Simply Fab: Calypso Satin Convertible Wrap Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:00:22 -0800

I've already been a bridesmaid one too many times in my life. Can you sense the lack of enthusiasm in my voice, er words? If my friends had let me wear this Calypso Satin Convertible Wrap Dress ($270), my outlook on bridesmaid fashion would be very different. What I love about it is that it can be worn eight different ways . . . or more, if you're super creative. As if that wasn't Fab enough, it's hand washable. Gorgeous and low-maintenance? Nice.

Simply Fab: Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Emergency Kit

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:00:22 -0700

Did you gals know that the W Hotel has an online store chock full of cute items? One of my favorite things up for grabs is this Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Emergency Kit, $320. It includes, you guessed it, a DVF black wrap dress, a thong and a garment bag. You know, for one of those times when that jerk spills red wine on your white dress.

Fret not: all you'll have to do is bust the kit out of your suitcase and slip it on for a quick change. Poof! It's fashion magic minus the cheesy top hat and wand.

Designer Spotlight: MK2K

You may have heard of edgy clothing line MK2K - it's a celebrity favorite. Judging from its unique pieces (I love that cutout blazer, center) it's easy to see why so many swear by Michelle Kim's designs.It all started when Kim couldn't find a sweater that was functional, stylish, and inexpensive. So in August 2006, MK2K started offering contemporary knits that retail for under $200. The Fall/Winter collection is made up of all things cozy - knit wraps, vest sweaters, and wool dresses. It's effortless without losing panache.

2009 American Music Awards: Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis arrived at the AMAs in a black galactic frock complete with a sharp bust detail and double hemline. Since her dress says enough on its own, the singer accessorized minimally with a space-age ring and chain wrapped booties. Are you digging her funky ferocity?

Sandra Bullock in Taupe Halston Wrap Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:50:22 -0700

If you think Sandra Bullock is swimming in her taupe Halston wrap dress at the premiere of The Proposal in Germany, that's because she is. It's the intention; the dress is designed to drape the body in a loose manner. What I have beef with is the color. Taupe doesn't pop like, say, white or black would. The brown studded belt breaks up the monotony and the delicate gold jewels provide minor shine. The asymmetrical hem reveals Sandra's gray Christian Louboutin platforms. What do you think of this overall look?

Celebrity Style: Sasha Pivovarova

Among Stella McCartney's model friends to attend her Paris store opening was the ferocious Sasha Pivovarova. While most guests wore head-to-toe black, Sasha went against the grain by wearing a bright purple wrap dress. She hardened the look with layered chain necklaces and a jeweled headband. I commend Sasha for breaking free from cookie-cutter ways. We can all use a bit of that model confidence!

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Navy Wrap Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:00:22 -0800

Black and blue keeps on going and going. Anne Hathaway dabbled with the color combination via her navy Marc Jacobs wrap dress back when she attended the David Letterman Show in October. She added black with opaque tights, pumps, and a Ferragamo bag. Courteney Cox Arquette chose the same dress for the Bedtime Stories premiere in Hollywood. She kept her look black and blue, too, only she added a necklace and a clutch. Two fine actresses, but which wore their Marc Jacobs better?

Trend Alert: Wrapped in Gray

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I've died and gone to gray heaven. My everyday neutral has been sexified by model Selita Ebanks, designer Haider Ackermann, and actress Paula Patton. They are all wrapped in gray, and I'm wrapped in envy. While gray is the perfect canvas for a colorful accessory, here it stands alone just fine. While the color may be safe, the cuts are anything but; ruched, draped, asymmetrical, slit, and one-shouldered, the party never ends. If you're seeking one dress to take you through the season, look no further.

The Look For Less: DVF Wrap Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 22:27:04 -0700

The Diane von Furstenberg Utility Wrap Dress, available for $345 here, is a timeless classic, with its flattering torso and flowing jersey fabric. But really, isn't 350 bucks a little steep for a casual daytime dress? If you love the look but aren't crazy about the price, I've found a great dress that gives you the same look for $275 less. To see what it is, read more

Check out this Bisou Bisou Wrap Dress, available for $69.99 at JC Penney. It's made from polyester rather than silk, but with its sophisticated graphic print and a similar silhouette, the knockoff exudes the same effortless cool. What do you guys think?

Online Sale Alert! Express Dresses That Take You Into Fall

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:00:22 -0700

With the first day of Fall come and gone, I'm on the hunt for wallet-friendly dresses that can make the transition from Indian Summer to full-fledged Fall. Which is why I went to Express, where I spied this sassy snake print Tulip Wrap Dress ($30, originally $60). Since dresses and skirts are up to 50 percent off, I didn't even have to choose between this one and a long-sleeve version. Both will look totally Fab with black tights and booties.
