Anna Sui for FitFlop: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:25:22 -0800

I admit, I was never a fan of FitFlops, but now that the brand has enlisted Anna Sui to design a line of cozy boots, I might reconsider. FitFlop - known for designing footwear that's biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them - has collaborated with the bohemian designer to create these Shakoha Shearling Boots ($290). The line will be exclusively available at Net-A-Porter.com on Nov.11 and ShopIntuition.com starting Nov. 20. Are you loving them?

Trend Alert: Moccasin Boots

FabSugarUK — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:00:12 -0700

No footwear is more synonymous with Kate Moss than moccasin boots. In fact, if you google 'Kate Moss boots' then you get Minnetonka Moccasins as the first option! She has worn them for so long (since 2003 according to Minnetonka) that the trend has now come back around and once again I am left pondering whether to buy a pair!

Kate Moss looks awesome in them (but what doesn't she look great in?) but she isn't the only celeb to buy in to the fringed boots. Mischa Barton, Sienna Miller and Lauren Conrad have also worn the style for a boho look.

The best thing about this trend is that the boots are not too expensive. The exact style and brand that Kate has are only £91. You can get shorter ankle styles or go for the knee-high style like Kate. See below for some of the pairs currently available.

Minnetonka 289 Black Boots - £65.00	Jimmy Choo Wave suede boots - £387.00
Minnetonka 1428 Dusty Brown Boots - £90.00	Minnetonka 1632 Brown Boots - £110.00
Tan Fringe Moccasin Boots - £65.00	Penny Loves Kenny Fringe Moccasin Boot - £60.00
ANDO Fringe Moccasin Boot - £60.00

Supersize This: Minnetonka Boots for Baby

babysugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:00:57 -0800

I love winter for one reason – boots. I like to wear them and naturally adore when my daughter does too.

These darling Minnetonka boots ($19) made me swoon. I bought them in the light suede color since they match most of my wee one's wardrobe. If I can find them in my size, I just might match my tot!

What a way to start my Monday. Amelioratelj's picturesque pose stopped me dead in my clicks. The cutie turned her outdoor adventure into a beautiful photo op wearing a camel jacket, black dress, and custom-made moccasins - amazing. Check out how the light reflects off her ravishing red locks. Majestic.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Luxe
Jacket: Kohl's
Necklace: Denver Museum of Nature and Science
Boots: Catskill Mountain Moccasins

Congrats to amelioratelj!

The Rainy Day Solution: Hunter Wellies!

Fab Community — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

I'm always on the lookout for cute rain boots. Check out dany92's awesome find in our Fashion Passion group.

The leaves are starting to change colors, an umbrella is becoming your new best friend, and your nice suede moccasin boots start to feel the abuse - what's the fashionable solution? Hunter Gum boots! These boots are sleek, chic and don’t really look like wellies. You can without a doubt, wear them with your favorite pair of jeans, tucked in, and they will have a very urban, I am going hunting with Prince Charles this afternoon look. To be totally honest, Hunter boots are the real deal, the Rolls Royce of wellies - and they come in a cute, fun array of colors. My favorites? The pink pair and the black – so classy and versatile. I could possibly go for the timeless black, forest green, or navy option, although all the colors are Fab. Hard to make up my mind . . . If Kate Moss can rock these boots and get rave reviews in Vogue, I'm sure any fashion-conscious girl can pull these off.

Fab's November Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

These rad, red Balmain suede booties are helping me battle my post-Halloween depression. Thank goodness for Balmain, right? The rest of my November picks are either cozy or cozy chic; it's finally time to stow my sandals and lightweight jackets and reunite with my bodacious boots and tights. I admit: I missed them. Furry hats, cool jewels, and Sienna Miller-inspired moccasin boots also made the want list.

Great Anatomy: Pregnant Ellen Pompeo Is Fit and Fabulous

babysugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:00:15 -0700

On-screen and off, actress Ellen Pompeo has always been understated in her fashion and beauty choices that made her more attractive in my eyes. Before pregnancy, her thin frame and natural look created the perfect canvas for fashion forward looks, but her new curves have added an extra glow and style to her existence. Looking better than ever, the mama-to-be is even making my girl Fab look forward to pregnancy... now that's sayin' something!

In lieu of frumpy frocks, the Grey's Anatomy star often chooses both frame fitting and flowy black dresses and tunics and accents them with Grecian sandals and gold laden hobo bags. When she's not working out in her spandex, she rocks tie-dye dresses and moccasin boots for a casual look. A maternity role model to expectant ladies, I'm sure her mini me will be sportin' some pretty stinkin' cute threads, too!

Make the Honor Role With Hip Styles For Girls

LilSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Even lil girls who are fussing about returning to school take some delight in picking out their first day of attire. Careful planning and discussions with friends will likely take place leading up to the first day back. Before heading to the mall, or clicking open a new computer window, check out our picks for some of the hottest styles for girls this year.

White House Style – The Obama girls' love of classic looks, and Crewcuts, will serve as inspiration for many girls this season. Copy the look with a ruffled cardigan, an A-line cord skirt and a traditional rubber rain boot to keep her tootsies dry.
Layers and Layers – Add some depth to your kiddo's look by layering pieces together. Start with a basic foundation, like a pair of skinny jeans, add a blouse and vest – which is all the rage this year – and finish the look off with some moccasin-inspired boots that fit snug over her jeans.
Leggings All the Way – The leggings craze is far from over, with this year's styles boasting buttons, zippers and patterns. Top off a pair with a striped tunic and some comfortable ballet slippers for a chic and casual look.

Enter to win a $1,000 wardrobe for your child from Tea Collection!

Trend Alert: Fringed Sandals

FabSugarUK — Fri, 08 May 2009 10:00:49 -0700

If the thought of revealing your ankles this Summer is enough to put you off wearing sandals or exposing your legs then fashion might just be on your side! This Summer I have noticed a lot of fringed flat sandals on offer which offer a hiding place for your ankles.

If you're a fan of moccasin boots, then these are a great Summer alternative and I can imagine Kate Moss rocking a pair. You could try teaming them with cut offs and a rock band t-shirt for a great festival look.

I particularly like Steve Madden's Hippster style (£70), which would look great with denim. I also like the studding detail on Topshop's Hugo sandal (£22), what do you think of this Summer shoe?

Suede ankle fringe sandals - £25.00	Suede Stud & Fringe Short Sandal - £30.00
