Jordana Brewster Wears Slim Denim and a Striped Top

With the move toward bell-bottoms and '70s flares, it's a nice change-up to see Jordana Brewster sporting the slim style we've loved for seasons. Even more classic is her button-down, tucked in, to take the denim from casual-wear to event-worthy wear. Really, the style isn't exclusive to skinnies; in fact, if you tuck it in to high-waisted flares you'll achieve the same clean look — and a Read more

It's a totally laid-back look that can easily go from day to night. Congrats to neonbee! Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!   Read more

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.

Back to School Style 2008-08-21 15:00:22

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 Read more

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

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 Read more

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 Read more

Zara May Lookbook 2012

With both cool-girl appeal and the prettiest white lace and crochet, Zara's May collection might best be characterized as an exercise in perfect boy-meets-girl dressing. The retailer artfully delivers the best of both worlds: the most feminine and sophisticated kind of separates, like a little lace waistcoat or a ladies-who-lunch tweed jacket, then a slouchy pair of tomboy-fit studded jeans and a Read more
