Look of the Day: Being Barrymore

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 07:00:22 -0800

Being Barrymore isn't so hard after all. Just take a look at how ur_momm copied Drew Barrymore's grungy rocker look. Her gray cardi and dark jeans are a perfect match to Drew's. I also like how her tan booties give a sharp contrast to her gray palette. Rock on, sister.

Here's what she has on:

Cardi: H&M
Tee: Unknown
Jeans: Foxy Jeans
Shoes: Bronx

Congrats to ur_momm!

Fall Glimpse: Tales From the Dark Side

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:22 -0700

When there's salt, there's pepper. Hot and cold. Light and dark. You catch my drift. In fashion, we are always presented with another side of the coin. If Ice Ice Baby isn't your tune, try watching Tales From the Dark Side.

Some of these designers always cater to the dark lords of fashion - London's Gareth Pugh, Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci. A few just felt like dipping in murky waters for Fall: Julien Macdonald's dark glam rockin' looks and Gucci's fabulous folky getups. Meanwhile, Alexander Wang is proving to be the connoisseur of downtown (dis)taste. But no one told a tall tale like Ann Demeulemeester and her posh tatterdemalions (left).

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Plaid Shirtdress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:00:08 -0700

At first glimpse, this D&G Dolce & Gabbana Plaid Shirtdress ($545) reminded me of something Paul Bunyan's wife would wear, but after a closer look, I think I kind of like it. The classic plaid is '90s grunge fabulous and the sleek silhouette lends a dressier feel to an otherwise casual textile. Do you agree or should it head back to the woods?

Cheap & Chic: '90s Grunge

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:00:22 -0700

No one does sloppy chic better than Kristen Dunst. Here she is on the streets of SoHo looking '90s grunge fabulous in a loose plaid top, short shorts, and flats.

The plaid top itself screams '90s but leave it to Kirsten to put icing on the cake with her signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers and messy hair. When wearing grunge garb, make sure to keep something loose and something fitted - wrinkles optional!

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Livin' on the Edge

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Some New York designers channeled their dark side for Fall. I wonder if this has anything to do with the dark get ups of fashion influencers Kate Moss and the Olsens. Perhaps. The cool touch of model/stylist/muse Erin Wasson at Alexander Wang (left) was certainly evident. This may not be the most uplifting raiment for dark and stormy days, but the fact of the matter is: On such days, don't we all sometimes feel like dressing like a bad ass?

Definition: Neo-grunge

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 06:00:22 -0700

Neo-grunge

n. Grunge music - a style that emerged in 1991 with Nirvana's album "Nevermind" - translated into fashion. Characterized by heavy layering, natural colors and individualistic mixes of knits, flannel, tweed and uniforms.

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 06:12:22 -0700

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

Slouchy beanies are always adorable, but what makes this Light Gray Soft Beanie fresher are the creases. With them, you can achieve a part grunge, part polished look. Throw on some ripped jeans for a too-cool finish. Buy it now for $6.99. The auction ends on Tuesday, Nov. 24, and there are more beanies where that came from.

Look of the Day: Wang(ish) Sweats

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:50:22 -0800

Davida10 and I are on the same wavelength. See, we're both wearing Wang(ish) sweats today. I like how she paired her casual bottoms with a crisp black blazer for maximum contrast - smart! The beanie also adds a funky grunge touch.

Here's what she has on:

Sweatpants: Norma Kamali for Walmart
Blazer: Club Monaco
Tee: Kain
Booties: Cole Haan
Beanie: Urban Outfitters

Congrats to davida10!
