Celeb Style: Vanessa Hudgens

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:00:22 -0700

Vanessa was spotted in Santa Monica wearing Rachel Zoe's must-have accessory: the floppy hat! Notice how it elevates her cool burnout tee and denim combo. A pair of brown buckled wedges, layered gold chains, and a black Balenciaga satchel complete her casual cool Cali ensemb. I think I need a floppy hat, too . . .

Nice and New: Groovy Gypsum Candle Holder

CasaSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:00:00 -0700

Mother Nature can be oh so generous with her gifts, but it takes a creative mind to put a new spin on some of her already gorgeous creations. Crystal rocks, for example, make divine bookends but add a wire, bulb, and lampshade to them and they sparkle in more ways than one. Same goes for this Gypsum Candle Holder ($160). The likeness to candy makes it crave worthy, but I'm drooling over the chic style it brings to the table. Fire up the tea lights and dim the overheads for a swanky fireside chat.

Off to Market Recap: Everyday Tablecloth

partysugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:50:42 -0700

For the past two years I lived without a kitchen table. But, I've recently moved and I'm very excited because my new kitchen is big enough for a small table and four chairs! I found an amazing deal on Craigslist, and I'm the proud owner of a kitchen table. Now that I have a table, I want a pretty tablecloth. Thus, I've rounded up the best cheerful and Spring tablecloths the Internet has to offer. To share them with you, I bookmarked them in the Off to Market group in the YumSugar Community. My favorite tablecloth is this light-colored ikat-printed one by Horchow. It fits in with the Moroccan-inspired look of my studio apartment. For more tablecloths, browse the collection below.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Dazzling Evening

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:50:22 -0700

Looking to have a dazzling evening? Look no further than BeautifulnDirtyRich's snazzy ensemble. She shows us it doesn't take much to stun. A gold sequin dress is a must and equally important are touches of navy. So the next time you're tempted to pair gold with black, think again, think navy. Still eve-appropo, way more Fab.

Topshop for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer

FabSugarUK — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:30:15 -0700

La mode continues to be charitable this season as the latest Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign is launched at Topshop. This season a jersey vest has been created with a heart print that reads 'Love to Love'.

The item launches in-store and online on 29th March and will retail for £16 (with £5 from every vest sold going to the charity) and will be available in black and white. Charity pin badges and friendship bracelets will also be available.

The campaign originally launched in 1996 and has raised over £10.5 million for Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s vital research, campaigning and education work. It's such an easy (and stylish) way for you to do something charitable. Will you be buying this vest?

Online Sale Alert! Forever 21's Spring Clearance

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:00:22 -0700

One thing I love more than Forever 21 is a Forever 21 sale! The cheap, on-trend retailer has just announced its Spring clearance sale - in stores and online - with goodies marked up to a whopping 75 percent off. Since I'm saving up for a Vietnam vacay, I can shop without guilt. I'm pouncing on this Wild Leopard Silk Top ($11, originally $23) before it sells out!

The Fujifilm FinePix z700 Knows When Your Dog Is Smiling

GeekSugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:47:47 -0700

There's something special about the new FinePix z700 ($280). Hitting shelves later this month, the 12MP camera comes in four colors to suit your digital wardrobe, but also packs a punch with its 3.5 inch 16:9 LCD touchscreen so you can frame, edit, and upload your pics (and videos) in just a few steps. But the best part (well, at least for you pet owners out there) is that the FinePix z700 not only comes with face and smile detection for you and your pals to enjoy, but it also recognizes your furry friends' mugs. To hear more and to see more photos, just read more.

The first of its kind, the FinePix z700 comes with face detection for cats and dogs! When in auto-shutter mode, the z700 will automatically snap pics when Fido or Sassy face the lens, so you can get great images without having to worry about multitasking - holding treats and trying to frame your shot can get kinda tricky. Although trials indicate there are a few kinks to work out when using the pet mode, once it's ready to go, I'll be expecting some high quality shots in PetSugar's Pet Pic of the Day group!

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:36:22 -0800

Jewelry is the cherry on top of an outfit - it breathes life into anything it touches.

She showcases 33 jewelry designers who combine traditional techniques and modern methods to create the world's most unique bling.

Happy Hour: Grab Some O'Drools or Hiney Sniffen

PetSugar — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:00:28 -0800

On many nights, happy hour can't come quickly enough and, frankly, every hour is playtime for furry friends. So turn some time soon into your pup's happiest one and grab some bottles. These cute squeaky toys let a dog safely imbibe - well, chew - drinks named suspiciously similar as beers you'd recognize, but with a canine twist. (Case in point: Heineken sounds way more dog-appropriate as Hiney Sniffen.)

For the underage pooches or four-legged teetotalers, there are still nonalcoholic, nonalcoholic choices - like this Mountain ~~Dew~~ Drool. Bottoms up and order from the rest of the products in the widget below.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Daylight Savings Celebration

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:00:22 -0800

Daylight savings is this weekend - don't forget to update your clocks! In honor of more sunlight (woo hoo!), my friends and I are gathering after work for a drink, or two, or three. So since I'll be wearing this outfit from work to bar, it has to be versatile. My work wardrobe is totally casual; pretty much anything goes, as long as it's decent. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

I'll start you off with these Alexander Wang Cat Sunglasses ($325) because they'll keep my eyes cool and protected.
