On Our Radar: Net-a-Porter Transitions Into Fall

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:00:22 PDT

The transitioning weather has left me nonplussed. For the past couple weeks, I've found myself standing in front of my closet longer then I would like - I don't know what to wear. It's not exactly freezing outside, but I can't pull off bare legs. So what's a girl to do?

Luckily, Net-A-Porter has put together an inspiring selection of transition-friendly items that will help us through this rough patch. Remember, it's all about working layers and finding an amazing pair of boots, much like these amazing Jimmy Choo Heather Patent boots. Check out some of my favorite pieces.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

Kate Moss and her crew - daughter Lila Grace and boyfriend Jamie - loaded up the car and headed to who knows where. The important thing is that Kate looked snazzy in a tweed blazer, navy jeans, and moccasin boots. Of course, she didn't leave home without her macho watch and white Hermes Birkin. That thing looks stuffed; I wonder what's in it. The look is quintessential Kate but also a great example of a transitional ensemble.

Celebrity Style: Ashley Olsen

It looks like the weather is cooling in NYC (already?), but Ashley Olsen kept herself warm in an incognito long black coat. Her choice of black sandals, however, revealed that it's still Summer. The actress stuck to her usual subdued palette by finishing the look with a gray scoop tee, skinny jeans, and of course, a macho watch. To add to her elusiveness, Ash wore black angular sunnies. Transitional style done right.

Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:00:11 PDT

I've been looking for good examples of transitional outfits, and leave it to Charlize to give us one. If you still want to show off your tan gams come Fall, layers are the answer. This look manages to be both cozy and collected. Sometimes the idea of throwing things on and cinching it all together with smart accessories just works. Charlize's choice of earthy hues does no wrong, either.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Transitional Clothes

Ah, the transition between seasons. It's the only time you have your entire wardrobe to play with. It's not so hot that you can go out in a tank top, but it's not so cold where you need a jumbo parka. The key to dressing for this limbo period is layering.

I started you off with this Mini-Star Print Scarf ($20) because it's right on point with the latest starry-eyed trend. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by leeluvfashion is prim, proper, and bright; it's warm but not suffocating.

Fall in Love . . . With Belted Coats

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:18:03 PST

We are thrilled to share this story from Lauren Conrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven has started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. This week, she's sharing her favorite belted coats.

It’s easy to look frumpy during the Winter when you’re hidden beneath layers upon layers of clothing. But you don’t have to be a fashion victim just because the mercury dropped. Instead, take a cue from Burberry Prorsum and Diane von Furstenberg and belt that bulky coat of yours! Defined waists are coming back in a major way for 2012, which makes belted coats the perfect transitional piece for this trend. I love the belted look because I think it’s a nice way to create a waist when it’s cold. And I love the understated femininity of the look as well. As a matter of fact, I even designed one for an upcoming Paper Crown collection (stay tuned!).

The belted look can be achieved a couple of ways: Simply cinch your coat or jacket at the waist with your favorite belt or buy a pre-belted (or waist-tie) coat/jacket. You can even work this trend with a closed blazer and cute belt, too. The belted coat works for all body types. It’s universally flattering and adds the ultimate chic-factor to drab Winter wear. The best part? It’s a cinch!

Here are a few of my favorite belted coats:

Topshop Military Belted Coat
Urban Outfitters BB Dakota Romain Belted Coat
Vanessa Bruno Camel Belted Coat

Which one is your favorite?

Also, how do you feel about the belted coat look?
