The Bag to Have: Forever 21 Rio Exotic Clutch

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:00:22 -0800

The holidays are the perfect excuse to get glamorous. Carrying a Fab clutch is key when painting the town red. This Forever 21 Rio Exotic Clutch ($25) is impeccable for two reasons. Not only is beaded embellishment made for festive parties, but I can wear the slim chain strap cross-body style. That way, I can shake my groove thang without worrying about losing my purse!

Trend Alert: Collar Necklaces

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Spice up your Holiday ensemble with a collar necklace. This newfound adornment is a happy medium between the old school choker and the classic necklace. It takes form in a wide array of materials ranging from leather and studs to sparkly gems. These necklaces give off a modern Cleopatra aura and make for the perfect statement piece. I wonder if it'll grant me her magical man powers as well . . .

Fab Gift Guide: Cozy Chicette

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:11:22 -0800

The cozy chicette is all about the cozy life. But that doesn't mean she has to sacrifice style for comfort. When shopping for the cozy chica in your life, look for items with soft fabrics and fun embellishments. I highly recommend this Victoria's Secret Bootie Slipper ($45). Who can resist the fringe detail and super cushy lining? Not I.

Fab Gift Guide: Stylish Sis

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:00:08 -0800

The fun thing about shopping for a stylish sis is that it's like shopping for yourself. After all, you and her are two fashionable peas in pod, right? Such a cool sibling warrants a unique gift. I suggest choosing a fun novelty item or splurging on something she wouldn't buy for herself. An experimentally rad sis would love this Forever 21 Paisley Triangle Scarf ($7). Can we share?

Trend Alert: Kimono Cuts

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:00:08 -0800

There's something about kimono cuts that give off a Zen-like feel. Is it the wide sleeves or flattering shape? Or maybe it's the robe-inspired cut. Whatever it is, I dig it. Check out this McQ Bird Intarsia Kimono Dress ($293, originally $585). The foldover cut and funky print is the perfect mix of East meets West.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Vanessa Abrams

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Thanksgiving on Gossip Girl means Autumnal tones of browns, reds, and oranges. Check out how Vanessa showed off her holiday cheer in an array of colors and prints. The Brooklynite's expert layering skills are something to note. Her bold orange Forever 21 pea coat is the perfect contrast against her Anna Sui print dress. To punch it up, Vanessa adorned herself in pretty turquoise bangles and Alexis Bittar hoops. Note how she chose darker colors for her LnA leggings, Minnetonka boots, and bag.

Fab Gift Guide: Super Tween

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:00:22 -0800

If you have a Super Tween in your life, you know how hard it is to shop for her. She's ultra picky and disappointing her means major attitude, cue the rolling of the eyes. The key to pleasing the tween is to get her something colorful and sparkly, something none of her friends have. These Betsey Johnson Sequined Bangles ($35 each) she can show off in style.

Look of the Day: Modern Warrior

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Holleighz's stance is ferocious. What a way for the modern warrior to show off her billowy sleeves. The dark print is fun and I adore those scrunched booties. Armed and ready!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Betsey Johnson
Boots: Aldo

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:00:22 -0800

Did you remember to vote?! This year's monumental election wouldn't be complete without a celebration. No matter which way it goes, history will be made. I'll be attending a fabulous election party tonight, so I asked you to help me find a festive and patriotic look. Nothing cheesy, please!

I started you off with this Forever 21 Vote Tote ($11). It's the perfect statement piece — spread the word and rock the vote. Let's see what you all came up with.

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:00:22 -0800

I hope everyone had a Fabby Halloween! It looks like acablitas (far left) did. She represented one of her favorite movies, Troop Beverly Hills. Way to create a costume from the things you already own!

Here's what she has on:

Shirt: Mossimo
Shorts: Hollister
Hat: Forever 21
Blazer: DKNY
Belt: Express

Congrats to acablitas!

