Ashish Sequined One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

Online Sale Alert! Summer Sale at M Z Wallace

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Based on the major sale happening, it appears M Z Wallace is looking to clean up shop. And who can blame them for wanting to do a little Summer cleaning? I'll certainly reap the benefits! If you remember, last August I was breaking in my new M Z, and I'm itching to add another to my collection. This year, I've got my eye on the snake print Ella ($148, originally $295). Cute, but sssssassy.

2007 American Music Awards: Queen Latifah

You know I am a fan of animal prints and I think Queen Latifah totally pulls this off! The cut of the dress is conservative but the print is anything but. And because the leopard print is small it's even more flattering. Well done Queenie.

Fab's October Most Wanted

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 06:00:22 -0700

There is one thing that I think of when October rolls around: Halloween! It makes sense for the Fab favorite holiday to be the holiday where you are required to dress up and be someone else for a night right? Halloween is the time to get creative with garb and prove to the world you can be sexy, scary or funny - in excess. Me? I usually go for sexy, since I'm fairly buttoned up the other 364 days of the year. More Halloween inspiration is in the near Fab future, but in the meantime, here are some favorites to get me in cold weather fashion shape.

So I mentioned I'm fairly buttoned up most of the time, but I do love me some animal prints, and this Banana Republic Silk animal-print top, $48, is a beaut.
Call them go go boots, call me lover. These Bottega Veneta Patent Boots, $990, are hot and I dig the stacked heel. For days I'm not feeling so retro, a glimpse under some dark denim boot cuts is very Marianne Faithfull.
I'm sorry, but these Yves Saint Laurent Charlotte Pumps, $495, are fine. In person, they're finer. And all things considered - YSL, fine leather, unique architectural wooden heel - that price is not too exorbitant.
Nothing says cozy chic like a layering piece such as this Lux Fairisle Sweater Dress, $58.
I'm not an advocate of leggings, except in times of travel, so these Vince
Side Zipper Pants, $195, are a cool alternative.

Fabworthy: Banana Republic Silk Leopard Print Top

If you're a Wild Thing, do your inner animal a favor and consume this Banana Republic Silk Leopard print top, $68. What makes this blouse a stand out is that it's so feminine and tame compared to some of the more randy animal-print styles out there. The gathered scoop neckline, the capped sleeves and the muted colors give this effect. This blouse will satiate your inner animal and Glamour Girl all at the same time!

Foley for Foley + Corinna Zebra Tank Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Rc630 posted this Foley for Foley + Corinna Zebra Tank Dress, $495, in the Love It or Hate It? group for us to judge.

Let me start: I've never been a zebra-print gal, especially when it's combined with sequins. I think the dress would have been more wearable if it weren't for multi-colored bead detail at the left side. What do you all think?

Well-tamed Animal Prints

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:32:00 -0700

Every couple of years, the fashion world declares that animal prints are "in," and each time, I just can't seem to embrace the look. No matter how pricey the animal prints are, they always end up looking like something you'd wear to a Mississippi casino. One exception: This season's animal-print shoes and handbags from Donald J. Pliner. The designs use leopard and giraffe patterns sparingly and temper them with edgy red and black leather accents for a hip, urban effect.
