Celebrity Style: Chloe Sevigny

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

Just when I was fearing a safe season of LBDs, Chloe walked the printed carpet in head-to-toe mint green Balenciaga. Phew! She stood out at the 12th Annual ACE Awards: Accessories Council Honors Fashion Influencers in an easy silk T-shirt dress, a rhinestone choker, nude swirly sandals, and a saucy metallic clutch. I covet her undone hair and her comfy chic look. If I were wearing a complete Balenciaga outfit, I would be at ease, too.

We're With the Band: Rock the Vintage-Tee Trend For an Infinitely Cool Outfit Twist

Hannah Weil — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:53:09 PDT

A look at Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Stroup, and Kristen Stewart's looks inspired one thought: these girls look seriously cool. The common denominator in each of their ensembles is a sweet, vintage-feeling t-shirt that takes jeans and shorts to an infinitely more awesome place. Sure, a white cotton tee or your favorite tank could top your separates just as easily, but a t-shirt that pays homage to your best-loved bands or touts a favorite saying delivers the kind of cool-girl edge that makes these style-setters' looks pop. Dress up the look à la Ashley Madekwe with pointed pumps and statement earrings, or add a blazer and studded loafers for a pulled-together everyday style that delivers more of a statement. If you're feeling Jessica Stroup's take on the trend, then reach for lacy shorts and ankle boots to further the '90s feel. Any way you choose to wear yours, the effect is universally cool. Just shop our editors' picks to find your own tee, or head to your local thrift stores and flea markets to seek out the style that suits you best.

Hannah Weil — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:25:22 PDT

We got a pleasant surprise at last night's Splendid Soho store opening when we spotted fellow party guest Brooklyn Decker. With a new film under her belt - and a collection of seriously gorgeous premiere and press looks to go with - not to mention, one very hot new editorial in GQ, we've been following Brooklyn's every styled move. Last night, we got the chance to talk Battleship tour, her styling M.O., and find out a little more about those amazing gold sneakers. Read on for 60 seconds with the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker - and shop her whole look from last night.

FabSugar: Tell us a little about your look and how you styled your Splendid tee for tonight?
Brooklyn Decker: "I'm wearing Opening Ceremony, Splendid, and Miu Miu. I love basics, but you've got to mix them with something a little funky, so I picked the Opening Ceremony skirt. I'm a bit of a tomboy so as soon as I put on this skirt, truth be told, I felt way too girlie, so I put on sneakers."

If you're looking to perfect that effortless-cool, rocker-inspired style, Zara's newly revealed TRF April lookbook may have just what you're looking for. Even if you aren't music-festival bound, this lookbook is hard to ignore - Ruby Aldridge lights up in a collection of vintage-inspired t-shirts, tweedy jackets, and utilitarian vests to balance Spring whites and vibrant prints.

Finish with the collection's strappy suede flats and we may just have landed on our new seasonal uniform. Read on for our favorite pieces and styling tips - then click through to get a glimpse of every look.

This utilitarian vest would offset lacier dresses just as well as it would layered up over a striped tee and jeans to add interest to our everyday looks.
We love the Spring-fresh mint hue on this lightweight layer - plus the tweedy texture has that quintessential rocker-chic quality we're always looking to steal from Kate Moss.
This sheer blouse has both an effortless cool and a touch of femininity that would be easy to wear dressed up or down.

Celeb Style: SJP Perfects the Art of the Neon Pop

She may be dressed down, but even off duty Sarah Jessica Parker knows how to make an outfit pop. We spotted the actress leaving her NYC home in a casual jeans and tee - but not without a little color interest. SJP played right to one of our favorite trends with a neon pink scarf in hand, offsetting her gray t-shirt and relaxed denim. She makes it look easy, completing her transitional style with a pair of adorable ballet-style shoes, with just a hint of a heel. Keep this in mind for the days you're short on time - a splash of color goes a long way. Feeling inspired? Shop our editors' picks to channel the same effortless polish.

Go the Extra Mile: How to Add Intrigue to Your Tee + Jeans Look in No Time Flat

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:16:47 PST

When it comes to getting dressed in the morning, sometimes it's just easier to get up and go rather than think about making the extra effort for your ensemble - you're tired, you haven't had coffee yet, and grabbing a white t-shirt and a pair of worn-in jeans seems like your only option. Truth is, it only takes a minute (or less!) to jazz up your classic tee and denim look, and in three simple steps:

First, throw on a chunky statement necklace. If you've been living in a hole and don't happen to have a statement necklace, you can create your own by layering a few chains.
Add a bright blazer. If your t-shirt is fitted, a boyfriend blazer will look chic and effortless. If your tee is on the slouchier side, keep the blazer a bit more fitted.
Tuck in your tee, even just a little. It'll look polished and put-together, not to mention very Emmanuelle Alt-esque.

Peruse J.Crew's Colorful March Catalog, Plus Spring Styling Tips

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:35:45 PST

J.Crew just released its March catalog, shot in the picturesque mountains of Uruguay, supplying us with cute color combo inspiration and covetable Spring separates. As expected, the looks are perfectly styled, showcasing green sequined skirts with purple cotton shirts, bright yellow shorts with cobalt-blue toppers, and our favorite look, silk printed trousers paired with an effortless denim button-up. Accessories featured an array of two-tone leather satchels and cute woven sandals, and if a warm vacation is set in your future, check out J.Crew's collection of sweet vintage-inspired swimwear. Read below for styling tips we culled from the collection, then peruse the slideshow to see the rest of the lookbook.

Spring styling tips:

Do invest in a pair pf printed trousers. Dress it up with heels and a silk blouse for an evening out, or downplay the print with a white tee and oxfords for a more casual effect.
Combine solid bright separates together, like a green skirt with an orange shirt, to create a simple yet standout Spring look.
We love feminine pencil skirts. Style it up with a denim button-up shirt and platform sandals for a chic office-appropriate ensemble.
