Trend Alert: Romantic Ivory Blouses

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 08:00:05 PDT

Femininity emerged on the runways for Spring '11, but it's already here for Fall in the form of fabulously romantic ivory blouses. Soft ruffles, creamy palettes, and high collars make this blouse a standout with basics or even with prints. If you doubt the versatility, just refer to these Fab favorites - we love the way Taylor Swift, Isabel Lucas, and Roxy Olin recently sported the style, each with a little of her own twist. A touch of feminine whimsy to any outfit, a pretty contrast to structured blazers or tailored separates - just a way to wear a little Fab romance.

Cheap & Chic: Romantic Blouses

Amidst all the drama, Sienna Miller is still one fashionable babe. If you're going to get your photo taken by the paparazzi, you might as well look cute, right?

I'm loving the semisheer romantic blouse she's jetsetting in. It's a great alternative to wearing a basic tee with your jeans and doesn't appear stuffy. When choosing a romantic blouse, look for one with a casual fit and fun detailing such as stripes, ruffles, or frills. Kudos to Sienna for accessorizing her feminine look with a funky Gucci belt.

Trend Alert: Romantic Blouses

Live your own Summer of Love in romantic blouses. Influenced by the free love era of the '60s, these light and flowy tops are the perfect way to jump start a sunny day. These bohemian-inspired staples are extremely versatile and available in all shapes and sizes - see Roberto Cavalli's long tunic at left. I'd pair mine with a pair of wide-legged jeans, fire up some incense, turn some vinyl and groove to the Beatles. "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away..."

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 03:00:46 PDT

Fab reader Postgradchic took a crisp approach to daytime styling and we're loving what we see. First, she paired her slick white blazer with a more romantic mint-hued ruffled blouse. Then, she donned belted black skinny jeans and nude ballet flats for a pared down finish. On the accessories front, she kept it simple with a dark brown shoulder bag and one long, dainty gold necklace.

Congrats Postgradchic!

From bow-infused clutches to silky tie-front blouses, it's easy to incorporate this ladylike offshoot into your day-to-day wardrobe. Whether you find inspiration straight from the catwalk or look to celebs like Emily Blunt, seen in cool Gianvito Rossi bow-tie pumps, and Sarah Jessica Parker, who recently wore a Spring '02 Louis Vuitton frock cinched with a bow sash, there's certainly a happy styling medium for the bow-inclined.

Fashion to Interiors: Caramel Leather, Animal Prints, and Metallic Accessories

CasaSugar — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:00:20 PST

I'm constantly finding similarities between the pieces I'm coveting for my closet and the items I'm looking to incorporate in my home. I've pulled together an outfit and a home decor look that combines texture, bold prints, metallic hues, and yummy leather. See how I translate fashion to interiors with these two looks!

Even with a secretary blouse and heels, this Romantic Leather Skirt ($1,400) feels effortlessly cool. One of my favorite ways to achieve this look at home is by adding a piece of '70s-style furniture in buttery, caramel-colored leather. This Leather Butterfly Chair ($200) achieves the same earthy but slightly polished look at a great price point.

A metallic hybrid of sorts, this Sloan Lizard-Effect Metallic Leather Clutch ($220) works equally well with silver and gold accessories. I'm applying the same philosophy to this Armand Riviera Pendant ($375). A gold interior casts a warm glow against the hammered silver exterior - perfect for mixing up metallic decor!

I love incorporating animal prints into my wardrobe and decor, because they add a graphic punch but are classic prints. This Animal-Print Cotton and Silk-Blend Blouse ($1,100) feels especially polished with a tie-neck detail. I always gravitate toward a great animal-print layering piece for a room, like this Leather Zebra Cowhide Rug ($2,360).

An urban, boyish approach to romantic style, Fab reader bunniebar mixes sweet and light fabrics and colors with a sleeveless hooded sweater and high-waisted linen pants.

She maintains the femininity with the platform pumps and sheer button down blouse.

Congrats to bunniebar!

Oh, how we love a maxi skirt. Fab reader maffionista shared with us the prettiest picture of how a maxi skirt can be romantic and crisp - all at once.
