Fab Finding Follow-Up: Aspen Food & Wine Classic

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:50:22 -0700

YumSugar's heading to a three-day extravaganza at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this week and needed our fashion expertise. She'll be attending oodles of foodie soirees, so I asked you to come up with something beautiful and unique. She had two rules: nothing tight and nothing white - what happens if something spills? Smart. Dresses are nice, but I wanted you to feel free to play around with skirts and cute tops. The weatherman also predicted a chance of rain, so a cool jacket was required.

I started you off with this Calvin Klein Sarika Platform Pump ($98); the simple style gave you room to play with color and creativity. Let's see YumSugar's favorite outfits!

Look #1, created by Zivanod, is perfect for Yum. I adore the color combination and fun tights!

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:00:22 -0700

sandra werner utilized her impeccable styling skills today and wore a teeny, tiny LBD as a top - now that's what I call fashion improv! I like how she paired it with a cardi and slim skirt for a polished look and as always, her accessories are Fab! Come back soon and tell us what you have on . . .

Congrats to sandra werner!

Look of the Day: Sassy Lady

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0800

Spharrell looks like a sassy lady in her sophisticated attire. I like how she paired her new denim skirt with a printed top. Her accessorizing skills are also a force to be reckoned with. The layered chains, opaque tights, and burnt sienna platform pumps pull her whole look together.

Here's what she has on:

Top: TJMaxx
Skirt: Elle
Pumps: Style&Co.
Necklace: Unknown

Congrats to spharrell!

The Look For Less: Christian Louboutin Rolando Platform Pumps

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Remember how I wanted Victoria Beckham's ravishing red Loubs? Well, I decided to do something about it. While I can't afford these fabulous Christian Louboutin Rolando Platform Pumps ($700), I can certainly aim for a similar style.

These Type Z Red Pumps ($79) were sent to me from the shoe gods. The shape is dead-on and so is the color. This cheaper pair is right up my alley. Watch out, Victoria!

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!

Marni Satin Platform: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 08:30:22 -0700

I'm all for platforms, but these babies are some platforms and a half. The front is getting so chunky on these Marni Satin Platforms, $610, it's starting to look more like a yummy chunky chocolate bar rather than the fabulous Marni shoe that it is. Moderation is key, for most things at least, and I'm thinking this might be a little much for me. What about you?

Fab Body Guide: Slenderize Thick Ankles

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 17:00:22 -0700

We all have some body parts we love to show off, and some we can't help but cover up. The good news is there are solutions to most fashion problems! I have had a few girls vent to me about having thick ankles and wondering what shoes they should wear to help slenderize the situation. Here are three styles that are all different and help thin out thick ankles. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more suggestions!

T-Strap Heels

This shape draws the eye in and down, so ankles appear leaner. The opposite of a t-strap would be a slingback, which make ankles seem rounder.

Nine West "Rerdell" T-Strap Sandal, $89	Jean-Michel Cazabat Glitter T-Strap Sandals, $475
Martinez Valero Women's Chacha Sandal, on sale for $84 (originally $127)	Christian Louboutin T-Strap Sandal, $660
O Oscar de la Renta black patent leather t-strap sandals, on sale for $53 (originally $89)	CARLOS by Carlos Santana Temptress (Blue Patent), $96
Martinez Valero Women's Chacha Sandal, on sale for $84 (originally $127)	Banana Republic Cork t-strap wedge, on sale for $40 (originally $70)	Matisse Women's Meow T-Strap Pump, on sale for $55 (originally $113)

Mary Jane Flats

These are the best kind of flats to slim ankles because the strap across the width of the foot makes the rest of it appear skinny by comparison.

Dolce Vita Open Toe Mary Jane Flat, on sale for $55 (originally $110)	Kenneth Cole Reaction 'Off To Paris' Flat, $49
Dolce Vita 'Moritz-3' Flat, $95	Donald J Pliner 'Henna 2' Flat, $210
Miu Miu Bi-color flat shoes, on sale for $160 (originally $320)	Franco Sarto 'Aria' Mary Jane, $70

Platform Pumps

A chunky platform adds some heft to your sole and ends up creating a more balanced proportion.

Trend Alert: Platform Pumps

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 08:37:40 -0700

I couldn't be happier about all of the platform-style pumps that are trotting out for Fall 2006. Not only do these styles make your legs looks shapely and long, but they are also surprisingly easy to walk in, thanks to a thick heel and stacked toe bed. The glamorous, 1940s style looks great with dress pants, pencil skirts, and skinny jeans. I've rounded up some of my favorite platform pumps in both peep-toe and closed-toe styles.
