Cheap & Chic: Bow-tiful Tops

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Bows are über girlie, but when paired with masculine pieces, they create an outfit nothing short of perfection. Elisha Cuthbert has achieved just that. Her feminine, oversized, Phillip Lim satin bow top is downplayed by her high-waisted trouser jeans. Genius. Should you desire to tie yourself a bow, follow Elisha's lead, and do so for under $100.

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?

I Love Your ShopStyle: The Power of Red

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

CherryLady's architecturally appealing ensemble is all about confidence. I love how she exemplified the power of red by incorporating a draped skirt with an eccentric red houndstooth top by Alexander McQueen. The gray and red color combo is ideal for Fall, and notice how she contrasted the structural theme with a girly red bow. Let's not forget those Giuseppe Zanotti metal cap-toe booties - I'm dead.

Celeb Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Lucky Magazine and Madewell's Fall Denim Tour was the place to be last night. Celebs mixed and mingled, all of them looking super cute. But the real standout was mixmaster Rachel Bilson. Up top she wore a The Lady & The Sailor polka dot tank and a black ribbed cardigan, while on bottom she wore a cool black-and-white Myne skirt and combat boots. Her Phillip Lim bow bag softens her up, while the high bun adds further spunk to her funk.

Some girls are serious, but this girl just wants to have fun! AlphaBetaChic is wearing the most whimsically adorable outfit, isn't she? I love her black and white striped top and the big red bow.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Windsor

A Fabby Halloween: Cirque du Freak

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Cirque du Soleil turns 25 years old this year - a quarter of a century of amazing acrobatics, over-the-top costumes, and praise-worthy showmanship. If you've ever been to one of Cirque's shows, you know it's all about the theatrics. Lots and lots of it! Colorful stripes, silly polka dots, top hats, sequins, feathers, bow ties, and ballet slippers are all part of the freaky fun. For makeup ideas, check out Bella's 21 hair and makeup looks you WON'T be wearing come Spring. And unlike everyday life, you can pile on all these things on Oct. 31; the more, the freakier.

Just can't get enough?Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

The Look For Less: Peter Som Bow-Front Top

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:51:29 -0800

I absolutely love Peter Som's sophisticated black-and-white palettes and playful party dresses. Along the same lines is this Peter Som Crinkle Silk Chiffon Bow Front Top, which looks like it would be a great option for holiday parties. The chic sleeveless blouse has a big velvet bow and criss-cross straps in the back. There's only one small problem: It costs $1,000 here, which seems like a lot to pay for a shirt. That's why I was delighted to find a top that creates a similar effect for $960 less. To see what it is, read more

It's this Viktor & Rolf for H&M Top, which you can buy at any of the retailer's stores for just $34.90. It's got the same bold bow front, and the pale peachy pink would look just as great with a high-waisted black skirt. And the price is definitely more appealing! What do you guys think?

Diane Kruger Bow Tied and Suspendered: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

One time, I tried wearing a bow tie and suspenders and ended up looking more like a waiter than a fashionista. Boo. At the Inglourious Basterds premiere in Australia, Diane Kruger stepped out wearing a Chanel ensemble, consisting of a sleeveless white shirt, dotted bow-tie, black suspenders, and black tapered trousers. I'm semienvious she has the confidence to wear not one but two men's pieces on the red carpet. No matter what Diane is wearing up top, she always wears feminine footwear, this time Christian Louboutin Mary Janes. Do you approve of this androgyny, or is it too literal for your taste?

Look Book Love: Chloe, Fall '09

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Balancing the hard with the soft can be challenging but Hannah MacGibbon makes it look easy with her Fall collection for Chloe. For the upcoming Winter, the designer stirred up a magical potion of clean quirk, supplying us with tailored separates and whimsical dresses. I adore how her miniscule studs and oversized bow embellishments add a feminine touch to her sleek cuts. Don't you love how this sexy v-neck top counteracts the cropped pleated pants? Genius.

Trend Alert: Zippered Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

The '80s are back, and with them zippered jeans. I know, I know, it's trendy, and can be tacky, but look at how Comic-Con empress Emma Stone makes it look cupcake-cute. By pairing her dark blue zippered jeans with an ultra-femme bowed top, she bypassed the retro overtone. It's a perfect blend of tough and tasty.
