Celebrity Style: Reese Pairs Her Chloé Bag With a Cozy Sweater and Jeans

Noria Morales — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:33:13 PDT

This casual look from Reese Witherspoon has all the right ingredients for a crisp, Fall day: a cozy sweater and scarf in rich, autumnal tones; worn-in, slightly slouchy jeans; the perfect walking bootie; and a big, beautiful bag in caramel-hued leather. We love the play of hunter green and rust on top - we're a bit obsessed with cool color combos. Flip to the bottom half of her outfit, and the Rag and Bone booties would look just as good with one of Reese's signature flouncy skirts and an oversized sweater as it does here. As for her Chloé bag, it's become a fixture on Reese's arm for good reason: it's timeless and totally versatile. To get Reese's look, shop our picks on the widget below.

Freaky or Fabulous? The Gorilla Arm Trend For Fall 2011

Noria Morales — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:37:05 PST

Fur, both real and faux, returned for Fall, and one of the most interesting incarnations of the furry stuff was the debut of the gorilla arm. By that, we mean the seriously, thickly fur-covered sleeves of coats. Rag & Bone showed it in their futuristic Scottish ski bum, Giles did it under a black corset, and Peter Som took it to the trench. It's certainly a bold look, but one that could be hard to pull off. What do you think of this trend? Would you wear it?

Spring Trend Alert: 4 Dresses You'll Want to Wear All Season

Lucky — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 04:05:04 PST

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

So what if it's not actually spring yet? Right now is the best time of the season to buy the best new spring dresses. For one thing, they're still in stock. For another, after all that winter-appropriate black, bright colors and lighter fabrics feel just perfect. We polled our favorite New York City boutiques to get their top picks for the upcoming season.

1. The Hasley From BB Dakota: "People are starved for color," says Ann French Emonts, owner of Greenwich Village boutique Darling. "I'm seeing loads of bright, solid colors in silk, especially green - jade green, kelly green, hunter green. And I still see a strong interest in the Mad Men look - whether a [size] 2 or a 10, people really love what I call the Peggy or Betty silhouette, which is fitted on top and goes into a pleated or full skirt. My favorite is the Hasley from BB Dakota ($110)." Darling, 1 Horatio St., 212-367-3750, darlingnyc.com

2. Rag & Bone Dress at OTTE: Sophia Hyacinthe's top pick is Rag & Bone's powerhouse "Lafone" beige-and-black dress, which is part of the shop's Runway Wish List collection. "This dress has three trends in one," says Hyacinthe. "It's sheer, which feels right for spring because it has a sweet and airy feel to it. Underwear-as-outerwear is another big trend for spring - here you can see that the top has a very bra-like look to it. And the strategic color block emphasizes and minimizes all the right things." The dress is $625 and will be available at Otte in mid-March. Otte, 121 Greenwich Ave., 212-229-9424, otteny.com; plus other locations

Fab Interview! Two Fabulous Minutes with Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone

Noria Morales — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:10:05 PST

Backstage after the Rag & Bone show, designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville broke open bottles of Peroni, and David's children ran around avoiding the cavalry of people packing up the 35-look Fall collection that had just debuted on the runway. It felt more like an intimate family gathering than the close to one of New York's most anticipated shows, and Fab snagged an impromptu chat with Marcus.

FabSugar: Is Peroni a choice or a sponsored beer?
Marcus Wainwright: I wish it was a sponsored beer and you can publish that. I drink two beers, Peroni and Asahi, and neither of them sponsored but it would be good if they did.

FS: My takeaway from the show was that of a madcap hunting expedition in the Scottish highlands. What was the real inspiration for your show?
MW: It started with the Inuit Eskimoes and Saami in northern Sweden and Norway, balanced with '70s skiing. And a lot English fabrics, that's where the tartan came in, and Japanese and American twisted fabrics.

FS: Is there any uniform you love to see women in?
MW: Not specifically. I just think women just should wear clothes that they feel really comfortable and special in. I think girls that go wrong don't look great, when they try too hard. It's not a specific look, everyone just has their own personal style. You just need to own it.

2011 New York Fall Fashion Week: Rag & Bone

Noria Morales — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:00:05 PST

The Rag & Bone show is massive, and it has to be considering its loyal following of editors, It girls and boys, supermodels like Erin Wasson and Jessica Stam - who watch from the front row instead of walking - and ultra cool celebs like Alexa Chung. The Thom Yorke soundtrack suggested a dark and serious show, but what ended up coming down the runway was a rather madcap hunting expedition in the Scottish Highlands. At least that's what I thought until I got the scoop from designer Marcus Wainwright after the show. There were plaid kilts, lots of leather trim, sculpted shift dresses, leg warmers, and even a varsity jacket to keep it sporty. It was a much more rugged collection than last Fall, but there were some luxurious pieces, like an ivory shearling hooded vest and a slew of fantastic leather platform boots.

Trends: Shearling, leather trim, fur sleeves, varsity jackets, '70s ski, Scottish Highland chic, Eskimo.
Colors: Ivory, brown, rust, royal blue.
Key Looks: Anything with shearling.
Accessories: Calf-length brown leather boots with canvas detailing; hooded capelets./li>
Who Would Wear It: Chic women who drive Land Rovers and drink beer after a day of skiing.

A DIY Project Could Score You Seats to Rag & Bone Show!

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:14:05 PST

We have a project for you this weekend. Street style has become a major part of contemporary fashion, and Rag & Bone designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are taking the personal perspective one giant leap forward. Instead of doing a traditional Spring ad campaign, the designers handed cameras to their favorite models - Sasha Pivovarova and Abbey Lee Kershaw among them - and let the girls produce their own shots, wearing their own Rag & Bone duds. How do you fit into this candid camera campaign? By printing out the image PDFs from the Rag & Bone website and plastering them all over your city. Snap a pic of your guerrilla marketing, email it to the peeps at Rag & Bone, and you might just find yourself at New York Fashion Week in two weeks! Click through to see the model snaps.

Must Haves: Fierce Shearling Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 03:27:05 PST

You know you need them. By my rough calculation, there are still two months of Winter weather to get through, and my regular old leather boots just aren't cutting it. I need warmth and protection from the snow, but I'm not going to sacrifice form for function. So, here are 10 fiercely warm and very chic shearling boots that are just begging to be worn.

Reader-Inspired Style: Floral Skirts

FabSugar — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 04:33:05 PST

A flirty floral skirt in Winter? If you style it like Fab reader Elsemarie, then yes, absolutely! She adds an oversize chunky cardigan, opaque black tights, and little black booties to make the look cold-weather ready, and accessorizes with a long pendant necklace ($49) and headband. The key to making this feminine outfit work is choosing a full floral skirt ($30); it's softer-looking than a pencil silhouette.

Thanks, Elsemarie!
