Get Your Butt in Gear: Joe's Pila-T-Shop

FitSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 11:00:03 PST

If you've been reading FitSugar, you know that I am mildly obsessed with finding functional (and cute) gear. I am not always loving the straight tank and crop pants look [boring] so when I find something fun, I like to let you guys know about it.

Joe's Pila-T-Shop makes these great shirts (tanks, tees, long sleeved, etc.) that really make a statement. No seriously, they make statements like, "Flow Like Joe" or "got powerhouse?" or "Welcome to Joe's Torture Chamber". For those of you wondering who this crazy Joe is, the shirts are referring to Joe aka Joseph Pilates, the father of Pilates (not cuppa', schmoe or husband of Mary as you may have been thinking). Anyone who has done Pilates can tell you that at times the reformer may truly seem like a torture chamber. Prices range from $25-$35, depending on which style you get and they're all quite soft, making them great to wear while doing Pilates and beyond. Buy directly from Joe's Pila-T-Shop online.

Look of the Day: Pretty in Poppy

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:00:42 PDT

We have to hand it to Fab reader JustPatience - she styled up a look so cute and colorful that we almost forgot it was Fall! She wore a plain white v-neck tee tucked into a bold, poppy-hued circle skirt, then added some depth with dark patterned tights and Mary Jane platform heels. She finished up the look with a colorblock clutch and a '60s-cool floppy hat - and we love how much this packs a punch!

Congrats JustPatience!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might feature you on FabSugar!

Celebs Love Their Metallic Clutches - Shop the Look!

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 03:30:25 PDT

Just in time for the impending holiday season, we've taken note of the influx of metallic clutches on the red carpet. Case in point: Hollywood cuties Jenna Dewan, Camila Alves, and Nicole Richie were all recently spotted holding their own shimmery renditions at various red carpet events. Jenna matched her gold box clutch with an equally sparkly Edition by Georges Chakra at Elle magazine's 18th Annual Women in Hollywood tribute. Camila Alves took the vintage route and held a diminutive silver chain clutch paired with a cute polka-dot dress. Meanwhile, Nicole contrasted her metallic pewter leather clutch with a dark brown floral maxidress from Douglas Hannant. If you're looking to maximize your metallic clutch investment, we suggest you wear them with jeans, a tee, and a tweed blazer for a chic daytime look.

Check Out Loeffler Randall's Pretty Spring '12 Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:20:36 PDT

We might be in the midst of Fall weather, but that shouldn't stop you from checking out Loeffler Randall's covetable Spring '12 collection. The line shows pretty colors, cute prints, and flattering silhouettes ranging from small wedge rose-hued strappy sandals, perfect for running errands around town, to dressier printed pumps and platform styles. The best part? Designer Jessie Randall told us she created the collection with comfort in mind; most heels are around three inches tall and some even feature comfy hidden platforms in the front. Warm weather might be awhile away, but we can already picture her cute shoes with our printed dresses and rolled-cuff jeans. We dish on our favorite pairs below:

We can't wait to wear these nude polka-dot wedges with our chambray tops and floral dresses.
These bottle green pumps have the coolest texture and a comfy wooden heel.
The scuba-like detailing on these sporty-meets-chic sandals is so cute. We'd wear them with polished shorts and a slouched tee come Spring.

Now check out the rest of the collection in the slideshow!

Tracy Reese Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:16:00 PDT

It was a pocket full of posies for Tracy Reese today at her Spring runway show. Forming a juxtaposition between romance and sport, Reese created a colorful collection filled with pretty botanical prints and colors. Anorak jackets tempered feminine floral sequin tees and sweet bathing suit rompers, while peacock blue high-waist leather shorts added a modern edge to buttercup floral blouses. For dresses, Reese showed a range of styles from ruched body-con one-shoulder dresses to pretty, picnic-ready posy print dresses in a flowy flattering fit. Fluid palazzo pants and jumpsuits, lace inset maxi skirts, and our favorite, sheer striped linen dresses and skirts, further the languid, effortless tone. For extra flourish, Reese accessorized with structured statement hats from Jennifer Ouellette and even threw in a couple of throwback floral print umbrellas. So cute. More details from the show below.

Trends: Palazzo pants, anoraks, romper bathing suits, bold floral prints.

Colors: Peacock blue, pink, yellow, coral, black, khaki, pearl white.

Key Look: The sheer linen looks and the peacock blue leather shorts.

Accessories: Round color-tinted sunglasses, lace-up platform sandals, structured Jennifer Ouellette hats.

Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave color and fun prints.

Reese Witherspoon's Go-To: Wren Skirts

Hannah Weil — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:28:54 PDT

There's more than one common denominator among Reese Witherspoon's casual cute looks. Aside from the peep-toes, wedges, and knits, Wren skirts are also a constant for the sweetly styled actress. She's been spotted out and about in LA giving the brand's flouncy skirts a summery spin. At the start of the Summer, she channeled on-point seasonal style in a sunny yellow version and gray tank, then opted for a polished on-the-go vibe in a neutral-hued Wren mini. Her latest plays perfectly to high Summer with espadrilles, a beaded necklace, and a light, stripey Wren skirt to tie it all together. What we've long-loved about Reese's signature style is its casual, and still pulled-together vibe. The key is outfit versatility, and Reese's Wren minis are perfect for changing up a look by adding a cardigan, tee, or tank, and simply changing up her footwear. Want to get your own? We're loving Wren's tie-dye version ($149, originally $249), to wear now and into early Fall.

Our Favorite High-Waisted Shorts For Summer

Hannah Weil — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:05:50 PDT

After spying high-waisted shorts on the runway - see Tibi, far left, and Adam's Spring 2011 collection, and then in some of our favorite editorials including a lovely Glamour cover with Freida Pinto, we got the hint - these shorts-up-to-here are too cute to pass up. For starters, we love that a higher waist means we can get away with wearing our cropped knits and tees, while showing off our stems. And, if you prefer to keep it more covered up, high-waisted styles are ideal for tucking in your button-downs and blouses - it makes your outfit seem sharp and helps create an hourglass figure. We've narrowed it down to 10 of our favorites, so just shop our editor's picks to start styling up your own pair.
