Inspired Spring: The Lisbon Sisters' Dreamy Chic

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 07:54:11 PDT

Based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides is the sleepy portrayal of the five Lisbon sisters and their mysterious suicides, set in a 1970s Detroit suburb. While the subject matter is melancholic, it's hard to ignore the soft, feminine fashion. The film's dreamlike aesthetic and moody tone showcased lots of gauzy, retro-romantic babydoll dresses and ruffled tops, flat leather wedges, and girly, '70s-style eyelet and lace. Shop our picks below to crib the Lisbon sisters' easy, innocent style for Spring.

I Want This Wardrobe: Jenny Humphrey

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:00:22 PDT

Tonight's Gossip Girl will circle around Dorota's wedding - aw. If the Upper East Siders act true to form, expect sideline drama and fancy fashions. We love how little Jenny turned up the volume on her tan dress with black floral lace tights, booties, and stacked diamond bangles. Still dressy enough for a wedding, yet undeniably Jenny.

Look of the Day: Striking Blue

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:00:22 PST

missfox is dressed to impress. Her striking blue shirt dress is stunning and sophisticated. I like how she cinched in the baggy shape with an edgy belt. Pairing it with black accessories makes for dramatic contrast.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Sunner
Belt: Topshop
Tights: Spanx
Booties: Zara
Chanel: Gifted

Congrats to missfox!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Dress Me Up: Bundle of Cool

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:00:22 PST

Among the things I love about Fall is that you can dress comfortably without being slobby. Roomy sweaters are the way to go - they provide warmth, hide the effects of comfort food, and make you a feel like a bundle of cool.

Shopbop has a collection of sweaters that fit the bill. This b.chyll Sable Cashmere Sweater ($418) is extra spacious and comes with handy oversize pockets. Sweet. Just be sure to keep the bottom portion of your outfit slim to balance out the look.

Trend Alert: Shake Your Groove Thing

FabSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 08:00:22 PDT

There's nothing better to shake your groove thing in than a disco-inspired jumpsuit. It's slightly different than a romper with shorts in that it's less resort-like and more dressy. We touched on the subject earlier this year because we had a hunch it would become a major Spring craze. And we were right. Emmanuelle Chriqui (in Stella McCartney), Rihanna (in Sonia Rykiel), Gwyneth Paltrow (in Stella McCartney), Diane Kruger, Helena Christensen . . . all these ladies have already shaken their groove thang, and you should, too.

Trend Alert: White Out

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 07:00:22 PDT

You knew this was coming: Warmer weather calls for white! Also, a crisp white item of clothing works wonders for a hangover - oops, did I just say that? But seriously, whether it's to refresh your day, show off your tan or for the hell of it, white definitely has its place in fashion. Upon revitalizing my closet, I realized I have tons of white blouses - and I wear them all. White dresses, on the other hand, not so many. Penelope is leading the white out in her MNG Mango dress, will you follow?

Trend Alert: Self-Belt Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:00:22 PDT

These aren't self-help dresses, sillies, these are self-belt dresses. For some self-help visit Dear but for some fabulous dresses stay here. Fashion is all about the waist right now - with the return to the strong female form - and these dresses make dressing a cinch, as they've already paired a belt with. Some of the belts tuck neatly into the back, some make an appearance in the front, all play up your curves.
