Found! Serena van der Woodsen's Twill Shirtdress

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

I'm not used to seeing Serena so conservative on Gossip Girl, but I think I like it. In this scene, the hottie donned a Mason by Michelle Mason Mocha Shirtdress ($425). The warm hue looks amazing against her blond locks, and I love the unique zipper detail. A cool twist on a timeless shape.

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:30:22 -0700

As of late, newlywed Jenna Dewan has been spotted making the rounds at Hollywood parties looking extremely cute. Last night, she joined Katie Cassidy, at the Judith Leiber boutique opening party on Rodeo Drive. Check out her saucy shirtdress - Fab. This shape has been done over a million times, but the silky textile gives it a whole new attitude.

Interested? Jenna's dress is the Mike & Chris Chauncey Shirtdress ($126, originally $360). Her light khaki is color sold out, but the steel-gray hue is just as nice - and on sale!

Found! Blake Lively's Chambray Shirtdress

FabSugar — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:23:22 -0700

Just because Gossip Girl Blake Lively has hit instant fame doesn't mean she can't still shop on a budget. She can and she did recently with this Alpinestars Chambray Shirtdress ($68) she wore on her way to The Late Show With David Letterman. The bodacious blonde is really into casual shirtdresses, but considering the weather is warm and her body is hot, I can't blame her. I like how she rolled up the sleeves and went unbuttoned for an effortless feel. The dress could use some ironing, but since it's a casual style, it works.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Plaid Shirtdress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:00:08 -0700

At first glimpse, this D&G Dolce & Gabbana Plaid Shirtdress ($545) reminded me of something Paul Bunyan's wife would wear, but after a closer look, I think I kind of like it. The classic plaid is '90s grunge fabulous and the sleek silhouette lends a dressier feel to an otherwise casual textile. Do you agree or should it head back to the woods?

Celebrity Style: Vanessa Minnillo

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Vanessa Minnillo and beau Nick Lachey got out of their swimming suits and into regular clothes for a night out. Vanessa showed off her tan legs in a polished denim shirtdress. Such a dress is ideal for a warm night because it's loose and the sleeves will prevent you from getting cold in an air-conditioned restaurant. Her Louis Vuitton satchel, beige wedge sandals, and gold jewelry tie the look together without being overly matchy matchy.

Lux High Plains Drifter Dress - $48.00	Via Spiga Women's Zappa Wedge Sandal - $214.95
Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Hampstead MM - $1,290.00	ASOS Multi Beaded Row Necklace With Round Wood Pendent - $21.63
Golden Textured Bangles - $5.00

Effortless Chic: Shirt Dresses

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 13:12:50 -0700

If it's casual sophistication you're after, why not trade your jeans and t-shirt ensembles for a shirt dress? These button-front styles are like a longer but equally comfy version of your boyfriend's dress shirt. Worn with a wide belt over opaque tights or leggings, this is a great look for shopping, running errands, or even for the office, depending on the length. (Wearing a shirt as a dress, however, is a fashion don't.) Here are some looks to try at various price points.

Ya-Ya Shirt Dress, $215, available here.

Trend Alert: The Shirtdress

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:45:44 -0700

May I present to you a classic: the shirtdress. A timeless silhouette, these dresses can go from work to play with the swapping of accessories - and they are also date perfect (just unbutton a few on the top and the bottom). With the belted waist they complement womanly curves and you can even switch up the belt to create a fresh look. As well, the shirtdress is a great transition piece from Summer to Fall - just add some tights and a cardi and cozy up!

Fab Redux: Posh Pumpkin

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:00:22 -0800

What a ripe pumpkin color this dress has - imagine it in a sea of Fall drab and drabber - how it will pop! Speaking of popping, the collar looks Fab turned up. Between the ultrasuede fabric and the all-American cut, this 70's shirtdress ($72) hollers Halston, in a very good way.

If you're a size medium, this is your golden opportunity.

Fabarazzi!

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 04:00:44 -0700

Some of you may have noticed the user called Fabarazzi lurking around TeamSugar. We decided to hit the streets and capture random acts of fashion. This will in no way affect the already fun and fab Look Book, this is just another way to see who, what, and where different and unique styles are. You'll never see them coming and Fabarazzi is everywhere so "say fashion!"

I've got the fever, and so does Ms. Fuchsia Fever herself. We've all decided that shirtdresses work for any mood and what a way to stand out in the crowd with the color of the moment. She makes it more demure with some black hose and round toe pumps - very pin up girl! Her red lips and choppy cut are cherries on top.

If you are a budding Fabarazzi photog feel free to upload your own shots to my Street Style group. Word on the street is...fashion starts here!

The Look For Less: BCBG Max Azria Taffeta Shirtdress

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 10:16:41 -0700

I am crazy about almost every item of clothing that BCBG Max Azria comes out with. But if I really bought every BCBG item I loved, I'd be completely bankrupt. Just yesterday, in fact, I fell for this BCBG Max Azria Taffeta Shirtdress, available for $332 here. This piece puts a cute, tailored twist on the little black dress, with velvet trim, a tulle petticoat, and cute covered buttons.

If $332 seems a bit steep for you, however, I've found a super-cute and startlingly similar dress for $282 less. To see what it is, read more

It's the Johnny Collar Wrap Dress, yet another surprisingly stylish find from JC Penney, available for $49.99 here. It's cotton-spandex rather than silk, but it has the same great shirt-dress cut and big, playful bow. Both dresses would be a great option for a company cocktail party or other holiday gathering.
