One look is never enough. Not when the fashion season consists of creative craftsmanship, quirky accessories, and inspiring styling. You learned my top collections for Fall, but there's so much more greatness to share. Want to take another closer look? I know I do . . .

Simply Fab: Summer Soles Fragrant Footings

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

There's all this talk of stunning footwear, but no one is addressing the issue of stinky feet. P-yoo! Have no fear, Fab is here with Summer Soles Fragrant Footing Products. I'm not going to lie and say that my feet never stink. If it's hot and sticky sometimes they do . . . but I'm going to put my foot down and get Summer Soles Fragrant Footings Mini Cushions ($15). There are ones for the balls of your feet, as well as full-feet cushions. Get your feet on these and not only will they provide comfort, they will also eliminate the not-so-sweet stench of sweat.

Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Kristen Bell was looking Spring-ready in her Etro dress while out promoting the ubiquitous Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I adore the contrast between the fresh floral print and the bold black trim. She dressed her frock up with patent Jimmy Choo sandals and a pretty adorable Juicy Couture butterfly bracelet, but I think this dress would also be great paired with a leather jacket to toughen it up. Kristen must have thought so too because that's what she wore with it while trekking from TRL to her taping for the Letterman show. Smart girl.

The Look For Less: Etro Spring '08 Fringe Sandals

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:00:08 -0700

While some Spring shows had us scratching our heads, Etro's collection had us saying, "Must. Have. Now." One of the factors, besides the ethnic weave skirt, that contributed to our drooling were the fringe sandals. Fringe sandal/boots were also spotted, but the wedges are much more wearable in hot climates. Too bad they're too expensive to be picked off the runway and brought straight to my feet.

Fab's March Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:00:22 -0800

It's official – we're ready to begin Spring shopping! Hopefully everyone knows the trends through and through and have decided which ones work for you. I'm going to dabble in the artsy and floral themes, as does this month's most wanted. One thing that marries all the best of the Spring trends for me is this Yves Saint Laurent Mini Star Bracelet ($395). I can't stop thinking about its star appeal — I've already placed a pre-order. Happy Spring shopping!

Who Wore It Better? Etro Ethnic-Print Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:00:22 -0800

I was so jealous when Kate Bosworth wore Etro's ethnic-print dress back in November. Now, thanks to Kimberly Stewart, who also wore the dress yesterday, I'm double envious. Kate accessorized a bit more with a scarf, boots, and a studded belt. Kimberly went minimal with a wide belt and studded pumps. Whose version wins? Source and Source

Who Wore It Better? Etro Ethnic-Print Dress

Kate . . . her accessories are spot on.

Kimberly — I like how she kept her look minimal.

Neither — gasp!

Both of them look nice.

Cooked Clothes: Love It or Hate It? Designer Kean Etro has just created a unique line of "cooked" shirts. His collection, which is called The Harvest Style, encourages folks to enhance their stained clothes instead of throwing them out. Think of his designs as tie-dye with a modern, organic, and foodie twist.

Spring Peek: Exotica

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

Many designers were trippin' for Spring. Whether it was an escape to India, a safari through Africa, or an excursion to Belize, exotica is one of the most exciting and adventurous trends to look forward to. Just Cavalli knows how to pack for it, so take note. It's easy to doze off into woolgathering when perusing these looks — maybe they'll inspire you to book your next exotic escape. What's on Fab's mind? I'm itching to go to Amsterdam or Thailand. Bon voyage . . .

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Preppy on top, party down under: that's the way this outfit rolled on the Etro runway. There's a lot going on here, between the leopard-cuffed blazer, striped button-down, big leather belt, and crazy-colored miniskirt. It's surely a study on eclecticism, that we can all take notes on.
