Celeb Style: Kristin Cavallari

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:18:14 -0700

Leave it to The Hills hottie Kristin Cavallari to make a regular plaid shirt look smokin'! The reality starlet shopped on Melrose wearing an Elizabeth and James plaid shirt, black skinny jeans, and Louboutin pumps. Ray Ban Wayfarers shielded her from the paps, while her Alexander Wang bag stashed all her cash. Her look is a testament to the fact that simplicity can have a major impact.

Elizabeth and James Laurent oversized checked shirt - $245.00	Always skinny black jeans - $59.50
Christian Louboutin Shimmer Pump - $699.00	Ray-ban "wayfarer" sunglasses - $109.00
Nordstrom Extra Long Flat Chain Necklace - $78.00	Triple-Row Metal-Beaded Bracelet - $12.00
Tory Burch Studded Satchel - $595.00

Look of the Day: Serene Scene

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I adore balamoda's high-contrast photo shoot. Check out the juxtaposition between her checkered tunic and serene scene - don't you love the woodsy backdrop? She took a risk pairing her printed top with gold leggings and matching oxfords, but it paid off. A stylist in the making? I think so . . .

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to balamoda!

Now that we've differentiated between Winter and Summer plaid, let's dig in. This Vintage Plaid Full-Skirted Dress, size xs/s, has fun written all over it. I love the color palette, as well as the girlie skirt. Now imagine how much cuter it would be paired with a cool tan belt and gold baubles. In a few months, throw on black leggings for Fall/Winter wearability.

The current bidding price is $9.99, and the auction ends on Thursday, August 20. Good luck and happy bidding!

Trend Alert: Summer Plaid

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

I have a friend who is a self-proclaimed plaid addict. She does look darn cute in it. And so does Rihanna, in her oversized Vince shirt. Sure plaid works at the cozy cabin in Winter, but it equally works on the cruiser in Summer. The seasonless print will forever have that sexy lumberjack appeal, so bare some skin and throw on some glam accessories to optimize your Summer plaid.

Rojas Mini Shorts: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 08:50:22 -0700

I occasionally dabble with plaid, especially in the Summer, but there's something about these Rojas Mini Shorts ($63) that rub me the wrong way. Let's investigate. Unlike Olivia Palermo's cute track-style shorts, these make me think of Richard Simmons busting a move on the gym floor. What do you think?

Celebrity Style: Liv Tyler

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:00:22 -0800

We've seen all the pieces in Liv Tyler's outfit before - plaid tunic, navy cardigan, boots - but somehow she makes them look utterly fresh while leaving a restaurant in LA. First, I like the colors she's working with; the red, white, navy, and black mesh well together. They provide a moody palette that's anything but boring. I also appreciate how her cardigan is as long as her tunic. Tortoiseshell Ray-Bans and a canvas tote up the cool factor.

Thandie Slub Cardigan - $12.50	Pintucked Plaid Woven Tunic - $24.80
Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses - $140.00	Gabriella Rocha - Winter Hit (Brown Suede) - $75.00
Medium "In Bloomie's We Trust" Recycled Cotton Canvas Tote Bag - $28.00	Levante Ultimate 80 tights - $14.00
Cotton Camisole - $19.00	Sterling Silver Tri-Color Ring Trio - 7 - $22.99

I Want This Wardrobe: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:00:08 -0800

Rebecca Bloomwood's plaid ensemble might be one of her tamer choices of the bunch, but it's still oozing with quirky fun. Her Byron Lars plaid dress makes a loud statement on its own, but the stylista took it up a notch by accessorizing with a wide cinched belt, thigh-high socks, and platform pumps by Steve Madden Luxe. Personally, I would nix the socks and just wear the dress with flat boots. Who would have ever thought that plaid could look so polished?

Gingham Buttoned Dress - $22.80	Deena & Ozzy Zipper Corset Belt - $34.00
Polyester Solid Thigh-High Sock - $15.00	Miss Me Women's Vernice-29 Ankle Strap Pump - $49.95
MARC JACOBS 'Too Pocket Large' Bag - $750.00	FF Hoop Earrings - $1.50

Look of the Day: Anglomania

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 03:00:08 -0800

Truefashionista sure knows how to work the camera. Her enthusiasm for Anglomania is quite infectious. I love how she paired her plaid dress with punky black boots. Her experimental look gets high marks in my book!

Here's what she has on:

Shirt: DIY
Dress: Vintage
Boots: Miss Sixty

Congrats to truefashionista!

I Want This Wardrobe: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:00:08 -0800

It takes a seasoned stylista like Rebecca Bloomwood to pull off this perfectly mismatched ensemble. Underneath her orange plaid Jerold cape lies a complicated yet cunning outfit. On top, Rebecca layered on a purple Danny button-down body suit with a luxurious Vince cashmere sweater. Her bottom half consists of a cobalt blue Balenciaga skirt cinched in with a wide purple belt. For accessories, Rebecca adorned herself with her favorite green scarf - which brings her change, love, loss - red earrings, orange leather gloves, cool mesh slingbacks by Christian Louboutin, and a yellow Marc Jacobs quilted bag. Funky and fabulous, no?