Trend Alert: Lacquer Me

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:00:08 -0800

With costume jewelry on the rise, it's no surprise lacquered jewelry has resurfaced. It's just so shiny, juicy, yummy. It can be either exotic or cheeky. And, it has a cool retro feel. Even Nicole Richie's House of Harlow dabbled in lacquer. It's also inexpensive, so there you go, lacquer me.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Election Party

FabSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 09:00:22 -0700

A Fabby Halloween: Tina Turner

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll is here to make your Halloween a blast. It's time to release that inner diva and shine as one of the sultriest female rockers in history. Tina is known for her legendary legs, lips, and hair, so play up those features in fringe and sequins — definitely something short, sexy, and playful. Maximize your stems in a pair of sexy high heels, don a shaggy Tina wig, and shake your bon-bon!

Look of the Day: Power '80s

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

The '80s were all about punches of bright color. Jaimisthejam got herself in the power '80s mood by throwing on a bold purple blazer over an all-black ensemble. Nice move. The orange bag adds further kick.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Thrifted
Dress: Thrifted
Purse: Thrifted
Boots: Thrifted
Rings: Forever 21

Congrats to jaimisthejam!

Look of the Day: Teacher's Pet

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:00:22 -0700

There's no shame in being teacher's pet when you look as cute as spharrell. Her long cardigan is preppy chic and reminds me of something Serena would wear in Gossip Girl. The bright necklace and shimmering shoes are just what she needed to take her outfit from simple to sizzling.

Here's what she has on:

Tank: Forever 21
Cardigan: Nordstrom
Jeans: Seven7
Shoes: Vince Camuto
Necklace: Unknown

Congrats to spharrell!

A Fabby Halloween: Jackie O

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

If you're looking for an effortlessly chic costume this year, look no further than Jackie O. Unfortunately she left us in 1994, but her legacy and style will live on forever. Among the signature pieces in Jackie's closet were oversize round sunglasses, pillbox hats, pearls, a khaki trench coat, black flats, bow headbands, and cropped pants. Clearly this woman loved fashion and the fashion world loved her back. Whether she was performing her first lady duties or vacationing on a yacht with her second husband Aristotle Onassis, Jackie was always put together — the world never caught her in sweat pants. Strut a day in this amazing woman's shoes; it might just change your fashion mentality forever.

Look of the Day: Tan Terrain

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

It looks like Candy Jo traveled the tan terrain today. Her peep-toe booties are adorable and go perfectly with her safari-inspired ensemble. Check out that plaid hat — cute!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Candies
Shoes: Steve Madden
Belt: Betsey Johnson
Bag: Gucci
Hat: Forever 21
Jewelry: Forever 21

Congrats to Candy Jo!

Celebrity Style: Kerry Washington

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Kerry Washington and her new bangs attended the Courage in Journalism Awards in Beverly Hills last night. The actress stunned in a light gray Peter Som corset dress that hugged her in all the right places. But the real star of the night was her gorgeous black rhinestone necklace. Wow. It sits perfectly on her smooth decollete and provides the right amount of pizazz. Black accessories elevate the look. Just lovely.

The Budget Shopper's Guide to Fall

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I shared my 10 Fall Essentials, but now realize it was a tad insensitive to dangle gorgeously expensive items at you when the economy is dire. To make up for it, I present the budget shopper's guide to Fall. It has similar items to my original list, only cheaper versions. You'll find nothing over $50. Does that sound good? Let's get the shopping festivities started with a jeweled stunner that adds spunk to any outfit.

A Fabby Halloween: Bonnie (and Clyde)

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0700

If you have a Clyde in your life, a fun couple Halloween costume I've always wanted to try is Bonnie and Clyde. Admittedly, the movie has some slow parts, but I just watch it to admire Faye Dunaway in her fast-getaway tweeds and berets, and to admire Warren Beatty's, well, face. No doubt they were the coolest couple of 1967, and they have a timeless appeal. The easy thing about this costume is that you probably already have a lot of it in your closet (or your mom's) already. But you need the blunt blond wig. And your beau will be happy because he gets to dress up as a dapper gangster. To go that extra mile, study how the handsome couple quarrels throughout the movie and bring the shooting drama to the party.

