(Un)Guilty Pleasure of the Day: A Gorgeous Printed Maxi

Hannah Weil — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:04:43 PDT

Since Summer is practically synonymous with effortless glamour, we want nothing over done. Our dresses should be easy to slip into, to layer over our swimwear, and to take us to the beach. The answer to what we're looking for looks like this - a beautifully printed maxi dress ($70, originally $78) that would look as perfect on the shore as it would at an outdoor wedding.

Look of the Day: Borrowed From Mom

FabSugar — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:14:22 PDT

What's a better surprise than trolling through Mom's closet and finding out that her old favorite maxi now makes the perfect Summer dress for you. That's exactly where Fab reader Icedivastar stumbled on her Summer fashion gold in the form of this pretty printed vintage find. It may be Mom's from the '90s, but it makes the perfect nod to this season's '70s trend, especially when styled with a floppy hat and cool, braided belt.

Congrats to Icedivastar!

Look of the Day: Max Appeal

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 03:04:20 PDT

It's the carefree chic Summer look that's gorgeous on every body type, whether you're tall and lithe, curvy, or expecting a baby. Fab reader Megan Zietz expertly pairs a printed maxi, long cardigan, and statement necklace for an eclectic chic look that works on all levels. We particularly love how she belted the maxi to add polish and shape.

Congrats to Megan Zietz!

Look of the Day: The Long and Short of It

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:32:04 PST

We recently showed you how to max out your style, and this look from Fab reader summerskin was a cool mix of short and long, high and low. I love how she paired an ultralong maxidress with a cream-color H&M blazer, tan infinity scarf, and black crisscross wedges. This look is a little bit of Winter and Spring rolled into one - and it's a perfect look for shopping or a dinner date.

Congrats to summerskin!

Style How-To: Making Cropped Sweaters Less Childish, More Chic

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 08:53:56 PST

BellaSugar editor Annie Tomlin came to us with a style challenge concerning a cropped sweater she has, which resembles the one in the photo. The challenge: "I cannot figure out to wear it without looking 3-years-old." The solution: the cropped sweater is cozy and feminine, so we're giving her a boho luxe look. We paired a fitted knit maxidress ($198) with these suede wedge booties ($347), offbeat jewelry, and a printed scarf for a look that easily transitions from day to night. Fab tip: if you want to keep the look polished, it's important to stay with a fitted maxidress rather than something flowy.

Online Sale Alert: Summer Dress Steals at Anthro

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:50:15 PDT

Fall's on its way in, which means Summer's on its way out. I'm sad to see it go, but there's a consolation prize: End of Summer sales! The best part is snagging Summer steals like this Port Dauphine Dress ($70, originally $138) at Anthropologie's sale. Even if Summer is fading, this will look just as chic with a denim jacket in September. If maxis aren't your thing, shop the shorter variety and transition to Fall with tights - either way, you've got a sweet deal.

The Look For Less: Velvet Slinky Tube Maxi

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:00:22 PDT

If you haven't already made a maxi a wardrobe staple, I'm highly recommending you do. They're the epitome of easy dressing but also amazingly complimentary. I've got one in black that's become a closet favorite, and I set out to find a lighter color in a casual strapless style. When I came across this ultra soft - and ultra sexy - Velvet Slinky Tube Maxi ($129) I couldn't wait to slip it on, until the pricey tag killed my shopping buzz.

Celebrity Style: Whitney Port

FabSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:00:22 PST

Whitney stole the spotlight at a charity gala in New York last night. Her white-draped gown is a fresh take on holiday dressing; and the black sash is added drama. Her oversized green snakeskin clutch provided a vintage touch, while on the other hand a red watch kept her in check - do you think she was purposely mixing the traditional Christmas colors of red and green? Here she is with new friend Olivia from The City, also looking quite Fab.

Little Black Dresses (the Slightly Larger, Maternity Options)

babysugar — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:00:17 PDT

Any woman will tell you the LBD is a critical wardrobe piece for work and play. You don't have to let go of your favorite always fashionable crutch just because your belly is growing and you're not-so-lil any more - plenty of designers have pretty and chic maternity LBDs.

One of my favorites right now is the abs one shoulder dress (on sale for $150) because it has the same feel of the flowing Maxi dresses Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie wore while pregnant with their now infants.

Of course, there are always options with sleeves, shorter hemlines and intricate designs that add a lil flare to the staple.

Guess the Mom Behind the Maxi Dress

Pregnant ladies are in luck because the maxi dress is in style this season. Keeping the figure a secret, new moms and expectant ladies have been spotted sporting the garbs alike. See if you can guess which hot mamas are behind the flowy frocks.
