Look of the Day: Bundled-Up Beauty

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Gomi is a bundled-up beauty in her layered ensemble. Notice how she creatively played around with lengths by pairing a long sweater coat with a short skirt. I also spy an adorable pair of Marni Mary Janes. Kudos!

Here's what she has on:

Top: Development
Sweater: Jenny Han
Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Marni
Scarf: Banana Republic
Tights: Hue

Congrats to gomi!

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

Trend Alert: Black Tie Not Optional

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Whether with chain necklaces piled on top, as our example Lindsay Price flaunts, or simply untied, this invitation reads black tie not optional. The black tie detail is the pivotal player here, delivering a masculine/feminine message. Not so into bows? Here is a laid-back alternative. If you exercise your option, do like Lindsay and pile on some glitzy bling, and keep the rest sexy and sleek.

Style Glossary: Chevron

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:30:11 -0700

Chevron

No, not the gas station, but rather, a V design created by woven contrasting colored V design or printed V design. Designers often create a chevron design by cutting a stripe on the bias. Missoni often incorporates chevron in its dresses, tops, and pants.

If this funky pattern agrees with your taste, get this Development Zanadu Flutter Sleeve Blouse ($260).

Debut Boutique is making its debut on Fab with a Summer cleaning sale. Cool dresses, blouses, shorts, and bags are all up to 75 percent off the original retail price.

How darling is this Development Mauve Silk Shrug ($94, originally $237)? It would serve as the ideal cover up on a hot evening. The new discounted price is quite darling, too!

Celebrity Style: Becki Newton

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Forget, for a second, the fact that Becki Newton needs some matte control, and focus on her from the neck down. I love her almost all - but not really - black look. The blue sequin panel running down her Development dress is a fresh take on all-over sequins and a good option for those who like shine in small doses. The ivory shoes aren't my favorite, but her stacked bangles, black patent clutch, and satin jacket draw most of the attention anyway.

Trend Alert: Black Eyelet

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Eyelets have taken on a new color - black. The traditional eyelet has been associated with Raggedy Anne dowdiness and hot Summer days but has since gone way of the dark side; evoking a sexier, mature look. See Victoria Beckham wearing a flirty, black eyelet Milly dress. Sidenote: Milly, really? Cool Posh.

Trend Alert: Mochachinos

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 08:00:22 -0800

While I am more of a Chai latte girl, these ladies are making me yearn for a Mochachino. If you looked in my closet the least color you will see is beige or camel or tan - you get my point. When I feel like going colorless I prefer black or grey. But always one with an open mind about fashion, I may reconsider. Rachel, Sarah and Emma prove a sip of a Mochachino does provide quite a jolt.

Trend Alert: Peek-a-Boo You

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

I have a tendency to seriously cover up when the weather is gelid. In an effort to let our skin breathe, I say peek-a-boo you. Spring will be all about sensuality so get a jumpstart with some sexy cut outs, sheer fabrics and keyhole necklines. I know it's cold outside, but don't we always want to look hot?

When you give her the choice between staying in and going out, she always chooses staying in. But no matter. She's the perfect date for when you feel like curling up to watch a good movie. The Homebody: She lives for things like comfy yoga pants and cozy cashmere slippers - perfect for putting the brakes on life and taking some time to stop and smell the roses.

Fab Finds of the Week: Neck in Neck

FabSugar — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 06:00:22 -0700

Have you all turned into vampiresses on me? It's seems like you are paying an awful lot of attention to necks and necklines recently. This week, for instance, your Fab Finds were filled with embellished necklines. Tops, dresses, you name it: they had ruffles, beading, lace, embroidery, the works! The neck is an erogenous zone, so hey, why not draw a little attention to it?

The Fab Finder of the week is Belowen, who found this pretty, Victorian-inspired lace-inset blouse. Every week the Fab Finder I announce Monday morning will receive either a TeamSugar or FabSugar baby tee shirt. I thoroughly enjoy perusing your Fab Finds every week, so dare to be a Fab Finding trendsetter and you just might win a Sugar tee!
