Mine is for colourblocking, piping, houndstooth, and sapphire blue.</p> <p>Can we call it a Saccharine Eye when one of those factors leads you to purchasing an item that is otherwise unsuitable?

Sugar/sweet eye is great too!</p> <p>I'm a sucker for anything with polka dots, matchy matchy patterns, black/white/red, turquoise/yellow, animal prints with actual animals as the print (like my owl and bee blouses), orange or cherry (both colors and fruits) and burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788847 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:08:32 +0000 Jewell 788847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun question! I have a sweet/sugar eye for dark hair, polka dots, herringbone, fedoras, shades of pink, and maxi dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788361 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:00:02 +0000 rachylou 788361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sugar eye has that surefire cadence. Def. needs to be submitted to the urban dictionary!</p> <p>I think though I might take it all the way to irrationality and must tell y'all I might have <em>magpie</em> eye. For puffies, patent leather shoes, tissue tees, and cap sleeves. I make a beeline straight for these things, and if I just happen to come by one of these things that I feel is particularly good, I will snatch it up to "save for later." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788297 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:01:38 +0000 catgirl 788297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nadya, thanks! I am thrilled to contribute anything to the YLF lexicon that you all choose to embrace. My brother has several entries in the Urban Dictionary, mostly our own family words that we've made up. It's a genetic quirk.</p> <p>Sugar eye came to mind because it's like a sweet tooth, which I know some call a sugar tooth. </p> <p>Mine are for anything cropped, boots, the color grey, hardware, chunky oxfords, slouchy pants, menswear styles, and leather. I'm sure there are PLENTY MORE. Whatever Allsaints is, or Rick Owens, or Helmut Lang, or any of those, but with my magpie Indian self thrown in there for color and bling now and then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788288 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:31:16 +0000 Anonymous 788288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sugar eye is drawn to:<br /> colors: turquoise, coral, navy, silvery grey<br /> prints: stripes, black &amp; white, oriental motifs<br /> Hair: bobs, either smooth or curly with some geometrics<br /> jean jackets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788281 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:23:47 +0000 Anonymous 788281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the term "sugar eye" as it is faster to type and easier to spell, lol! I have a sugar eye for turquoise, so much that I sometimes can't tell if it doesn't suit someone. I think it looks good on everybody because of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788150 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:23:00 +0000 Atlantia 788150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sugar Eye! Love it.</p> <p>My sugar eye is anything steampunk or goth. Thank you, Pinterest, for helping me make the addiction even worse. I also love indigo and plum colored hair.<br /> And men in oxfords with no socks. I don't know what that's about.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788146 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:15:21 +0000 unfrumped 788146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Approving eye; sometime addicted eye!

