Look of the Day: California Dreamin'

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 08:00:10 PST

Living in California can make for some pretty baffling weather patterns –– one week you're at the beach, and the next you're in a rainstorm. Fab reader –– and fellow California girl –– crystaljill used this seasonal confusion to her advantage by finding a cute way to mix and match her Summer and Fall pieces. She belted a pair of slouchy denim shorts, layered up with a flowered blouse and cardigan, then added cream-colored over-the-knee socks and lace-up heels. She's staying chic while enjoying the sunshine.

Congrats to crystaljill!

The Look For Less: AG Adriano Goldschmied Boyfriend Denim Shorts

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:50:08 PDT

Denim boyfriend shorts are still the rage; I just picked up another pair. Mine are dark, but these AG Adriano Goldschmied Ex Boyfriend Shorts ($165) are good if you seek a lighter version. They have just the right amount of bagginess without looking masculine. Since this trend is so hot, there are many cheaper options. Let's go see one.

To see the look for less,

These Charlotte Russe Cuffed Sexy Boyfriend Shorts ($26) are cool and not cheap-looking in the slightest. They are light like the pair above, but have more shredding for a rugged vibe. At that price, you can get a darker pair, too!

Look of the Day: Walk in the Woods

Graceyloo took time out from her walk in the woods to snap a quick photo of her outfit. Since the weather was still nippy, she smartly borrowed her boyfriend's flannel shirt for extra warmth. A vest, denim shorties, black tights, and gray boots complete her cool hiking ensemb. Cute!

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to graceyloo!

I Love Your Shopstyle: Laid Back

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:50:22 PDT

Sometimes, the perfect Summer day for me means chillin' around town doing absolutely nothing, nada, zilch. You feel me? bubleguma's ensemble would be ideal for such a laid back day. I can see myself strolling around town wearing her fresh picks. Notice how she upped the style meter by accessorizing her baggy shorts and sweater with a load of funky jewels.

Trend Alert: Studded Shorts

FabSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:50:22 PDT

We all own a pair of denim cutoffs, but what about studded shorts? Like studly vests, they add a unique rocker-girl vibe to your overall look and are a quick and simple DIY. Personally, I refuse to pay top dollar for such a fleeting yet cute trend. That's why I headed to my local fabric shop for a pack of studs and a glue gun. $6 and 20 minutes later, presto chango - studded shorts!

Celebrity Style: Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale always makes bold statements with her style, even when she's grabbing coffee. Her latest LA look is comfortable but doesn't sacrifice panache. If it wasn't for her Lark & Wolff yellow and white striped sweater, the look - Frye boots, denim cutoffs, Ray-Ban aviators - would have been far too hardcore. Instead, the bright yellow injects a happy-go-lucky note. Perfecto.

The Look For Less: Helmut Lang Long Denim Boyfriend Shorts

FabSugar — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:00:22 PDT

You probably already have denim shorts, but do you have boyfriend shorts? They don't necessarily need to be your boyfriend's shorts, but they have to be a bit baggy, long, and cuffed. These Helmut Lang Long Denim Boyfriend Shorts ($210) are the perfect color and fit, but they're way too pricey for a trend that may fade before the denim itself.

To see the look for less,

We can always count on Express to bring us the latest trends at affordable prices. These Express Denim Boyfriend Shorts ($50) are totally current and won't kill your credit card. They're not as baggy as the Helmut Lang version, so I would consider getting them a size bigger for a loose, relaxed fit. And when you're ready to rock your daisy dukes again, you won't feel so bad considering the manageable price tag.
