Trend Alert: Urban Safari

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Just because a look is casual that doesn't mean it isn't party apropos. Sophia Bush graced the red carpet for the OP campaign launch party in a getup fit for an urban safari. And let's take a moment to admire her fit stems - nice. It's refreshing to see something utilitarian and cool, versus dolled up and decked. Because of her basics - army-green shorts, white tank, brown blazer - the outfit required some glam, which she delivered via sexy crisscross Miu Miu sandals, a cascading gold necklace, and dainty clutch. The right mix of casual and lady will lead you to your very own faboo urban safari. Safe travels!

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I took notice of Rabbit88's outfit because the skirt reminds me so much of Prada's Spring collection. I love how she took the look into safari garden territory with the khaki blazer. Nice work!

Here's what she has on:

Tank: Express
Jacket: Express
Belt: Betsey Johnson
Skirt: Tocca
Shoes: Steve Madden

Congrats to Rabbit88!

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:00:22 -0700

It's funny that I love the urban safari trend so much - not only am I terrified at the thought of being around wild animals, I'm the last person to rough it in the woods. Good news! In my smokin' safari world, you'll find no beasts or bugs (sorry Pet!); only the coolest khaki pieces, a pop of yellow, and funky jewels. Won't you join me? Jack and Lazaro, you're invited, too!

On Our Radar: Old Navy Turns Over New Leaf

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

Just like I hinted, Old Navy is getting a fresh, youthful makeover this Spring. Already in stores are safari-themed shirt dresses, jackets, and jumpsuits in rich, earthy tones with animal print mixed in - all still at friendly Old Navy prices.

Then, in March, breezy Palm Beach-inspired dresses in bold green prints, lots of white, and even a little seersucker suiting. If this is an attempt to catch up with the Zaras and the H&Ms of the world, I say bring it on, Old Navy!

The Look For Less: Proenza Schouler Safari Vest

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:30:11 -0800

Proenza Schouler's Spring '08 collection was inspirational to me because it took certain safari-esque pieces and glamorized them. I especially fell hard for the belted, long khaki vests (left). But being lovestruck doesn't usually equal cha-ching.

Sometimes Bebe's selections are so loud it hurts. Other times, like in the case of this Bebe Stretch Plaid Long Vest ($98), they are subtly stylish. I immediately had a vision of Proenza Schouler's runway show when I laid eyes on this vest. It's the most sophisticated and inexpensive way to dabble with the safari trend. Who's with me on this expedition?

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Donna Karan

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:00:22 -0700

As New York Fashion Week drew to a close, Donna Karan positioned herself to end the schedule with a bang by presenting her collection yesterday, the last day!

And what a bang it was: beautiful off-the-shoulder jersey column dresses, slim-fit suits with portrait collars, and full high-waisted a-line skirts all showed. The color palette was very safari-chic, with lots of caramels, beiges, creams, nudes, and dark browns punctuated with a few red and indigo pieces.

A very womanly aesthetic remained prominent, just like so many other New York shows this season; it was all about dresses and skirts - no pants and only a few shorts appeared. And say ta-ta to trapeze silhouettes - waists were cinched with wide sashes and buckle belts.

Be sure to check out all my New York Fashion Week coverage!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Tibi

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:00:33 -0700

Tibi jolted me awake in the AM with a sassy safari-inspired collection fit for both city and suburban girls.

The overall silhouette was slim, which is always figure flattering, and prints called "congo" and "kalahari" supplied the prefect amount of eye candy. A large grass green and min green gingham print, shown (hi Flavia!), was sweet and broke up the surefire safari fits. Some peasant tops, tattooed white leather numbers and a wild zebra prints prevented the collection from being too girlie. It was also refreshing to see some denim - it's been a while. Alas, these weren't girls, these were Tibi woman - ready for the urban jungle!

Be sure to check out all my New York Fashion Week coverage!