I have a penchant for sleek shoes with heels and tall slim boots and white shirts or sweaters. Sadly my feet (and lifestyle) aren't too sweet on them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788123 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:40:17 +0000 Debora 788123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nadya, I love both "delicious eye" and " sugar eye" ! Thanks for starting this post.</p> <p> Una, I believe that you were the creator of the YLF term "poison eye", correct? And now you've come up with "sugar eye"!</p> <p>I think we should send both your entries to the the Oxford English Dictionary. They are constantly adding new words that crop up in the English language. A most recent addition in June 2012 was "supercool".</p> <p>supercool, adj. and n.</p> <p> 2. slang (orig. and chiefly U.S.). Very cool (cool adj. 8); (of a thing) extremely attractive, impressive, stylish, etc.; (of a person) very composed, calm, fashionable, or sophisticated.</p> <p><a href="http://www.oed.com/help/updates/pimesic-pleating.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oed.com/help/update.....ating.html</a></p> <p>Yup, supercool - that would describe you ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788115 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:18:16 +0000 Mander 788115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the "sugar eye" is for things we are drawn to but don't really work for our figures, lifestyle, or budget, then I would say leather jeans, oversized sweaters, high-ish heels, nerd glasses, super tailored tweedy suits, elegantly tied square silk scarves (somehow I always look like a bank teller in this look), slouchy trousers, and hats.</p> <p>In general I am always attracted to black and white patterns, red, turquoise, and grey; biker style jackets and boots, big bags, tweed, and trench coats. Hmm, maybe my aspirational style should be thought of as "rocker classic"? But not "classic rocker" -- that conjures up images of tie-dye, patchwork, cargo shorts and Tevas regardless of the amount of snow on the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-788089 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 05:43:30 +0000 Nadya 788089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magnetic eye is how it feels sometimes! </p> <p>Inge - How could I forget white button down shirts? My BFF and I have a total fixation on them and keep buying them. Carolina Herrara is my idol.</p> <p>Janet - I love a dramatic cuff, too. And French cuffs!</p> <p>Fun reading what we have sugar/magnetic/delish eyes for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787797 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:28:59 +0000 Janet 787797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! A sweet eye? Here are some things guaranteed to attract my eye...</p> <p>- leather jackets<br /> - moto jackets<br /> - long sleeve shirts with fitted dramatic cuffs at the wrist -- I don't know why, maybe because it highlights a slender wrist? -- but I wish the style would have a revival<br /> - French cuffs<br /> - long, not cropped, pants with PPL near the ground<br /> - vibrant blues and greens<br /> - photographic prints<br /> - graphic patterns<br /> - houndstooth<br /> - gunmetal<br /> - cool boots<br /> - silk, especially in shirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787776 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:46:53 +0000 Raisin 787776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahahaha! I love delicious eye or sugar eye!</p> <p>Some of mine: striped tops, menswear looks, super short pixie cuts (I think because I know I can't pull one off), shades of blue and grey, tall, flat leather boots, minimal makeup with perfect skin, fitted blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787771 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:42:58 +0000 RoseandJoan 787771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delicious eye, sugar eye...how about a magnetic eye?</p> <p>I have a love for greyed versions of blue and purple.<br /> Brown footwear.<br /> Floral patterns on an ink blue,white or black background.<br /> Subtle hardware.<br /> V necked sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787769 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:39:16 +0000 Inge 787769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five to Angie, I started pinning on Pinterest just to keep track of all my sugar eye items and looks:-)</p> <p>A few examples: white button-down shirts, leather jackets, the colours green, blue and purple, minimalist looks, androgynous and punk elements... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787767 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:36:03 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 787767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sugar eye:<br /> Colors: cobalt and periwinkle<br /> Prints: stripes, dots, reptile, leopard<br /> Hair: me too on the short hairstyles<br /> Outerwear: trench coats and capes<br /> Cropped jackets and sweaters<br /> And I'm sure there is much, much more... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787760 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:32:57 +0000 Amy 787760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Artfully done contrast top-stitching appeals to my "sugar eye." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787758 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:26:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 787758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antidote eye?

I have a HUGE sugar eye for that carelessly elegant look that Ines de la Fressange has when she tosses on a perfect trench over her striped top and impeccable jeans. I want it so badly that I keep trying on beige trench coats that make me look like a bag of potatoes with a string tied around the middle--and with a corpse-like complexion to boot. My delicious eye also includes the creamy perfection of Angie's cabled sweater and gold pants on today's post. That outfit would look awful on me, but I want it--badly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787723 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:46:43 +0000 Angie 787723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like delicious eye!

A sugar eye? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-opposite-of-a-poison-eye#post-787710 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:32:05 +0000 Nadya 787710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the YLF term "poison eye" to refer to something that we have a predisposition (perhaps irrational) against. But I've also realized that I have the opposite of that for some things - a "delicious eye?" I realized this on some of the recent threads about haircuts - I have nothing against long hair, put will always prefer short hair on someone, given the choice. (And it's all about finding out the right "short" for you!) So I sat out those threads, realizing my bias.</p> <p>I also have a delicious eye for anything with cherry blossoms, bags or shoes with straps and buckles, the color turquoise, and charm bracelets. </p> <p>OK YLF - Do we have a better term for the opposite of a poison eye? What are you drawn to, no matter what? </p>
