Fendi Honeycomb Knit Skirt: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:22:22 -0700

I have a sweet tooth, so naturally, I was drawn to this Fendi Honeycomb Knit Skirt ($1,250). The geometric cut-outs are interesting and artistic. It also looks super cozy, but I can see myself majorly snagging this baby on my first wear. The banded, bubble-like hem is also a concern. Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

Fall Glimpse: Knit Parade

Knits always feel right fireside. Fall's knit parade keeps things interesting with new silhouettes, pops of color, and dramatic styling. Missoni, adored for its signature knits, threw this tunic on Freja (left) atop colorful layering. Duly noted. It looks nonchalant and studied — how do they do it? For something more shocking, dig Rodarte's spiderweb knits that had everyone talking. Knit me off a piece of that.

When I first laid eyes on this Diane von Furstenberg Henry Tiered Sweater Skirt ($345), it was love at first site. I am a sucker for grey, especially when it comes to cozy knits, and anything DVF. A couple days later, not so much. Such is the whirlwind that is lust. I'm over it, what are you?Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

Are You a Chunky, Cozy Sweater Girl?

Yeah, I'm all over that!

Only in the coldest of weather . . .

Nah, they make me feel kind of dorky and itchy.

Knits are huge for Fall. Stella McCartney's Knit Drawstring Bag, $1,195, posted by Gruaig_rua in the Love It or Hate It? group is covered with knit alright! It reminds me of the North Pole - especially with the polar bear embedded on it. It makes me warm just looking at it. I like the shape and pattern so I would carry it. Would you?

Trend Alert - Special Runway Edition! Revenge of the Knits

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 11:10:11 -0700

Goodie goodie gum drops. If anything will get you in the mood for drab, nippy days these will. Get ready for the revenge of the knits soon to be in shops near you. Or, you can approach this trend the old-fashioned way and put your knitting skills to work. My knits du jour? That grey Stella McCartney cardigan (left) is so very fashion forward, while that slim knit dress at Celine (right) is classic and chic. As for the red melting knit concoction at Sonia Rykiel (center), love it for show but not so much for play!
