Trend Alert: Two-Tone Frocks

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:00:08 -0700

Have you been crashed by the sudden wave of two-tone frocks yet? If not, get your two-tone on now. Unlike most dresses, these give the illusion of separates. While an onlooker may think you spent a lot of time pairing a skirt and a top, really you only took a few seconds to slip on your genius two-tone frock. They're effortless, flattering, and fun. And they come in all sorts of color combos. What's not to love?

Trend Alert: Two Toned

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Sadly, not all of us can pull off this Armani Prive tonal black strapless gown. But all can be inspired by its two toned appeal. A bit Jekyll, and a bit Hyde, these pieces deliver some style surrealism. The effect spans clothes and accessories, so choose to be dramatic, be Klum.

The adventurer in me has been eyeing this Marc by Marc Jacobs "Twinsie" Cardigan ($268). Not only am I a cardigan collector, I am also crushing on anything gray. This is not your typical cardi; two toned, here I come!

Trend Alert: Two-Tone Clutches

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:00:22 -0700

One color is just not interesting enough anymore. Agreed. Colorblocking is always fun, and in small doses, like on a Marc Jacobs clutch, it's even more fun. Contrasting black and white is decidedly mod, while tonal colors are downright funky. Two-tone never looked so Fab.

Which Stylin' AMA Male Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:27:53 -0800

We're always talking about the ladies, but what about the men? At the 2009 American Music Awards, five stylin' males stood out on the red carpet. Joe Perry played it rock 'n roll cool, Adam Lambert worked his slim suit, Ne-Yo looked spiffy in a two-tone blazer and fedora, Pete Wentz did his military thing, and Keith Urban opted for all black. No doubt, they all dressed to impress, but which stylin' male is most Fab?

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Two Toned

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Take a close look. Do you notice the subtle juxtaposition between the smooth leather and suede of these Oscar de la Renta Leather Boots ($1,195)? This expert two-toned technique adds an exciting and elusive touch to boots. I like how the suede inset breaks up the smooth leather in a harmonious, hip fashion. Be daring and opt for a pair with patent detailing or better yet, contrast your neutral tone with a pop of color.

Marni Two-Toned Sandal: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

These Marni Two-Toned Sandals ($731) have me a little confused. Is it supposed to be casual, dressy - or maybe a little bit of both? I'm a bit wishy washy with this one and need your help. Are you loving this hybrid of sport and chic?

On Our Radar: Ray-Ban Wayfarers Get Two-Toned

FabSugar — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:00:22 -0700

This news couldn't have come at a more opportune time: Just when I was growing tired of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, the company is set to release its classic style in two-tone frames. What's more, a new slew of colors - candy apple red, ice blue, and lilac - are being created. Stores like Nordstrom, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale's, and Sunglass Hut will start selling them in April for $140 a pair.

Paris Hilton already has hers. I can see Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Kate Olsen also going ga-ga for these . . . get ready for yet another Wayfarer craze!

Aqua is one of my favorite affordable brands at Bloomingdale's. It offers of-the-moment pieces that make you stand out but not go broke. They recently constructed a fabulous look book featuring 12 outfits made out of 10 must-have Aqua pieces. A two-tone animal-print dress, sequined mini skirt, cashmere cardigan, plaid shirt, and ruched leggings are all part of the mix-and-match fun. You don't want to miss this.
