My New Favorite Sweater Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 02:02:43 -0700

Okay, I know you're all going to scream about the price, but I had to share this beautiful Heather Karoo by Mark Eisen silver cashmere sweater dress with you. Offered by Azalea Online for $308.

It's gauzy, it's simple, it's modern and sleek, and it's cashmere! This one might just convince me to venture out in the sweater dress again.

Who Wore It Better? H&M Multicolored Sweater Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

One multicolored H&M sweater dress, two completely different ways. Rihanna opted for an eccentric version, wearing it with a Louis Vuitton fanny pack, chunky combat boots, and a chain necklace. Alternately, Katy wore her sweater dress in a womanly way, with high-heeled over-the-knee boots, a double-strap belt, and metallic bag. Both ladies ooze confidence, but this is a matter of taste - do you prefer the badass or the babe?

Surprisingly Flattering Sweater Dresses

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 11:52:14 -0800

I used to think that sweater dresses were reserved for people with bodies like Kate Moss. But lately, I've seen women of all shapes and sizes wearing them and looking great, which makes me even more excited to incorporate sweater dresses into my wardrobe. This is a really cute look with skinny jeans, textured tights, or leggings. Here are some styles at designer and non-designer prices likely to flatter almost every figure.

Trendtotting: Don't Forget Your Sweater Dress!

LilSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:00:53 -0700

Fall's just about underway so rather than reminding your lil girl to grab her sweater as she heads out the door, add a lil length and make it a warm wardrobe staple. There's not a young lady that can't pull off a snug sweater dress.

Paired with tights and boots or booties, the knit frocks make for fast, easy dressing on school mornings and keep tots looking polished and prepared for chilly weather. Available in long sleeve or short, the dresses have just enough stretch to keep babes moving and older girls groovin'.

Stripe Short Sleeve Sweater Dress - $36.50	Rugby striped cable knit sweater dress - $39.50

Designer Spotlight: MK2K

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:50:22 -0800

You may have heard of edgy clothing line MK2K - it's a celebrity favorite. Judging from its unique pieces (I love that cutout blazer, center) it's easy to see why so many swear by Michelle Kim's designs.It all started when Kim couldn't find a sweater that was functional, stylish, and inexpensive. So in August 2006, MK2K started offering contemporary knits that retail for under $200. The Fall/Winter collection is made up of all things cozy - knit wraps, vest sweaters, and wool dresses. It's effortless without losing panache.

Holiday Trendtotting: Winter Wonderland Looks

LilSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:00:46 -0800

'Tis the season for holiday pictures and functions and every mama wants her children to look fashionable and festive. If you plan on spending the holidays in an icy-cold climate your tots will need warm layers to keep them comfy by the fire and out in the sleet and snow. Winter wear can get pricey quick, so consider picking up staple items like the Kids' Aigle Pedrix Wellington boots ($60) that can be paired with socks, tights and bright colors for a family portrait. Sensible dresses, boots, jackets and sweaters can be worn into the even colder months of January and February. Here are a few of my favorite wallet-friendly and warm holiday styles (all pieces are under $60) that can be worn all Winter.

Katie Takes Suri Shopping Before Celebrating With Tom

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:00:50 -0800

Katie Holmes and Suri braved the Boston rain on Sunday to do some shopping around the city. While Katie was dressed in a warm sweater and boots, Suri wasn't letting a little water get in the way of wearing her favorite peep-toe heels. Suri stayed home that evening, though, when Tom took a break from filming Knight & Day to have dinner out with Katie. The duo is set to celebrate their three-year wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and it looks like they got a head start on the romance.

Celebaby Style: Suri Cruise Steps Out in Silver and Suede

babysugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:46 -0800

Suri Cruise is one hot tot that sets the bar when it comes to celebaby style. Her high heel wearing ways have made her the hot topic in many mommy groups of late but it was this outfit that caught my attention. A sign of a true fashionista, Suri's ensemble looks perfectly effortless. Methinks "Stylist" might make it onto the lil sass's resume faster than any other profession.

All bundled up and protected from the NYC weather, the lil lady wore silver liquid leggings and a posh set of kid-friendly Petite Maloles "Celia" purple suede flats before stepping out in the rain. While the $160 shoes may be a bit steep for most moms who know they will end up in a sandpit, they are less apt to cause a twisted ankle than a pair of pumps. Keeping the flash below, she tops it off with a simple hot pink dress and a conservative Juicy Couture sweater that screams sweet girl. And for those who worry about her ability to hold onto youth, just take a gander at her Disney princess umbrella; it doesn't look like Jasmine and Aurora are going anywhere anytime soon.

90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:30:22 -0800

This week's 90210 and Melrose Place combo don't have a ton of shocking moments, but it's obvious both shows are gearing up for major stuff to go down. (Like a drug bust, murder arrest, and Heather Locklear, for instance?!) We do, however, get some nice moments between the characters. Teddy, for one, is acting like an angel - although I can't tell if it's sincere, because I've made it a rule not to trust a guy who ties sweaters over his shoulders. And the gang from Melrose have a nice come-together moment around the pool, which I'd like to see more of.

