Leggings, sequin dresses, and Uggs all come to mind for me. What are yours?!

Ashish Sequined One-Shoulder Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

If you're looking to score four trends with one dress this Ashish One-Shoulder Dress ($895) is the way to go. One-shoulder. Animal print. Sequins. Mini. Check. But, I'm tripping over the neon green hue. A little iguana-esque, no? I'd be all over it in navy. What do you think?

Who Wore It Better? Sequined Balenciaga Babydoll Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:00:22 -0700

Remember that gorgeous sequined Balenciaga babydoll dress Sienna Miller wore to the premiere of Factory Girl? Well, during my usual morning visit to PopSugar today, I caught Katie Holmes wearing the same dress seven months later! This is a tough call because both ladies are wearing black opaque tights and patent pumps - almost identical. I approve of both. Who gets your vote?

The Look For Less: Phillip Lim Recycled Zipper Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Remember when Kate Bosworth wore this Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress at the Gorgeous and Green benefit in San Francisco? Amazing. In fact, Becki Newton wore the same dress a couple months later – who wore it better? No doubt, this dress is hot, and sold out. Not that I could afford it even when it was available . . .

To see the look for less, read more.

Forever 21 finally jumped on the bandwagon a year later with this Sequin Silk Dress ($30). Given, it's not nearly as decadent as Lim's version, but the style is similar - sans zippers – and the price is right. Get 'em while they're hot!

Aqua is one of my favorite affordable brands at Bloomingdale's. It offers of-the-moment pieces that make you stand out but not go broke. They recently constructed a fabulous look book featuring 12 outfits made out of 10 must-have Aqua pieces. A two-tone animal-print dress, sequined mini skirt, cashmere cardigan, plaid shirt, and ruched leggings are all part of the mix-and-match fun. You don't want to miss this.

What to Expect on the High Street Next Spring

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:00:54 -0800

Attending catwalk shows and reporting back is always exciting, but when you see the High Street interpretations it gives you an idea of how the trends will really manifest. Yesterday, Arcadia held their Spring press day which presented the items due to hit store from January 2010. Although I can't show you any images just yet (patience is a virtue!) I wanted to tell you a bit about what to expect.

First up, I checked out Miss Selfridge which was very girly. It was divided in to two key trends; neutrals and '90s florals. There were nude shades covered in sequins for flapper style dresses with subtle jacquard floral prints and delicate feminine fabrics. These were contasted against bright, floral prints, grungey designs and '90s boho.

Next up was Topshop, which is always the most trend driven of the High Street stores. They split the Spring collection in to four key themes; body armour, la latina, meadow and techno traveller. Body armour was my favourite part with sportswear inspired designs and '90s column maxi dresses. La latina is the high Summer collection with bright fun prints, whilst meadow is a bit more subdued with soft floral prints. Finally, techno traveller will appeal to festival fans as pieces were bright, cheerful with embellishment and fringing.

Designer Spotlight: Pavon by Luz & Victoria

Shine on, you crazy diamond. That's what Pavon by Luz & Victoria's Spring/Summer '10 says. It's called Odyssey, after all. Step into the galactic world to feel the groove just in time for Halloween. Shoulders are sharp, sequins are blinding - there's no such thing as timid around here. My favorite piece is this sequin cutout zip bandage dress (left). It looks like a fusion of Herve Leger and Preen. It demands a gutsy, sexy chick to rock it. Like what you see? Peruse the online store for more funky fabulousness.

Celeb Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:35:49 -0700

Diane Kruger absolutely shined at the Inglourious Bastards premiere in NYC last night. Her silver and black sequined Miu Miu dress is short, sassy, and scrumptious. I love the textural quality and how the waistband cinches at the waist. For accessories, the German beauty adorned herself with a simple, silver pendant necklace, bangle, and black strappy sandals complete with cute red pout. Perfection if you ask me.
