FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Mkoesnadi is jungle chic in pretty paisley prints. She's mastered the casual vibe of a blazer thrown over a femme little dress. And she's got mad styling skills - she cinches the whole thing with a belt and doesn't skimp on stellar accessories, from her gladiators to her luxe tote.

Here's what she has on:

Blazer: Wishdrobe
Dress: BCBG MaxAzria
Necklace: Forever 21
Bangles: Armani Exchange
Bag: Prada
Shoes: Far East Plaza (Singapore)

Congrats Mkoesnadi!

Trend Alert: Pretty Paisley

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Paisley print can be dorky, but both famous Kates - Hudson and Bosworth - show us that it doesn't have to be. Not only does Kate not look dorky here, she oozes sophisticated cool in her black and white tonal pretty paisley sheath. The best quality about paisley is that it comes in all sizes and colors, so it's not an alienating trend like, say, sheer. Dorky? Pssh. Pretty.

Celebrity Style: Lake Bell

Actress Lake Bell attended a party hosted by Eva Longoria looking understated but still radiant. She belted her paisley Shoshanna dress to show off her waist and gave the look a splash of color with a red clutch. I'm going to continue watching Lake . . . she has all the attributes for a style star!

Celebrity Style: Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson arrived in Miami in a Phillip Lim paisley shift dress and glittery peep-toe pumps. The look is appropriate for the sunny state, but stays true to her boho style. I admire that about Kate; no matter where she goes, she takes her unique fashion sense with her.

Look of the Day: Golden Girl

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:20:22 -0700

As Coco Chanel used to say, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." That's always been one of my favorite Chanel quotes, and I dug it out because I think ascotfriday really exemplifies a unique style. She is a golden girl with her seventies-inspired beachy look. And the metallic gold Converse are a Fab final touch!

Here's what she has on:

Top: Vintage
Shorts: 7 For All Mankind
Shoes: Converse

Congrats to ascotfriday!

The Bag To Have: Inge Large Paisley Pandora Hobo

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:30:33 -0700

This picture does not do this bag justice - this Inge Large Paisley Pandora Hobo, on sale for $378 (originally $420), is gorgeous in living color. I know this because a friend of mine just got it and I thought she'd scored it on some adventure to an exotic land - like Portugal or Turkey.

Between the rainbow paisleys, the twisted handle and the tasseled zipper pull, this bag is an exotic beauty. And the milky soft leather ensures longevity. While I hardly ever pay attention to patterned bags, this pattern is a stand out: boho chic at its finest.

Paisley

n. Tear drop design on fabric or other material. The name comes from a town located in the west central lowlands of Scotland. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Paisley became famous for the production of cloth, especially cotton with the distinctive Paisley Pattern. Get this Paisley dress from Arden B. for $148 here.

Milly Paisley Print Tunic: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 28 May 2007 08:10:22 -0700

Talk about fusing every color under the rainbow! Fashionsugar posted this Milly Paisley Print Tunic, $345, in the Love It or Hate It? group. I think if it had a few less colors, I'd actually wear it because I like the silhouette of the tunic. The pink/yellow/purple combo is making me envision someone jumping into a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal and coming out looking like this. A tad too 70's for my taste. You?

A Fabby Halloween: Gypsy

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Gypsy, wanderer, nomad, bohemian - call her what you will, but she is the ultimate free spirit. If you want a liberating costume this Halloween, look no further than the exotic gypsy. Much like the cirque du freak, the gypsy requires piling it all on. The main fashion components are coin jewelry, bangles, anklets, floor-sweeping skirts, paisley prints, head scarves, velvet, and layers - see Star from The Lost Boys for a vampy version. A wavy ebony wig can also help with authenticity. Roam away . . .

Just can't get enough? Join my A Fabby Halloween group, where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.
