Marios Schwab Rodin Ruffle Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

I'm all for avant-garde dressing - as long as it's flattering. This Marios Schwab Rodin Ruffle Dress ($2,565) will definitely make an artistic statement, but I'm not too sure about the crazy, red ruffles. In fact, it kinda reminds me of black-forest cake with red frosting. Eye-catching, yes. Beautiful? You tell me . . .

Trend Alert: The TTD

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

My daily routine of perusing Net-A-Porter led me to something so simplistically new: the TTD, also known as the top tunic dress. However, I must give credit to Roland Mouret for this genius idea. The TTD is pretty much three pieces in one: a top when tucked into pants, a tunic paired with leggings, and a dress - rad. When shopping for TTDs, make sure to look for sleek shapes and solid colors for maximum versatility and always accessorize with tough elements. Three in one? It doesn't get better than that, folks.

The Look For Less: Balmain Crystal-Embellished Jacket

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:50:11 -0700

This Balmain Crystal-Embellished Jacket ($11,410) is undeniably fly, but besides Beyonce and a couple other celebs, I don't know anyone willing to fork over the dough for such a trendy statement piece. I love the kitschy, band-jacket-inspired style, but paying that much is not even a faint possibility . . .

To see the look for less, read more.

Thank goodness we have Target! Not only does this Target Go International Bandleader Vest ($35) cost a fraction of Balmain's design, but the pared down embellishments make it more wearable. The cropped cut is perfect for any badass, Balmain-inspired ensemble. Get it while it's hot!

I don't need to be a bride to know the importance of wedding attire, and neither does Net-a-Porter.

Fab Flash: Stella McCartney Creates Capsule Collection For Net-A-Porter

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Net-a-Porter upped the ante once again with another exclusive collaboration. The e-tailer and Stella McCartney have teamed up for a line of hand-picked Summer goodies to be sold exclusively at Net-a-Porter.com. “This collection is a Stella ‘best-of,’” said McCartney. “It’s got everything you need.”

McCartney's crème de la crème is set to include classic trench coats, dresses, skinny jeans, tailored suits, espadrilles, and limited-edition items from her collaboration with artist Peter Blake. It's not cheap; items start at $185 but at least you'll be buying from an eco-conscious designer. The collection will be available in May.
