The Look For Less: Prada Stud Bow Ballet Flats

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

I know bow flats have been around forever, but I recently became smitten with these Prada Stud Bow Flats ($530). What I don't love, however, is the high cost. The soft bow and studs are desirable - the price tag, not so much.

These Jessica Simpson Betrice Stud Bow Flats ($69) are more like it. Sure, they're not Prada, but they're equally black, suede, and have gold studs sprinkled over the soft bows. Plus, the price is just right. Bow-tiful!

Blake Lively in Bow-tiful Marchesa: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

It's clear by now: Blake Lively loves low-cut. At the NYC premiere of her latest flick, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, the actress wore one of the most plunging tops she's worn in a while. But, the long sleeves of the Marchesa jacket, as well as that big whimsical bow, keep her from being too risque. Black shorts show off her long stems and white pumps bring the look full circle. Do you fancy it?

Fab Finger Discount: Ralph Lauren Red Bow Sandals

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Say hello to my new sassy babies: these Ralph Lauren Red Bow Sandals ($75, originally $255). I wasn't lying when I told you I was feeling whimsical. They're such lookers, I couldn't not share the wealth. I figure, with the holidays on the horizon, they would be the perfect bold accessory. The heel is high - 3.9 inches! - but for that reasonable price and darling look, I'll suck it up. If you're color shy, they also come in black, but I highly encourage the red.

15 Ways to Add Whimsy to Your Wardrobe

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Whimsical, playful, comical, eccentric - all ways to describe giving into fanciful notions. Polka dots, bows, sequins, animals, and ruffles are all ways to amuse yourself. I have been in a whimsical fashion mood lately - perhaps Louis Vuitton's bunny ears, coupled with Mary-Kate and Ashley's lace ears, spawned it. And it's so much fun! I encourage all you fashion fans to dabble from time to time. Just one disclaimer: limit your whimsical item to one or two at a time, unless you to want to scream fashion freak.

January Jones's LBD With Boob Bows: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Mad Men star January Jones attended a cocktail reception thrown by AMC in Pasadena last night. The actress definitely takes risks on the red carpet, but I don't think I've ever seen her rock a sheer LBD. The strategically placed bows can either be perceived as cute or distracting. She's not wearing any other accessories besides her metallic sandals. What do you think of this look - adorable or annoying? Oh, and if you dig her chic cocktail makeup, get the look.

Who'd ever think to mix bows and dots? turquoisepassion did and she looks amazing. I like how she balanced out her bright dots with a sleek blazer but she really took it to the next level with the exaggerated bow detail in the front. Way to think outside the closet!

Dress: Asos
Blazer: Armani
Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: DIY

Congrats to turquoisepassion!

I love bows, I love gladiator sandals, but do I love them together? I'm not so sure. This Marc Jacobs Bow Glitter Sandal ($535, originally 897) is certainly cute to look at, but is it too cutesy to wear? I'm torn - help me decide.

Oscars Trend Alert: All Tied Up in Bows and Knots

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Bows and ties and knots, oh my! On this year's Oscars red carpet, Amanda Seyfried, Tilda Swinton, Heidi Klum, Freida Pinto, and Jessica Biel were well-fastened with bold, over-sized bows and subtle, delicate knots. Seyfried's festive red Valentino gown won't secure her a gold statuette, but it's certainly given "It's a wrap!" a whole new meaning. Take a bow . . .