Trend Alert: Wild Scarves

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss may have been the originator, but check out that girl Kelly Osbourne. The transformed Brit is strutting her effortless style in a rockin' leopard scarf. That's right people, wild scarves are back with a ferocious roar. These felines add a punch of old school glamour to any ensemble and make for an amazing statement piece. Opt for minimalism and pair these print-heavy scarves with a neutral palette.

Trend Alert: Long and Lovely Beads

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:00:22 -0700

A subtle way to wear a bohemian rhapsody is by trailing some long and lovely beads around your neck. SJP has been advocating statement necklaces all year, here, she lightened things up with some bronze double stranded pearls. Pearls are a fine option, and there's so much more to play dress up with. Play away . . .

Trend Alert: Satin Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Lay down your leather and give satin handbags a whirl. The silky sheen and jewel-toned palettes give off instant swank — day or night. Clutches are always a classic choice but I dare you to try a larger shape. Or maybe a bejeweled one like this Devi Kroell Satin Frame Clutch? Swoon.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Rachel graced Barneys with her petite presence yesterday in LA. I wonder what she bagged? The actress dressed how I would for a serious shopping excursion — fashionably at ease. On top, she wore a loose floral blouse, and kept the rest of her look streamlined via faded skinny jeans, Chloe platforms, and a Pringle of Scotland slouch tote. Retro green Chanel shades add quirk and reveal that she doesn't take herself too seriously.

Look of the Day: Uncomplicated

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

You couldn't tell from the cute fit, but lilmoke14 is rushing to meet her mom for lunch. When in a time crunch, it's best to stick to basics and she pulls it off perfectly. Her look is simply uncomplicated. I like how the skinny brown belt and matching sandals pull everything together in one fell swoop.

Here's what she has on:

Cardigan: Forever 21
Shirt: Zara
Belt: Target
Sandals: Urban Outfitters
Bag: Unknown

Congrats to lilmoke14!

Trend Alert: Moody Florals

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 05:00:22 -0700

It's a dark and cloudy day, but you don't want to reflect that in your wardrobe. Moody florals should do the trick. Dark floral patterns are the perfect way to incorporate darkness with color. Check out Nicky's fun flowers and Alexis's sharp contrast, and who can resist Fergie's Gucci confection? Note how all three ladies are working different looks but one thing remains constant: the moody motif.

The Look For Less: Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:00:08 -0700

Last night's episode of Gossip Girl wasn't as juicy as the premiere, but there were enough scrumptious affairs to keep us on our toes until next week. As the Upper East Siders left the Hamptons, Serena and Dan couldn't seem to keep their paws off one another. Seriously, who could resist Serena's temptation and her fabulous frock? Her tie-dye Adam maxi dress looks hippie-chic. To complete the ensemble, a layered Margo Morrison necklace and Sigerson Morrison sandals. Her cute party look inspired me to find a similar, cheaper outfit.

Fab Finding Follow Up: TiVo Party

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

The many new shows on TV are keeping me quite busy. I can't be home every night to watch them, so that's where my TiVo comes in handy. I'm entertaining the thought of having a TiVo party with all my friends, but first comes the outfit. I asked you to help me find a look that would be comfy and cozy enough to endure hours of lounging on the sofa.

I started you off with this Delia's TVs Tee ($27) because it fits right in with the theme. Let's see what you came up with!

Look # 1, created by maria212134, has a nice relaxed shape. The wide waistband is key to vegging out.

The Look For Less: Celestina Ikat Clutch

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Like the rest of the world, I'm a big fan of ikat. What's not to love about this exotic, eco-friendly tribal print? I can see myself pairing this rad Celestina Ikat Clutch ($364, originally $910) with a sexy LBD and heels, but the sale price is still too rich for my blood.

Look of the Day: Playful Plaid

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Top of the morning, sydnei! You're looking mighty fabulous today in your playful plaid. I like how you accessorized your '90s grunge with a pair of gray booties and a fun black hat. I'm inspired.

