Step back, ladies, it's time for a sale raid. Net-a-Porter is on sale up to 60 percent off, and the pickings are fantastic, as usual. I still can't get over my obsession with yellow, and pretty pieces like this By Malene Birger Sloane pleated top ($141, originally $235) aren't helping. Not that I'm complaining - no girl can have enough vibrant tops, especially when they're bought on sale.

Trend Alert: Tulip Skirts

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Designers have been playing with volume for seasons now. What was once a frightening trend has evolved into something modern and wearable. The easiest way to play with volume is with a tulip skirt. All you need to do is keep is slim or structured on top, depending on whether you want to go flirty (see Emporio Armani Fall '07 at left) or artsy, and definitely pair with some sexy booties. Tulips require heels to blossom, and your overall womanly silhouette will flourish.

The eternally stylish Claudia Schiffer took her kids to school in an ensemble that's fresh, feminine, with a slight '70s flair. The supermodel tucked her airy sheer Malene Birger lavender blouse into a pair of light-wash, high-waist jeans and dressed her feet up with nude flat sandals. A purple and white YSL bag matches without going overboard, while her gold locket and Dolce and Gabbana glasses serve as cool finishing touches.

Fab Site: Les Nouvelles

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Les Nouvelles is not your average e-commerce destination. Yes, you can shop tons of adorable pieces by Camilla and Marc, Gryphon, Lover, and more, but you can do so much more. The style notes are super helpful, but my favorite part is playing your own stylist. There's a naked mannequin waiting for you to dress her up. I just created a super stylish outfit, now it's your turn!

Exclusive My-Wardrobe Pick Their Autumn Winter Fashion Buys

FabSugarUK — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 04:00:48 -0700

In the run up to Autumn we're asking the top beauty and fashion editors, bloggers, buyers, makeup and hair artists, stylists and industry experts to share with us their new season tips.

Today we caught up with My-wardrobe.com buyer Joanne Watkinson to find out what she recommends for the colder months.

First up the all important it-bag. Joanne recommends Anya Hindmarch's Perry, "This season texture is a key feature, and the mix of cord and leather in this bag is a perfect combination." She also loves the D&G Dolce&Gabbana Lily bag in black (£695). "The Lily bag is still a baby, entering into its 2nd season and creating quite a stir, the multi zip fastening being its piece de resistance."

Joanne explains her next pick, "What is Burberry better known for than its trench coats? The leather version from its cool offspring Thomas Burberry needs no introduction or explanation, designed under the watchful eye of Christopher Bailey, using inspiration from both mainline and archive pieces is a must-have."

She has also been impressed by the Ossie Clark revival and picks the navy silk blouse (£250) in particular. "The ruffle blouse combines beautifully the flamboyant charm of Ossie with the luxury of silk into a sophisticated coveted piece, which will never date."

Moving on to the cream pintuck sleeve blouse By Malene Birger. "The cut of the blouse is so elegant, the sleeves are just stunning, it’s very reminiscent of a Chanel Blouse. I’ve already planned my whole outfit around this piece, Vintage black high-waisted calf length panelled skirt, hair in a loose chignon and a string of pearls...Tres chic."

Last but by no means least is the Twenty8Twelve leather biker jacket. "This jacket ticks all the right boxes without even breaking a sweat. It's leather, cropped, has exposed zips, and its comes in 2 colours, black and blood red, I say no more."

Last time I was in Chicago, I stumbled upon this fabulous shop called Art Effect, a neighborhood boutique on Armitage billed as "a modern day general store." Now, I'm thrilled to discover that the store has a web site, too. Like its bricks-and-mortar equivalent, the online shop sells a wide array of adorable things, ranging from quirky designer fashions and jewelry to pretty stationery and luxurious home wares that make Art Effect a great place to buy wedding gifts.
