FabSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:50:00 -0700

The melding of pretty and preppy has rarely looked so good as it does on twinklydust. Not only am I crazy over her rolled-up khakis, ruffle blouse, and lace-up sandals, but I also adore the mild yet stunning colors. Good job, girl!

Here's what she has on:
Top: J.Crew
Pants: J.Crew
Shoes: Dolce Vita

Congrats to twinklydust!

Fab Gift Guide: Gossip Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 03:00:08 -0800

I bet you have a friend or family member who's obsessed with Gossip Girl. I figured. This wannabe Blair Waldorf wishes she had the characters' lives, but since that's unlikely, their stuff will have to do.

This Hat Attack Wool Beret with Leather Bow ($45) will appeal to any preppy-chic girl in your life. It will make her feel like she's in NYC's Upper East Side, even in her bedroom. Fabulous.

These Crew Towels ($3.99-$7.99) from Linen and Things embrace the love for all things prep. Would you hang them in your bathroom?

Trend Setters: Preppy Pets Rock . . . Tennis Chic

PetSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:30:36 -0700

It's been a while since I've gave you a preppy update, but here I am with some tennis-inspired dog gear to celebrate the US Open.

If your dog's ready to play a game of fetch (and not a fan of dressing up), why not sub a simple prop like a collar or accessory? I especially love these visors – I thought I found every possible hat back on National Hat Day, but guess not . . . it's totally tennis prep for pups!

Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Claudia Schiffer walked her little girl Clementine to school, but she looked more like the student in her preppy-chic outfit. At first glance, the silk scarf and grey blazer can seem stuffy, but her J Brand Lovestory jeans, oversized sunnies, and patent Mulberry Bayswater bag ease it up a bit. Maybe it's because I watched Gossip Girl last night, but doesn't she look like a grownup, more kick-back version of Blair Waldorf?

Lizzie Blazer - $39.99	Stripe Knit Tee - $8.80
Stripe Silk Twill Scarf - $198.00	J Brand 22" Lovestory Bell Bottom Jeans - 72201 in Lapis - $179.00
Linea Paolo 'Lizi' Flat - $99.95	Sharkskin Tweed Satchel - $64.00
Oversize Rounded Sunglasses - $38.00

Fab Site: Rugby.com

Preppy meets cool at Rugby.com. Offspring of Ralph Lauren, Rugby.com offers a laid-back approach to preppy style. Classic (and sometimes stuffy) Ivy League staples are given an overhaul with bright colors and updated cuts. You can find an array of retailored polos, knits, sweaters, oxfords, chinos, denim, and, of course, rugby shirts that won't bore you. My favorite is the madras patchwork blazer - quite Fabtastic.

Celebrity Redo: Todd Oldham

PetSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:00:25 -0800

In big cities like the big apple, if you're taking public transit, hailing a cab, or trying to ~~sneak~~ bring a doggie into a shop, you're often only allowed if your pet fits in a carrier. But, I remember from one of our first PetMarking missions, there are plenty of cute cases out there for people to choose and use! I don't agree with dog-as-accessory, and I think putting a pup in your purse – a bag not sold specifically for pet purposes – can hurt both the doggie and the bag. Now, Todd Oldham's certainly a busy man – being the new creative director of Old Navy causes him to jet between NYC and SF and sometimes, I'd imagine, he just grabs the first bag laying around before running errands. While there's nothing wrong with his classic L.L. Bean Boat and Tote, but I'd love for him to express that preppiness with a petspecific version instead. If you want to see which carrier I have in mind, then read more.

First off, Todd's doggy does not look comfy in that bag – it's meant for groceries and magazines, and the little one can barely see out despite obvious neck straining. This sturdy Wagwear Boat Canvas Carrier includes a crucial leash attachment and buckle closure (for the squirmers) and a handy peek-ready slot to give doggies a good view. It comes in a rainbow of color combos and two sizes for around $100.
