Fab Finger Discount: Martin + Osa Floral Print Silk Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:00:22 PST

Did you hear? Martin + Osa is closing. Sad, I remember when it launched in 2008. So let's pick up as many cute pieces from the retailer as possible before it disappears forever. This Martin + Osa Floral Print Silk V-Neck Dress ($45, originally $130), available in size medium, is a good one. It's moody, but with a cinch from a pink neon belt, it'll quickly become lively. There's more Martin + Osa sale goodies where that came from.

Trend Alert: Moody Florals

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 05:00:22 PDT

It's a dark and cloudy day, but you don't want to reflect that in your wardrobe. Moody florals should do the trick. Dark floral patterns are the perfect way to incorporate darkness with color. Check out Nicky's fun flowers and Alexis's sharp contrast, and who can resist Fergie's Gucci confection? Note how all three ladies are working different looks but one thing remains constant: the moody motif.

Richard Chai Love Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:29:44 PST

Inspired by the idea of "handsome femininity," Richard Chai showed a Fall collection that was simultaneously simple, yet statement-making. “I didn’t want to do anything that was tricky,” Chai told The New York Times. “I didn’t want to create looks that were just for the show. I wanted it to be approachable and believable, but also be really aspirational. At the end of the day, it’s pieces that I want people to wear.” Chai's boy-meets-girl vision was interpreted into gorgeous slim-fit striped trousers, structured oversized blazers and coats, cozy knits, blanket-stripe coats, and moody florals. The latter was cut into diaphanous sheer skirts, corduroy pants, and jackets, adding a feminine streak to his city-slicker style. Furthermore, his outerwear was something to contend with; Chai's selection of oversized structured jackets and coats were perfectly tailored and ideal for topping off just about any Fall look.

Trends: Menswear, painterly florals, blanket stripes, boxy blazers and coats.
Colors: Dark red, pinks, gray, black, navy blue, brown.
Key Piece: We loved the multi-colored blanket-stripe dress and trousers.
Accessories: Black ankle booties and lace-up boots.
Who Would Wear It: Downtown girls looking to add a menswear-inspired touch to their look, like Olivia Palermo.

Look of the Day: Fittingly Floral

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 03:00:46 PDT

With pretty florals and cool Fall layers, Fab reader postgradchic's look is perfectly suited to her surroundings. We love how she tempers a bright floral print with a moody palette and seasonal suede on her boots and jacket. It's a masterful exercise in Autumn layers, and a photo shoot made sweeter by the gorgeous natural backdrop.

Congrats to postgradchic!

Find Warmth in Woolen Decor Inspired by ABC's Suburgatory

Diana Nguyen — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:00:50 PDT

It's a rude awakening for Manhattanites George Altman (Jeremy Sisto) and his daughter, Tessa, when they move from the busy city and into the suburbs in ABC's new comedy Suburgatory, but just because George went from walk-up to cul-de-sac doesn't mean he had to ditch his modern, urban style.

Ever since the pilot, I've been coveting George's gray tufted headboard. While masculine at first sight, it can feel effortlessly softer with a few floral or light-colored throws. But the reason I really love this headboard is because its fabric and subtle color are perfect for Fall!

If the typical Fall palette (orange, yellow, brown) is not your cup of tea, opt for moody monochromatic gray. Think Fall's shorter days, ominous clouds, and dark holidays. Too drab to be fab? Bring in shots of color with Anthropologie's Pendleton Throw ($248) or JefDesigns Bubble Wool Rug ($120).

Just like adjusting your wardrobe for the cold and inclement weather, bring warmth to your home as well. West Elm's Upholstered Dhurrie Slab ($250, originally $299) is not only cozy enough to throw your feet on and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa, but the wool dhurrie patches add texture to any room. Also, leather chairs can be uncomfortably cold at first sit; instead, instantly relax on the wool Modern Florence Style Arm Chair ($360). And while Fall's nature motif is great, go a step further with wool and feature Needle Felted Acorns ($12 for six) in a glass vase or hang a Layered Fall Leaves Felted Wool Sweater Wreath ($14) on the door. It's a creative alternative to the real stuff, and way less messy. Click above to shop the rest of my picks.
