Fab Redux: Fast Florals

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

I am continually convinced that you can create a unique look with the fast addition of a Fab accessory. If you only have time to throw on an LBD or a white tee and jeans, grab and go with this Silk VERA scarf ($18). It's light and airy, and the green apples and pink flowers will add some flair to your on-the-go outfit. Fast food? No thanks. Fast florals.

Emilio Pucci Striped Star Scarf: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I've been starry-eyed all Spring, but this Emilio Pucci Striped Star Scarf ($277, originally $395) looks more like a starfish than something I'd want to adorn myself with. But starfish are really cute. It's Pucci, it's unique, but is it you?Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here! To post your selections go to the Love It or Hate It? group.

Nili Lotan Photo Print Scarf: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:00:22 -0700

The melding of art and fashion is in full effect — hello, Louis Vuitton and Murakami — but I don't know how I feel about having photos of war protesters wrapped around my neck. I have the utmost respect for designer Nili Lotan's political statements but is Nili Lotan's Photo Print Scarf ($150) something you would wear? Scarf-happy Fabbies, what do you think?

Come Fab Finding With Me: Calling All Sugar Extras!

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:00:22 -0800

A few of the Sugar girls are going to be extras in Milk, the '70s-themed biopic with Sean Penn, James Franco, and Diego Luna! Since the film is retro and set in the '70s, they have some strict wardrobe restrictions.

The costume designer is asking for nothing too costumey and nothing with a visible brand name: their clothes have to look authentic, so no materials or denim that looks too modern. Think simple flare or straight leg jeans, corduroy, suede, wool sweaters, fringe, and leather boots, and help them put together a film-worthy look.

I'll start you off with this Urban Outfitters Nubby Striped Scarf with Lurex ($1 because it adds a little flair. Come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Sugar extras.

Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab-Finding missions.

Crazy prints are where it's at for Spring, so why not get a headstart with this fun vintage dotted scarf ($16)? It looks perfectly fine wrapped around the neck, or as a headscarf, and the red and cream pattern lends just the right amount of whimsy to any Winter day.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 00:22:22 -0800

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 06:00:22 -0800

Sometimes cozying up in a scarf is definitely all it's wrapped up to be — Royal_Red proves this. Her vintage scarf is totally adorable, especially with a full mini-skirt, knee-high boots, and thigh-high socks. I love the color combination too; it's not one you see every day.

Here's what she's wearing:

Turtleneck: American Apparel

Mike & Chris Hooded Scarf: Love It or Hate It?

At first glance, this Mike & Chris Amos Lightweight Hooded Scarf ($172) looks foreign; almost like a chador that Iranian women wear. But I understand where Mike & Chris is coming from because with so many scarves out there, it's hard to stand out. Walking around in this will surely make you different from the crowd.

Definition: Keffiyeh

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 08:00:22 -0700

Keffiyeh

A traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure.

Recently, men, like Joshua Jackson, and women, like Diane Kruger (left), have been seen wearing keffiyehs as fashion accessories.

Couldn't have said it better myself: "have Missoni, will ace interview!" That's what SummerWintour had to say about her all wrapped up ensemble. Clad in a gorgeous Missoni scarf, purple tee and high-waisted pencil skirt, I have no doubt that she's right!

Style For Style: Stylish Solutions for Broken Bones

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:00:22 -0700

I was taking the subway home after work the other day when I came across my inspiration for this Style for Style. An impeccably dressed girl had a cast on her arm. Only, it was no regular boring arm brace. Like a true fashionista, she had covered her cast with a black velvet fabric and it meshed with her all-black ensemble. Let me tell you, it looked très chic! So it got me thinking: what's a stylish girl to do if she has a broken limb, a scratch or a bruise? Why, her fabulous life must go on...

Look of the Day: Swathed in Scarf

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 06:00:22 -0700

I've said it before and I'll say it again: one great accessory can add that certain something to an otherwise simple outfit. Neekoh, swathed in scarf, provides testimony to one of my favorite style adages. Simple white tank, blue jeans, and cute brown sandals, all polished off with a Fab colorful plaid scarf - she goes from nondescript to wow in two seconds.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Zara
Jeans: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Victoria's Secret
Scarf: Urban Outfitters

Congrats to Neekoh!

Fab's August Most Wanted

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 04:50:22 -0700

It's about that time ladies. It's about that time to start thinking of transitional outfits. For many, August is a blistering hot month, but if you're anything like me, you've got your eye on some cooler temperature garb already. Now I know I said I was on a shopping freeze, but here are some items I thought would be great transitioners, and a couple are just awesome deals I had to share!

If you haven't already hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary sale you're missing out. Fall goods, like this French Connection 'Mystify Me' Satin Shift Mini Dress, on sale for $100 (originally $15, are already marked down. I am a purple people eater (you know what I mean) and I thought I'd give sheen a try with this sweet dress - and how perfect would it look with some textured tights and these...
Circa Joan & David 'Sage' Oxford Pumps, on sale for $85 (originally $129)? Oxfords are all the rage and I like how these are grey and not black; they're more moody rather than preppy.
I am so over skinny jeans! I know I've been preaching wide legged jeans for months now, and I dig the texture and perfect cut of these Joe's Jeans Muse Wide Leg Jeans, $159.
I'm beginning to think a gal can't have too many scarves. They add a dash of color and a bit of cuddle and this Buffalo Plaid Scarf, $20, has FIT alum written all over it.
Last but certainly not least, a new buttery handbag to lift me into back-to-school mode. Nothing says I'm ready to hit the books and show off my Fab fashion sense like a Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Shopper, $468, in a drop-red color.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 13:00:22 -0700

What I love most about scarves is that they are super versatile. They can be worn on the head, tied on to your bag to have, as neck gear and, if large enough, as a top or belt.

This Vintage 1960's Polka Dot Satin Scarf caught my eye because unlike so many cutesy polka dots, it's quite chic. It's also very nautical chic and would look great with a red and white nautical top! Clad in that very outfit, you'll be ready to hit the beach and set sail!

The current bidding price is $9.99 and the auction ends on Thursday, July 26. Good luck and happy bidding!

On Our Radar: Louis Vuitton White Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 09:50:22 -0700

Calling all Louis Vuitton addicts! LV's white hot summer collection is out and it's just waiting to be worn under the sun. There's so much to choose from, like this Love Scarf, $195, already fab found by Southern_gal. It is so simple and feminine, and would look fab as a headscarf or a handbag accessory. Go see more of the collection, but hurry because these goods will sell fast!

Look of the Day: Lovely in Layers

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:30:33 -0700

I'm a sucker for layering so Biochick's lovely in layers ensemble caught my eye right away. This is the cutest a gal who's going to take an exam has looked! I adore the scarf and the effortless way she wrapped it around her neck a couple of times. The use of the colors white, black and yellow is also very current and hip.

Here's what she has on:

Scarf: Esprit
Black Cardigan: Gap
Yellow Tank: TNA
White Tank: Club Monaco
Jeans: Esprit

Congrats to Biochick!

Tie One On

malibu stacey — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:49:01 -0700

There may be few things more classic in fashion than an Hermes scarf. Grace Kelly once used her's as a sling for her broken arm. Miranda Priestly, the Devil in "The Devil Wears Prada," considered them so essential, she never left home without one. (Even if she did treat them as disposable tissues!)

Once you've made the $350 investment, however, you may be wondering what to do with the thing?
