Back to Cool: Clueless

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

In high school, it's all about boys, popularity, and clothes. Yep, sounds about right. No movie portrayed that better than Clueless. In her most outstanding role, Alicia Silverstone played Cher, and along with her BF Dione, took newbie Tai under their wings and transformed her into one of the most coveted girls in school. All it took was a couple knee-high socks, short plaid skirts, platform pumps, and a Beverly Hills attitude. See, it's so easy to go from clueless to coolness. As if!

On Our Radar: Thomas Pink Makes Room For the Ladies

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Thomas Pink has big plans. The shirt-maker, known for his collection of immaculate shirts for men and women, is set to add a trendy women's line to his repertoire.

Designed by Londoner Richard Nicoll, the womenswear collection will include delicate shirt-inspired jackets, skirts, and dresses in muted color palettes such as the ruffled silk dress pictured. "It was my intention to do something more soft and fluid, as my signature is more structured pieces," said Nicoll. Prices for the women's collection will range between $150 for a shirt to $750 for a dress.

Simply Fab: No See 'ems Blouse Front Closures

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 08:20:22 -0700

Busty girls can understand this fashion dilemma: you're wearing a button down blouse for a job interview or a business meeting and realize (when it's a little too late) that anyone standing within a foot of you can see your sexy lace bra through the crack between the buttons and your chest. The well endowed can now cover up those horrible gaps with No See 'ems from Atlanta-based company, Bug Catcherz.

Here's how to use the clear strip of heavy tape that's sticky on both sides.

Place the strip vertically on the part of your shirt with the buttons, and slip the opening in the middle of the strip around the problem area button.
Remove the two strips in the back and press firmly against your shirt.
Remove the two top strips, slip your button back on and press the strip against the other side of your shirt.

Trend Alert: Boyfriend Shirts

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Not so fast, Rih! Let me examine your cool top before you rush off to dinner. I love how boyfriend shirts give off a sexy, masculine appeal. In fact, I have a couple from a past boyfriend that have lasted me longer than our relationship. Ha. When wearing this looser cut, keep the rest of your outfit feminine via accessories, a la Rihanna - skinny jeans, skirts, or tailored shorts. Word to the wise: check out the men's section for a greater variety. A men's extra-small fits me perfectly . . .

Trend Alert: The Boyfriend Shirt

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:20:33 -0700

Once in a while a trend comes along we borrow from the boys - literally. There are so many ways to wear his classic white men's button-down shirt, or his Hanes white v-neck (and, for some reason, the color white is always ideal). Wear it cool and collected like Ashley, wear it effortlessly tomboy style like Kirstin, or wear it to bed undone sexy style. Oh, and it's also a comfy cool beach cover-up!

Anyway you slice it, borrowing your boyfriend's shirt can be styling fun - just remember to femme it up with an undone button, or three, something sleek and tight on bottom, and a good attitude.

Look of the Day: Less is More

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 11:51:22 -0700

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!

Oak Cropped Button Pocket Chambray Shirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

It was lust at first sight with this Oak Cropped Button Pocket Shirt in Chambray ($127). It's such a simple idea, taking a men's shirt and cropping it, but I think it makes a world of a difference. It's a more girlie and modern take on the boyfriend shirt. I can so see Ashley Olsen sporting it with black stovepipes and crazy shoes, but would you wear it, too?

If you love it like I do, but you're not ready to spend the dough, take on a DIY project by cropping one of your boyfriend's or dad's chambray shirts yourself.
