Trend Alert: Lacy Layers

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Just when I thought I was over lace, Sienna wears it fresh. Not only is this outfit a wonderful example of styling prowess - from the mismatching, to the layers, to the silhouettes - but it makes lacy layers look ever so lovely. If you keep the color story similar, a lace tank can add a flirty touch to a look. Sienna's is cropped, showing off her saucy leopard print Topshop pants. You too can achieve this look, just DIY crop your lacy layer. If there were ever a time to encourage experimentation, this is it.

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 . . .

At the UK premiere, Vanessa Hudgens stole the spotlight in a fun polka-dot Simone dress, Catherine Malandrino motorcycle jacket, and Jimmy Choo double-strap pumps.

Style Glossary: Spaghetti Strap

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Spaghetti Strap

Very thin shoulder strap used on camisoles, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns, named for its resemblance to the thin pasta strings called spaghetti. Some institutions think spaghetti straps are immodest and therefore ban spaghetti-strapped clothing.

Spend your Summer in this Tibi Marrakech Halter Dress with spaghetti straps ($325).

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

You probably think crochet is best left for the elderly but think again. Mischa certainly doesn't think so. I always knew this girl was a flower child at heart and here she is looking crochet cool while frolicking in the warm sands of Malibu. You don't have to be beach-side to sport this trend. These vintage-inspired confections easily translate into a whimsical top or dress; just remember to play it cool.
