Look of the Day: In Love With Floral

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

There's no denying - I'm in love with floral, and totally smitten with TembemNORA's take on it. The bold aqua hue of her cropped top plays a cheeky opposite to the deep florals in her skirt. Topped with a feather headband and smart t-strap flats, she's downright demure and completely chromatic.

Here's what she has on:

Top: Blanco
Skirt: Tailor Made
Feather Headpiece: IT.C Mangdu
Shoes: Zara

Congrats to TembemNORA!

Celebrity Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

My favorite Hills girl Whitney Port traded her red brocade Nicole Miller dress for something a little more vibrant and trendy while having lunch with a gal pal. We've been seeing florals quite a bit lately, but Whitney shows us the trend has yet to be exhausted. To mellow out the loudness of the dress, she accessorized with a gray scarf and a black satchel. Throw in some metallic flats, a cool pair of rounded shades, and you have one fashionable reality starlet.

Painted Floral Chiffon Dress - $24.80	Constance Fringed Scarf - $8.80
Tom Ford "Samantha" Sunglasses - $414.00	Hype black pebble leather 'Costa del Sol' satchel - $177.00
N.Y.L.A. Women's Loved Flat - $61.95	St. Kilda Silver Clara Ring - $92.00

Topshop Balenciaga-Inspired Floral Zip Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Most of you don't like Balenciaga's Spring collection (tear) but what if I told you you could buy a similar look for way less? Would the considerably lower price change your mind? If so, Topshop just came out with this Balenciaga-inspired Floral Zip Jacket ($130) that I think is darling. It's bound to make any pair of jeans fancy and more interesting. I especially love the puff sleeves and asymmetrical zipper. What do you think?

Who Wore It Better? Stella McCartney Floral Jumpsuit

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:30:22 -0700

I go ga-ga over Stella McCartney's Spring floral concoctions, and apparently so do Rihanna and Angie Harmon. The singer first wore Stella's floral jumpsuit back in April and accessorized with YSL heart sandals and oversized hoop earrings. Angie opted for a more polished evening look when she wore the same jumpsuit to the screening of The Party. Instead of earrings, the actress drew attention to her neck with a chunky heart necklace. Which of these ladies blooms more beautifully in Stella McCartney's floral jumpsuit?

Trend Alert: Fresh Flowers

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:08 -0700

Can you smell them? The sweet, Spring-is-here smell of fresh flowers? Florals abound this season and they've also been quite literally translated onto vintage-inspired jewelry. I suggest you hit up your local vintage stores to score a one-of-a-kind fresh flower, but here are some pretties worth inspiring.

Online Sale Alert! Sale at Chick Downtown

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

If you're in the market for a dress that will make you stand out, Chick Downtown's sale section is the place to turn to. Whitley Kros, Theory, and Karen Zambos are just some of the featured brands.

Personally, I'm doting for this 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Ruffle Mini Floral Dress ($206, originally $412) because it's feminine, but not in an obnoxious way; the black background and sheer sleeves lend a special touch.

Who Wore It Better? Ralph Lauren Floral Ruffle Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

When I saw photos of Diane Kruger wearing Ralph Lauren's floral ruffle dress at the Sideaction AIDS benefit in Paris, I instantly approved. Her nude clutch and minimal use of jewelry really work to showcase the feminine print. More recently, Ralph Lauren model, Lonneke Engel, wore the same dress to an event in NYC. The brunette chose to accessorize with a gold metallic clutch and stayed away from any jewelry. Both gals do the dress justice, but who wore it better?

Sneak Peek! Celia Birtwell for Express

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:00:22 -0700

There are so many high-low designer collaborations these days, I can hardly keep track of them all. But girl am I glad I didn't let the Celia Birtwell for Express one slip through the cracks. Her '60s-inspired prints are just what I need right now. The sweet floral patterns adorning tie-front blouses and airy dresses are a nod to the past but they feel current. I'm definitely making a stop at my local Express this weekend, and I recommend you do the same!
