Perfect tans; salt-soaked, natural waves; and cool, sporty suits. No wonder we all covet the classic wave-rider aesthetic. We saw a sophisticated rendition, thanks to fashion photographer Greg Kadel's editorial for Vogue Spain, and that chic take seems to be holding as Michael Kors featured a surf theme for his Resort 2012 collection. Whether it's a fashion-meets-function rashguard, neoprene beach bag, or a pair of boho-cool woven wedges, effortless surf style is easy to attain. For all of you beach babes having neoprene dreams this Summer, here are 10 great pieces that will help you capture the ultimate surfer-girl style.

Trend Alert: Bubble Trouble

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Just when I thought someone magically popped the fashion bubble, we are back in bubble trouble. Designers and celebrities alike can't get enough of bubble hems. To be truthful, this is a look only a slim gal should attempt and heels lessen any negative bubbling of the body. Emma Roberts wore a dark and tailored Sass & Bide bubble dress, The Hills' Lo donned a colorful Ina Soltani bub, and Elizabeth Bank's Moschino bubbler was gray and subdued. I prefer the bubbles that have a tailored approach, at least it's a reinvention of the trend. Does anyone else wish this '80s trend would bubble over already?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Pajama-Rama

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:00:22 PDT

Last weekend's pajama party was overflowing with popcorn and fun. The girls and I had a blast sipping champagne as we watched teen flicks from the '80s and reminisced about the good old days. I know it sounds corny, but we even played truth or dare. Girls just wanna have fun.

I started you off with these UGG Australia Sheepskin Flip-Flops ($70) because I couldn't resist the decadently soft texture.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is pink all over. Love those polka-dot jammies!

Trend Alert: Ruffles and Pleats, Please

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:00:11 PDT

We've chatted about pleats. We've oogled over ruffles. What do you get when you combine the two textural forces? Something delectable. So yes, I'll take ruffles and pleats, please. And a side of Keira Knightley wearing both in her grape-tastic Erdem frock. The cherry on top? A smile from the British babe -c'mon Keira!

Trend Alert: All That Glitters

FabSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 09:00:22 PDT

All the razzle and dazzle of the Cannes Film Festival has me begging for all that glitters. Silver sparkles, in the form of beads and sequins add a cool, not costumey, feel to clothes. Although I love to play dress up too, so if you are feeling costumey - for say a glamorized Grey Gardens - look to John Galliano's Spring collection for inspiration. For us folks on planet earth, a subtly beaded neckline or flat will deliver the trend just so.

Simply Fab: Sass & Bide Exclusive Tie Dye Tank Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 09:00:22 PST

Fashion is targeting breast cancer in a whole new way this time: tie dye. Sass & Bide has lent its exclusive tie dye tank dress ($170), to Net-A-Porter.com as part of the retailer's third installment of Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is a topic that hits close to home for Sass & Bide co-founder Heidi Middleton, who was diagnosed with it in February 2007. But she and partner Sarah-Jane Clarke were ambassadors for the organization long before that. Actress Michelle Monoghan (left), models the Fall '08 dress, whose proceeds will aid Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Worldwide.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:00:22 PST

While big sis Paris wore next to nothing for her Vegas birthday bash, Nicky Hilton opted for a classier ensemble with her Sass & Bide bow dress. The mix of silver accessories gives the look a relaxed feel. Some girls would be intimidated by a sexily dressed sister, but Nicky seems comfortable being the cute and covered-up sibling.
