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.

Love It or Hate It? Cheryl Cole's Birthday Dress

FabSugarUK — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:00:00 -0700

Last night in London, Cheryl Cole celebrated her 26th birthday in a rather risqué mini, flesh-toned dress and a Furla bag. This body mesh style is become quite popular with the party crowd recently. Whilst some celebrities can pull it off and look fashionable, others make mesh look cheap and revealing (and not in a good way). What are your thoughts on Cheryl's badass birthday dress?

Freaky or Fabulous? Christopher Kane Gorilla Dress

FabSugarUK — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:00:36 -0700

Christopher Kane has been pushing fashion boundaries for several seasons and usually I love his designs, but this item has left me unsure.

The short dress features the graphic print of a Gorilla's (slightly scary) mouth on the top half. The bottom half is a kilt-like pleated skirt which grazes the thighs. I'm sure some girls could pull it off with a pair of killer heels for a day to party look, but what do you make of this unusual frock?

FabSugarUK — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:00:42 -0700

I love any excuse to dress up, but preparing myself for a formal event is one of my favourites. These kind of events don't come along every day (unless you're a celebrity), so make the most of them in a long flowing, maxi dress.

Do Tell: Who Do You Dress For?

DearSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:00:00 -0700

It's an ongoing debate - whether women dress to impress men or other women. According to the May issue of Glamour magazine, 83 percent of women polled said they actually dress to impress themselves! Sure, if the guy likes the outfit, that's an added bonus, but I'm curious to know if you do the same. Tell me ladies, who do you dress for?

Trend Alert: One Shoulder Dress

FabSugarUK — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:00:43 -0800

This weekend Kate Winslet cemented the place of the one shoulder dress on the fashion radar by opting for that style of Yves Saint Laurent dress for the red carpet. It's a bit of a '80s style which has recently experienced a resurgence, particularly on the party scene.

From Preen to Versace, and from maxi to mini the style is everywhere and so easy to wear. The main problem you might face is finding an appropriate bra, but with so many different styles now on offer, you're sure to find one which is discrete!

I love the subtle toga style of this Acne knot dress (pictured, £160). The waist tie and loose skirt make the shape very flattering. Also, the corsage detail on this Oasis dress (a bargain at £10!) is great for a Spring party. Dresses with tulip skirts are much more flattering than straight body con styles.
