Trend Alert: Crimped Hair For Spring

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Oohee, bring on the crazy for Spring! Whilst you're always going to find girls who want to play it safe with straight, smooth or perfectly pulled back hair, next season I dare you to try something new. Put away your straightening irons and dust off your crimpers from the 1980's because wild and big is beautiful again! Check out these looks from the Mulberry, Diane von Furstenburg and Y-3 catwalks of New York's Spring 2010 Fashion Week and let me know if you think you're going to pimp the crimped look this Spring.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Dance the Day Away

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:30:08 -0700

A friend of mine is in a modern dance group and they're having their recital soon. She invited me to go, and though I'm excited to see her moves, I'm nervous about my outfit. The only other dance recital I've been to was my little cousin's ballet class. I wanted to look dance-inspired but not foolish. Thanks for all of the lovely suggestions. I'm confident that I'll fit right in with the dance crowd in one of these sweet ensembles.

I started you off with this Jennifer Ouellette Headband ($75) because it has a sweet ballet aesthetic that will make me fit in with the dancers.

Look #1, created by kendallina, is soft with a little bit of tough. The thick strap adds a modern interpretation to the girlie ballerina flat.

Look #2, created by gabitaitalia, is just plain fun. Those combat-inspired boots are unexpected and quirky.

Look #3, created by hil34, reminds me of something Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl would wear. The slouchy sweater offsets the hard pleats in the skirt. Love those shoes!

Diane von Furstenberg has launched an online art gallery, DVFProjects.com, with a behind the scene's look at the making of her Spring ad campaign. The new site features a five minute film documenting campaign model Natalia Vodianova being photographed, and then the synthesis of artist Francois-Marie Banier applying bold brushstrokes and writing to the processed photographs. It's definitely cool if you want an insider's look!

The woman we love for making us all look great in wrap dresses is about to make us look even better: Diane von Furstenberg is launching her first full shoe line. "I wanted to create power shoes for the woman on-the-go and on her feet," said DVF. "My shoes are not just pretty accessories; they are functional and serve a purpose. Women on-the-go need power, comfort, and fashion."

The initial collection features 12 looks, all with cushiony soles, including a black flat sandal, a gold strappy heel, and a Grecian wedge sandal. The shoes retail from $195-$350 and arrive mid-February at DVF stores and select department stores.

Resort 2008: Diane von Furstenberg

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:50:44 -0700

Hey DVF fans! Diane always knows how to please. With not a wrap dress in sight, and a collection consisting of cool dresses, skirt and blouse twins, and bathing suits, this Resort collection still manages to delight the senses.

From bold geometric prints to electro-washed retro florals, these designs are fit for both beach babes and city slickers. The long dress threw me off a bit - rather un DVF-like - but the modern day escape-to-Palm-Beach frocks are unabashedly DVF.

Laid back, cool and certainly chic, how I wished I'd had this turquoise bikini and funky cover up while on my recent trip to Greece!

Does Renting an Extravagance Still Satisfy?

SavvySugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:45:13 -0800

We rent apartments, cars, and DVDs, but as pop culture continues to influence our lifestyle, even couture is now available to rent. Sure we can't all afford the designer duds cropping up on couture runways from here to Paris, but as the New York Times reports, the recessionistas among us have found another way to get their hands on the coveted - and pricey - merchandise.

Modeled after the "rent-by-web" model, the new site, Rent the Runway, offers clothes from design houses like DvF, Heve Leger, and Catherine Malandrino, to name a few, for anywhere from $50 to $200 dollars for a four-night stay in your very own closet - even dry-cleaning's included in the cost of rental.The only downside, of course, is that fact, that after a couple nights of dancing in your designer number, you'll be forced to pack it up and send it right back.

It's a pretty innovative way to give us the chance - or at least, the illusion - of having it all. Still, I'm wondering does it make a difference to you if you know you don't own the item? Does renting the couture make it feel any less special or is the concept a smart way to give women a luxurious experience without the luxury price tag?
