Cheap & Chic: Black High-Waisted Shorts

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

While Miranda Kerr took her high-waisted black shorts on a tropical vacation, Lauren Conrad wore hers out on the town with an Alexander Wang top. It goes to show how versatile high-waisted black shorts are. They can weather extreme heat and go party hopping with you, too!

As exemplified by both Miranda and Lauren, you should tuck your top into your shorts, to show off the high waist. Just make sure your top is not too frilly or loud; the high-waist style is already a tad trendy on its own.

Blake Lively in Bow-tiful Marchesa: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

It's clear by now: Blake Lively loves low-cut. At the NYC premiere of her latest flick, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, the actress wore one of the most plunging tops she's worn in a while. But, the long sleeves of the Marchesa jacket, as well as that big whimsical bow, keep her from being too risque. Black shorts show off her long stems and white pumps bring the look full circle. Do you fancy it?

Notice how Serena van der Woodsen toned down the sexy in this episode of Gossip Girl. During a congressional visit, the Upper East Sider wore a navy boyfriend blazer over a simple black minidress.

Ashlee Simpson's Cropped Chic: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:30:22 -0700

So we're still on the fence about crop tops? Melrose Place maven Ashlee Simpson can maybe help sway. She worked the trend in the most precious way. Her black Carol Malony bra top combined with high-waist Malanrino tuxedo shorts prevents too much tummy reveal. A chic black blazer and pretty heels keep everything tasteful. Black-deco Paolo Costagl earrings add a unique flair, while her little cinnamon-bun 'do is totally now. What do you think of Ashlee's cropped chic?

Jessica Stroup looks smashing in fancy frocks, but at an LA party last night, she proved that casual wear is also her thing. The actress exuded retro by tucking a white V-neck halter top into high-waisted, black mini shorts.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince set out on a shopping excursion in London yesterday. Is that Browns I see in the background? The super stuck to her usual uniform - black blazer, Ray-Ban Wayfarers - but switched things up in a pair of pleated denim shorts. Those large pleats remind me of the pleats on Alexander Wang's Gap/CFDA khaki shorts. I smell a trend, do you?

Wish I'd been there. The Spike Scream Awards gathered the hottest and coolest of the scary genre Saturday night. Twilight fans had Taylor Lautner to scream at, True Blood lovers cheered on the award-winning show, Vampire Diaries newbies flaunted their stuff, and directors Quentin Tarantino and J.J. Abrams received recognition. Style mavens Kate Bosworth and Liv Tyler were even there. Lush leather, short skirts, and severe black dominated, but no one can ever upstage Johnny Depp's eclectic element. Check it out!

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

You must have noticed the tweed rage these days. Everyone is wearing it in some form. I loved Olivia Palermo's tweed H&M shorts so much, I got the matching jacket recently. While most tweed jackets are cropped, this Vintage Gray Stone Tweed Coat, size small, is equally chic. It looks good open and closed, and the black piping and big buttons are super cute. Especially if you live in cold climate, I suggest bundling up with this tweed-tastic piece.

The current bidding price is $10.99 and the auction ends on Thursday, October 22. Good luck and happy bidding!
