Look of the Day: Striking Blue

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

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 -0800

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 -0700

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 -0700

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 -0700

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.

Online Sale Alert! Moving Sale at ILoveShop.com

If you're an NYC gal you may be familiar with ILoveShop.com, as they have a store in town. The news is the store is moving - don't worry, it's just a few blocks away - but the better news is that their website is currently holding a moving sale of 25 to 50 percent off.

To please your indie spirit, browse online racks of Twinkle by Wenlan, Graham & Spencer, Sunner, Charlotte Ronson, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and beyond. This Antoinette Lee Anna Tote: Bone/Black ($266, originally $380) called out to me. Why do black and white look so darn good together?

Attenzione! Bargain hunters check out the sale section at Pinkstore.com where there are markdowns on Fall merchandise, but some items that can work for Spring too. Peruse the markdowns of merch by Sunner, Mint, Theory, Tracy Reese - need I go on? I'm debating this Marc by Marc Jacobs camille color block dress-teal, on sale for $139 (originally $198). It's so hard for me to resist Marc on sale! The only drawback is limited sizes so I wish you luck on your search.
