Found! Jenna Dewan's Silky Shirtdress

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:30:22 -0700

As of late, newlywed Jenna Dewan has been spotted making the rounds at Hollywood parties looking extremely cute. Last night, she joined Katie Cassidy, at the Judith Leiber boutique opening party on Rodeo Drive. Check out her saucy shirtdress - Fab. This shape has been done over a million times, but the silky textile gives it a whole new attitude.

Interested? Jenna's dress is the Mike & Chris Chauncey Shirtdress ($126, originally $360). Her light khaki is color sold out, but the steel-gray hue is just as nice - and on sale! BTW, if there's any top, dress, shoe, or bag you're dying to identify, join our In Search Of . . . community group, and we'll help you find that coveted item!

Style Glossary: Crêpe de Chine

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Crêpe de Chine

Literally means "crepe of China" in French. A soft, lightweight, plainwoven fabric with a crinkled effect. It's produced either with all-silk warp and weft or with a silk warp and hard-spun worsted weft. Crêpe de chine textures of artificial silk are common these days and are often difficult to distinguish from true silk. French designer Madeleine Vionnet used crêpe de chine, a fabric that was unusual in women's fashion of the '20s and '30s.

This Mike & Chris Vinny Tank ($202) is made of 100 percent crêpe de chine silk. Doesn't it look super soft?

Trend Alert: Denim Vests

Check it: there's a fine line between looking casual and casual cool. If it weren't for Kate Bosworth's denim vest by Current & Elliot, her gray tee would fall flat; pairing it with this essential piece pulls everything together in a snap. Pretty cool, huh? I like to wear my denim vests with frocks and billowy tops for a sweet, Bohemian vibe, but if that's not your thing, try it with a tank or simple tee, a la Bossie. However you do it, I guarantee hotness.

Trend Alert: Lightwash Leather

FabSugar — Tue, 12 May 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Why, hello back at you B. Don't you look beautiful and carefree strolling the streets of Berlin wearing a lightwash leather jacket. It adds a nice, feminine touch to the tough biker cut and also looks great against your skin tone. Enough gushing. Lucky for us, we don't have to be Beyonce to wear this luscious leather. You can, however, look to the R&B diva for styling inspiration. Notice how she paired it with a neutral top for a stunning, streamlined look. Nice. If that's not your thing, complement it with a floral frock and booties for ultimate girliness. The possibilities are endless. I already own a black and gray leather jacket, but this new color is too Fab to pass up.

Trend Alert: Multi-Strap Sandals

FabSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Peel your eyes from Hilary Duff's stunning lime green Herve Leger dress for a moment and focus on her sexy Sergio Rossi multi-strap sandals. Hotness. Note how this super strappy style is a more sophisticated, sexy version of gladiators and caged sandals. Multi-strap sandals come in a rainbow of styles, so choose one that fits your persona. I need two pairs: a ravishing reptilian pair for my sassy side and chunky black wedges for my tough alter ego. What about you?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Midnight Bowling Madness

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:50:22 -0700

Last weekend, I entertained my friends with my bowling skills, or rather, my lack thereof. After a late dinner, we headed over to the local alley for some midnight bowling. Once the clock struck 12, the bright lights turned off, the parents went home, and the big kids came out and played. Even though my score was under 100, I still had a lot of fun! I asked you to help me find a fun outfit for my bowling excursion. Let's see what you conjured up . . .

I started you off with these Billabong Sock Me Socks ($14) because I adore the zebra print!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Fab-approved; simply sensational.

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:50:00 -0700

Lauren Conrad hopped on a plane and got herself to Topshop NYC, pronto. I'm jealous! Unlike her LA style, which is more colorful and airy, Lauren kept herself dark and demure in a gray oversize blazer, black leggings, white scarf, and killer over-the-knee suede boots. Her Chloe sunglasses also translate well from West to East coast, no? Now, I wonder what goodies she got at Topshop . . .

I know what you're thinking: I can't believe it's already April. My friends, April is one of the best months! Spring has sprung, Summer is around the corner, you still have time to get in shape, and you have plenty of resources to assemble your warm-weather wardrobe. Sales are already sprouting and the sun is shining. What is there to complain about? Niente. My eyes are locking on optimistic goods, like these insanely fun Fendi strappy patent two-tone sandals ($615). Revel in it.

March Shopping Madness! Mixmaster

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:00:22 -0700

There any many ways to approach mixmastering. You can experiment with offbeat color combinations - my obsession is navy and bright orange right now. You can mix prints: ethnic and stripes, dots and flowers, colorblock and metallics. You can dabble with silhouettes, a long trench with short shorts sounds really fun. Really, it's all about the mix and having fun. Peep Topshop's Spring lineup for inspiration. I've assembled a mass of some of my current favorites, some funky, all fun. Want a fresh closet without spending a dime? Try conquering being a mixmaster and play with unlikely pairings. You just might see fashion - and life - in a whole new light.
