Look of the Day: Peek-a-boo

FabSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:00:22 PDT

syako's look reminds me of a Fab look Beyonce wore and I like it! Her frilly lace top goes great with the wide legged khakis and I adore the peek-a-boo sandals.

Here's what she has on:

Top: Target
Pants: Gap
Bracelets: Dillards
Sandals: Nine West

Congrats to syako!

Celebrity Style: Katie Holmes

While papa Tom was hard at work, mama Katie and baby Suri strolled in Tiergarten Park in Berlin. It's not every day that one walks through the park in super duper wide-leg plaid trousers and pumps, but somehow Katie makes it look effortless. I love that she's singlehandedly bringing back plaid! She proves that gearing up for Fall is a, well, stroll in the park!

amfAR Gala Trendspotting: Tuxedo-Inspired Silhouettes

Marisa Tom — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:43:28 PST

A slick tuxedo-inspired silhouette can instantly add structure, sex appeal, and an empowered sense of glamour to any red-carpet ensemble. At last night's amfAR New York gala, we spotted five star-studded examples of the menswear-friendly style. Model Joan Smalls suited up in a lapel-infused floor-length gown, complete with a peplum pop at the waist; singer Janelle Monáe opted for a more traditional tuxedo blazer over a black wide-leg jumpsuit; and model Liya Kebede stunned in a sportier version of the tailored trend by wearing slouchy tuxedo pants with a silky blouse. Whether you take a more literal approach to the trademark tuxedo staples (read: blazers, lapels, pantsuits) or interpret the look with a more feminine twist (think soft dress shirts and peplum details), we think it provides a superchic finish.

Got Two Left Feet? Let Zumba Help You Find the Beat

Self — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:12:19 PST

We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar!

If you're anything like me, Zumba has always held a certain allure, but the very idea of dancing in front of a roomful of people sounds about as appealing as doing my taxes or making a spur-of-the-moment appointment at the DMV. I'm not just painfully shy about busting a move but hopelessly uncoordinated in the booty-shaking department.

So after years of avoiding Zumba for fear of embarrassing myself, I decided it was time to stop being a wallflower and start working up a sweat. "I used to be a very shy person but I have learned that everything in life is about attitude," says Gisella Ferreira, a Zumba instructor at the Brasil Brasil Cultural Center in Los Angeles. "Having a positive attitude makes all the difference, so go with an open mind and let yourself enjoy the party!"

As for doing the actual dance steps, Ferreira is quick to point out that literally anybody can follow along with a little practice. "I see new Zumba students every day that have never danced in their lives and are able to dance through the whole class," she says. "Zumba is a world dance fitness party. It's easy to do, effective, and totally exhilarating." If that's not enough motivation, Ferreira says Zumba burns between 500 and 800 calories per class and targets "glutes, thighs, calves, abdominals, core, pectorals, biceps, and triceps."

Ready to get this party started? Add this five-move sequence to your regular workout routine four days a week and, before you know it, you'll be dancing in the streets. Read on for the workout.

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: Feeling Like Fall

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:00:36 PDT

As far as Fall imagery goes, this is pretty dead-on. From the beautiful Autumn light to the sophisticated ensemble, it speaks perfectly to those seasonal nuances - cozy textures, a classic camel coat, and rich wide-leg pants. Fab reader thestylesafari captures both the trends and the timelessness of Fall in one great head-to-toe look, and inspires us to do the same.

Congrats to thestylesafari!

Tori Spelling's Tips For Boho-Chic Holiday Style

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:56:09 PST

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. This week, Tori helps mamas hone their holiday style with some boho-chic style ideas.

Today I'm bringing you another hot holiday trend - boho chic! Let’s be honest, the '70s never really went away. If you are a vintage collector (like me) or if you just never threw away your (or your mama’s) '70s duds (hello, fellow fashion hoarders!), you can pull these looks straight from your own closet. Today’s boho chic holiday ensemble includes a (faux) fur coat, pussy-bow blouse, wide-leg pants, floppy hat, velvet burnout sweaters/accessories, and my ultimate favorite – vintage jewelry!

For Day
Not only is this look beyond glam, you can rock these separates throughout the year.

That luxe faux fur coat is from affordable British store Topshop, or you can raid your fave vintage store to find a look-alike.
A classic boho combo is a pussy-bow blouse and wide-leg pant. Taupe is the color of the season - whether on your nails or your shoes - it’s everywhere.
Try accessorizing it with a pop of color like the emerald green striped clutch by Edie Parker, pictured above.
This outfit has plenty of punch, so just to give it an added sparkle, I recommend dainty accessories. Pictured above is a Dana Rebecca necklace and Marc Jacobs’s bracelet. The sexy allure to this ensemble is that you are essentially covered up - chic and perfect for cold weather. Pin your hair back to highlight your best asset!
