warm up your fingers if they get cold; plus the vest has an internal zippered pocket to hold your cell phone or keys. You can adjust the bottom hem with a cinch cord. So if the wind is blowing, you can pull it snug against your body.

The outside has DWR finish, which makes it waterproof. I love that this vest zips all the way up to your chin, keeping your neck protected and warm. Check out the great colors it comes in: Black, Brownie, Jewel Blue, Spice Red, White and Foam Green. It's definitely worth buying, since you can wear it all winter as a great layer under a waterproof shell or over a fleece. Order it from backcountry.com for $124.95.

Fabworthy: 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Vest

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 08:00:22 -0700

Phillip Lim is highly versatile. On one end he's all about tough plaid. On the other he's granny-chic. And just when you thought he had no more facets, he brings us this 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Vest, $375, (call store at 714-436-1540 to order).

Stylish mama Kate Beckinsale already got her hands on it and so should you. It's military chic but with a girly twist. And it looks good buttoned up as well as open. Fabworthy indeed.

Fab Redux: Quite the In-Vest-Ment

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Since I'm really getting into back to school mode, this little ivory sweater vest is perfect: right along the same school of thought! It's from the 80s and would be a great layering piece, especially come cooler Fall weather. Slip it on over a long-sleeved, blousy number and you're set (well except for the pants part)!

Fabworthy: American Apparel Poplin Reversible Vest

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:40:44 -0700

Hello my name is FabSugar and I'm addicted to American Apparel. Okay, now that I got that out of the way, I can go on and on about how much I adore this Poplin Reversible Vest, $36, that comes in eight color combos.

The first thing that appealed to me is that it's reversible - coolness. If one day I am feeling blue, I can wear the light blue side. If the other I am feeling dark, I can wear the black side. Heck, if I'm feeling really excited, I can wear bright turquoise! I also love that it looks so crisp and clean against a white tank. It would spice up any old jeans-and-t-shirt outfit in an instant. Fabworthy indeed!

How Would YOU Wear It? Fergie

FabSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 04:03:33 -0700

Here's Fergie doing something other than working out. I know, shocking huh? I'll leave the gossip to Pop, but I must comment on her fashion choices.

Has Fergie ever heard of the concept "less is more?" This girl repeatedly wears too many trends all at once. I appreciate the pieces in her black and white outfit, but all together, it's too much. I would have kept the hat and done away with the sunnies, the chunky ring, vest and black skinnies.

I would have worn denim skinny jeans just to add some color. Oh, and I would have removed that studded Morning Star from the Mulberry bag; it looks like a creature from Mars.

How would YOU wear it?
