Cheap & Chic: Bow-tiful Tops

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:00:22 PST

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.

Couture Fashion Week: Valentino

Hannah Weil — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:05:03 PST

Gowns swathed in toile-inspired prints and soft, wallpaper florals hinted at Jane Austin era romance at Valentino. There's a distinctly feminine feel, and a hint of both Parisian decadence and Victorian propriety in the collars, bows, and capes that topped delicate silver-embellished gowns and sheer-topped confections. Everything feels emphatically pretty - the softness, the bow and floral-appliqué adornments; even the slipper-style loafers are done up in the same florals and details.

Trends: Sheer, antique and toile-inspired florals, Victorian collars.
Colors: White, cream, and soft pink, blue, and green.
Key Look: The soft floral-print and embellished strapless gown; the creamy white shift.
Accessories: Embellished and printed loafers.
Who Would Wear It: Claire Danes, Kate Bosworth; the ultra-femme red-carpet beauties.

Add a playful blue tuxedo jacket to luxe velvet shorts, then top off the look with a sweet bow tie (extra points for a sequined one!).

Tori Spelling's Tips For Boho-Chic Holiday Style

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:56:09 PST

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. This week, Tori helps mamas hone their holiday style with some boho-chic style ideas.

Today I'm bringing you another hot holiday trend - boho chic! Let’s be honest, the '70s never really went away. If you are a vintage collector (like me) or if you just never threw away your (or your mama’s) '70s duds (hello, fellow fashion hoarders!), you can pull these looks straight from your own closet. Today’s boho chic holiday ensemble includes a (faux) fur coat, pussy-bow blouse, wide-leg pants, floppy hat, velvet burnout sweaters/accessories, and my ultimate favorite – vintage jewelry!

For Day
Not only is this look beyond glam, you can rock these separates throughout the year.

That luxe faux fur coat is from affordable British store Topshop, or you can raid your fave vintage store to find a look-alike.
A classic boho combo is a pussy-bow blouse and wide-leg pant. Taupe is the color of the season - whether on your nails or your shoes - it’s everywhere.
Try accessorizing it with a pop of color like the emerald green striped clutch by Edie Parker, pictured above.
This outfit has plenty of punch, so just to give it an added sparkle, I recommend dainty accessories. Pictured above is a Dana Rebecca necklace and Marc Jacobs’s bracelet. The sexy allure to this ensemble is that you are essentially covered up - chic and perfect for cold weather. Pin your hair back to highlight your best asset!

Dress Up Your Ponytail in 5 Minutes Flat

Allure — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:30:03 PST

We're excited to present this story from our friends at Allure:

Looking for a party-worthy hairstyle that doesn't involve disco-ball accessories or spending so much time fussing with top of your head that your biceps start to cramp? Try moving your usual ponytail or bun down. "Wearing your hair at the nape of the neck looks smart and chic," says hairstylist Andy Lecompte of the Andy Lecompte Salon in Los Angeles. (Bonus: this look is very on trend. Spring runways including Carolina Herrera, Chanel, and Ralph Lauren all featured low-lying hairstyles.) We asked Lecompte for his tips on how to perfect the look. To see how, just keep reading.

Look of the Day: Leopard Love

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:00:44 PST

Talk about rainy day cheer - Fab reader CBladyàlamode injected a much-needed dose of print and color into her cold weather wardrobe. She draped a slouchy leopard print top over a more formfitting black silhouetted dress, adding a textured button-down sweater with an oversize fur collar for dramatic effect. The mixing of animalistic elements was topped off by a bright red knit scarf, knee-high socks (with red bows at the hem), a wrist full of chunky bracelets and bangles, and tasseled brown loafers. We love that she rocked a clear bubble umbrella as the ultimate style-saving accessory - so smart and chic. Our thoughts on the finished look? Meow.

Congrats to CBladyàlamode!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!
