The Look For Less: Miu Miu Silk Triangle Bra

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

What says sexy time to me? Lace bras, specifically ones like this Miu Miu Silk Triangle Bra ($320). The fact that it doesn't have an underwire makes it so delicate, and the combination of lace and satin is quite delectable. I would totally wear it to bed and out as a visi-bra. Too bad it's so darn pricey.

How darling is this Aerie Chiffon Trim Bralette ($20)? It exudes romanticism like the Miu Miu bra, only it has different colors and a totally different price tag. I love the mix of sapphire and black, but it also comes in pink and black, or ivory and black.

Trend Alert: Pin It

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

Move over studs, there's a new embellishment in town: safety pins. These pins have broken out of their sewing kits and into our wardrobe via sparkly earrings, printed tops, bracelets, and slick blazers. America Ferrera feels me. Her Moschino crepe dress would be a safe LBD if it weren't for that amazing safety pin embellishment - such a burst of fun! How punk would you be if you DIY'd your own safety pin creation? All you need is a lot of safety pins and a little imagination. So what are you waiting for? Pin it.

Trend Alert: Patterned Tights

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I've heard friends say they're one of those things that are fun in theory, but dicey in reality. And don't plain black tights seem so . . . boring? Exhibit A: Diane Kruger at the ELLE Women in Hollywood awards. Even though her Balenciaga dress had a marbelized print, she opted for Swiss dot hose and a hot pink clutch. Sometimes more is more, and that means you shouldn't hesitate to whip out those striped, dotted, or zigzag tights you've been jonesing to wear. Patterned tights add depth, texture, and spunk to any ensemble.

A Fabby Halloween: Wild Thing

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Every little kid, and big kid, is excited for Spike Jonze's film adaption of the endearing book Where The Wild Things Are. Opening Ceremony may possibly be the most stoked, its Wild Thing collection is awesome. The film releases soon - Oct. 16 - and I realized it's an easy, adorable, fabulously fuzzy Halloween idea. You may already have some furry boots or a fur vest, and really, the furrier the better. Add some spiked jewelry and tribal touches and go wild.

Get ready for lots more Halloween ideas as my Fabby Halloween series '09 takes off. Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Before heading to her son's hockey game, canadiancutie snapped a quick photo of her clever getup. Not only does the layered lady look pretty but cozy too. I'm digging the boyfriend jeans and exotic scarf. Sportswear done right.

Here's what she has on:

Scarf: H&M
Jeans: American Eagle
Shoes: Aldo
Jacket: Old Navy

Congrats to canadiancutie!

Online Sale Alert! Clearance at American Eagle

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

It's been a while since I raided American Eagle's clearance section. It has some good stuff: laid-back tees, flirty frocks, trendy jeans, and more. This American Eagle Polka Dot Cardigan ($40, originally $45) is too cute. It reminds me of something Sonia Rykiel would send down her runway paired with a flirty black circle skirt.

The Look For Less: Nordstrom Chain Bracelet

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Have you succumbed to the chunky chains trend? I have, and I already own a gold chain bracelet, so naturally I need a silver one. This Nordstrom Silver Chain Bracelet ($34, originally $58) is sleek and sophisticated. It's such a simple design, there must be something else out there!

Ta-da! This AE Chain Link Charm Bracelet, ($12, originally $16) is more up my alley. If that heart charm bugs and reminds you too much of Tiffany, just go ahead and plier it off. Now I can buy a couple more and stack 'em for maximum marvel.