Not that everything is warm and fuzzy. Hardly. There's still scandal to go around, so ready to decide which gave us more gossip-worthy material? Just read more.

90210 point: Navid discovers Jasper selling Adrianna drugs in her car in the school parking lot. Navid calls Adrianna to confront her, but she of course denies his accusations. Jasper also says the story isn't true and threatens Navid in a "hypothetical" way. Like, "hypothetically if I was a drug dealer, you wouldn't want to mess with me, because I know bad people." Real discreet stuff.
Melrose Place counterpoint: The blood tests from last week's discovery of Sydney's murder weapon come back - and Auggie is the guilty party. Auggie might as well be off the show already, because he is nowhere to be found, supposedly on a trip in Mexico. Ella's relieved, Riley has doubts, and Violet continues to defend him, seeing as how they slept together and she's crazy. When she told Riley that she and Auggie were "intimate" with each other, I nearly ralphed.

90210 point: Debbie is in the doghouse with Dixon. He tries to go comfort Sasha after her "miscarriage," and Debbie admits that Sasha faked the pregnancy - and that she hid the truth. Dixon's unreasonably angry with Debbie, telling her "you're not my real mom anyway." Come on, Dixon. Deb doesn't deserve that.
Melrose Place counterpoint: David sneaks over to Michael's house while he's at work and borrows Noah. He takes his little bro to a fair, but things go amiss when Noah climbs a wall and falls. David rushes him to Lauren at the hospital, and she administers treatment - but not before Michael gets wind of everything. He's understandably furious but later tells David that he's glad he cares about Noah. Could this be the start of an actual relationship between the father and son?!

90210 point: Liam is on the rampage after he tells Mr. Matthews that Jen is psycho and Ryan doesn't believe him. He takes his attitude out on Ivy, Teddy, and an entire group of surfers. Later, Liam explains his behavior, opening up to the guys (and Ivy) about his history with Jen, and the entire thing culminates in a cheesy friend speech to take Jen down, complete with a high-five. [eye roll]
Melrose Place counterpoint: Violet is back to blackmailing Michael. This time, we find out that she's wanted for a court trial for previously resisting arrest. She enlists Michael, suggesting that he find her a lawyer in return for her discretion about their one-night stand. He, in turn, threatens her back, telling her that he can make the sentencing go against her unless she erases the sex video. Which she does . . . or so it seems. I'm still not 100 percent sure that it won't pop up later, but the power play between the two of them was an episode highlight for me.

90210: With Silver's half birthday approaching, her mom decides to make up for years of missed celebrations and throw her multiple parties at once, dressing up their entire house in different themes. The whole thing seemed like a stretch - really, Teddy called his dad's set designer friend to rig up the ambiance? - but it was still nice to see her and her mom get their moment together. Unfortunately, at the end of the episode, Silver goes to wake her mom in the morning and realizes that her mom has passed away.
Melrose Place counterpoint: Whoa, whoa, whoa - Ella makes a move on Jonah that's bold even for her. It all starts when she needs him to pose as a publicist at a lunch with a hot new indie director. The director comes on to Ella, and Jonah swoops in to put off his advances by pretending to be her fiance. They share a steamy kiss to be extra-convincing, and sure enough, once the director is out of sight, Ella suggests that the two of them go to a nearby hotel, so Jonah can see what he's been missing. He angrily tosses Ella's advances by telling her he's in love with Riley. You could tell part of her feels hurt by his words - and that part of him doesn't actually mean them.

90210 point: Annie is falling hard for Jasper. Their back and forth "I love yous" were pretty sickening, and she even gets in a sting at Dixon, defending Jasper and telling Dixon he's a bad judge of character because of Sasha. But the most cringe-worthy part is Annie tells Jasper that she wants him to be her first - and they start tossing on the bed as the episode wraps. Oh, Annie - you're so gonna wish you had given it up to Ethan instead.

Melrose Place counterpoint: You saw it coming: Lauren and David finally kiss! David's actually a standup guy this episode by taking care of Noah, but his speech to Lauren about how he wants her to see the best in him was unexpected - and welcome, in my opinion. Lauren of course is hesitant due to her call girl lifestyle, which David still doesn't know about. I just hope they don't let that hold her back too long, so we can explore these two as a couple.

This is tough one to call, since neither show packed a ton of drama, relatively speaking. I'm going to go with Melrose Place though, since we find Auggie's blood on the murder weapon, Ella propositioning Jonah, and David and Lauren locking lips. But would you argue for 90210 instead? I'll agree that it did include some pretty nasty lines, and obviously Silver's storyline with her mom carries some weight.

Let me know your pick in the comments, then head over to the 90210 Superfans group in the Buzz Community to discuss the show in more detail.
