Dress Me Up: Oh, Sheer

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

See-through clothes make most gals say, oh, sheer. But we can't avoid the trend altogether because it was everywhere on the Spring runways, including BCBG (left) and Marc Jacobs.

What we can do is find a sheer style that works for our lifestyles and body types. That's precisely what a good friend of mine did recently when she bought a see-through watercolor slip and wore it as an ultrafemme dress.

The key is to find a slip to pair underneath. Pick a fun color so it purposefully shows and mimics the runways. The next time you hit up a department store, don't overlook the lingerie department. Find a sheer slip that can pass as a dress or top, wear it with a colorful slip, and sheer on!

Trend Alert: Baby-Doll Looks

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:34:31 -0800

Do you dream of pink ruffles, pastel hues, and big, bouncy bows? Sounds like an alternate female Willy Wonka universe to me. We were all there at one point in time; there being a six-year-old, pretty in pink, girlie girl. I swear I am not a super girlie girl but I do blog about fashion, get weekly manicures, and am wearing fuchsia pumps with bows on them as I write, so you be the judge. Baby-doll looks are a plenty right now, and best worn in small doses. Harden these looks with some dark denim or black if you must. Go ahead, and get girlie. Check out my designer and non-designer picks:

Betsey Johnson Babydoll Battenburg Dress, $310.

American Eagle Superlong Boyfriend Tank in Pink Allure, $19.50.

Hollywould Coral Wilshire Sandal, $365.

Alloy Bow Bag, $29.50.

Gold Hawk Tiered Skirt in Rose Petal, on sale for $94 (was $187).

The Look For Less: Ivy Babydoll Jumper

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 06:09:44 -0700

Babydoll jumpers are incredibly hot right now, with celebrities like Ashlee Simpson showing off their cute button-front styles all over town. But so far, most of the jumpers I've been able to find are incredibly pricey, like this Ivy Babydoll Jumper, available for $285 here.

For a very trendy piece that will most likely look ridiculous next Fall, it seems silly to pay such big bucks. Thankfully, one of our favorite discount chains has come up with a pretty spot-on imitation of the designer jumpers, for about $260 less. To see what it is, read more

It's the Forever 21 Relaxed Fit Dress, available for just $24.80 here. Sure, Forever 21 clothes tend to fall apart after a few months, but can you really see yourself wearing this jumper two years down the road? I think not. So get this cute look on the cheap while it's hot.

Who Wore It Better? Sequined Balenciaga Babydoll Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:00:22 -0700

Remember that gorgeous sequined Balenciaga babydoll dress Sienna Miller wore to the premiere of Factory Girl? Well, during my usual morning visit to PopSugar today, I caught Katie Holmes wearing the same dress seven months later! This is a tough call because both ladies are wearing black opaque tights and patent pumps - almost identical. I approve of both. Who gets your vote?

The Look For Less: Mike & Chris Babydoll Hoodie

FabSugar — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 08:20:22 -0700

Thanks to Mike & Chris, stylish girls can wear hoodies without looking like a member of a sports team! This Mike & Chris Bailey Bubble Dress, $308, is very popular, especially with celebs like Rachel Bilson. It's feminine, it's comfortable, it's perfect for those days when you don't feel like dressing up. But, there's one minor problem: it costs way more than most gals are willing to spend on casual wear.

Thanks Rocklobster for alerting us to this Old Navy Babydoll Coat, $35. It screams "Mike & Chris" but the only difference is it doesn't burn a hole in your bank account. For that low price, you can buy it in heather grey and natural, too. Three hoodies are so much better than one!

Victoria's Secret Eyelet Babydoll Blouse: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 09:22:43 -0800

Since I became a redhead last summer I have taken to wearing the color green more often. Here is a Victoria's Secret Eyelet Emerald Babydoll Blouse, $88, that was found by Fashionsugar in the Love It or Hate It? group. This top has so many cute elements: the emerald green color, the eyelet detailing and a babydoll cut. But something is amiss here. What do you all think, love it or hate it?

We've been experiencing a heat wave here in SF, so Lili_c's babydoll baby look is looking migh-ty fine to me right about now. I love how she played up the nautical look with the skinny red patent belt against the navy and blue. Oh, and way to show off those legs!

Top: Mango
