Gaga Street Style Inspired by Stage

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:00:22 PST

Check out this Lady Gaga-inspired post from OnSugar blog Belle Style Fashion.

Out with the gold, in with the silver. Is 2010 a silver year? Has gold of years prior, finally passed? According to Gaga, yes. Seldom seen without sunglasses, the Lady Gaga is performing with ultra high shoulder detailing, we saw it on the runway last Fall, but the high shoulders, it seems, will just be getting higher for 2010. The disco ball enhanced silver sparkles against white tailored ultra high-waist pants looks great on stage.

How do you wear it on the streets? A silver tank tucked into the high waisted pants would look amazing and work just as well. Throw on a silver jacket and you have this 2010 style in the bag!

Trend Alert: White Out

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Bust down old dowdy myths and embrace the white out. White pants come in many different styles and are a crisp alternative to wearing blue jeans. A more relaxed pair like Fendi's (left), from their 2009 Resort collection, will evoke a laid-back attitude while a pair of skinny white jeans will garner attention. Either way, white out is so in.

Cynthia Rowley Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:59:50 PST

Deriving inspiration from craftsmen - mechanics, cobblers, and (much more obviously) leathermen, Cynthia Rowley's own Fall craftsmanship honed in on these artists with a succinctly modern and much sportier interpretation. Save for denim on denim suiting or brilliant colored leather, there's not too much literal interpretation, but rather a cool collection of womanly, curve-conscious design married with menswear-inspired structure. We're treated to bold all-over prints washed over body-skimming sheaths, skinny pants, and even gloves. And while a tougher, boxier leather jacket lined in shearling might pinpoint Rowley's craftsmen influences, what takes shape is still definitively for the girls.

Trends: Colored leather, abstract prints, menswear.
Colors: Blue, black, maroon, orange, olive green, gray, white.
Key Piece: We love the printed pants, shearling-trimmed jacket, and deep navy leather pieces.
Accessories: Aviator shades, ankle boots, strappy platforms and socks, jeweled necklaces at the collar, feather-adorned bags, graphic printed gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Girls with an appetite for truly modern, crafty sportswear.

Celeb Style: Rooney Mara's Statement Top and Heels

Hannah Weil — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:59:39 PST

Rooney Mara knows how to keep it interesting. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's style setter outfitted another fashion-forward look while promoting her film in Tokyo. If you fear the statement power of her peplum and ruffled Givenchy top, the outfit's style elements are still easy to translate into your own wardrobe. We're loving the clean black-and-white palette and modern accents; emote the same look with a creamy peplum blouse and a pair of slick leather-trimmed pants, like Miss Mara's H&M bottoms. A pair of minimalist heels provide the perfect finish. Feeling inspired? Shop our key pieces to mimic Rooney's modern elegance.

Peek Inside Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 Garden Party Lookbook

Marisa Tom — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:39:39 PST

Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 collection is an ultra-feminine mix of flowy separates and expertly draped dresses - and we can't help but think we've happened upon a whimsical Alice in Wonderland garden tea party. We're particularly taken with the shimmery metallic minis, long pastel-hued frocks, and wide leg printed pants for all our future warm weather outings. The line sticks to Spring's go-to light color palette: silvers, whites, minty greens, pale blues, canary yellows, and girlie pink tones. And it presents our favorite ladylike silhouettes, including the peplum pop, drop-waist details, and super-sexy sheer cutouts. Read below for our must-have items, then click through to see the Spring collection in full.

Every girl should have a LWD like this one. Its flirty mashup of sheer, lace, and fringe combines sweet dressing elements into one subtly sexy look.
We're loving the overflow of pastels and this sweet spearmint maxi is no exception. Let these Spring-specific shades speak for themselves - a simple cinch, nude wedges, and a romantic updo are all you need to complement Alice + Olivia's designs.
You can never go wrong with a gorgeous print. Whether it's animal-inspired or floral-heavy, these seasonless patterns can easily translate into fun layering pieces for those outfit drama days.

Look of the Day: Leopard and Jewel Tones

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:30:09 PST

Check out how Fab reader JustPatience spiced up a jewel toned look with an exotic leopard print twist. Her mustard yellow cigarette pants, white blouse, and chic black trench coat are a sleek teaser of what's to come. Between the leopard print smoking slippers, spotted scarf, and floppy burgundy fedora, we can't decide which accessory we're coveting most. Bottom line: a bold color and a fun print can go a long way in making an outfit statement.

Congrats to JustPatience!

One-Minute Makeover Tip: Add a Burst of Burgundy

Marisa Tom — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:30:34 PST

To reinvent the wardrobe wheel, look no further than the darkest reaches of your closet, where refreshed styling bounty awaits. We've tapped our style-savvy community and fashion-wise editors to breathe new life into pieces we already own. Rest assured, this one-minute makeover is sweet, simple, and budget-friendly - no strings attached. This week, we're in a merlot kind of mood; all you need to reinvent your look is a burst of burgundy.

