The Look For Less: Tibi Coral Reef Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 07:00:08 -0700

I told you you should use this Tibi Coral Reef Dress ($389) if you want to channel the mix mastering of Dries Van Noten. It's a smart choice for gals who want to get in on the floral trend without looking like an overgrown child. That's because the black background adds a dark element. But what if you don't have that much to spare on achieving the look? There's an easy fix!

As soon as I laid eyes on this Delia's Victoria Floral Dress ($45), a Look for Less lightbulb went off in my head. It has the same black background, bright florals, and thus conveys the same look. It's slightly more poufy than the Tibi version, but considering florals are fun, it only adds to the effect. Throw on a pair of funky, bright sandals and your future will look floral!

Dress Me Up: Mix Mastering

FabSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 05:00:08 -0700

Etro isn't the only one who mastered the mix for Spring. Dries Van Noten's creations came to life with colors, patterns, with artsy-cum-ethnic undertones. The loudest message from Dries' Spring line was the concept of feminine clashing. Peach fused with army green fused with purple fused with electric blue. It sounds all-over-the-place, and in a sense, it was . . . but the result was cohesive yet funky. Turn your back on matchy matchiness this Spring by drawing inspiration from Dries. One word of advice? If it makes sense together, don't wear it.

Tibi Coral Reef Blouson Sleeve Dress - $418.00	Nili Lotan Ira Jacket - $425.00
Lee Angel Jewelry Rise Carnelian Necklace - $273.00	DAVIS by Ruthie Davis Alexander Mary Jane Peep Toe Pump - $625.00

Trend Alert: Floor Grazing Dresses

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:00:11 -0800

One gal who was under the red carpet radar at the SAG awards was Entourage darling Emmanuelle Chriqui. I just love her! She's really proving to be a budding Fabionista. And this red vintage Halston just upped her ante. Last year was all about the mini and legs, I have a feeling floor grazing dresses will soon be floating about. If we can learn anything from Halston, it's that a maxi can be comfortable and glamorous at the same time.

Here's what she has on:
