Look of the Day: Tie Dye For

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 05:50:22 PDT

For anyone who doubted tie dye's versatility, you'll want to check out northend style's take on the trend. It's super chic, and a little unexpected - that's why it's tie dye for. A muted tie dye mini is softer than you'd expect paired down with a white tee and earthy gladiators. It delivers personality for sure, but totally fem, so-not-typical tie dye.

Congrats to northend style!

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

Summer doesn't officially start until June 21, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get a head start on sunny essentials. Since FitSugar can school you on sun protection, we'll focus on the clothes. Luckily, one of our favorite Summer sites, Roxy, is currently hosting a superb sale. Select swimwear, dresses, hats, and accessories are marked up to 50 percent off.

Trend Alert: Tie-Dye Bags

If you're looking for that perfect splash of psychedelic color, look to tie-dye bags to fill your whimsy. Paired with a neutral palette - we love how Sarah Jessica Parker contrasted her Halston Heritage bag with a white top and green utility pants - these bright bags inject extra oomph like no other. If a full-on sac is too much for your taste, try it out in clutch form.

If Spring skirts are too girlie for you, then I recommend taking the shorts route. Gwyneth Paltrow has been showing off her tall gams via sexy shorts lately. There's a variety of directions you can take with shorts, depending on the occasion - Bermuda, mini, baggy, fitted, solid, printed, and so on. If anything, get the three hottest trends: tie dye, board shorts, and baggy boyfriend denim.

Fab Exclusive! Coachella Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 11:00:22 PDT

Last night, we spotted Whitney Port at Coachella looking festively funky in a pair of tribal print shorts by PH8, a loose Joe's Jeans printed tee, and mortal combat booties. It's comfy and we love the print mash-up. A small chain bag, a macho watch, and colorful glo-anklets complete her perfect concert ensemb. Try out a similar look for your next Summer festival!

Be sure to see what H&M had to say about Coachella too, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have had such a bitchin' time!

The Look For Less: Proenza Schouler Tie-Dye Tank

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:00:08 PDT

Did you happen to check out Proenza Schouler's Jack and Lazaro on Martha Stewart yesterday? So cute. In fact, they featured this amazing online-exclusive Hand-Dyed Tissue Tank ($275), and Martha showed the audience how to do a similar tie-dye treatment. Here's the deal: I love Proenza, but I don't have time for a DIY or the money for the original version. What's a Proenza-loving girl to do?

To see the look for less,

This Alloy Ryder Tie-Dye Tank ($23) has the same surfer cool color palette and loose cut. Granted, it's not hand-dyed to perfection, but it's still très awesome!

Love It or Hate It? Anthropologie Ocean Swell Curtain

CasaSugar — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:00:00 PDT

Tie-dye seems to be a resurging trend in the fashion world - one that even Tory Burch is heralding - but I'll certainly never be adding the groovy style to my wardrobe. It seems, though, that the dip-dyed material may be gaining momentum in the world of interiors, too. Anthropologie's new Ocean Swell Curtain ($138-$198) has 1970 written all over it. Would you bring these curtains into your humble hippie abode?

Trend Alert: Galactic Jackets

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:00:22 PST

While galactic shimmer is perfect for nighttime glamour, galactic jackets are ideal during the daytime. Girl about town and London-based stylist Caroline Sieber showed off this trend during Paris Fashion Week wearing a cool blue out-of-this-world printed jacket. Such statement jackets don't need a lot of accompaniments; a cute frock or dark skinnies would do. But leave it to Caroline - who's had past stints styling Emma Watson - to mash up her galactic wonder with a printed top. Want to get the same look? Abstract and cool-hued tie-dye patterns will take you one step closer to Pandora . . .

The Look For Less: Proenza Schouler Acid Tie-Dye

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:00:22 PST

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Proenza Schouler's Spring collection kicks ass. I dream of a Spring filled with tie-dye, aquatic hues, and chic surfwear. Unfortunately for me, my wallet isn't as sophisticated as my taste. But there's hope; a Fab reader tipped us off to a Proenza-esque piece from Target, similar in print to this top, that will look amazing come sunny days.

To see the Proenza-inspired piece,

These Xhilaration Tie Dye Print Board Swim Bottoms ($15) look like a sporty extension of Proenza Schouler's Spring line, no? So as not to be too matchy matchy, I'd pair it with a solid print top, maybe gray or white, and a sharp black blazer for polish. Surf, here I come.
