T-Bags Print V Neck Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Prints are a surefire way to spruce up a wardrobe. But beware: they sometimes run into tacky town. Take, for instance, this T-Bags Print V Neck Dress ($167). I love the spruce green print but the short hemline and low V neck leaves little to the imagination. Do you think this tiny frock is hot, or not?

kristina920 is super pretty in a casual yellow waves dress. I like how she dressed up her artsy dress with a pair of slingback sandals - so summery and cute!

Here's what she has on:

Who Wore it Better? Diane von Furstenberg Printed Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Maybe maxi dresses really will catch on big time. They do capture that bohemian Summer vibe oh so well. Miss Molly Sims debuted the bold dress at Diane von Furstenberg's dinner I attended back in February, and Garcelle Beauvais Nilon selected it for a Saks Fifth Avenue event yesterday. They both wisely chose bare necklines and upswept 'dos, paving the way for the dress to make the main statement. It fits both of them like a dream, but I'm liking the shoulder cutouts on Molly's a tad bit more for that extra flash of skin. Who do you think wore it better?

Dress You Up! Vintage Print Dresses

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:11:22 -0700

Skip your morning coffee, or tea, and opt for a fabulous vintage print dress. Yes, you could also scour vintage shops, I know that's what members of The Vintage Place!! are thinking. But that's a shopping mission and if you're not up to the challenge this Spring has lots and lots of offerings.

Same with trapeze style dresses, you can wear these with a heel or no heel; but if you want to wear it for evening I suggest a heel and some jewels as the vintage prints tend to dress down the dress (pun intended). For those bold gals out there who are all about colorful prints, have fun with these picks.

Stay tuned all week long as I'll be showing you some of the cutest dress styles right now; there will be something for everyone so...Dress You Up!.

Diane von Furstenberg Adelaide Dress, $325.

Trend Alert: Mixed Material Bangles

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We can all agree Bosworth's ray print Proenza Schouler dress is epic. But have you ever realized Kate rarely wears jewelry? When she does, I notice. Her mixed metal bangles add extended cool to her black and ice sheath. She opted for a silver medley, but mixed metals work just as well. The key is to stack 'em and play around with textures and widths. In this case, more is more.

Celeb Style: Sophia Bush

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

There's nothing I like more than seeing Sophia Bush step outside the fashion box. Over the weekend, the actress attended The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere in NYC looking glam galactic in a long sleeve minidress by Helmut Lang. The abstract powder print is so art nouveau, and I like how she tempered it with sleek suede booties. With a dress like that, you don't need a lot of accessories.

Helmut Lang Powder-Print Dress - $520.00	Apt. 9® Opaque Microfiber Control-Top Tights - $10.00
Steven By Steve Madden Women's Brinda Ankle Boot - $179.95	Jimmy Choo 'Ubai' Snake Embossed Leather Clutch - $595.00
Alexis Bittar 'Silver Dust' Lucite® Ring - $175.00

Ashish Sequined One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

Designer Spotlight: Caroline Hedeya

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

This is a story about two girls, Caroline and Donna, who were destined to become stylish bosom buddies. Before they met at F.I.T., the two led parallel lives hoping to become fashion designers one day. Shortly after graduating, Caroline and Donna combined their quirky ideas to create Caroline Hedaya, a genesis of Caroline's graceful touches with Donna's architectural aesthetic. For Spring '10, the duo supply us with a girlie gambit of crisp skirts, cropped lace tops, modern vintage frocks, and polka-dot prints made in cream and navy hues. I don't know which I love more: the simple cinched camisole dress or the white cut-out wonder . . .

Here's a fun fact: At the age of 4, Caroline used to get phone calls from her teacher telling her mom that her outfits were too extravagant for school. Luckily, her mother refused to pacify her daughter's eccentric ways - too cute!
