How Would YOU Wear It? Kate Beckinsale

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 07:00:22 PDT

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it still confuses me when people wear tights in hot weather. Exhibit A: Kate Beckinsale while Halloween shopping. This all-black look may have worked in the evening but it certainly doesn't fly on a sunny day in LA.

If I was Kate, I would have firstly ditched the knit beanie. Unless you're in snow, rain, or San Francisco, you don't need it. Next, I would have left behind the black tights. She has nice gams and should show them off. I would have also switched the suede boots for a pair of colored flats.

How would YOU wear it?

Marisa Tom — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 06:47:56 PDT

Aside from the perfect pair of sunglasses, there's only one (two, if you count sunscreen) more thing you need to take care of, as far as sun-worshipping accents go: finding your quintessential warm weather hat, of course. No, not a baseball cap and not your go-to pointelle knit beanie - we're talking about the floppiest, most wide-brimmed, and chicest straw, raffia, and woven versions, fit for a Summer crown. From more dramatic iterations that instantly transport us to the Kentucky Derby to edgier Western-inspired cowboy hats, we've picked out our favorite 15, worthy of a spin under the sun.

Christian Dior Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:06:08 PST

Most girls spend their childhood days dreaming of fairytale endings and prima ballerina flights of fancy. To this point, we imagine the Christian Dior Fall 2012 lineup brought to life so many of those diaphanous frocks and ballgowns conjured up in our heads. Creamy pinks and pastels, full-skirted silhouettes, and strong ballerina references - right down to the ankle-strap heels - punctuated the collection. There were silky knotted-at-the-nape dresses, super-cinched waists (belted, at that), tailored peplum tops with rich stone embroideries at the neckline, and an aprés-dance sweater-over-dress look cute enough to inspire us all to hit the barre. The equally feminine accessories - wide belts, opera-length leather gloves, luxe beanies, portfolio clutches, and pointe-shoe-inspired heels - provided a well-rounded polish to each frothy lilac, pink, and muted gray creation. Rich in cut and girlie proportions, the final gowns proved to be worthy of the princess-like ensembles that preceded them - both in red-carpet wearability and elegance. It was a perfectly ladylike showing of nipped waists and sophisticated, flowing silhouettes, with just the softest pops of paisley and houndstooth prints. See below for more Christian Dior details.

Trends: Full-skirted silhouettes (often belted), cinched waists, peplum, pale pastels, and ballerina-inspired frocks.
Colors: Dusty pink, gray, lilac, black, creamy beige, ivory, and pops of midnight blue.
Key Piece: Diaphanous full skirts, belted, and topped off with ballerina-worthy ankle-strap pumps.
Accessories: Ankle-strap pumps, slick wide belts, opera-length leather gloves, portfolio clutches, and cashmere-knit beanies.
Who Would Wear It: Ladies who can't live without an ultra-flirty silhouette, like Sarah Jessica Parker, Emma Stone, and Natalie Portman.

Look of the Day: Low-Key Cool

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:00:22 PST

Now that the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week has come to a close, we're ready to give our heels a break. To help us keep our laid-back wardrobe up to snuff, Fab reader Brunetteblogging pieced together a super chic yet low-key outfit that shows off a perfect style mix of casual and cool. She paired a cream sequined top with a button-down denim shirt, black miniskirt, and black tights. Her knee-high black boots, saddlebag, and gray knit beanie tie the look together with a no-frills polish. It's an everyday look with sleek accents - we love it.

Congrats Brunetteblogging!

Victoria Beckham Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:10:44 PST

Victoria Beckham's Fall collection can easily be described in one word: strong. The designer offered up her usual sleek, body-conscious dresses, but this time with a decidedly utilitarian touch. The military-chic collection was sexy, without being aggressively so, and was punctuated by belted waists, elbow-length sleeves, and high, collared necklines. Her signature slim-fitting vibe was still there, as were subtle nods to her family - Victoria mused that she "was in the kitchen one day" when son Romeo ran in with his baseball uniform on. "That's what inspired those bright sporty collars on the dresses," she told the Telegraph. Also, the loose beanies "were inspired by the ones David is always wearing," and there was even a handbag named after young daughter Harper. For the first time ever, David Beckham was front row for his wife's show, looking proud and excited while seated next to Anna Wintour. Get the full breakdown of the collection below.

Trends: Colorblocking, epaulets and gold buttons, belting, canvas panels.
Colors: Black, red, cornflower, moss, khaki.
Key Piece: The bright cornflower-blue zip-back dress; the dark khaki trench coat lined with python.
Accessories: Structured satchels, baggy knit hats, lace-up, combat-style boots with chunky baseball socks.
Who Would Wear It: Blake Lively, Kate Winslet, and, of course, Victoria herself.

The Office, "Special Project": Best Lines of The Night

Lizzie Fuhr — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:49:37 PST

In this week's episode of The Office, Dwight has been chosen to spearhead a three-week assignment in Tallahassee. He's putting together "a competent team" that will assist him on the mission, setting up a number of new Sabre locations. Half the episode deals with various relationship issues, and the rest is essentially an audition for the team that will head to Florida. There are some important plot points revealed: Val and Darryl vaguely express their feelings for each other, and Erin tells us she wants to head to Florida for good. While "Special Project" definitely has potential, this week just kind of landed flat for me.

Regardless, there are a few funny moments that stood out in my mind. To read a few of my fave lines from "Special Project," just keep reading.
