I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:00:22 -0800

B's mom Elinor has found a new man, and Blair is less than happy with her mother's choice. Never one to crack under pressure, she remained fashionably calm as she plotted to break up the lovebirds. Her ivory Bill Blass ruffle halter and black Giuseppe Zanotti satin pumps was the perfect mix of fun and elegance. Blair's statement top needed a simple background; pairing it with a sophisticated short skirt and diamond earrings was perfection. Need I say more?

Nanette Lepore Dance Floor Mini Skirt - $225.00	Bill Blass Flamenco backless blouse - $1,990.00
Giuseppe Zanotti black satin 'Plato' peep toe pumps - $396.00	14k Gold Square Diamond Earrings (1/4 ct. t.w.) - $600.00

The Look For Less: Diane von Furstenberg Philippine Blouse

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:00:08 -0700

This Diane von Furstenberg Philippine Blouse ($285) encompasses two Fab trends: a nude color palette and plenty of pleats. I would toughen this romantic blouse with a pair of skinny black pants and my favorite Fall jacket. Sounds Fab, huh? The only thing stopping me from putting it all together is the price.

Whew! This Victoria's Secret Silk Chiffon Pleated Blouse ($68) is much lighter on the pocketbook. It has the same billowy sleeves as the aforementioned version and I like the slightly longer cut. Done and done.

Cheap & Chic: Romantic Blouses

Amidst all the drama, Sienna Miller is still one fashionable babe. If you're going to get your photo taken by the paparazzi, you might as well look cute, right?

I'm loving the semisheer romantic blouse she's jetsetting in. It's a great alternative to wearing a basic tee with your jeans and doesn't appear stuffy. When choosing a romantic blouse, look for one with a casual fit and fun detailing such as stripes, ruffles, or frills. Kudos to Sienna for accessorizing her feminine look with a funky Gucci belt.

Silver Slippers Embroidered Blouse - $78.00	Petals Chiffon Blouse - $19.80
Bib blouse - $38.00	INC International Concepts ® Ruffle-Trim Top - $39.00
H81 Rosalyn Capsleeve Blouse - $19.90	"> "> Sheer poet blouse - $64.00

Trend Alert: Ruffly Blouses

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 11:48:53 -0700

If ever you've longed to dress yourself in prim and feminine ruffly blouses, now is your chance. Ranging from multi-tiered cascades to simple accents, ruffles are all over shirts for Fall 2006. But the look isn't easy to pull off.

To avoid looking like a librarian or a lady who lunches, try pairing the flouncy shirts with somewhat tougher pieces, like denim and leather. For a dressier look, you can go more chic, but make sure the rest of your outfit is sleek, not fussy-think pencil skirts and graceful platform pumps. Here's a look at some of my favorite ruffly blouses at both designer and non-designer prices.

Rebecca Taylor Ruffle Top with Cami, $189, available here.

3.1 Phillip Lim Ruffle-Front Halter, $297, available here.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Casey Stripe Silk Top, $228, available here.

Elie Tahari Joelle Blouse, $248, available here.

For the non-designer versions, read more

Bebe Chain Print Amanda Shirt, $79, available here.

Banana Republic Sleeveless Ruffled Bib Top, $64, available here.

Forever 21 Ruffled Stripe Shirt, $24.80, available here.

Isaac Mizrahi Brocade Ruffle Blouse, $29.99, available here.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Diane von Furstenberg

FabSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:00:22 -0800

Leave it to Diane von Furstenberg to create a foreign affair, where the muse is a sophisticate who wanders Berlin's dark streets, meets a handsome stranger, and then flees to Shanghai the next morning. Her wardrobe is what she picks up along the way; a collection of beaded dresses, ruffly blouses, wide legged pants, tailored jackets and military-inspired outerwear. Don't forget her little Bugle Boy hat.

The real stunners in this collection were not DVF's always-fantastic dresses. Maybe those dresses were great but we couldn't really see them since they were hidden and belted under Glenn plaid blazers, herringbone coats, chunky cashmere cardigans and peplum jackets. As one who is pretty satisfied with my outerwear, Diane has forced me to reconsider.

Trend Alert: Square-Heel Pumps

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

So they look like the footwear from Mia Farrow's wardrobe in Rosemary's Baby. There's no doubt square-heel pumps have a vintage feel, but I think they're pretty darn cute. Always professional, sex up this pump with a pencil skirt and ruffly blouse. But don't forget a fabulous vintage coat!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Kylie's Cute Fall Look

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 11:39:03 -0700

After being diagnosed with breast cancer last year, Kylie Minogue is in remission and looking better than ever. I love this subtle yet very feminine fall look that she was recently spotted wearing. With her round-toe tall boots and ruffly Victorian blouse, she manages to combine several fall trends into one effortless style. This is a great ensemble for easing into fall.

I've already identified her fabulous Dolce & Gabbana Leather Boots, available here for $1,550. Now let's all go Fab Finding to find a similar blouse, a leather jacket, and a handbag.
