Life's A Beach: Living La Vida Linen

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:00:22 -0700

It's hot, I'm sweating, and I can't even imagine lugging a leather bag underneath my armpit. That's why I'm living la vida linen. Linen bags are a great substitute to leather during the warm weather. My lust of the moment is this Foley + Corinna Linen City Clutch ($175). Besides the Fab color, it won't leave me feeling sticky and will keep my everyday essentials cool and comfy. Spice up your handbag collection and breathe in some linen.

Christina Ricci arrived at JFK airport in NY with her adorable Frenchie, Ramon in tow. He and Annabelle would be such cute playmates! Mother and pup are both preppy — Christina in plaid and Ramon in argyle. She's kick-back and comfy, but doesn't sacrifice style. Have fun with your new buddy Christina!

7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Denim is a tricky fabric to work with, especially when it's used on dresses. This 7 For All Mankind One Shoulder Denim Mini Dress ($172) would be lovely in another fabric, but the denim makes it seem outdated and stiff. Nice try 7 For All Mankind, but I'll stick to just wearing your jeans. What are your thoughts? Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

After a brief hiatus, Cameron Diaz is back in the public eye. Yay! While shopping with friends in NYC, the svelte actress showed the world her new oversized Fendi bag, Francesca Romana Diana pinkie ring, and Winter-white coat. The rest of her look — the Loeffler Randall boots, skinny jeans, brown scarf — is quintessentially Cameron, and that's why we love her; she layers simple pieces and makes them Fab.

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 06:00:22 -0700

So there's been buzz that the stirrup is back, but I'm still convinced that it's all coming from the denim companies, trying to get us to buy another new pair of jeans. Take a good, hard look at these 7 for All Mankind Stirrup Jeans, $168, and ask yourself: is the stirrup jean really, truly going to make a comeback? I think not.To post your selections go to the Love It or Hate It? group. And if you want to learn how to do a blog post click here.

Fab Site: Glimpse.com

Since their launch in April 2006, Glimpse's mission has been to create a fun and easy place for women to shop online for clothes, shoes, beauty, jewelry and home decor. Mission accomplished! The site works with retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Banana Republic, Macy's, Sephora, eLuxury and brands like 7 for All Mankind, Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY and Manolo Blahnik to bring you exactly what you're looking for.

Say you're in need of a shirtdress, all you have to do is type "shirtdress" in the search box and voila! If it pulls up too many results, you can narrow the search by price, brand and stores. My only complaint about the search is that when I typed "black shirtdress" nothing came up. But when I input "black blouse," I got a bunch of black blouses. So it can be semi-inconsistent that way.

They also have features like "Trend Alert" and "Celebrity Style" in which they suggest items that are must-haves or that resemble pieces that a particular star wore.

So what are you waiting for - go to the site and catch a glimpse of pretty things that are calling your name! And a big thanks to SFKitkat for introducing us to the site!

Trend Alert: Denim Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:06:44 -0700

Doesn't a denim dress just take you back to camp or, if you can remember that far back, the sand box? Denim dresses have a very youthful feel about them so, make sure to pick a style that is appropriate for your age. I for one adore this first MJ option, but feel I only have a few years left to wear it (I'm 27). Screw it! I may just have to get it anyway! Here are my picks.

MARC by Marc Jacobs Denim Dress, $298.
