Found! Eva Longoria's Strapless Smock Dress

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 05:23:22 -0700

It looks like Eva Longoria loves Shopbop as much as we do. The actress wore a Bop Basics Strapless Smock Mini Dress in Lilac ($108) while recently shopping in LA. It comes in five colors but the lilac hue complements Eva's honey skin quite nicely. And it's the perfect dress to cover up a bun in the oven, if the rumors are true. Mrs. Tony Parker completed the look with her favorite Gerard Darel purse and black flip-flops.

Online Sale Alert! Extra 1/3 Off at Neiman Marcus

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

It's time to start stocking up. Right now, Neiman Marcus is hosting an end of season sale offering an additional 1/3 off (roughly 33.3 percent) already reduced items. That means sweet deals on those pieces you've been craving all season long.

I'm nabbing this Theory Dyed Smocked Top ($120, originally $190); I love the colors, and since it's a classic Summer staple, I won't have to worry about it going out of style.

Milly Tropical Floral Smocked Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 04:00:22 -0700

No, it's not Pocahontas, it's Milly. What do you think about this Milly Tropical Floral Smocked Dress ($421)? The sequined floral embellishments are a flirty touch but the silky brown, suede-like texture and tiered skirt are a little too granola for my taste. But you never know, someone out there might be loving Michelle Smith's latest confection - is it you?

Look Book Love: Joie, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I first fell for Joie's bohemian hip clothes a couple years back when I scored an amazing leather jacket from the brand on eBay. It had amazing tough details, yet was still girlie. For Fall, Joie takes the same route, supplying us with printed smock tops, cozy oversize sweaters, and soft tiers; the muted colors are effortless and understated. Did you know Joie means joy in French? Makes sense since I feel nothing but calm elation when I look at this collection.

March Shopping Madness! Country Cutie

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I'm a city gal but that won't stop me from looking like a country cutie. To fake this Midwest vibe, dig around for soft, floral prints and muted colors. Smaller florals - like VS model Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Pink corset floral dress - deliver the best country girl illusion. If dresses aren't your thing, pair a smocked top with some cut-off jean shorts for a more casual look.

Here's the most important part to getting this right: take another glance at the South African beauty. Did you notice how she paired her dress with kickass Alex Wang heels? That's how you do it. Contrast all of that country softness with a tough piece to give it a modern touch.

Found! Jenny McCarthy's Blue Ombre Maxi Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey enjoyed time on the beach on the 4th of July, and while Jim looked pretty good in his woman's bathing suit, she was hotter in her Scoop Beach Smocked Dress ($365). It comes with a rope belt but Jenny opted to remove it for the beach. Unlike many other ombre maxis, this one is silk so it's wearable in dressy situations. I told you dip-dyed maxis were all the rage.
