Trend Alert: Dip Dyed Maxis

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

The maxi has proven to be a favorite Summer dress, especially amongst the starlets. But there are so many fabulous styles to choose from. Dip dyed maxis are both comfortable and unique. These are ideal for the gal with a drop of bohemia in her blood. Who knew Jessica Alba was a hippie-loving mom? These are also perfect for those with a bun in the oven; Gwen Stefani has been wearing dip dyed maxis for months now. If these moms stick with the dip dye, those are going to be rockin' babies.

Trend Alert: The Envelope Clutch

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Leave it to mini mogul Ashley Olsen to dress for business while everyone else was wearing flirty frocks at the Sex and the City New York premiere. And that is why we admire the fashion maven moiety. But what's really smart here is her Calvin Klein envelope clutch. It's slick, serious and sophisticated. How does the line go? "I have a head for business and a body for sin." Yes, she does.

Trend Alert: Tweed

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:00:22 -0800

When the weather turns it automagically puts me in the mood for tweed. This classic fabric is resilient and toastie - and, regardless to what you may think, it can be sexed up.

To the left is the Salvatore Ferragamo Fall collection and those tweed pants are powerful stuff. You may not have plumage laying around for such an exotic top, but show a little decolletage, hike yourself up in heels and top it of with some crimson lip rouge. Katherine Hepburn: are you in there?

Trend Alert: Long Dresses

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 07:29:48 -0800

For those of you gals graced with long legs: get psyched! We all know dresses are hot for Spring and this includes long, flowy, effortless dresses. These particular dresses are slimming, comfortable and sexy. For those of you who are a little more petite, all you've got to do is throw on some wedge platforms and you are good to go! Here are a few of my new favorite long dresses for Spring:

Scoop Printed Tube Dress, $345, is 100% silk and has elasticized tube banding on the chest area. It is available in six different rockin' patterns.

This Nieves Lavi Silk Halter Dress, $350, is made from 100% silk as well and I think is simply gorgeous. It is a long navy stunner with a multicolor floral print and halter straps that tie behind the neck. It's flattering to all bust sizes because of the ruching!

This Rebecca Taylor Voile Halter Dress, $334, is a full-length dress made from two layers of cotton voile. This fitted, empire waist dress ties at the back of the neck and has fabric flower appliqués at the neckline. I love the color of the dress atop a tan and I think this cut is quite flattering to all shapes.

Vivienne Tam Silk Jersey Halter Dress, $425, is a 100% silk, modern version of a kimono. This bright colored halter dress also ties at the neck, has a wrap around belt as well as built in bust pads for lift and comfort...no bra necessary!

Forever 21 Retro Halter Dress is $32.80 and though it's a bit retro, picture this with a great brown woven belt and sexy wedges. This halter dress features ruched detailing at the bust, a pointed waist line and satin retro print skirt.

Perfect Pair: Velvet Accessories For Fall

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 16:26:21 -0700

Let's face it: We're stuck with velvet forever. Because it's cozy, warm, and especially festive during the holiday season, velvet is just one of those things that will always be in style for fall and winter. Thankfully, I've found the cutest purse and flats combo at Scoop that will add sparkle and snuggle to any dreary winter day.

First, there's this Velvet Clutch Bag, available here for $298. Made by Kotur exclusively for Scoop, this dreamy clutch goes with just about anything, and the velvet barely shows dirt. The inside is satin lined, the outside has gorgeous, black-crystal beading, and there is a magnetic closure.

To see the flats that complete the pair, read more

Pair it with these adorable and reasonably priced Jet Beaded Velvet Ballet Flats, which you can buy here for $148. Embellished with black-crystal stones, they'd look perfect with skinny jeans, dresses, or leggings.

Trend Alert: Scoop It Low

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Sizzle. Miranda Kerr makes looking sexy so easy. OK, being a VS model might have something to do with it but we can't deny her styling skills. Peep the cutie running errands in LA donning a tank, Ray-Bans, and denim mini. It doesn't look like anything special at first glance but notice the new neckline. This ultra deep cut injects major flirt factor– if you got it, scoop it low girl!

On Our Radar: Scoop Beach Collection to Debut

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Scoop NYC has created an exciting collection for ladies who love designer resort collections but would rather not spend a fortune.

Scoop Beach, set to launch in February, will not just be for vacation getaways. "This is not stuff to [simply] go to the beach in," said Stefani Greenfield, co-owner of the store. "We're going to have this in our stores all year long."

Fifteen Scoop NYC shops, as well as other department stores, will carry the collection, which includes a variety of dresses, woven tops, knitwear, pants, scarves, sandals, handbags, and more. If you don't live near a Scoop, an online store is coming soon. Items ranging from $55 to $445 aren't cheap, but they sure beat, say Prada's resort collection. I'll take that.