Here's what she has on:

Hat: H&M
Shirt: Forever 21
Shorts: Forever 21
Boots: Unknown

Trend Alert: Tassel Necklaces

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Try to pry your eyes away from Ivanka's beautiful face and focus on her jewelry. Her tassel necklace is perfection defined. The clustered strands add a swinging, vintage quality to her ensemble, and look how it contrasts with her striking blue top.

These fun confections, which were in abundance at the Emmy Awards, come in all types of splendor. Go native and opt for a multi-colored beaded rendition, or keep it classic with a golden chain. Sway away . . .

Cheap & Chic: Stripe Your Cardigan

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:00:22 -0700

We typically see socialite Olivia Palermo in fancy frocks and shiny sandals, so her casual appearance at the opening of 7 For All Mankind's NYC boutique is a welcome change. A striped cardigan, no matter what color, has the ability to inject a dash of sportif into any outfit. Without the black and white cardi, Olivia's ensemble would have been just fine; but with it, she exudes nonchalant chicness. Stripes and cardigans are unlikely to go out of style, so put the two everlasting trends together and it's fashion magic.

Trend Alert: Into the Fold

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Time to get into the fold. Pleated, tucked, furrowed, whatever you want to call it, these gathered handbags will add depth to your look. The real beauty is you have options: tight, accordion-like folds have a rocker vibe while simple incisions stay crisp and clean. I think I need one of each.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Beach Boardwalk, in the Warm California Sun

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Last weekend I headed to Santa Cruz with the fam. We enjoyed the sun and roller coasters at the Beach Boardwalk, followed by a nice dinner. I was pretty worn out by dinnertime, but lucky for me, I had your help. I asked you to find a look that would do double duty from a day at the beach to a night on the town.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). It's cute, cheap, and protected me from the sun.

Look #1, created by hil34, will take me from sun to dusk. Smart to choose a hands-free messenger bag!

Back to Cool: Clueless

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

In high school, it's all about boys, popularity, and clothes. Yep, sounds about right. No movie portrayed that better than Clueless. In her most outstanding role, Alicia Silverstone played Cher, and along with her BF Dione, took newbie Tai under their wings and transformed her into one of the most coveted girls in school. All it took was a couple knee-high socks, short plaid skirts, platform pumps, and a Beverly Hills attitude. See, it's so easy to go from clueless to coolness. As if!

Back to Cool: Teen Queen, Molly Ringwald

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Molly Ringwald not only had dancing skills, the girl was the teen queen of the '80s. While crushing over Jake Ryan (so hot) in Sixteen Candles, being the not-so-popular girl in Pretty In Pink, or playing prom queen in The Breakfast Club, Molly ruled in her leather bombers, scrunched boots, frilly tops, and blazers. It's time to take your back to cool style, well, back in time!

I love day trips but usually end up looking pretty worn out by dusk. Help me find a look that will do double duty from a day at the beach to a night out on the town.

I'll start you off with this Forever 21 Straw Weave Rodeo Hat ($9). Cute and cheap. And this will definitely protect me from the sun.

Didn't I tell you red was making a comeback? Check out Isla Fisher and Olive looking sweet as cherry tomatoes in their matching garb. I'll focus on Isla since Olive is just a wee tike, (I'll let lilsugar handle her outfit).

Isla is simple but far from frumpy. The red top complements her gorgeous red hair and the cream and black vest adds a crisp finishing touch. Don't worry, having red hair is not a prerequisite to achieving this look!

Fab Finds of the Week: Autumn Crush

It started with boots and now the floodgates have opened. Looks like you are gearing up for an amazing Fall transition. I like how everyone strayed away from the usual black and kept it colorful in beautiful, soft tones. The Fab Finder of the week is sgopen, her Mackage Knitted Leather Jacket is gray, leather, and perfect. I can see myself wearing this day or night — great find!

Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!

