Trend Alert: Sharp Trousers

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

It's tempting to wear the usual jeans, leggings, or tights during cold months, but I double dare you to try something new. Just look to Rachel Bilson for inspiration. Instead of donning the expected denim and top combo, the cutie paired a crisp white shirt with a pair of sharp trousers.

Note: these pants are all about the perfect fit. Ankle or cropped lengths can be flattering, just don't forget to complement them with fresh footwear.

Trend Alert: Amazing Ponchos

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Don't deny the power of the poncho. I initially told you about them last year, but you weren't feeling me. How about giving amazing ponchos another try? I have - I've been wearing my gray and white alpaca knit poncho from Peru left and right. They're all over stores now, and I also peeped a ton on the Spring '10 runways. There's a style for every girl: country cozy, city sleek, and Mexicana. This decadent cream confection from Chloe's show is my inspiration piece. It's like a beautiful baby blanket, ultra luxe, ultra cozy.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Orange Meets Brown

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Have you ever tried pairing orange and brown? If not, take ashley303's lead. It's a breathtaking duo. The orange silk Chloé dress she found can stand on its own, but thrown over brown leggings, it gains edge. The stone hoop earrings reel in elegance, while the feather boots (which match Kate Moss's feather headpiece) pull in some boho funk. Orange you glad you tried it?

Celeb Style: Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne strolled stylishly through the streets of Paris during Fashion Week. She worked a buttoned-up look via a green silk blouse, white blazer, and black tapered trousers. Her black crocodile satchel and gold chain belt serve as luxe accessories. This outfit may be too conservative for a night out, but it would work perfectly for the office or a chic lunch.

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Chloé

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:00:22 -0700

You can spot a Chloé a mile away. That's not to say Hannah MacGibbon has a formula, but rather, a distinct aesthetic, which has come to define the house. While Spring '10 was muted in color, it was bursting in silhouette. Hefty ponchos, cropped capes, leather boy shorts, sharp suits, and leather overalls were among the offerings. A major theme was crisp button-down shirts, buttoned all the way to the top. In that sense, this collection is buttoned-up. It's a collection for a warrior woman, one who isn't afraid to embark on an unknown journey, stylish poncho in hand.

So as not to abandon her more flirtatious customer, however, Hannah added a few flowy skirts and an airy white accordion-pleated frock - wedding dress anyone? And for the denim-loving gal, one look: a patched button-down denim shirt and comfy jeans. Onward ho!

Trend Alert: Drawstring Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Just when I think we've covered every boot trend out there, a new one pops up. While doing my daily perusing on ShopStyle, I came upon an abundance of drawstring boots. This style is an ode to Captain Hook and other fashionable pirates, but with a modern twist. Notice how these sumptuous, structured Brian Atwood Matrix Boots ($1,170) illicit a casual, luxurious vibe. Aye, Mate!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: PartySugar's Birthday!

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

A couple weeks ago, PartySugar turned the big 2-8. To celebrate her big day, she hosted an outdoor dinner with a group of her closest friends. The delicious menu was set, the linens were arranged, and all she needed was an amazing dress. I asked you to help put together a flirty and fresh outfit for her big day - nothing sexy, the dinner was hosted at her grandpa's house.

I started you off with these House of Harlow Stacked Bangles ($55) because PartySugar adores the mixed-metal combo. Let's see your creations!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, incorporates cool colors. I like how she paired a cobalt dress with a perforated green clutch.

See the rest.
