This Week's Fab Favorite: May Andersen

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. Not in Danish model May Andersen who looked perfect shopping in NYC this week, but in the Couture week attendees. No one really stood out as a Fab favorite of the week. And so, the crown goes to this utterly cool and comfy model and her all-black fit.

It is a bit trendy - the romper, the fedora, Ray Bans, studded flat sandals - but all of these trends suit the model's whatever attitude. I also like that she's incognito. She looks perfectly at ease walking down the street, Milk shopping bag in tow (I wonder what she bought?), chatting on her cell. The accessories are dope: black and cream fedora, black leather Chanel bag, stacked black and gold bracelets. Her bracelets actually match her shoes - an interesting touch. The next time you're debating what to wear on a perfectly sunny day fit for errands, fit yourself like May.

I realize that rompers, daisy-duke ones at that, are not for everyone. But, if you're blessed with long gams then you should definitely jump into this Vintage Teal Stripe Romper, size S/M. It's even in Fab's color! The belt shown is not included, but surely you have one like it.

The current bidding price is at $10.50 and the auction ends on Thursday, May 1. Good luck and happy bidding!

McQ Zip Up Romper: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Alexander McQueen showed his colorful side with this McQ Zip Up Romper, ($400). The abstract print is Spring festive, but I'm not really sure about the short, high-waisted cut. It's pretty hard to pull off this look - it looks like a Rainbow Bright meets Power Ranger costume. Is this romper hot, or not?

Who Wore It Better? Calvin Klein Satin Romper

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Ah to be an Olsen twin . . . the money, the fame, and being able to root around in your sister's cavernous closet. Mary-Kate did just that at the premiere of 21 with this black Calvin Klein satin romper that Ash wore back in 2005. Mary-Kate, of course, put her own twist on it with a bold hot pink belt and her oversized (well, could just look that way on her) Miu Miu tie dye clutch. Ashley might mix it up a bit more if she wore it again, but back then she went with some peep toe d'orsays and some beachy hair. It's a rarity: an Olsen face-off; which Olsen are we loving more in this daring piece?

Trend Alert: Onesies!

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 08:45:44 -0700

The youthful all-encompassing onesie has certainly seen mixed emotions. I for one feel they are very beach-appropriate; the cute onesie is so easy to slip on and off and has a fun flair. On the streets they are more of a fashion risk. But, when worn with the right (minimal) accessories and a cool attitude, per Nicole Richie, they can look totally chic. Lastly, I would keep the look toned down and casual, like the ones here, and make sure your bod is in tip-top shape. As for those still on the fashion fence: you never know until you try!

Trend Alert: Shake Your Romper

FabSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Rompers were a hit last summer and they continue to grace us with their sexy little selves. Today's rompers are far more colorful and pattern happy. Take this YAYA Aflalo Easter Romper ($367). At first glance, it looks like an ethic mini dress but upon closer inspection, you learn that it's a unique romper. If a printed romper isn't suitable to your taste, opt for solid rompers in styles like strapless, button-down, halter, and boat-neck. Don't be shy, shake your romper!

Fergie in Black Strapless Romper: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 04:00:08 -0700

Fergie is still in Japan and still keeping her fashions funky. The singer stepped out on the streets of Tokyo in a black strapless silk romper that's loose up top and tapered at the bottom. Always one to accessorize, Fergie cinched her waist with a wide turquoise belt and dressed up her feet with complementing sandals. A black fringe bag, large black sunglasses, and a colorful layered necklace were also part of her bold look. Do you dig it or do you wish she would change it up?

The Lake & Stars Genius Romper: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

This The Lake & Stars Genius Romper ($215) reminds me of those cute little onesies I wore as a child. That was then, this is now. I'm not so sure if I can pull this off without looking like an overgrown child. But wouldn't it look great under a pair of jeans?

Designer Spotlight: CRHEE

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

Complexity versus ease: That's what CRHEE's Spring/Summer '10 collection explores. Luxurious silk fabrics are used in bold jewel tones and rhythmic prints - the result is dark romance, light sensuality. This season, designer Christine Rhee was inspired by everything from the photography of Guy Bordin, David Fincher videos, to muses Diana Ross and Diane von Furstenberg. She refers to this line as strangely familiar, the concept of classics with a modern undertone. Rompers, flowy tanks, and draped harem pants, ranging from $200 to $450, all fit the description.
