Like Rebecca Bloomwood, Fab reader a1stbornunicorn has attempted to make flannel feminine. Flannelrific! Good job belting the dress, and pairing it with a khaki blazer and brown motorcycle boots. The hues in this outfit also deserve praise.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Mossimo Supply Co.
Blazer: Gasoline

Congrats to a1stbornunicorn!

Found! Mary-Kate Olsen's Steven Alan Flannel Ruffle Shirt

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:30:22 -0800

Steven Alan's Flannel Ruffle Shirt ($163) exudes a comfy and quirky vibe, hence why Mary-Kate Olsen got her hands on it and wore it while chillin' on the streets of NYC. (Natalie Portman also wore the shirt recently.) Our friends over at Rarechic are nice enough to provide a 15 percent discount on any item for FabSugar readers. Just enter Happy2008 at checkout. Side note: Doesn't MK look like Meg Ryan here? Trippy.

Trend Alert: Flannel

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:00:22 -0800

Ever since that genius sports jacket Kit made on episode three of Project Runway flannel has been on my mind. Then, I realized I don't own anything flannel. Oh wait! I have a pair of turquoise pajama pants with martinis on them. But seriously, this look from Carolina Herrera's Fall runway takes flannel to a high level of opulence. Actually, I'm feeling quite embarrassed about divulging my cheesy pajama pants to you right about now. Goodbye . . .

Definition: Neo-grunge

Neo-grunge

n. Grunge music - a style that emerged in 1991 with Nirvana's album "Nevermind" - translated into fashion. Characterized by heavy layering, natural colors and individualistic mixes of knits, flannel, tweed and uniforms.

LL's Photographed All Weekend, but Tapes Are the Trouble

PopSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:00:28 -0800

Lindsay Lohan was in a flannel Saturday as she stepped out to shop at LA's Church boutique with a friend. The girls spent a few hours inside the shop, emerging in new outfits after tweeting a thanks. LL was then off for a night on the town, and she wound up at Leonardo DiCaprio's place for an afterparty. She was out yesterday evening, when she joined another pal for dinner at Dominick's in Beverly Hills. Despite her weekend good times, there is still more drama with her father Michael to contend with after he leaked multiple tapes of her private conversations as a public bid to get her into rehab. Michael apparently tried first to sell the tapes but settled to give them for free after being paid for an interview.

Before and After: Updating a Sun Porch

CasaSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:00:23 -0700

Su Casa member PrettyLittleWorld loves her new home, but she wasn't a fan of her sun porch. She writes, "When we moved into our new home over the summer, we knew the sun porch would have to get some attention so that we could use it. The previous design was just all around unattractive, and made the porch feel a little depressing. We needed to stay within a small budget because there were bigger and more expensive things that needed doing in the rest of the house."

To see how she improved the original porch, read more.

PrettyLittleWorld used paint to improve the sun porch, which, as you well know, is one of the most dramatic and inexpensive ways to update a space. Using Winter Flannel and Quail Egg paint, the entire space looks updated and refreshed. PrettyLittleWorld also added a new, comfy porch chair for a green pop of color, and moved houseplants into the space as well. "We changed the sun porch into a space that we love to use!" she reports.

Lindsay Wants to Rock and Roll All Night, And Wear Plaid Flannel Every Day

Molly — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:35:00 -0700

Don't even try telling Lindsay Lohan that leggings are on the way out. You will have to pry those leggings out of Lohan's cold, dead hands. It's all good, but one of these outfit pieces is not like the other -- and it's the plaid flannel shirt. Whatever though, flannel (and my grandmother's sunglasses) aside the rest is hot, especially that jacket. Plus, she's obvie got herself a rejuvenating beverage so she can gear up for another night on the town. The city that never sleeps meets the starlet that pretends LA is the same way. Dangerous.

Look Book Love: Nicholas K, Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:50:22 -0700

I already own three green parka-like jackets, but there's no resisting this shorter, sherpa-lined version from Nicholas K. However, that's not the only piece worth swooning over from the Fall collection. Step into Nicholas K's world of cozy knits, structured coats, rad flannels, silky frocks, and tailored pants. These pieces are ideal for the indie city girl looking to add a little extra flavor to her repertoire. There's something about the meticulously cut jackets and grungy vibe that just exudes a carefree attitude. I can already picture Ashley or Mary-Kate Olsen rocking some of these goodies - what about you?

Designer Breast Pads: Ga Ga or Gag?

LilSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 05:00:53 -0700

Nursing bras have become sexier and more stylish through the years, so why shouldn't the items we place in them be better looking? Visit almost any drug or baby store and you are likely to find a display of boxes of white disposable nursing pads or neutral colored washable ones.

Two moms who were tired of the drab-colored pads that sat in their bras thought it was time to add some life to these breastfeeding necessities. Using their design skills, they updated the absorbent items and launched Posh Pads ($10 per pair), colorful, washable breast pads made from organic cotton flannel and bamboo.

Would you invest in these designer breast pads to stick some style inside your nursing bra?
