Trend Alert: Patterned Tights

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I've heard friends say they're one of those things that are fun in theory, but dicey in reality. And don't plain black tights seem so . . . boring? Exhibit A: Diane Kruger at the ELLE Women in Hollywood awards. Even though her Balenciaga dress had a marbelized print, she opted for Swiss dot hose and a hot pink clutch. Sometimes more is more, and that means you shouldn't hesitate to whip out those striped, dotted, or zigzag tights you've been jonesing to wear. Patterned tights add depth, texture, and spunk to any ensemble.

Get ready to taste the delicious "Dessert of Shapewear" - Spanx's Haute Contour collection. Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, felt bringing fashion to shapewear was the next step for her brand. Thus, was born a collection of beautiful shapewear that incorporates lace, scallops, mesh, and sheer fabrics. Now, it won't be embarrassing if your Spanx happen to show. Actually, some of the Haute Contour pieces, like the Couture Camisole ($198), worn by the model, are meant to show. Gwyneth Paltrow already got some; now it's your turn.

Celebrity Style: Anne Hathaway

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Anne stopped by the David Letterman show in an ensemble that will inspire those hesitant to dabble with the moody combination of navy and black. Her pajama-style Marc Jacobs wrap dress from the Resort line looks super sophisticated against black accessories like opaque tights, patent Brian Atwood pumps, and a black Ferragamo woven bag. The oval turquoise earrings and chunky gray cocktail ring are nice, simple touches. So, does Anne have you convinced?

Dress Me Up: Modern Pinup

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:30:22 -0700

Perry is the perfect example of a modern pinup girl. Most of you weren't feeling her VMA's look so let's give the songstress a chance to redeem herself. Here she is looking sexy and sweet in a retro-inspired ensemble. From the fitted striped top to her polka dot skirt, this outfit screams vintage babe.

Looking like a modern pinup doesn't come with strict guidelines. Just remember to keep the top of your ensemble structured and the bottom flared - to create the perfect womanly silhouette. Pair with some cute heels, red lipstick, and a confident, flirty attitude. Remember, it's all about the details.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS Superfine Piqué Shirt - $168.00	Mesh Cotton Skirt - $17.80
Stuart Weitzman Peep-Toe Platform Pump - $355.00	SPANX® Antique Lace Tights - $28.00

Fab Body Guide: Assets Unbelievable Underwear

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

The creator of Spanx, Sara Blakely, is continuing her streak of genius with a new line of shapewear called Assets by Sara Blakely ($10-$20).

Take your pick from the unbelievable underwear (left), which sucks in bulges; the sensational shaper, which minimizes your waistline; and the fabulous footless, which makes you look slimmer in the thigh area. As far as I'm concerned, any product that makes me look more streamlined is A-OK!

Simply Fab: Spanx Bra-Llelujah

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Bras are like good men: they're hard to come by, but once you find the one, you stick with it for life. Spanx's Bra-Llelujah ($34) can be a constant companion for you. Unlike sexy bras that aren't functional, this first-ever all-hosiery bra is super comfortable, has no wires, and provides full support. But that's not what sets it apart.

Practically all bra companies preach the above; what's different about the Bra-Llelujah is that it gets rid of VBL (Visible Bra Lines). You've already taken care of VPLs, so why stop there?
