Trend Alert: Black Tie Not Optional

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Whether with chain necklaces piled on top, as our example Lindsay Price flaunts, or simply untied, this invitation reads black tie not optional. The black tie detail is the pivotal player here, delivering a masculine/feminine message. Not so into bows? Here is a laid-back alternative. If you exercise your option, do like Lindsay and pile on some glitzy bling, and keep the rest sexy and sleek.

I Want This Wardrobe: He's Just Not That Into You, Gigi

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:00:22 -0800

In He's Just Not That Into You, Gigi is a hopeless romantic, at times pathetic, but ultimately a good girl and an inspiration to us all. We follow her journey for love and some parts seem familiar - I definitely had a couple been there, done that dating moments while watching.

Optimistic as a daisy, Gigi has a very Anthropologie-esque style. She mixes colors and textures - here she's wearing a silk print dress by SEA and a teal bolero designed by costume designer Shay Cunliffe - and always manages to look ladylike. In this scene she is hopelessly devoted to Justin Long (cutie). As for what happens on his leather couch, you'll just have to see the movie . . .

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee

In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers. Black platform sandals elevate the wearer, and the sparkling accessories further feminize. There's not a bit of bunny in this pulled-together look.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Destination Wedding

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 07:20:21 -0700

On Wednesday, I challenged all you Fab Finders to put together an ensemble for a destination wedding, which is a great excuse to wear a summery dress in the middle of Fall. I started things off with this Nicole Miller Keyhole Print Silk Dress, available for $385 here, then asked you to go Fab Finding for two sets of accessories: one set with a summery look and another for autumn. (To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.)

I really love the ensembles you came up with, which included lots of strappy sandals, wrap cardigans, and dangly earrings; AtlantaNoleGirl gets extra points for actually finding some aptly named Mexican Wedding Earrings, available for $42 here. Now, onto the great Summer and Fall looks!

Look #1 by AudreyStar, who used a different summer dress with a brown and peach palette that works great for Fall. She also included sunglasses for stealthily staring at the best man.

Look #3, by Jennifer76, who went with not one, but two sets of accessories for Fall, including some fabulous metallic pumps and these great exotic-looking bangles.

Look #4, by Margaretha, who boldly paired the dress in autumn with pointy-toed boots and a cool wrap and chose a great sea-green bag for summer.

Look #5, by WhiplashGirlchild, who found what was probably my favorite summer bag/shoe combo, and the most unexpected. Coincidentally, she chose the same Fall shoes as AtlantaNoleGirl!
