Look of the Day: Glazed Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:00:22 PDT

Sticky, hot Miami weather wasn't going to stop AngelaChristin from rocking leather pants - well sort of. These hot glazed jeans are the perfect substitute and give her the same leather look without sacrificing an ounce of style - pure genius.

Here's what she has on:

Jeans: Seven for All Mankind
Tank: Old Navy
Shoes: Aldo

Congrats to AngelaChristin!

While dressing up is fun, every Fabionista needs a great pair of black jeans for those days when going low-key is the preferred option.

I present to you these 7 for all Mankind Roxanne Jeans, Waist 31. They're super fitted, pitch black, and will be your best friend on those not-so-fresh days when all you feel like wearing is slimming black.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:30:22 PDT

Nicky Hilton was taking a casual stroll on Beverly Blvd. in her shrunken Kate Moss for Topshop vest, black skinny jeans and buckled flats. All the items I just described are old timers on the fashion scene (Kate also has the same vest), but what's new and divine is her Burberry Prorsum studded bag. It adds mega oomph to her simple outfit. For such a gorgeous piece, I'm shocked that no other celebs are carrying it. I bet Nicky likes it that way.

Celebrity Style: Jessica Alba

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:00:12 PDT

While everybody else showed up to the In Style Magazine and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Toronto International Film Festival Party in their best duds, Jessica Alba came in jeans and a t-shirt. The actress is super hip in her Rolling Stones tee and leather jacket. True, the rocker look has been killed to death in Hollywood, but Jessica looks surprisingly fresh. I think she's found her forte - edgy-cum-girly!

US Flag Junk Food Rolling Stones t-shirt, $30	Ulla Johnson Falcon Bomber, $770
Cheap Monday OP Black Skinny Jean, $65	Stuart Weitzman Beacon Scarlet Suede Pointy Toes Dress Shoes, $280
CALYPSO Christiane Celle Python Montecarlo Clutch, $555	Forever 21 Hammered Hoop Earrings, $4	Rachel Leigh New York Gold Ring, $52

Look of the Day: Less is More

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 11:51:22 PDT

Sometimes less is so much more when it comes to fashion, and Almostcrime seems to grasp that concept quite well in her less is more outfit. She categorized the ensemble as 70s western, but I beg to differ. I think Almostcrime's outfit is very modern and clean. I love how although a tucked shirt can look preppy, she manages to make it look cool with a pair of black skinny jeans and a skinny belt.

Here's what she's wearing:

White Button-down Shirt: Gap
Skinny Jeans: Levi's
Wedge Sandals: Old Navy
Skinny Belt: Her mom's from the 70s

Congrats to Almostcrime!

Look of the Day: Metallic Ace

Marisa Tom — Tue, 22 May 2012 03:00:49 PDT

By combining two of the season's slickest styles, Fab reader Stylesbyassitan nailed the cool-girl look with a shiny-cum-sporty twist. First, she paired her silver metallic skinny jeans with a red knit topper. Then she added an athletic accent via her retro, two-toned varsity jacket. For the outfit finale, she donned black pointy-toed pumps and toted a boxy, black patent-leather bag. It's a no-frills look with a lot of street cred.

Congrats, Stylesbyassitan!

Look of the Day: Bright White

Marisa Tom — Tue, 15 May 2012 03:00:52 PDT

Fab reader Dadouchic has provided us with a brighter-than-bright outlook on the denim trend. How did she do it? First, she paired a silky orange button up blouse with white skinny jeans. Then, outfitted the look with a black skinny belt, a bold oversized pink envelope clutch, and Zara's colorfully two-toned sandals. To finish, she added a gold watch, a stack of friendship bracelets, a gold pendant necklace, and modified cat-eye sunglasses. It's Summer-chic and perfect for an evening of cocktails al fresco.

Congrats Dadouchic!

9 Easy Tricks to Maximize Your Wardrobe

LearnVest — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:15:31 PDT

Despite what you think, you actually don't need more clothes. The trick is to just maximize your wardrobe. LearnVest shares how.

Whether you live for shopping the latest trends or wish you could spend every day in your favorite pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, your clothes project a message about who you are.

The great thing is that you have the power to control that message entirely - as long as what you already own isn’t standing in your way.

From having a wardrobe that’s bursting with every item of clothing you’ve had since childhood to owning a ton of pieces that you never wear (the definition of wasted money), these are the ways your closet can stop you from being the most stylish version of yourself.

To cut through the clutter and help you get the most from the items you already have, we polled everyone we know - including all of the LearnVest editors, who are definitely invested in looking their best on a budget, and one fashion expert - to come up with nine easy, inventive ways for you to make over the closet you have without spending a ton on new trends.

At least one of these strategies will dramatically change the way you feel about getting dressed in the morning.

1. Follow the Rainbow

This strategy comes courtesy of LearnVest reader Erin Greenbaum, who has used this technique for years with great success. Every day for a week, make sure that your ensemble includes an item of a certain color: week one is red, two is orange, three is yellow, etc. This will encourage you to search through your closet and actually wear the pieces that have been languishing, unloved, underneath your go-to items.

2. First In, Last Out

In her new book, You Are What You Wear, Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner says that the majority of people wear 20 percent of their closet 80 percent of the time. There are variations on this “first in, last out” wardrobe strategy, which prevent you from wearing a few pieces nonstop.

Instead of wearing the same small percentage of your closet every week, do what Assistant Editor Alden Wicker does: after wearing an outfit, she hangs it in the most remote corner of her closet, which forces her to see only pieces she hasn’t worn frequently. If she’s totally uninspired by a piece staring her right in the face, she has to decide whether to consign it or not. Another approach (which might be better if you like to organize by item type - dresses near dresses, shirts near shirts) is to hang each item inside out after you wear it (assuming you don’t have to wash it immediately). This way, you can easily see which pieces you’ve recently worn and which items you may have forgotten about.

Look of the Day: Peachy Keen

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:00:27 PDT

For a fresh, fun take on colored jeans and the white blazer, look to Fab reader JustPatience for instant styling inspiration. We love the crisp Spring look of her outfit - it's effortlessly chic and even easier to achieve. First, she paired peachy pink skinny jeans with a slouchy white t-shirt and a cool white boyfriend blazer. Then, to add a funkier vibe, she donned a Tom Binns-inspired collar necklace, zippered black peep-toe booties, and a gold sequined clutch. It's a bright ensemble that's just as wearable in the workplace as it is for after-hours cocktails.

Congrats JustPatience!
