Congrats to michellehendra!

Celebrity Style: Rihanna

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:00:22 -0800

We can always count on Rihanna to deliver fresh goods. The singer did some shopping in LA - here leaving Opening Ceremony - and looked flawless, head to toe. She funked up classic pearls by pairing them with a men's style chambray shirt. To retain femininity, she wore a Twenty8Twelve mini linen skirt, nude sandals, and matching white jewelry. Not the most comfortable way to shop, but certainly the most stylish.

Celebrity Style: Michelle Williams

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 02:00:22 -0700

It may be Labor Day, but Michelle's keeping white pants in her rotation. Sometimes minimalism can be so refreshing - peel away all the layers and capture simplicity. That's what Michelle achieved while out and about with adorable daughter Matilda. She opted for a chambray shirt, white cropped jeans, light pink flats, and a brown messenger bag. The Ray Ban Wayfarers round out the look - too cool.

Found! Blake Lively's Chambray Shirtdress

FabSugar — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:23:22 -0700

Just because Gossip Girl Blake Lively has hit instant fame doesn't mean she can't still shop on a budget. She can and she did recently with this Alpinestars Chambray Shirtdress ($68) she wore on her way to The Late Show With David Letterman. The bodacious blonde is really into casual shirtdresses, but considering the weather is warm and her body is hot, I can't blame her. I like how she rolled up the sleeves and went unbuttoned for an effortless feel. The dress could use some ironing, but since it's a casual style, it works.

Celebrity Style: Reese Witherspoon

FabSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

I rarely feature the same celebrity two days in a row, but it's been so long since we've seen Reese out of her workout clothes, I couldn't resist. Here, she's taken a very classic look - a chambray shirt, white jeans, khaki cardigan - and added a twist with the low-slung belt. The brown accessories, mainly the flip-flops and hobo bag, add some depth to the ensemble. Altogether, it's a crisp look, perfect for Spring.

Chambray Buttonfront Shirt - $78.00	Long pocket cardigan - $49.50
Tall white denim bootcut jean - $95.00	Linea Pelle dark brown shredded leather belt - $39.99
Frye - Brooke Thong (Dark Brown) - $162.00	Derek Lam Guinivere Saddle Grande Bag - $1,925.00
'Anja' sunglasses - $98.00	Rachel Leigh Gold Plated Knot Bangle Bracelet - $32.00

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.

Trend Alert: Chambray

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 11:02:22 -0700

Chambray is a classic fabric that seems to resurface for Spring every couple years. The new versions have updated styling but the same laid-back appeal. I say toughen chambray up with black or a pair of chunky platforms and some of this season's metallics. Chambray's not just for yuppies any more! Here are my picks.

Paper Denim dress, $110.

J. Crew Chambray skirt, $78.

Chambray Top & Leather Belt, $184 (for top only).

Banana Republic's Sporty Sleek Spring '10 Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Banana Republic is giving me something to look forward to come Spring. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. "We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too," said Banana Republic's president, Jack Calhoun. And that they did providing us with neutral-tailored separates along with colorful, silky splashes. I especially love this seafoam silk tunic dress - so luxuriously simple.

While shorts and skirts dominated the runway, cropped pants also played a key role in the storyline. Clean-cut chinos and jeans were cut right above the ankle for a refreshing, chic look. On the accessories front, I adored the straw fedoras and leather-mule sandals. Affordable and amazing - just the way I like it.

A Classic: The Jean Jacket

FabSugar — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 13:15:33 -0700

Some gals will never part with their good 'ol faithful jean jackets - myself included. I have a white one and a dark denim one, both by the now-expired Earl Jeans, and though I haven't been wearing them much, I will never rid of them. Jean jackets are a casual cool cover-up and yes, there are many ways to wear one. I found a few classic styles and a few modern styles so there's something for everyone. Enjoy!

2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Jason Wu

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:00:22 -0700

I couldn't help but ask myself, "Would Michelle Obama wear that?", while checking out Jason Wu's tantalizing Spring collection. Indeed, I saw a couple pretty dresses that Michelle would jump for, but his creations aren't just for the First Lady. Any cutie would be so lucky to don his array of youthful separates and magical frocks. For separates, the designer dreamt up a range of sporty, yet polished tweed suits, chambray tops, metallic pleated skirts, and a ton of fun prints. Dresses varied from romantic shapes adorned with frothy feathers and intricate ruffles, to polished streamlined sheaths, and flirty cocktail dresses.

For color, Wu accompanied vibrant hues of coral, purple, blues, deep yellow, and pink with classic neutral tones. To offset the bold colors, the designer kept his shapes structured and modern. All together a very wearable, very wonderful collection - I cant wait until Spring! 2009 was a great year for Wu but I'm thinking 2010 might be even greater.
