Fab Finding Follow-Up: Memorial Day Weekend Water Skiing!

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Memorial Day weekend I kicked up some major waves water skiing! This was a sporty little excursion so my outfit had to reflect my outdoorsy, but equally Fab, nature. Who says tomboys aren't cute?! I started you off with these Havaianas Slim Season Flip Flop ($23) because the gold floral motif kept me looking pretty while I splish-splashed about.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by Ashley2007, is classy and chic. I love the white and gold accessories.

The Ultimate in Luxurious Geek: Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato Laptop Bag I'm pretty sure I don't have to dig through my archives to be sure that this is the most expensive laptop bag I've ever posted because at $2,350 Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato Laptop Bag takes the cake, and does it with relish.

Trend Alert: The Weave

I have always been drawn to the weave. I think it's my lifelong adoration for Bottega Veneta (see amazing Spring wedge at left) and its luxurious woven leathers. Because Bottega has been around for so long, many copy cats have chimed in on the earthy motif. On shoes, this style is ideal — it's interesting, cool and slightly '70s — right up my alley.

Spring Peek: Grab Bags

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:00:22 -0800

You all seemed a bit apprehensive about the shoes of Spring and I gotta tell ya: the bags also come from Funkytown. Clutches continue to be the bag of choice, in both oversized and embellished versions. I have a blue crush on this patchwork Pucci (pictured). The rest run the gamut from leathery and lux to dainty and funky. Whatever your grab bag desires, carry them out this Spring.

Trend Alert: Juicy Red Patent Handbags

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:00:22 -0800

The differences between a juicy red patent handbag and a super slick black bag are three-fold.

Black is mysterious; red is in-your-face.
Black is sophisticated. Red patent bags can teeter between sophisticated and déclassé. I prefer darker hues; when the red is too bright it's too much.
Black is safe(er). A red patent bag is for the super confident woman. Are you ready for one?

Speaking of confidence. The red metallic Bottega below is beyond patent. I can't decide if it's sophisticated or déclassé. You tell me. Never, have I seen a bolder Bottega.
