Noria Morales — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:03:11 PST

When you're shopping, the real test of a piece's value is how versatile it is. Can you wear it to work, on the weekend, on a date, on a trip? If you can, most likely you've got a wardrobe winner. Case in point: this Quiksilver printed tunic is pretty, with a springy print and sheer texture. It's perfect for the beach and throwing on over your bikini. But it can also be worn every single day of the week, for pretty much every occasion. Want to see? We style one piece, seven ways. Click to shop.

Trend Alert: Not a Man's Tie

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:00:04 PDT

When Milla Jovovich suited up for an event in Tokyo, she finished her look with a smartly tied scarf, aka not a man's tie. It's a kind of literal substitution, which makes it all the more playful - a sexy finisher for a masculine look. And, just the way a guy changes up his tie to fit the suit, feel free to mix and match with menswear-inspired separates; we like it styled best with boyfriend blazers and vests for something Fall fresh.

A Fabby Halloween: Working Girl

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:50:22 PDT

If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume, both for time and for money, and want to be able to recite a really great line throughout your spooky evening, consider being a Working Girl.

Now is prime time for an ode to this '80s power chick flick: shoulder pads are in. We all have the office basics for this, but insert the largest shoulder pads you can find into your blazer. Tease your curls, wear your pearls, and slather on the red lipstick. Bonus funny points for wearing white sneakers instead of sexy black pumps. "I have a head for business and a body for sin."

Online Sale Alert! Deals on Diesel Black Gold

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:00:11 PDT

The Diesel site doesn't announce it, but if you look hard enough (it's actually not that hard), you will find some serious deals on the brand's premiere Black Gold label. Cool denim and off-kilter separates are abundant. I stumbled across this Diesel Bester Denim Blazer ($150, originally $500) - and what a helluva price reduction. Only thing is, sizes are limited, but if you're an XXS, XS, or L, you're in luck. A denim blazer is a sneaky alternative to the black ones we've been inundated with this year. If I learned one thing from Ralph Lauren's American Spring collection it's to take denim-mixing risks. At that price, it's worth the risk!

FABTV: Janet Jackson "What Have You Done For Me Lately"

FabSugar — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 15:12:22 PDT

Janet just wanted a little shoulder bopping and head snapping time with her man. I totally get that. There are lots of songs about romance, but what about when your other half isn't doing much for you, lately? Attitude is one thing Janet had; she also had really big shoulder pads, but let's focus. Though I've never experienced a girls against boys dance-off in a diner, if it's going to be like this, I certainly want to. This song has a killer beat and a steadfast groove. Janet was also a master of group choreographed numbers, like this one. Please also note her gold lamé shirt, black blazer, and unmistakable smile (those chubby cheeks!).

Look of the Day: Fashion Happy

FabSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 05:00:22 PDT

Sometimes we need to just kick back, take a look at our closets and be fashion happy. It's an easy mantra, as shopaholic630 will tell you. Her look is modern, edgy and fun - a combo fit for a style killing. The gray, purple and black color story is one of my favorites.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Express
Dress: Betsey Johnson
Booties: Nine West

Congrats to shopaholic630!

Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:00:22 PDT

Charlize made an appearance at the AFI Dallas Film Festival mixing up a menswear-inspired ivory blazer with feminine touches. The crispness of the blazer is all she needs to give her skinny jeans and satin tank a polished feel, and the gold embellishments she chose, most notably the gorgeous Van Cleef & Arpel's earrings, up the glam factor. What I love most about this is that this would translate seamlessly into a daytime look with a more casual tee and some reaccessorizing. Leave it to Charlize to always look perfectly glamorous in the simplest gear.
