Trend Alert: Lace Blouse

FabSugarUK — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:00:31 -0800

If you want to really indulge your feminine side this season then why not get yourself a lace blouse? There are so many currently available on the High Street with pretty cape sleeves.

Dare to bare by wearing your blouse over a black bra with a blazer or tuxedo jacket. Alternatively, hint at the trend with a lace panel blouse (£152). I would wear a lace top with tailored trousers for an androgynous look.

Kova & T Lace Bell Bottoms: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

OK, I love lace, I love bell bottoms, but put the two together, and you get these Kova & T Lace Bell Bottoms ($165). I've already spotted a couple of hipster gals sporting this look, but I'm still on the fence. They remind me of Cher - not in a good way - and I can't get over the whole goth vibe. On the flip side, they might look groovy with a vest and platforms - what say you?

Sneak Peek! Agent Provocateur's Autumn Superheroes

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Just in time for Halloween, Agent Provocateur has released its Autumn superhero-inspired collection of lustful lingerie complete with mesh bras, thongs, striped corsets, and silky camisoles. OK, I don't expect anyone to rock these outfits outside the house (maybe at the Exotic Erotic Ball), but behind closed doors, these pieces can add major spice in your life. I dare you to take on a persona - I'm claiming Kammelion's alien-like ensemble - and let your imagination flow. So who shall it be? Red-hot Bullet in her skimpy rhinestone playsuit and nipple armor, or Pantheria's catty two-piece? Decisions, decisions . . .

Who Wore It Better? Stella McCartney Noir Lace

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Everybody wants to get their hands on Stella McCartney's lacy goodies; she even wore her own lace creation at the Met Gala. Rumer Willis then donned McCartney's intricate lace blazer at the Sorority Row LA premiere. Rachel McAdams stepped onto the Venice Film Festival red carpet wearing the lace dress version from resort. Rumer's is a blazer, Stella's is a jumpsuit, and Rachel's is a dress, but they all share similar lacy versions. So do tell, whose Stella McCartney lace do you prefer?

Inspired: Cape Town Lace

CasaSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:30:33 -0700

This dress, which was featured at Arise Cape Town Fashion Week, is the latest creation of designer Kluk CDGT. I love the lacy details on this elegant gown, whose wispy halter strap modernizes the bell skirt.

In the same way, modern details can modernize lace in your home. For instance, this Owl and Lace Pillow ($42) may feature a similar lacy element as the Kluk CDGT dress, but its neutral background palette and poppy owl illustration makes it a great addition to a modern, young home.

Madonna Celebrates in Lots of Lace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Madonna recently celebrated her 51st birthday . . . in style? You tell me. The singer, along with her lover Jesus Luz and kids, boarded a ship in Portofino wearing her version of resortwear for a beachy vacation. Let's see what we have here: a black cardigan over a lace dress, black patent belt, a wide-rim hat, cat-eye sunnies, and overly strappy heels. What are your thoughts - does she pull it off or is she going overboard?

Trend Alert: Lacy Layers

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Just when I thought I was over lace, Sienna wears it fresh. Not only is this outfit a wonderful example of styling prowess - from the mismatching, to the layers, to the silhouettes - but it makes lacy layers look ever so lovely. If you keep the color story similar, a lace tank can add a flirty touch to a look. Sienna's is cropped, showing off her saucy leopard print Topshop pants. You too can achieve this look, just DIY crop your lacy layer. If there were ever a time to encourage experimentation, this is it.

I am an advocate of lace. It has the ability to be pretty or edgy, depending. This Lace Bangle ($10, originally $24) is a bit of both, that's why I want it. There's a whole page of other sale items like loungewear, scarves, jeans, dresses, and bags, so have at it.
