First up, here are ten minidresses which will make you feel a million dollars!

Trend Alert: Drawstring Boots

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Just when I think we've covered every boot trend out there, a new one pops up. While doing my daily perusing on ShopStyle, I came upon an abundance of drawstring boots. This style is an ode to Captain Hook and other fashionable pirates, but with a modern twist. Notice how these sumptuous, structured Brian Atwood Matrix Boots ($1,170) illicit a casual, luxurious vibe. Aye, Mate!

Fab Finding Follow-Up: MJ Dance-Off

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I've been wanting to host a Michael Jackson dance-off for a while now. What better way to pay tribute to the iconic pop star than to gather 'round some friends and dance the night away to his hot hits? I admit, I can't do the moonwalk, but I can do a mean shuffle. I asked you to imagine a super bad ensemble for such an occasion. Were you up to the challenge?

I started you off with this Maison Michel Felt Hat ($330) because it's totally rad. Let's take a look at what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is Michael Jackson defined; the band jacket is c-ute.

See the rest.

Back to Cool: Clarissa Explains It All

Oh Clarissa, how I've missed you. With a wardrobe of overalls, Converse, chokers, polka-dots, and totes, your style was slightly grungy but girlie. I envied it all. Besides her wardrobe, I especially loved it when Sam would climb into her room through her window. It made me wish my best friend lived next door, too.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Melancholy Mood

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

HarperLeo's dark photo immediately pulled at my senses. The melancholy mood emitting from this image inspired her to create a gloomy yet glamorous creation made of nubby knits and cozy coats. I adore the tough accessories and red nail polish. Only a true style guru knows a little color can go a long way.

Trend Alert: Tasty Tulips

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:50:22 -0700

To be fair, everything Diane wears is tasty. But rarely do we see her so vibrant in mismatching colors and wearing blingy accessories. Rejoice! Here she is between shopping visits in Berlin in a tasty tulip Stella McCartney print skirt (with obi belt), yellow tee, cascading necklace, and Chanel bag. Metallic sandals appear to be both comfortable and functional. The latest crop of tulip skirts are unique and heavily draped, inspiring experimentation. Screw playing it safe, Diane never does.

Trend Alert: Yummy Yellow Footwear

FabSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Yellow always make its way back into our lives and I'm sure you can see why. It's bright, it's cheery, and is magnificent for showing off a sun-kissed tan. However, I must give credit to where it's due. Sienna Miller first caught my eye when she wore these cute yellow oxfords and since I've been dreaming yummy yellow footwear. Thanks for the tip, S!

Trend Alert: Jammin' Jellies

FabSugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Some of you might flinch at the thought of wearing jellies again but hear me out. Jammin' jellies have been revisited, revised, and reconstructed to satisfy your Summer whimsy. New styles exhibit comfy cuts, hence no more blisters, and a rainbow of colors. I'm undeniably infatuated with this Pink Givenchy Lace Up Jelly ($170). The cutouts are not only sleek, they'll also make beach frolicking a breeze. Costa Rica, here I come!

Color Me Inspired: I Love You, Man's Sunshiney Bride and Bridesmaids

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:50:22 -0700

This Spring, in the comedy I Love You, Man, we witnessed one of the happiest, liveliest colors a bridesmaid can wear. The maids in the movie wore Nanette Lepore's "Still Free" shift dresses, FYI. Appropriate for a garden, beach, or even indoor wedding (if the reception or party is outdoors), your bridesmaids will thank you. How can one stress on the big day when she's surrounded by chipper yellow best buds? I'm also an advocate of non-bridesmaids bridesmaid dresses for the supporting cast - sourcing a mid-range designer for wear-again cocktail dresses is the way to go. It's thoroughly modern and, again, your bridesmaids will be thankful. What do you think - are you as smitten with this sunshiney bride and her bridesmaids as I am?

If you're feeling me on this one, take a look at my sunshiney bridesmaid picks, and read more.
