Trend Alert: Bolder Than Bold Geo Dresses

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:00:22 -0800

Must . . . fight . . . post-holiday depression. I tend to grab cozies and neutrals after a month of decadent nibbles, sequins, and party gear. But Jennifer Lopez is a believer in the healing power of bolder than bold geo dresses. Though the holidays are over, party time isn't - I already have some cool parties lined up in January, and awards season is upon us. And nothing perks the party up like a standout print. Jennifer's draped Mara Hoffman encompasses Winter colors, and the longer sleeves remind us it's still hibernation time. Hibernating never looked so hot. Come Spring, shed the tights, and these will shine just as bright.

Here's a fun post frugalfashion22 shared in The Frugal Fashionista group.

It’s holiday time and you know what that means: shopping for party dresses. This season I decided I want to show a little skin. What better way to do it than with an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress? I’ve found three show-stoppers all for $100 or less! This dress from T-Bags is sure to make a statement at your party. Made of a stunning gold jacquard fabric, it features a large asymmetrical bow across the bust area. The bubble skirt and empire waist will give you an instant sexy hourglass silhouette. And you won't believe the price - originally $335, it’s now 70% off, and yours for $100. Find it at theoutnet.com.

Celebrity Style: Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson was spotted frolicking in NYC, first in a navy romper and then in this Lauren Moffatt white maxi dress. It's been a while since we've seen a gorgeous boho look and leave it to Kate to deliver. This outfit is all about the accessories; Kate is a master at piling it on, from the turquoise earrings to the layered necklaces (Kathy Rose Arrowhead Necklace) to the stacked rings. It all comes together very naturally, doesn't it? If the maxi is too maximum for you, peep the shorter flutter-sleeve version.

Trend Alert: Knotty

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 06:00:22 -0800

Chloe's white draped and knotted Marios Schwab cotton dress may be very Venice beach circa 1982, but like many of her rare finds, Chloe rocks it with aplomb. She even has the beachy hair - and Jimmy Choo sandals - to go with. The standout detail on her cool dress is the knot that gives way to a high thigh slit. If you too are feeling knotty, there are hybrids aplenty. Knots are a majestic detail that can make a top, dress, or piece of jewelry unique. I have a twisted pair of studs that always pique interest.

Trend Alert: The Single Sleeve

The life of the single gal can be lonely. But there are no tears here. Single gal, meet single sleeve. Dramatic, sexy, and ready to party. Just look to Jada (see left) for inspiration. But I'm confused. You loved Alexis Bledel's Mischen one sleeve LBD, but not Maria Sharapova's Lanvin. What gives? Single sleeves for everybody!

Kate Hudson introduced her new man to her mom Goldie during a casual afternoon lunch in Santa Monica. The actress also showed off her love of flowy dresses by wearing a teal halter maxi by T-Bags and accessorizing with Giuseppe Zanotti buckle sandals and an ostrich bag. Seeing as Santa Monica is an urban beach community, this comfy-cum-cute ensemble is quite appropriate.

Trend Alert: Long & Lean

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:00:22 -0700

No doubt Keira Knightley is long & lean. And, while Sienna Miller isn't a big girl by any standards, she isn't tall. But slip on a long black maxi dress and the illusion is created. You can also achieve this with tailored trousers, a flattering jumpsuit, an opposing palette and really high heels. Are you up for the challenge? Trust me, it's worth it. The proof is in the pudding. That pudding being long & lean duo Keira (in Chanel) and Sienna (in Jasmine Di Milo) at The Edge of Love photocall.

The Look for Less: T-Bags Solid Terry Jumper

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:00:22 -0700

The jumper is a highly popular trend this season and I can see why. It has a child-like charm and is the perfect excuse to fashionably show off those legs you've been working so hard at the gym. This T-Bags Solid Terry Jumper ($176) is the perfect substitute to wearing short shorts. The color is crisp and the gold button detailing is adorable but I'm not too keen on spending my hard earned money on such a novelty.

This Guess Heidi Jumper ($79), is a more reasonable alternative. It has the same cut and style except it has white buttons instead of gold. Hey, if I'm saving that much money, I think I can live with that!

T-Bags Print V Neck Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Prints are a surefire way to spruce up a wardrobe. But beware: they sometimes run into tacky town. Take, for instance, this T-Bags Print V Neck Dress ($167). I love the spruce green print but the short hemline and low V neck leaves little to the imagination. Do you think this tiny frock is hot, or not?

Life's a Beach: Bandeau Babe

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0700

If you're like me and cringe at the idea of tan lines, I suggest you join the bandeau babe club. True, you can't frolic through the waves in one of these - if you must, I suggest getting one with a removable halter strap - but also true, this style suit is retro active. Many celebs have been favoring the cool strapless vibe of a bandeau, see Drew and her beau giggling in the waves. Drew, who is a member of the club, proves the bandeau to be bodacious.
