Channel Your Inner Beach Bunny in Retro-Inspired Swimwear

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 10:00:22 PDT

We're loving all of the swimwear options that are out there right now; at Miami Swim Week, we've seen tons of different prints, colors, and silhouettes, and with each season brings a fresh crop of new looks to try. However, one bathing suit trend that never seems to go out of style is '50s glam. Just look at the effortless allure of bathing beauties like Rita Hayworth, Esther Williams, and Marilyn Monroe. Not only did they have killer curves and perfectly coiffed hair, but they were undeniably sexy while still leaving a little to the imagination. Modern-day stunners like Eniko Mihalik and Marloes Horst worked the trend for Bergdorf Goodman and Seafolly campaigns, respectively - proving that flirty ruffles, sweet gingham, and sailor stripes can still be hot combos. If barely there bikinis aren't your thing, or you just want to try a more retro look on the beach this season, click through to see all of our '50s-chic swimwear picks.

Celeb Style: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:00:22 PST

Charlize Theron joined a slew of celebrities in Santa Monica for the organization Artists For Peace and Justice event to help Haiti. For the charitable festivities, the actress paired a fun yellow leopard print dress with a ruffled leather jacket. To keep herself warm, Charlize layered with black tights, patent platform pumps, and a Dior clutch. So polished and pretty.

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:50:22 PST

Davida10 and I are on the same wavelength. See, we're both wearing Wang(ish) sweats today. I like how she paired her casual bottoms with a crisp black blazer for maximum contrast - smart! The beanie also adds a funky grunge touch.

Here's what she has on:

Sweatpants: Norma Kamali for Walmart
Blazer: Club Monaco
Tee: Kain
Booties: Cole Haan
Beanie: Urban Outfitters

Congrats to davida10!

Norma Kamali Says Try Before You Buy . . .

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:50:00 PDT

Designer Norma Kamali is doing something other designers ought to copy: she's allowing her customers to try before they buy. Here's how it works: order items you like from the website, try them on in the comfort of your own home, then return the pieces you don't like within 48 hours (you are only charged for shipping).

What's more, Kamali has also introduced Try Before You Buy Parties, where essentially someone hosts a Norma Kamali shopping event at her home. If $10,000 or more is made, the host gets to buy the styles she sold at wholesale and sell them to clients at full price, making a 50 percent profit.

Trend Alert: Bubble Trouble

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Just when I thought someone magically popped the fashion bubble, we are back in bubble trouble. Designers and celebrities alike can't get enough of bubble hems. To be truthful, this is a look only a slim gal should attempt and heels lessen any negative bubbling of the body. Emma Roberts wore a dark and tailored Sass & Bide bubble dress, The Hills' Lo donned a colorful Ina Soltani bub, and Elizabeth Bank's Moschino bubbler was gray and subdued. I prefer the bubbles that have a tailored approach, at least it's a reinvention of the trend. Does anyone else wish this '80s trend would bubble over already?

Fab Body Guide: Dangerous Curves Ahead

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Leighton Meester's body is smokin', but by no means curvalicious. So why am I using her as a poster child for curves? Because in her BCBG dress, she proves that you don't need major curves to look womanly. Here, her body looks more hourglass-like than usual, thanks to the dramatic racerback bodice of her LBD.

Notice how the straps sit closer in, away from her shoulders, and how the sides dramatically curve below her armpits? That inverted cutout draws in your gaze and makes you picture an hourglass figure. Of course, a body-conscious fit also helps to move this illusion along. Watch out, dangerous curves ahead!

Ruffles are appearing in every which direction and it's no surprise that ruffle hems on tops are abundant. Here is an easy way to wear romance and volume, not to mention being on-trend. Sweet and simple, pair these with a pair of slim, cropped jeans or shorts and sashay away!

Trend Alert: Elegant Mesh

FabSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 08:02:22 PDT

No longer reserved for boxers and their muscle-tanks, today's mesh is feminine, flirty and just a smidge of sporty. You can find it on dresses and tops as a result of the get sporty trend that is, in fact, carrying over into the Fall. Funny how one fabric can be so bi-polar - bring on the mesh!
