FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Eva Mendes took a break from her boat trip with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to enjoy the sights in Italy. The actress is a sight of sun-kissed perfection wearing a white eyelet dress by Dolce and Gabbana and beige Christian Louboutin espadrille wedges. For glam factor, the steamy model adorned herself with stacked bangles, white-rimmed sunnies, and chic canvas and leather bag - love it.

Celebrity Style: Ashanti

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Singer Ashanti attended an event at Rockefeller Center in NYC looking fresh faced and feminine. To beat the heat, she wore a white halter eyelet dress. I like how the low-cut V front is made more demure by the longer hemline. Ashanti is known to love her some bling, so she brought in shine via her rhinestone sandals, gold hoop earrings, and circle pendant necklace. And check out those super cool purple nails!

Trend Alert: Black Eyelet

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Eyelets have taken on a new color - black. The traditional eyelet has been associated with Raggedy Anne dowdiness and hot Summer days but has since gone way of the dark side; evoking a sexier, mature look. See Victoria Beckham wearing a flirty, black eyelet Milly dress. Sidenote: Milly, really? Cool Posh.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:30:33 -0700

"Gossip Girl" debuted last week and though I was skeptical at first, it has done a fabulous job of nurturing my "The O.C." withdrawals.

In the second episode last night, Serena van der Woodsen's current frenemy Blair Waldorf had an exceptional wardrobe, one of them being a delicate white eyelet dress she wore to to a fundraiser brunch at a posh hotel. Like a true rich girl, she donned pearl bracelets, a girlie headband and just to spice things up, a pair of sexy patterned tights. Sticking with the innocent-but-sexy motif, she wore black patent Mary Janes on her feet.

Do you love her ensemble as much as I do? Get the look below...and don't forget to watch the show next week then check back here for more fabulous outfits!

C&C California Larissa Dress, $198	Wolford Mystic Lace Tights, $106
Steven Playful Black Patent Pump, on sale for $103 (originally $114)	Cara Couture Satin Pearl/Button/Bow Headband, $65

Online Sale Alert! Save Big at La Garconne!

FabSugar — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 12:00:22 -0700

Pretty swing coats, little silk tops, and silk ballerina flats populate the sale section over LaGarconne.com. Just how I like it: luxurious, well-cut...and more affordable.

These Maloles Georgette Eyelet Wedges, $253 (originally $362), go with everything: jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts...and they definitely will up the caliber of your outfit. I love wedges because they give you height like heels, but are so much more comfortable to walk and stand in!

I love being casual cool in the summer, and it looks like fifthofapril does too! Her eye for eyelet look is really cute - I especially love her combination of a floaty white top with the edgier hardware-laden bag! Oh yeah, and on a separate note, she's new, so give her a big hello!

The Look for Less: Vince White Eyelet Empire Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 10:45:55 -0800

Can I please ask why someone would spend so much on such an easily ruinable summer staple like the LWD? In case you haven't heard, white is one of this Spring's essential colors. Now I love white as much as the next fake tanning girl, but it is one of the riskiest colors to wear. I don't think I have ever splurged on something white; I just don't think it's a smart investment. I also have butter fingers and tend to spill, run into and trip about so at the end of the day there is always a stain on me, especially if I'm wearing white (why does that always happen btw?). So there's my rant. While I think this Vince White Eyelet Empire Dress, $320, is way cute, I would never spend this much money on it. Now if it came in black...

There you have it. This Alloy White Eyelet Dress, $39.50, may not have quite the styling details but one can always cinch it and accessorize it to give it some panache. And if you spill a rum and coke on this one this summer, no biggie right?

Victoria's Secret Eyelet Babydoll Blouse: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 09:22:43 -0800

Since I became a redhead last summer I have taken to wearing the color green more often. Here is a Victoria's Secret Eyelet Emerald Babydoll Blouse, $88, that was found by Fashionsugar in the Love It or Hate It? group. This top has so many cute elements: the emerald green color, the eyelet detailing and a babydoll cut. But something is amiss here. What do you all think, love it or hate it?
