Take a Cue From Kate Moss - How to Make Stripes Fresh for Summer

FabTV — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 08:00:00 PDT

From Kate Moss to Michelle Williams to Claudia Schiffer and the girls of The City, there's no denying nautical stripes are a huge trend right now. We've been seeing the Breton striped top everywhere, but in this episode of Fab's How To, Allison shows us how to wear this popular style in new ways.

Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz

Not many gals can pull off this look - you have to be slim and have dangerous limbs that won't quit. But if you fall into this category (lucky!) one of my mottos is: if you've got it flaunt it! We've been seeing Cam workout like a madwoman lately, and she proves that persistence really pays off. Here she is in the streets of NYC and what a sight to see. I've always dug the mini with boots look, though I think she could have jazzed up this look with some gold jewelry. But we all know Cam is a surfer girl at heart and all she needs is a sun kissed look and she's ready to go.

To get Cam's hot look,

I Love Your ShopStyle: Erdem Florals

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:00:25 PST

ShopStylist nia b created an Erdem-centric look that's both Fashion Week savvy and totally wearable after the fact. The bright floral silk top can be tucked into a black nipped-waist and pleated miniskirt. To keep the attention of the vibrant graphic print, accessorize with classic gold and black accents. A gilded cuff, sweet circle earrings, a compact clutch, and peep-toe pumps will round out this stylish outfit perfectly. Now, it's time to hail a cab and head to Lincoln Center for a day's worth of Fall '12 runway shows.

Trend Alert: Flouncy Miniskirts

Noria Morales — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:04:19 PDT

Yes, we thought those days were over too. We thought it was all about long skirts, maybe to the floor, and definitely below the knee. Then came Paris Fashion Week, and some incredible Parisian street style, where we saw women showing leg in flouncy, fun-loving minis. So, just in case you cleaned out your closet of the miniskirt to prepare for the maxi, here are a few ultra chic options to show some leg this Spring.

Karolina Kurkova Slips Into Alexander Wang Pre-Fall - Love It or Leave It?

Hannah Weil — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:31:06 PST

If you caught a glimpse of Karolina Kurkova at last night's Jay-Z concert at Carnegie Hall, you might have been wondering: what exactly was she wearing? It looked like the supermodel slipped a leather skirt over her sweater dress, but upon closer inspection, we discovered that the look is actually all one piece. In fact, the dress is a piece from Alexander Wang's latest Pre-Fall 2012 collection. It's a bold style for sure - one that we're still convinced looks a little like a miniskirt pulled over a sheer and knit sweater dress - but we're letting you make the call. What do you think of Karolina's look?

Look of the Day: Floral Burst

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:00:22 PST

Following suit on this season's ultra-vibrant floral trend, Fab reader TheFancyTeacup rocked her own version of flower power to perfection. She paired a bold floral-printed sweater with a solid mandarin orange-hue circle miniskirt. The form-fitting topper against a fit-and-flare bottom has a sweet silhouette effect. For accessories, she kept it low-key with neutral-toned capped-toe pumps and a purple suede clutch. We think this bright look deserves to be created come time for Fashion Week, don't you?

Congrats TheFancyTeacup!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

LuRu Home Brings Shanghai Style to NYIGF

Angela Swinderman Elias — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:52:24 PST

If you're a fan of Indian block printing, you'll flip for Chinese Nankeen cloth. After moving to Shanghai, Liza and Claire picked up more than just Chinese. The two fell in love with the vibrant indigo hues and imperfect patterns of Nankeen cloth and decided to translate the look to products for the modern home, with LuRu Home.

The ritual of making this traditional cloth dates back thousands of years to ancient China. It involves applying soybean-rice paste to cotton and linen with hand-cut stencils. After the paste dries, the cloth is dipped over and over again into baths of indigo ink. While the fabric dries, oxidation creates brilliant hues of blue. The soybean-rice paste is finally scraped off to reveal a marvelous piece of hand-dyed fabric.

New to NYIGF, I have a feeling LuRu Home is going to be a hit! With pillows, tabletop linens, and aprons, I'm anxious to incorporate this look into my own decor. Keep reading to see more goods from LuRu Home and a peek at additional shots from their imaginatively styled lookbook!

Celeb Style: Jamie Chung's Leather Mini and Hot Leopard Heels

Hannah Weil — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:00:19 PST

How does one manage to be both totally on trend and perfectly understated all at once? We're looking to Jamie Chung's effortlessly styled event look, one that manages to be chic and not at all over the top even while mixing leopard print and leather. The key to balancing the sexy statement pieces is in her cozy topper; a chunky brown French Connection cardigan and simple white tee provide a comfy contrast to a high-impact miniskirt, also from French Connection, and heels. Naturally, a little Proenza Schouler arm candy only furthers the cool effect. Feeling inspired? Just shop our editors' picks to channel Jamie's style.
