Trend Alert: Spotty Dotty Scarves

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 09:00:06 PDT

Scarves serve a practical purpose for sure, but that doesn't mean they have to be all business. Rachel Bilson proves that spotty dotty scarves have way more fun. With sweet spots in bright colors or classic hues, we love these scarves in lighter, breezy fabrics - perfect for transitional dressing. In fact, we'd wear it just this way, paired with simple separates, distressed denim, and a military jacket, or boyfriend blazer. Just a hint of cool and a little girlie, effortlessly thrown on to take you beyond your basics.

Back to Cool: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

dannysf — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:50:22 PDT

There are few kids cooler than Ferris Bueller. No school, no rules, no limits. Just a cool car, a couple of friends, and a dream for the perfect day off. Factor in Ferris's sweetie, Sloane, and you've got one ridiculously cool couple. I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off wishing Ferris would bail me out of class and take me for a ride in the Ferrari. If you had the same teen dream, channel a little back to cool via Sloane Peterson. Mix funky fringe, like this Asos Fringe Waistcoat ($24, originally $47), with '80s classics like these Ray-Bans ($195), and just a touch of turquoise like this Lucky Brand Multi Row Cuff ($72) to finish. Definitely too cool for school. Click the items above to shop the look.

Lucky iPad Case: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:00:58 PDT

Dressing your gadgets in brand-name fashion is a hot trend! First I spotted these gorgeous DVF Kindle Cases, and now, slowly but surely, new iPad cases are starting to find their way into the Apple store. The latest addition: the Lucky Clover Sleeve for iPad ($60), a protective green neoprene sleeve that protects your iPad. Created by clothing manufacturer Lucky Brand (which I think is better known for its jeans than its tech accessories), the sleeve features the brand's signature four-leaf clover design, with padding and a zipper to protect your iPad.

It's a cool case, but the price seems a little steep - maybe you're paying for the name. What do you think?

Celeb Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:30:22 PST

Miss Moss in fur - how Fab. Kate walked out of a London restaurant wearing one of her favorite fur chubbies. Underneath she kept it basic: black tank, black cardigan, and black jeans. But her scuffed-up tan buckle boots and fringe Genevieve Jones bag are not-so basic. Notice the tiny emerald earrings that dress her earlobes and her prominent cocktail ring.

Style Glossary: Bias Cut

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:30:22 PDT

Bias Cut

A garment is said to be cut on the bias when the fabric's warp and weft threads are at 45 degrees to its major seam lines; essentially, the diagonal cut of a fabric. This technique utilizes a greater stretch in the bias, thereby causing it to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. Non-woven fabrics such as felt do not have a bias. Bias-cut garments were made popular by French designer Madeleine Vionnet in the '20s and '30s.

Celebrity Style: Penelope Cruz

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:00:22 PDT

Penelope Cruz had dinner with Harvey Weinstein in London, and while the studio head wore a suit, the actress kept it casual in jeans and no makeup. For the intimate occasion, Pene wore Chloe's mini star print blouse. To accessorize, she threw on small silver hoop earrings, a brown leather bag, and platform wedges. A modern take on '70s-inspired pieces - I like.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:00:22 PDT

Cutie patootie Rachel Bilson spent an afternoon running errands in LA, but she didn't let a little to-do list stop her from dressing in style. Still, she maintained a level of comfort in Mayle's floral embroidered dress and flat sandals. I love that instead of Wayfarers, she threw on retro Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies to help her go incognito.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:00:22 PDT

Nicky Hilton is all about funky printed dresses lately and why not because they look so darn good on her. In general, prints are hard to pull off, but Nicky's eye is impeccable; she chooses ones that are exotic and mature. This Fab silk Nu Collective dress she wore while out to dinner with her boyfriend is no exception. And her accessories - Jeffrey Campbell studded sandals and purple Valentino bag - do a fine job of accentuating the look.
