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.

Congrats to Geeksy!

The Look For Less: Marc Jacobs Silk Tulip Skirt

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Tulip skirts totally remind me of Spring. After all, tulips do best in the brisk Spring weather. This look, modeled by Daiane Conterato, is from Marc Jacobs's Resort '09 collection. The bright blue tulip skirt is flirty and Fab just like the flower, but the $850 price tag is insanely steep for my wallet. It's good then that I found a cheaper skirt that has the same shape and sexy asymmetrical slit. I can now recreate this funky fresh look without going broke. Perfecto.

I am in lust with this Charlotte Russe Satin Tulip Skirt ($23); it looks identical to the MJ version, minus the crazy cost. The asymmetrical slit is the same, as are the contrast black trim and the elastic waistband. Both also have a silky sheen that makes them ultra luxurious. I can dress it up or down depending on the accompanying accessories.

March Shopping Madness! Decadent Draping

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:00:22 -0700

When I feel like channeling my inner goddess, I look for clothes with decadent draping. This ode to Grecian beauty is all about soft textiles wrapped, folded, and pleated into beautiful cuts. Take for example this Elizabeth and James Drape Skirt ($295). The smokey lilac hue and fluid swoop are simultaneously modern yet magical; the thick black banded waist adds sporty chic. Quite the perfect Spring skirt . . .

Celebrity Style: Lindsay Price

Black is back. But while most stars are turning to LBDs, Lindsay Price is doing her own thing. The actress attended the 2nd annual H.E.L.P. Malawi fundraising event in NYC in an all-black ensemble that dazzled from head to toe. I love that she paired up different fabrics - a satin tulip skirt with a rayon cocoon top. The oversized stone and chain necklace and gold sandals provide just enough variation. What a wonderful holiday party outfit!

The Look For Less: Maria Sharapova's Black Tulip Skirt

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Tennis star Maria Sharapova appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman looking quite the style maven in her black-and-white ensemble and to-die-for YSL sandals. I don't normally look to sports figures for inspiration, but I have to give credit where credit is due . . . and Maria's black tulip skirt spurred a hunt to find something equally sexy but not equally pricey.

To see the look for less, read more.

I haven't seen a more adorable tulip skirt than this Naomi Black Belted Skirt ($47) in a long while. It's a bit longer than Maria's, but that's probably a good idea considering many of us don't have her legs for days. And, I love that it has pockets!

Trend Alert: Tulip Skirts

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Designers have been playing with volume for seasons now. What was once a frightening trend has evolved into something modern and wearable. The easiest way to play with volume is with a tulip skirt. All you need to do is keep is slim or structured on top, depending on whether you want to go flirty (see Emporio Armani Fall '07 at left) or artsy, and definitely pair with some sexy booties. Tulips require heels to blossom, and your overall womanly silhouette will flourish.

Trend Alert: Tulip Skirt

FabSugarUK — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:00:47 -0700

As we see the return of separates in the fashion world this trend merges with the architectural vibe to create the tulip skirt. Pencil skirts are a wardrobe essential but tulip skirts make the look a bit edgier and are often more flattering. They feature exaggerated detail on the hips which hides a multitude of sins! The only downside is that they can be quite tight around the knees and calves leading to you walking in a strange manner! They appeared on the catwalk most notably at Lanvin but also at Paul Smith and Roland Mouret. Try Miss Selfridge or Warehouse on the High Street.

Thread Skirt - £68.51	Yoni Skirt - £80.00
Flannel Tulip Skirt - £40.00	Black Twill Tulip Pleat Skirt - £30.00
Lanvin Satin tulip skirt - £705.00	Paul Smith Black Label Black Label Dog Toothe Check Tulip Skirt - £175.19
