Celebrity Style: Jennifer Connelly

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:00:22 -0800

Polka dots tend to connote whimsy, but actress Jennifer Connelly wears the print with complete maturity. She attended the Paris photocall of The Day the Earth Stood Still in a delicate polka-dot blouse, a black mini skirt, and cap-toe Lanvin platforms. She kept her accessories to a minimum, allowing her black and creme palette to speak volumes.

Who Wore It Better? Pink Polka Dot Alice + Olivia Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:00:22 -0700

It's teen week here at Fab, so get ready for bubblegum curls and polka dot Alice + Olivia dresses. This little number was worn by teeny boppers Miley Cyrus, at MTV's TRL, and Monique Coleman, at the Teen Choice Awards preparty. Funny how both girls wore fuchsia shoes with the bubble hem dress. My vote goes to Monique because she shows off the delicate neckline better; Miley's hair is distracting. Who looks cutest to you?Source and Source

Monique — She looks cute and bubbly.

Miley — I love her crazy curls!

Neither (gasp)!

Both of them look nice . . .

Fab Redux: Dot Party

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I have flashbacks to outfits in the Sex and the City movie. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just slightly odd, no? Anywho, I stumbled across this 1960's Black Silk Polka Dot Puff Dress, size small/medium ($169) and thought it was one of those dresses that could be funked up a la Carrie or prissed up for Charlotte. The big polka dots are super fun and the puffed tiered ruffle hem is probably a party to walk — no, strut — in. Many a belt can morph the look of this vintage frock. Any takers?

Etsy Find: "Black Dots" Print

I'm seeing spots, and I'm loving it. Marie M Vlasic's Black Dots ($40) print is a somewhat disorienting play on perspective and light, but in the most pleasurable way possible. Perhaps taking a cue from New York Fashion Week, Vlasic's polka dots may be trendy, but they also have universal, lasting appeal. This high quality artwork is printed on heavy Fuji Film Crystal Archive paper, and Giclee prints are also available.

Look of the Day: Work To Play

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:00:22 -0700

turquoisepassion wore this white ruffle top to work, then took off her cardigan and put on a skirt for play. Work to play done right! I love how her red polka dot sandals up the fun factor.

Unfortunately she didn't give us the details of her look so come back and tell us!

Congrats to turquoisepassion!

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:11:11 -0700

Blake Lively and I already showed you how to cover up in style, but I can't help but bring you one more unique way to get dressed for the swim scene. You're looking at a Vintage High Waisted Romper, size small/medium, that would go perfectly over your sizzling bikini. The cutout is fun and the red polka dot print gives it a splash of youth. Just don't wear it over your fabulous one-piece as that would defeat the purpose of the cutout!

The current bidding price is at $15.50 and the auction ends on Wednesday, July 9. Good luck and happy bidding!

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Jeweled Dot Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Selma Blair reminded me so much of American dancer Louise Brooks when she wore Marc Jacobs's jeweled dot dress with her short bob at the designer's Fall '08 show at New York Fashion Week. Kate Moss, on the other hand, exudes a more modern, sexy vibe in the same dress, which she just wore at a party in Germany. One can't deny that both ladies are ultra stylish, but each gives off a completely different vibe. Selma is more demure and covered up in her slightly longer dress, while Kate is freely exposing her legs by hiking up the hemline. So, whose vibe are you digging more? Flynet and Source

Selma . . . I envy her effortlessly vintage vibe.

Kate — I prefer a sexy look and she is sexy all right!

Neither — gasp!

Both of them look nice.

Fab Finger Discount: Maggy London Print Charmeuse Halter Dress

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:00:22 -0700

I revisited Givenchy's Spring '08 collection today and I'm glad I did because it sparked this post. My adoration for Riccardo Tisci's large graphic polka dots led me to do a search for wearable oversized polka-dot dresses. Alas, I discovered this Maggy London Print Charmeuse Halter Dress ($92, originally $13. What great grownup and fabulous colors! For a more unique take, I'd replace the tie belt with a dark brown leather belt.

Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:00:22 -0800

I like to give credit where credit is due, even when it involves a star that makes many fashion mistakes. Paris Hilton's Marc by Marc Jacobs dot dress she wore to MTV's TRL studios is really pretty! Go Paris for choosing black footwear instead of matchy matchy metallic. We all have good and bad fashion days, and this is definitely a good night for Paris. Oh, and if you've always wanted to pose Paris-style, here's your chance.

All wardrobes can use a bit of retro from time to time. This Betsey Johnson Lanica Sandal ($48, originally $160) will put fun back into your step. Aren't they oh so Dita? Get your hands, or rather, feet, on them before they disappear!
