eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 08:22:22 -0700

Fall is right around the corner ladies! You know what that means: it's time to start looking for key pieces, like this fabulous Vintage Navy Mod Cropped Jacket in XS/S. Navy is a big color for Fall so this jacket will help you fit right in, not to mention keep you warm (it's fully lined). I love the big round mod buttons and the cropped sleeves, but most of all, I love the slight sheen it has to it. What a great piece both for day and night!

The current bidding price is at $14.95 and the auction ends Sunday, August 5. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Cropped Jackets

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 08:45:01 -0700

If you're looking for a new look to try on this Fall, consider the cropped jacket. This shrunken, chic style is great for layering, since it helps balance out more voluminous pieces. This season's cropped jackets come in dozens of variations, with double-breasted buttons, angular cuts, and high necks. Here are some of my favorite finds at designer and non-designer prices.

Robert Rodriguez Ruche Sleeve Jacket, $429, available here.

Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Cropped Jacket, $407, available here.

Adam + Eve Cropped Formal Jacket, $325, available here.

Charlotte Ronson Pinstriped Cropped Trench, $238, available here.

Trend Alert: Cropped Sleeve Jacket

FabSugarUK — Thu, 22 May 2008 03:00:25 -0700

A long sleeved jacket can be too much during the summer months but no jacket at all may leave you cold, which is why those clever designers have created the cropped sleeve jacket. Hardly revolutionary but they're appearing everywhere this season following their appearance on the catwalk at Balenciaga. Topshop have channeled Balenciaga with this cute floral jacket (£45) but it doesn't have to so on trend. You could opt for a simple plain jacket for a chic timeless look.

If you're quite heavy on top then opt for a scoop neck style which will be more flattering. If you've got a boyish figure then a tight fitting style will give you more shape.

Trend Alert: Cropped Sleeve Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:22 -0700

You might say it's a fashion oxymoron to wear cropped sleeve jackets, but say again. These cropped creations give your arms the ability to move more freely and make for an expert layered look.

Imagine this trench with a long-sleeved blouse top peeking out the ends. Or, go mod and color block it with a bright red turtleneck. And if it's not too cold outside, wear it alone and load on the bangles. Au revoir oxymoron.

Trend Alert: Tailored and Cropped

Fabcon Zoe Kravitz is always in the fashion know, so it wasn't surprising to see her wearing a tailored and cropped tuxedo jacket from Alexander Wang's Fall collection. This shorter cut looks insanely cute against a long top - look at Zoe for inspiration - or when paired with a flirty frock. See, it's all about contrasting different lengths for a fun, new look. Are you down?

Back to Cool: Saved by the Bell

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Hands down, Saved by the Bell was my favorite after-school show. High school couldn't look cooler with Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle, and Jessie Spano. Of course, hotties Zach Morris (remember the huge cellphone he used to carry in his pocket?) and beefcake A.C. Slater provided hunky eye candy. And Screech, who could forget Screech? Loved him. I was only in grade school when this show debuted, so I could only dream of wearing Kelly's crop tops and Lisa's tight denim shorts - Jessie had legs for days in those washed out skinny jeans. The girls also fancied jean jackets, high-waist pants, and floral prints. Sigh, what I would do for a Freaky Friday experience with Kelly Kapowski circa '91 . . .

Fab Redux: Crop Circle

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:00:22 -0800

Crop tops tend to conjure up bad memories: the overexposed midriffs of the '90s, anyone?

Cropped jackets, on the other hand, have all kinds of class and sass about them. Especially when they come in Chanel-worthy boucle, like this 60s double-breasted version. It's boxy enough to look great over a slim-fitting dress or some hot, high-waisted jeans. Either way, it steers clear of tacky territory - something a crop top can't quite brag about.

The current bidding price is at $11.50 and the auction ends on Thursday (tomorrow!), Nov. 15.

The Look For Less: DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

There's something intriguing about a black jacket that has a hint of shine, like this DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket ($504). It's totally classy and sassy at the same time - a modern Coco Chanel would wear it well. Since most modern Coco Chanels are budget conscious, I hunted down a less expensive version that is twice as nice.

This Forever 21 Jewel Trim Tweed Jacket ($35) has the class and the sass, but not the high price tag. The square-shaped jewels are a bit bigger than the DKNY version, but they provide the perfect sparkle. The cropped sleeves are also fresh. Since the silhouette is on the classier side, I would make it cooler with a pair of lightwash jeans.

Fab Redux: The Cat's Meow

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Look what the cat dragged in! A cute little black wool jacket with a leopard print collar, that's what. The cropped sleeves would look Fab with long gloves and high-waisted jeans . . . dreamy.
