LilSugar — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 03:16:03 PDT

The season of flora and fauna is officially here, and the best way to dress for it? Floral prints. We've found the prettiest garden-inspired patterns in maternity dresses and tops. Just because you've got a baby on board, there's no reason not to embrace the trend!

See How Alexa Chung Styles Up Spring Florals!

Allison McNamara — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:42:29 PDT

Alexa Chung is known for her quirky, cool ensembles, and yesterday she styled an outfit that we'll definitely be emulating. For the launch of the British Designers Collective in England, she selected a floral-print, A-line skirt from Celine's resort 2012 collection. In true Alexa fashion, she put a playful spin on her look with a "je t'aime Jane" top, that actually plays homage to another iconic style-setter, Jane Birkin. See how this It-Brit expertly toughened up her florals in today's Fab Flash! On Allison McNamara: H&M top, Banana Republic necklace.

Look of the Day: Coming Up Roses

Dressing down a fancy top is no easy feat, but Fab reader xoqiqixo makes it look effortless. She took the floral trend to a chic new level with a rosette-covered blouse from American Apparel ($84) and paired it with skinny cargo pants and a cute pair of black ankle boots. Everything is coming up roses –– her look is pretty, polished, and perfect for daytime!

Congrats to xoqiqixo!

Look of the Day: Mix Master

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 08:00:04 PDT

It's so cool to see how you guys are getting in on the mixing prints trend this Fall! I am loving Fab reader Miss Ife's fresh pairing of leopard and florals. She showed that she's a certified mix master by throwing on a cute black cardigan and lightweight floral scarf, then cuffing her jeans to reveal a pair of totally Fab leopard-print ankle boots. This is one cool combo that I'll be trying soon!

Congrats to Miss Ife!

Look of the Day: Sassy Floral Mini

FabSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 12:50:22 PDT

Vanessa 09's adorable sassy floral mini kind of reminds me of Kate Moss' floral mini dress for Topshop. I admire the puff sleeves and the headband worn as a belt. Very innovative and money-saving!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Zara
Headband as Belt: SmartSet
Bag: Wal-Mart
Shoes: Aldo

Congrats to Vanessa 09!

Spring Peek: Bloomers

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 16:29:38 PST

Today a Sugar girl received a beautiful bouquet of orange roses with red berries and Stargazer lilies. They inspired me to deliver you this Spring Peek showing you all the big bloomers that graced the runways. Rosettes, big flower prints and fabric corsages popped on garments adding volume and sweetness. Bloomers even showed up as show garnish: Yves Saint Laurent had thousands of violets sewn onto the floor of his runway - tripping up the models, literally. This Spring, say it with flowers. I think Alexander McQueen, shown here, screamed it with flowers!

Marisa Tom — Fri, 18 May 2012 10:45:42 PDT

Forget traditional Hawaiian-printed muumuus and silly parrot-themed button-up blouses: these tropical print wares are not only covetable - they'll also instantly inject your closet with a Summer-ready feel.

You can incorporate the palm-tree-infused, hibiscus-filled look into every occasion. Featured on both a laid-back tie-front cropped top showcasing a Caribbean-cool scene and a flirty floral minidress, these fun prints with "vacation-bound" written all over them. Here are 10 reasons you'll want to get in on the season's obsession - click through to see them all.

First Look! Zara Masters the Art of Boy-Meets-Girl Dressing For May

Hannah Weil — Fri, 11 May 2012 10:20:47 PDT

With both cool-girl appeal and the prettiest white lace and crochet, Zara's May collection might best be characterized as an exercise in perfect boy-meets-girl dressing. The retailer artfully delivers the best of both worlds: the most feminine and sophisticated kind of separates, like a little lace waistcoat or a ladies-who-lunch tweed jacket, then a slouchy pair of tomboy-fit studded jeans and a menswear-style striped button-down. Zara's Woman collection offers up polished floral prints and silky tropical button-downs, while the TRF line veers into more casual territory with open-weave knits, distressed boyfriend jeans, and tribal-embellished tanks and t-shirts. Read on for our favorite pieces and styling tips, then click through to get a glimpse of every look.

If you're looking to get in on the jumpsuit trend, we love the effortless vibe of this version - perfect for dressing up and down all Summer.
This open-weave knit would be an ideal piece to layer up on a beachy vacation or throw on with your favorite Summer cutoffs.
Try out a statement skirt like this one and balance out the high-impact details with a menswear-inspired button-up.
