Dress Me Up: Roller Fab

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I have taken up a new hobby: roller skating! Not too long ago I asked your help in finding a sexy, cute rollerskating outfit for a roller disco party I went to. You did, and here is Roller Fab! With super sore thighs the next day, I went and bought some skates because I was so inspired (the ones I wore were actually YumSugar's!). My fresh skates are white with purple wheels and laces - Fab, no? Shopbop's Retro Fever section got the disco ball and thus the wheels turning for me again, and I couldn't refuse putting together an even more glam roller look.

Dress You Up! T-Shirt Dresses

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:20:40 -0700

I saved the most laid back of this Spring's Dress You Up! for Friday. Seriously, looking at one of these I just want to go to bed, wake up, roll out of bed and get back into bed - they are so comfy looking. Because of this t-shirt dresses are probably best saved for the weekend or if you have a really office casual job. I leave you on a TGIF note with these picks.

I hope you enjoyed Dress You Up! this week, I know I did. Seeing as how dresses are one of the key clothing items for Spring, stay tuned for a Part II in weeks to come.

Dress You Up! Maxi Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 09:11:22 -0700

Ok so this first model in a serious maxi dress looks like a tree, but that is the effect the longest dress of all can help one achieve. I was actually just on a hunt for a maxi dress and ended up scoring an awesome black silk Corey Lynn Calter one. I wore it to Fashion Week Live last month. I gotta tell ya, I stood out (in a good way) amongst all the legs and got several compliments. My analysis: maxi dresses are the next 'It' dress. After all, the only way to go after the mini dress is down, way down. I wore mine with some exotic flats because I am tall; if you're on the shorter side, these look retro redone with a solid pair of wood-heeled wedges.

Dress You Up! Mini Dresses

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 15:50:33 -0700

For those who have legs and know how to use them, this is your time to shine. You've been living under a rock if you didn't notice that mini dresses are hot hot hot for Spring. This week I'm all about Dress You Up! and getting you all prepared for the dress surplus of the season.

You will notice my picks are solids with details like rosettes, trim, volume and pockets. I think the classiest way to wear a mini is with dignity; keep the pattern simple and modern and let your legs work it. Just my opinion but when sporting a raised hemline, the most stylish way is to be subtly sexy. One of my mottos is: if you've got it, flaunt it. So lucky leggy gals, these are for you.

Dress You Up! Vintage Print Dresses

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:11:22 -0700

Skip your morning coffee, or tea, and opt for a fabulous vintage print dress. Yes, you could also scour vintage shops, I know that's what members of The Vintage Place!! are thinking. But that's a shopping mission and if you're not up to the challenge this Spring has lots and lots of offerings.

Same with trapeze style dresses, you can wear these with a heel or no heel; but if you want to wear it for evening I suggest a heel and some jewels as the vintage prints tend to dress down the dress (pun intended). For those bold gals out there who are all about colorful prints, have fun with these picks.

Stay tuned all week long as I'll be showing you some of the cutest dress styles right now; there will be something for everyone so...Dress You Up!.

Dress You Up! Trapeze Dresses

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 14:30:22 -0700

Just when you thought dresses couldn't get any more comfortable the trapeze dress emerges. They surfaced last Fall and are in full force for Spring, with their airy and forgiving silhouette. These are awesome for those with tummy issues and look great with a pair of metallic peep toe flats or cork-heel pumps. To wit, the trapeze can be dressed up or dressed down. And come winter time, just wear one of these with a pair of tights or over some skinnies and you'll still be styley.

Stay tuned all week long as I'll be showing you some of the cutest dress styles right now; there will be something for everyone so get ready for Dress You Up!.

Love it or Hate it: Kristen Stewart on the New Moon Tour

FabSugarUK — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:00:27 -0800

Kristen Stewart made an appearance on the New Moon tour yesterday in Los Angeles. The Twilight star looked unusually dressed up for the performance in a strapless LBD, tuxedo jacket and zip back heels. Earlier in the week, I shared Kristen's Harper's Bazaar look with you where she wore an Alexander McQueen gown. I am enjoying seeing her looking so glamorous and chic, what do you think of this ensemble?

Leighton and Olivia Step Out Confidently For Gossip Girl Style

Molly — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:30:32 -0800

Leighton Meester posed in a punchy dress with her former costar Nicole Fiscella and Olivia Palermo in NYC last night at the launch party for You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence, a book written by Gossip Girl's costume designer Eric Daman. Leighton supported the man who puts her in so many fabulous clothes, which she was once again showing off on the set yesterday with Ed Westwick and a surprising reappearing costar. She, Olivia, and Nicole all looked fantastic on the red carpet and inside the party, so maybe they learned a thing or two from the book they were out to help promote. We caught up with Eric earlier this week at the ACE Awards, where he shared a little about dressing the show's stars:

On who's most enthusiastic about their wardrobes: "Everyone goes with the flow. Blake has a little more opinions on it, because she's very body-conscious and knows what looks great on her. She's been in front of the cameras long enough to be able to say, 'This would be better if it was a half inch shorter' - which is great. It's a dream as a costume designer to have someone, who's like, 'Lets do this!'"
On dressing the guys: "The guys are pretty into it. The guys just want to look good when it comes down to it, which is pretty easy. Chuck/Ed is really into it - he really likes to look amazing and he has been one of my favorites from day one. To be able to play with menswear in the way that we do and pioneer that men get to dress better, and that it's OK to wear a bow tie and a pink shirt and not be too gay about it."
