Patchwork Fur For Fall '12 - Into It or Over It?

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:34:29 PST

The colorful fur trend is showing zero signs of slowing down for Fall '12 - just two days into New York Fashion Week, and we've already spotted the look at BCBG and Peter Som. Although it's not the first time we've seen chromatic fur pieces pop up on the runways - Fendi, Bottega Veneta, and Diane von Furstenberg all showed the trend in past seasons - it definitely seems to have grown legs. Are you feeling this look? Let us know your thoughts below!

Looking for an easy-to-wear runway trend? Look no further than BCBG Max Azria, whose sleek ponytails and modern eyeliner are as chic as they are simple.

Allison McNamara — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:57:30 PST

We kicked off Fashion Week at the BCBG runway show, where we spotted sumptuous fur jackets and vests juxtaposed against silky colorblocked chiffon dresses. Backstage, Max Azria told us about his Fall 2012 collection, when he first fell in love with fashion, and how he's relaxing after all of his shows have wrapped - it's all in today's Fab Flash. On Allison McNamara: Madewell top, Madewell sweater, H&M blazer, Lia Sophia necklace.

BCBGMAXAZRIA 2011 New York Fashion Week Runway

FabTV — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:00:04 PST

For Fall 2011 Max and Lubov Azria opted for a minimalist approach to dressing, spiked with a touch of that '70s vibe. Fluid, unfussy dresses were accented by low-slung belts and stacked-heel boots, while bold brights were mixed into perk up streamlined silhouettes. We swooned for the vibrant blue and red hues, but watch the whole show here to see which looks you can’t live without!

Fab Finger Discount: BCBG Max Azria Metallic Shorts

Hannah Weil — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:17:05 PST

Not too long ago, I was in the market for a pair of sparkly shorts to wear around the holidays. Problem was, each one was more expensive than the next. So, regrettably I didn't have a pair to wear around for New Year's, but a month later I'm still after the style. So, when these BCBG Pleated Metallic Shorts ($30, originally $98) surfaced on sale, I scooped them up. Not only will they make as much of a statement at next year's NYE fete, I'd argue that they're even better-suited for Spring. Just picture them paired with a draped white tank and a chambray button-down - Jenna Lyons would be proud.

BCBGeneration's New Markdowns Might Just Be Too Good to Give Away

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 08:40:03 PST

When it comes to holiday shopping, I tend to operate by the "one for them, one for me" method - sometimes an item is just too good to gift someone without snagging one for myself, and this is definitely true for BCBGeneration's latest markdowns. Between the gold lamé party dress, tailored boyfriend blazer, and lace-up ankle boots, I'm thrilled with the selection - and with everything running under $150, I'm pretty sure my cart will be seeing double. Click through to see the 10 stylish pieces I'm extra excited about.

Color Combo to Try: Brown and Gray

Hannah Weil — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:00:03 PST

We never tire of revamping our wardrobes with color-coded inspiration, so we've spied another Fab combo to try this season. I can't think of a cozier palette than Cameron Diaz's brown and gray, two warm tones to double the appeal of Winter dressing. I'd belt a gray sweater dress ($188) with a wide brown belt, or tote a supple gray suede bag alongside a snugly brown cardi ($170). Any way you style it, this color combo has major staying power.

Trend Alert: Choppy Ruffles

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 07:00:05 PST

A deconstructed spin on the ruffled dress, the choppy ruffle is a little less dainty and a lot more rock n' roll. It's flatter in shape, and a bit edgier than its frilly counterpart. Zoe Saldana recently attended an event decked out in a midnight blue dress with choppy tiers and chic mesh inserts. She kept her accessories simple, and streamlined the look with a classic pair of Brian Atwood pumps. Try this updated twist yourself by shopping the pieces below.

Trend Alert: Sexy Black Lace

Hannah Weil — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 07:00:04 PST

A stylish coincidence is usually an indication of a larger trend at work in the fashion world. So, when Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Amy Smart, and Taylor Swift all selected sexy black lace for their respective events, we got the hint. This take on the LBD is ultrasultry, styled up with peekaboo, sheer panels or a smattering of sequins. And, while we acknowledge the tendency to shy away from the typical black dress during the holiday season, we'd hardly call this little stunner predictable.
