Love It or Hate It? Anna Sui Mixed Prints V-Neck Caftan

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 05:00:22 PDT

Caftans can be highly exotic. Mary-Kate Olsen practically lives in them. But this Anna Sui Mixed Prints V-Neck Caftan ($944) takes exotic to a whole other level. I love the sheer fabric and dark colors. It's the contrast side panels and volume that are throwing me off. A petite girl would especially get lost in so much fabric. What do you think about it? Does it rock your world, or is it better left unworn?

Fab Finding Followup: Raise the Roof

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:00:08 PDT

The weather is still warm and I love it. Last week I attended a hotel rooftop pool party with a bunch of friends. I'm sure I'll cherish the memory come next season's gusty winds. Lots of splashing, drinking, munching, and some dancing were involved. Who was up for the challenge of dressing me? I asked you to help me find a super-cool bathing suit, sandals, a hat, and a coverup. Long live Summer!
I started you off with this Marc Jacobs Collection Carter Wristlet ($595) because all I needed to carry was cash.

Look #1, created by KikiM, is all about gold and earthtones. That Missoni caftan is hippie chic.

Life's a Beach: Cover Up in Style

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:00:22 PDT

No matter how hard your abs are or how toned your bum is, you have to cover up a bit before you hit the waves. OK, I suppose you don't have to, but with all the exotic coverups out there, why not have an outfit change? Blake Lively even covered up with a Tory Burch tunic on the set of Gossip Girl. Coverups are not limited to tunics though. You can wear a romper, sarong, sundress, or tank top. Choose the one that suits your style and give your audience something - your hot bikini bod! - to look forward to.

Celebrity Style: Mary-Kate Olsen

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:00:22 PDT

In last week's CelebStyle Smarts quiz, most of you knew the difference between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's style. Go you! As exemplified here, MK is the sister that doesn't mind looking a little tousled, and we appreciate her for that. The vintage Halston black bat-wing caftan she wore to the Late Show is floaty and flirty. She accentuated her tiny waist with a studded belt and fancied her feet with a pair of Louboutin pumps. Of course, she couldn't leave home with her signature small round sunnies.

Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Kaftan: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:00:22 PDT

My hunt for the perfect kaftan ended on this Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Kaftan ($615). I love the tie-up front and the vintage print takes me back to the days of peace and love. I can't help but wonder if the swirling prints and wide sleeves are over the top. What do you think?

Fab Site: Yves Saint Laurent Tribute to the Moroccan Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:00:22 PDT

Unfortunately, we all can't be at the Fondation Pierre Bergé in Paris to view Yves Saint Laurent's amazing exhibition on the Moroccan dress. Bummer. Though it's not the same as actually being in Paris, there is an online site where you can immerse yourself into the history and passions behind Yves Saint Laurent's masterpieces throughout the years. This site will allow you to view his tribute to the Moroccan dress with images of original jewelry and caftans from Marrakech dating back to the 1800s. The discerning eye will be able to recognize the point of inspiration from the original ethnic pieces to the genesis of Yves Saint Laurent's couture pieces. A truly inspirational and informational site for any hardcore YSL fan.

Trend Alert: Caftans

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 06:00:33 PDT

All this talk about Summer coming to an end be gone! There's still time to hit the beach, lounge poolside and wear all your favorite sundresses. If you need a boost to reinforce the laid back lifestyle that is Summer, a caftan is the definition of sunshine glamour. Some of you may be turned off by this classic cover up, thinking it's unflattering, but with the proper accessories - sassy espadrilles, oversized shades, fabulous beach bag - there's still time to sprinkle a little glam all over the world. Who was a fan of the caftan? Fabcon Jackie O was, 'nuff said.
