The Crossbody

Hola fab readers, hope the week is going all types of fabulous for you. While browsing my closet I noticed that I have a gazillion pairs of shoes and no handbags. Before you let me have it, let me explain, very rarely do I ever carry more than my wallet, lip gloss, cell phone and keys on me ( and when you have a track star two year old you need both hands free at all times). Therefore I never really felt a need for them until recently going out and I didn't have a bag that worked with my clothes. After browsing the internet and seeing this super cute picture of Solange from the grammy's I have decided on the cross body, I have enough room my things, my hands are free, and they are super cute. Check out a few of my faves below all available from Forever 21.

Fab Song of the Week Ms.Brown- Wonderland

How was your weekend fab readers? Ours was great...we opted not to post on the Academy Awards because everyone else was (and we weren't that impressed with the fashion). The song for this week comes from Ms. Brown (formally Chinky Brown) we love her voice and think that her style is pretty dope. Check out the video below.

Proenza Schouler Saves Fashion Week

So fab readers we had not been to impressed with the collections from New York Fashion Week but that has all changed with the Proenza Schouler Fall 2009 collection. We loved every piece ...it is young, fresh, sexy and edgy without being over the top. GORGE GORGE GORGE ...we told you that was our word for 2009 lol. Check out a few of our faves below and click here to see the entire collection.

Alice + Olivia for Payless

So fab readers while doing our weekly check of websites we ran across these fabulous 4.5" Alice + Olivia Pierce Sling Wedge from Payless. The color is fun and the heel is functional with a 1" platform. These are perfect for a night of bar hopping dressed in all black...we can see it now. All we can say is GORGE...these are getting added to the collection very soon. Check them out below and let us know what you think...by the way Payless has B.O.G.O going on so shop quick.

Fab Song of the Week- Welcome to Heartbreak

So we know that by now you all know that we are avid Kanye West supporters...we even justified his haircut, now that's a true fan (lol). We have to admit that the video for Welcome to Heartbreak is one of the most visually pleasing videos we have ever seen. We literally watched the video 5 times in a row with our eyes glued on the screen like a five year old watching Thomas the Train. Check it out below.

Shoe of the Week: Wild Pair- Crank it Up

Hello fab readers we hope that you all had a fabulous Valentine's weekend. As soon as we saw this pair of shoes we foamed at the mouth we wanted them so bad. This pair of shoes are our latest obsession by Wild Pair called Crank it Up available at Bakers Shoes for $89.99.If you haven't figured out by now we have a fetish for shoes with ankle details and most of the shoes in our closets are love them or hate them shoes...clearly we love them. While we are in love with everything from the color to the style of the shoe it is so unique that we are going to hold off on these because of the price, we have a feeling that the price is going to drop again before they get rid of them. Check them out and let us know what you think because we think that the shoes are GORGE!!!

A while ago we declared our obsession for the Christian Louboutin Forever Tina Fringe Boot and finally someone has knocked it off. While we were browsing Arden B's website we came across their mid-calf fringe boot. Sure comparing Christian Louboutin and Arden B is like comparing apples and oranges but for the price of $103.60 the Arden B boots fit the bill. Check out the two shoes below and tell us what you think?

Hey fab readers while checking out French Connection online today I ran across a dress that will sparkle on Valentine's Day ....and any other day for that matter. This alix abacus shift dress sparkles for the great price of $69.00 from $248.00.

Forever 21 Sequin Soiree Dress $19.99

Fab Song: Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation

Sorry we are late with the fab song of the week but were super busy today. We figured that why not give you a classic like Rhythm Nation ...we are still trying to learn the routine. Enjoy!!

Home Decor on a Budget: Easy-Walls Wallpaper

While we were at home in Chicago over the holiday's we were watching Oprah when Nate swore the greatness of a wallpaper called Easy-Walls. The great thing about this wall paper is that it is pre-pasted easy on paper and when you take it off it doesn't mess up the walls. That makes this wall paper great if you live in an apartment like I do. I've been doing research on the company for a while because I have been in my apartment for over 2 years and still have white walls...did I mention how much I hate white walls! While I would love to paint my apartment the reality is I have never painted a day in my life. So I think I have found a few selections in the open spaces collection that might fit the bill. Did I mention that it is affordable at $18.00 a roll. Check out a few styles below ...(Whenever I put it up I will post pictures)

Beauty Budget: Wet and Wild Glassy Gloss

So for some reason I couldn't find any of my lip gloss this past weekend and was running late for a meeting...as usual, so I ran in Rite-Aid looking for some gloss (that was on sale) and decided on Wet and Wild Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Mocha Glaze #312 and OMG I love it. I wish I would have bought more since it was on sale for $1.00. I swear every time I wear it I get tons of compliments and people asking what I'm wearing. It's only fair that I share it with all of you fab readers. Pick up one from your local drugstore for regular price $2.99.

Have a Fabulously Chic and Cheap day

A Fab Find: Karla's Closet

So fab readers while we were perusing the Internet today we stumbled upon a great blog called Karla's Closet. We love this blog, her style screams GORGE!!! (yeah we are bringing the word back in 2009). While she may not be a totally budget chic shopper she knows how to mix highs and lows perfectly to keep you guessing the price. Check out the blog here when you get a chance...but don't blame us if you're on it all day it's super addictive :)

Valentine's Day Looks for Less

Forever 21: Caryn Satin Dress $27.80

With Valentine's Day right around the corner we know that many of you fab readers are getting your looks together for that special evening. We know that it's a recession going (trust we are feeling it too), so it's time to be resourceful and look Fabulously Chic, therefore we have decided to focus on getting you fly on a budget between today and Valentine's day. Check out the first item we have deemed worthy for a night out with that special someone. The color is great, the silhouette is universally flattering, the beading at the neckline means that you won't need a necklace and most importantly it's only $27.80 at Forever 21.

McQ by Alexander McQueen for Target

We hear the angels singing our names today fab readers. After checking out Nylon Magazine this month we have had the chance to see the first McQ by Alexander McQueen and we adore the line. Often times when designers pair with Target we receive a watered down version of the line of clothing that can be bought anywhere but this time we think McQueen got it right. McQueen designed this collection around his muse Leila Moss the lead singer of the Duke Spirit so it's very edgy, rock and roll ....well as edgy as you can get when designing for the masses. Check out a few of our fave looks from the collection. Click here to view the full collection.