Pair ink dark jeans with a light denim jacket, and vice versa.
Make it look like you mismatched your denim on purpose, like at D&G Spring '08 (pictured).
Look to trousers, blazers, and sharp cuts that will translate your mixed denim ensemble as modern.
Don't forget to check out the plethora of fun colored jeans available, too. The possibilities are endless!

Most of you despised this idea, but are you willing to try it out now?

Today is the start of the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing and I know what I'm doing tonight after my hair cut . . . I'm watching the opening ceremony! I'm excited for the Olympics; I enjoy the Summer sports more than the Winter games. Swimming, synchronized swimming, diving — anything water related — and gymnastics are on my schedule. Do you know anyone who's actually going to Beijing? Luckies. Let's put together a sporty, Olympic-inspired wardrobe for them to bring. Think this week's Project Runway, jackets and sneakers . . . red, white, and blue!

I'll start you off with this cute Forever 21 Olympic Retro Tee ($19); it's lightweight and celebratory, in a Fab way.

Trend Alert: The Top Handle Handbag

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:00:22 -0700

A structured top handle handbag instantly takes an ensemble from frumpy to fine. Take Kelly Osbourne: her ensemble looks pretty grungy — fabulously early '90s — but choosing to carry a top handle purse magically polishes off her overall look. Structured to perfection.

Celebrity Style: Sienna Miller

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Sienna is one tough cookie. The media magnet was spotted in LA, near her controversial man mind you, looking fresh and youthful in skinny jeans, a hippie top, and a lust-worthy leather tooled bag. I like how she proves the vintage look is still strong. But what really catches my eye is that gorgeous studded brown belt — what a statement piece! Leave it to Sienna to bring back the wide, hip-slung belt.

The Look For Less: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

It's been while since I featured Fab favorite Diane, so I needed my fix — you don't mind do you?

At the Tod's Fall shopping party in the Hamptons, Diane looked Summer stylish in a Derek Lam black tiered dress, a carefree headband, and a Tod's python clutch. Iced tea in hand, Diane looked the best at the event, but you don't even want to know how much her Lam dress was. And no need, I found a cheaper alternative with just the same amount of hippie chic and some equally fun accessories. We love you Diane!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Pajama-Rama

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last weekend's pajama party was overflowing with popcorn and fun. The girls and I had a blast sipping champagne as we watched teen flicks from the '80s and reminisced about the good old days. I know it sounds corny, but we even played truth or dare. Girls just wanna have fun.

I started you off with these UGG Australia Sheepskin Flip-Flops ($70) because I couldn't resist the decadently soft texture.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is pink all over. Love those polka-dot jammies!

Cheap & Chic: Plaid Button-Downs

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

We can all agree that $250 for a plaid button-down top is too much. Such was the case with Lauren Conrad's cute, albeit overpriced, Elizabeth and James shirt. Alas, plaid is already on the move to becoming a Fall frenzy, so get ahead of the trend on the cheap. I do, however, recommend teaming your plaid shirt with foxy high heels a la LC — this takes the look from totally geek to totally chic.

The Look for Less: Chloe Leather Shoe Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:00:22 -0700

When you're a celebrity, doing something as simple as picking up your dry cleaning is an opportunity to look your best. Take Mandy Moore for example; the starlet was in LA running errands in a pair of fabulously funky Chloe Leather Shoe Boots ($387, originally $645). They're worth every penny — I splurged and bought myself a pair — but it's my duty to let you know about this find.

The Look For Less: Ray-Ban Wayfarer

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

As I've preached, sunnies are the coolest accessory. Like so many, Kirsten Dunst has fallen back in love with the Ray-Ban Wayfarer ($139). This '80s revived trend is still going strong; only problem is I'm a stickler for shades and can't fathom spending that much on such a trendy piece.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Kite Runner

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Last weekend's kite-flying date was filled with windy, outdoor fun. I definitely wasn't up to par with The Kite Runner, but I gave my best effort. Don't worry, I didn't make a complete fool out of myself.

I started you off with this Forever 21 Tie Dye Headband ($4) because it was hippie chic and kept the hair out of my face. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is casual chic. I'm loving the menswear-inspired shirt.