While a bright pop of color can add a neon-infused note to any look, a burst of dark red can inject just the right amount of sultry into an ensemble. Rock shades of maroon in a textured scarf, floppy brimmed hat, corduroy pants, or tailored blazer.
Mix this cool tint with warmer layers - it's all about the unexpected accents and daring details. Whether it's a burgundy maxi skirt paired with a white button-up and mustard yellow sweater or a crimson-colored cardigan matched with toastier tones, this is an autumnal color that can transition seamlessly into a Winter outfit.
Wear this burgundy hue in plush fabrics. Its deep, velvety complexion makes for a luxurious palette. We envision this cool color looking extra suave on a floor-length silk dress, felt smoking slippers, cable-knit sweaters, and suede knee-high boots.

Hit the Slopes in Style: Adorable Ski Apparel For Kids

Anna Monette Roberts — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:29:43 PST

The holiday ski season is in full swing, so it's time to gear up the kiddies for a day in the snow. Keep it basic with the pants and mittens, so they can be worn again next year or handed down to little siblings. Bold hats and jackets will help mama distinguish her kids on the mountain. If ski weekends are filling your Winter calendar, it may make sense to invest in some junior skis with your tot's favorite cartoon.

For Paul Frank fanatics: The Junior Julius AKO Wave Ski ($205) is geared toward novice to intermediate skiers and is designed to make skiing a light and fun feat.

For the cool kid on the slopes: Gordini's Little G2 Goggle ($15) have all of the safety features of the grown-up version, but sized down for lil ones.

For a basic staple: Brooks Brothers Ski Bib Pants ($148) have adjustable straps, so your kids can grow into them for several years. The black color is gender neutral – that way all younger siblings can receive this hand-me-down.

For the bold and silly: Gymboree Lion Sweater Hat ($18) is a bright and distinguishable hat, so you can find your kid amid the crowded slopes.

For the très chic daughter: London Fog Tweens Hooded Ski Jacket ($135) has a hot pink fleece lining, yet the white exterior will deflect sunlight, so she won't become too hot while skiing.

For a basic but stylish look: Greendog Kids Basic Ski Mittens ($11) are cute, but durable and machine-washable, so you can easily keep them clean.

Tales From the Fit Community: Unintentional Naked Yoga

Anna Monette Roberts — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 11:03:22 PST

Here is a hilarious yet totally embarrassing hot yoga story from reader FunSally, who shared her wardrobe malfunction in our Yoga Stretch and Tell group.

This is a little story of my first hot yoga class. I was surprised to see mostly men there and, out of a class of 20, only three other women. I was already sweating before we even got started. It was really hot, and it wasn't long before sweat was dripping off me. My mat had a pool of my sweat on it, and I was really having trouble not slipping as I did my moves. For one move, I was sitting on my mat, and we reached for our big toes, spread our legs apart as far as we could, and rolled onto our backs.

I was feeling really exposed. When we stood up again and turned to the front of the room. I saw myself in the mirror. I couldn't believe it. My white Danskin was just that - a skin. I was embarrassed that my shorts and top were totally see-through. It was as if I was doing the class naked in front of everyone; everything was in full sight. My nipples were bare, my ass was completely visible, and my lower lips were open and on full display for the entire class to see. I was so shocked to see that every time I turned around. The men around me all smiled and seemed to be loving the show.

I was so humiliated. Finally when the class was over and I had to turn in my mat, my instructor smiled and ask me how I liked my first class. I told him I was so embarrassed. He told me not to worry about it and that it happens to a lot of first timers. I left the building still wet and exposed. I will never forget the moment when, as I was leaving, all the men said, "It was nice to see you."

Check Out Chanel's Exotic Pre-Fall 2012 Collection

Hannah Weil — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:13:59 PST

With luxe fabrics, metallic saris, jeweled headpieces, and Chanel's signature tweed, Karl Lagerfeld transported his Pre-Fall Paris spectators to colonial India. Rest assured, this collection is free of over-the-top Bollywood clichés, instead offering up imperial references in its homage to Bombay. While it highlights Chanel's expertise - suiting, ladylike dressing, rich texture, and layers of pretty pearls - it all marries perfectly with a beautiful departure to a more exotic aesthetic. Revealing that "most of the inspiration is from Indian men’s clothes rather than women’s clothes," Lagerfeld's parade of dresses and skirts over pants, gold-embroidered tunics, beaded sandals, and flat booties speaks both to bohemian decadence and wearability.

Trends: Dresses over pants, metallics, bohemian.
Colors: Black, white, gold, silver, and gunmetal metallics; a splash of fuchsia, blue, and pink.
Key Look: The cropped white button-down with the white draped skirt over pants, the silver and gold saris.
Accessories: Layered beaded necklace, headpieces, nose rings, bangles, green and brown quilted crossbody bags, embellished sandals, metallic booties, black-and-white booties, ties.
Who Would Wear It: The refined bohemian and Chanel fans, Freida Pinto, Kate Bosworth, Alexa Chung.
