FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:47:09 PDT

I hope you have been enjoying our O.C. wardrobe tribute posts! Alas, all good things come to an end, as did The O.C. after a mere four seasons. Now I have to admit I totally lost interest after Marissa died in Season 3. Therefore I can't deliver a recap of the final season, but someone in another Sugar pod can! I did tune in a few times, but I just wasn't feeling it anymore. Did you all feel the same way?

I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 3

FabSugar — Wed, 16 May 2007 11:02:22 PDT

Season Three of The O.C. was the pinnacle for the show. Marissa gets kicked out of school for her shooting incident from Season Two, she then eventually goes off the deep end and turns to drugs & alcohol and relations with bad boy, Volchok. Kristin is recovering from her bouts with the bottle while Julie falls in love with Summer's dad - go figure. Adorable little blondie Anna & slightly annoying, but somewhat endearing, Taylor add comic relief. We re-meet Marissa's quickly grown up sassy little sis, Kaitlin. Also, Summer's style really evolves and she shows us her full beauty potential. All of this leading up to the foursome graduating, all from Harbor (yay!). Then, just when we thought they were home free and off to college, Marissa meets the ultimate doom and dies in a car accident. I for one, was totally crushed. On to the clothes, for which there were many cute ones this season!

I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 1

FabSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 11:00:22 PDT

We thought with Summer right around the corner it would be fun to put together a wardrobe tribute for a guilty pleasure TV show that took place in a sublimely sunny part of the world: The O.C.. I for one was smitten by all the teen angst, with money, drama and the seemingly beautiful people. I wanted to hate Marissa for her unreal good looks and mood swings and Ryan for his violent temper and smoldering brow - but I just couldn't. And the parents were so cool, and beautiful too, albeit they had their own intriguing skeletons in their walk-in closets.

The O.C. set trends. Marissa inspired teenage, and er, twenty-somethings, to want to carry a Chanel handbag as their school book bag. Summer had a cute-as-a-button boho-California style that spawned my Marc by Marc Jacobs obsession and taught us all how to layer wisely. Kirsten and Julie had MILF written all over them. And, we all came to appreciate the cool dork in the Penguin polos: Seth. Without further ado...here is Season One. Stay tuned tomorrow for Season Two!

Season One

On Summer:
Charles Nolan Dotted Voile Blouse, $230.
Edun Monarch Bootcut Stretch Jeans, $150.
Jerome Dreyfuss Momo Disco Bag, $370.

On Marissa:
Old Navy Lace Trim Cami, $13.
J. Crew City-Fit Vintage Ripstop Cropped Cargos, $40.

To see the rest,

On Kirsten:

Liz Claiborne Fashionista Patent Clutch, $60.

On Marissa:
Victoria's Secret Tube Bra Top, $14.

How Your Wardrobe Reveals Your Personality

LearnVest — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:15:13 PDT

Your clothes reveal a lot about who you are as a person. LearnVest shares how psychology affects the way we dress and what our clothing styles mean.

It’s no news that your wardrobe says a lot about you.

What you wear can inform passersby of your type of employment, as well as your ambitions, emotions, and spending habits.

And now it’s even launched a whole new type of psychology.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner literally wrote the book on this phenomenon, which she calls the “psychology of dress.” In You Are What You Wear: What Your Clothes Reveal About You, she explains not only how psychology determines our clothing choices, but also how to overcome key psychological issues your wardrobe might be bringing to light in your everyday life, or even at work.

“Shopping and spending behaviors often come from internal motivations such as emotions, experiences, and culture,” says Dr. Baumgartner. “You look at shopping or storing behaviors, even putting together outfits, and people think of it as fluff. But any behavior is rooted in something deeper. I look at the deeper meaning of choices, just like I would in therapy.”

We spoke with her to figure out why clothes are so revealing (of our personalities, that is), what messages they’re sending and how you can use your wardrobe to change how others perceive you - and even how you think about yourself.

How We Use Clothing as an Aid . . . and a Weapon

Americans rely on clothing as an economic and social indicator because there aren’t official marks of rank such as a caste system or aristocracy, says Dr. Baumgartner.

“When you don’t have a specific system, people come up with their own,” she explains. It’s what “helps you figure out where you fit in. Especially now, with the economy, with people losing status, maintaining a sense of who we are becomes even more important. Our clothes help place us where we think we want to be. ”

She cites the Real Housewives TV series as an example: “Look at the way they focus on money. When they fight, they use logos and designers as a way to put each other down. They’re using clothes and accessories both as a tool to know where they fit in and as a weapon against others.”

Style Guide: Festival Fashion

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:54:21 PDT

We are thrilled to share this story from Lauren Conrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven has started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. This week, she's sharing her festival fashion picks.

It's that time of year… festival season! Over the next few months, hipsters, trendsetters and music-lovers alike will be flocking to various music festivals all over the country. And as a matter of fact, I will be going to Coachella this year! I'm really excited. And to be honest, I cannot wait to dress up like a flower child for three days in a row... While I'm looking forward to the music, the number one thing on my mind right now is fashion. Or more accurately, what I am going to wear.

If you ask me, there are four major must-haves when packing for a fashionable festival getaway: shorts (short skirts can be dangerous), lightweight tops (it's hot), comfortable (but stylish) footwear and a few breezy dresses. Seeing as my team has already shared their expert picks for festival flair, I thought I'd spotlight my wardrobe essentials for the big weekend…

Without further ado, here are my must-pack fashion picks for Coachella:

Fabulous, breezy tops are essential . . .

KAIN silk tank, Paper Crown Metallic Knit Top, Topshop crochet vest, Textile Elizabeth & James Zuma Tank

See all of Lauren's picks after the break.

If We Traveled Like Miranda Kerr . . . We'd Wear Sweatpants on the Plane Too

Noria Morales — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:00:59 PDT

It seems like Miranda Kerr is always in an airport, zipping between New York, LA, and Australia as if they were a few miles away from each other and not thousands of miles, and one of her many skills is looking snappy when she's fresh off the plane. Most of the time she's in Nobody denim and a sharp blazer, but this time, we caught her in sweatpants. In fact, she looks fantastic wearing sweatpants, but these aren't any sweatpants - they're 3.1 Phillip Lim sweatpants that are perfectly slouchy and thin, and she paired them with an oversized denim shirt, low booties, and a printed silk scarf. It's a brilliantly casual outfit that is totally comfy. Here are some notes:

She cuffed her sweatpants and wore them slightly loose. Sweatpants should never be too tight. Ever.

A bright, printed scarf added color and a bit of sophistication and saved the outfit from looking like it belonged on the couch, in front of the TV, with a bag of Fritos.

She wore her token Isabel Marant booties, which is a little cooler than, say, a pair of sneakers.

While she is carrying her incredibly adorable son Flynn, we think she would carry something lux like a Balenciaga weekender bag ($1,745) in deep yellow suede.
That said, we're putting ourselves in Miranda's booties and imagining a travel wardrobe full of luxurious basics. Shop our widget to get your own.
