Look of the Day: Summer Blues

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Xoqiqixo is experiencing the Summer blues in a stylish manner. She scored an oceanic maxi dress for only $10 - amazing. I'm also digging how her ivory crocheted shrug gives off a Mexicana feel. Muy bonita, senorita!

Here's what she has on:

Maxi dress: Forever 21
Top: MM Couture by Miss Me
Bangles: Unknown

Congrats to xoqiqixo!

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

Diane Kruger supported fellow German designer Anja Gockel by attending her show at Berlin Fashion Week. The Fab favorite lived up to her stylish reputation in a Summery ensemble that's girlie and utilitarian at the same time. The green cargo shorts balance out the feminine ivory crochet blouse, while her tan sandals add au natural sex appeal. Simple to re-create and well worth the effort!

Trend Alert: Crochet Cool

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:00:22 -0700

You probably think crochet is best left for the elderly but think again. Mischa certainly doesn't think so. I always knew this girl was a flower child at heart and here she is looking crochet cool while frolicking in the warm sands of Malibu. You don't have to be beach-side to sport this trend. These vintage-inspired confections easily translate into a whimsical top or dress; just remember to play it cool.

If you're not an itsy-bitsy-bikini type of gal, turn on the pool boys with this Vintage Black Crochet Bathing Suit, size small. It's still super-steamy and will keep a worrisome tummy area in check. Like I said, one piece, all fabulous!

The current bidding price is at $9.99, and the auction ends on Wednesday, July 23. Good luck and happy bidding!

Celebrity Style: Eva Longoria

There are a couple interesting things going on with Eva while she was on her way to the Ken Paves Salon. First, she was wearing crochet head-to-toe - an indication that Summer has arrived for the actress. Second, she was shopping at Target! We all love Target so I wonder what she bought. Cruising along in her Juicy Couture dress and Yves Saint Laurent Tribute sandals, the striped belt really helped break up the matchy crochet dress and bag. Well done, Eva.

Trend Alert: Summer Crochet

Nothing says margarita wishes and sunset dreams like Summer crochet. Raise your hand if you have at least one piece of crochet clothing in your closet? A bit bohemian, a bit rustic, this delicate yet durable pattern seems to always rear its pretty head once the days get longer and warmer. I always welcome it with open arms with hopes of letting the sunshine in.

Ashley's Leather Mini & Crochet Tights: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 16:44:44 -0700

When it rains Ashley and Mary-Kate, it pours Ashley and Mary-Kate. I say, bring on the downpour!

Here, at the launch party for LORAC cosmetics' new palate with clothing line Miss Davenport, Showstopper, Ashley is bringing back the leather mini skirt and crochet tights. Her homage to the '80s looks good, but then again, she's very tiny so she can get away with it. This look can go either way; it will either be embraced with open arms or shunned by the masses.

Designer Spotlight: Emu

Did you know the emu is Australia's national bird? I bet PetSugar does. Emu Australia is an Australian-based sheepskin footwear brand inspired by the bird's exceptional resourcefulness - it lives on little food and water in the desert. Founded in '94, the company provides stylish sheepskin boots, slippers, flip-flops, and sandals. But it doesn't stop there. It also has a line of apparel made of merino wool and sheepskin. Jackets, ponchos, beanies, gloves, and scarves are soft and everyday-wearable. I'm jonesing for this desert-chic look, crochet sweater, fuzzy boots, et al.
