Look of the Day: Lady in Red

Fab reader The Hourglass must have been reading our minds when she styled this pretty Spring frock with a pair of tough leather boots.

Fab reader The Hourglass must have been reading our minds when she styled this pretty Spring frock with a pair of tough leather boots. Her girly red dress looks equal parts cute and quirky — and her piled-on accessories add an eclectic touch. She chose a skinny black wraparound belt, black chain-strap bag, bowler hat, layered necklaces, and striped bow for her hair. It's a cheery, fun ensemble that has a lot of elements, but still looks perfectly pulled together.

Congrats, The Hourglass!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might just feature you on FabSugar!

Chloë Sevigny and Opening Ceremony Present Five Dresses in Five Patterns

In her third season working with Opening Ceremony, Chloë Sevigny's design concept was focused on five dresses with five different prints. “These are prints that I always come back to,” said Sevigny. “It’s kind of a selfish collection, really.” The five looks—from Empire-waist shifts to baby doll dresses—are done in leopard, polka dot, paisley, houndstooth, or floral prints. In a series of mini collaborations within the Opening Ceremony collection, Sevigny also created t-shirts with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, boots with NaNa Shoes, sunglasses by Barton Perriera, and printed tights with Fogal.

Shopping: Erdem's Painterly Prints

Erdem Moralioglu presented a collection of romantic, highly decorated dresses and separates for fall 2009.

Erdem Moralioglu presented a collection of romantic, highly decorated dresses and separates for fall 2009. Floral prints with titles like Callie, Narciss and Autumn look fresh against fall's blacks and grays and—at very reasonable price points—are a great way to add a pop of color into your winter wardrobe. We especially love the classic travel vanity case made in partnership with Globe Trotter.
