Fab Chica On a Budget: Amber Rose

Hey fab readers, we ran across a pretty fab picture of Amber Rose last week and immediately went on the hunt  a budget friendly version of her dress. After searching high and low we were able to find out who made her dress that is perfect for summer nights and the best part is that the dress is definitely a fab find in the cost department. Amber's dress, which was made by Pavon by Luz and Victoria is only $62.00 (yes you read correctly) and to top it off they are currently running a buy one tube dress get one free!!! Amber shows what we've known all along..that you don't have to break the bank to look fabulous! We have a feeling that we will be seeing her in more fabulously chic and cheap outfits especially since Kanye is gone.  Click here to shop.

Birthday Look #1 ....And the Survey Says

Hey fab readers with a  birthday fast approaching and no clue what to do I am completely stuck! While doing my daily online window shopping I came across this blue Jill Stuart dress that I absolutely love, however since I put my self on a shopping freeze the only way to justify it was for a birthday outfit *wink*. I mean how could I possibly not partake in this fabulous find...It's on sale for only $82.90!!!!! Let me know what you think of the look because I think it's screaming a fabulous birthday dinner.

The Highs and Lows: YSL Pump vs. Alloy Parker Wedge

Fab readers we hope that you had a fabulous fourth of July!!!! We sure did, and had to double up the workout to make up for it ;-) 

For this edition of the Highs and Lows We have the YSL Pumps that we have been obsessed with over the past year. These shoes are so sleek, sexy and modern, they feature a pointed toe and a modified wedge (which makes the shoe really stand out). The YSL Pump has a 5 1/2"  heel with a 1 1/2" platform, which means it really only feels like a 4" heel. The pump which cost $795 is sold out everywhere so if you're loving the shoe as much as we are...we recommend ebay (where we found a few pairs but not in our size).

However, for those of us that are on budgets but still fabulous none the less Alloy had provided a GORGE knockoff by the name of  the Parker Wedge...it was love at first sight...literally!!! The Parker Wedge features the same pointed toe and modified wedge as the YSL Pumps and features a 5" heel with 1" platform. The Parker wedge is available in black, forest green and a heather gray (all suede), and the best part is they are only $32.90!!! (Yes that was our expression as well, so stop reading and start buying we have the forest green in our carts, which is perfect for fall). Click here to shop

Here is a quick outfit post from work. Have a fab day!!

Just a Dress

Hey fab readers here is a quick outfit post from work the other day. Yep, so I was clearly out the dress code and had to keep a scarf over my legs like I was in church but it was super hot outside. Nothing fancy just a dress and my fave boots (again)...have a fab day!!!!

Lighten Up a Bit

Here is a quick outfit from what I wore to work yesterday, nothing fancy since I could not stop hitting the snooze button. Oh, by the way I lightened my hair since summer is officially here, what do you think fab readers (Im still getting used to it).

Wearing

Shirt: Forever 21

Shorts: Thrifted

Shoes: Max Studio-Bloomingdales

The Highs and Lows: Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass Pumps vs Dollhouse Tano Pumps

Fab readers there are very few shoes that stop us in our tracks but it was love at first site with the Bridget Strass pump (I literally think my heart skipped a beat). As soon as I put it on my foot I was prepared to go without food to add this shoe to my collection...well, that was until I saw the price was $3,325. Then reality came rearing its ugly head and the sales associate carried away my dream shoe.

I thought the shoe was out of my life forever until I stumbled across the Dollhouse Tano Pump. Whie its not an exact knockoff you can definately see where they got their inspiration from. The Tano shoe is definately a statement shoe that makes a statement with any outfit. The most fabulous part is that it is only $49.98..so with that said, stop reading and start shopping before they are all gone..click here to buy.

Fab Song of the Week: Beyonce "Why Dont You Love Me"

Gray Sky and Gray Tights

Yep so I completely wasted my morning today and got dressed and out the door in 30 minutes (so clearly nothing fancy today). I had intentions on wearing a dress but once I realized that the sun wasn't shining I lost momentum and opted for a pair of cord shorts instead. I love when the weather is cool enough for layers..and I wore plenty of them today. Have a fab weekend lovelies!!

Bows on my Toes

Hey fab readers we know that it has been a while since an outfit post but so much has been going on in recently that life has been a whirlwind and to top it off I lost my camera charger!! Well no worries the charger has been found and the pictures shall resume my lovelies :-)

With it being such a beautiful day I decided to wear a lightweight sweater/dress to work and paired with a pair of my fave leggings (that literally look great with everything) that I scored from Bloomingdale's at a insanely low price!! I got so many complements on my shoes today that I have had for over a year and never worn...and the best part is that I got them for Charlotte Russe for like $20..I know I know that's the same thing I thought when I saw them!

The Highs and Lows: Miu Miu vs. Forever 21

Fab readers we absolutely love the Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals. These sandals are as sexy as they come, featuring a sexy cutout weave that is perfect for day or night. Imagine how cute these shoes would look a pair of ruffled socks (pure perfection!!!) The only thing not sexy about these shoes is the price tag...talk about a reality check at $750.00 these shoes are not for the faint of heart or broke of pocket.

This is the reason we love Forever 21, if you wait long enough they will knock it off for you at a fraction of the fraction of the cost!!! Forever 21 has done an exceptional job of "channeling" the Forma Cutout by introducing the Posh Stiletto heel. The Posh Heel features an all over velvet covering with a mesh cutout style similar to the Forma Cutout. While we admit it's not an exact replica for $20.80 we are not complaining.

BTW if you dont mind spending a little bit more Aldo has an excellent Forma for $100...click here to view

Boredom 101

What do you do when you have to be at work at 6:00 am and there is nothing to do?? You give up?!.....when the boss leaves out you take pictures in front of the mirror!!! That's how I spent my morning/afternoon...bored out of my mind (and perfecting my diddy stroll down the hallway).

Sorry for the crappy lighting, I swear I thought it was lighter than this when I took them, however I was rushing (oh well). Nothing fancy here today, except for I wore one of my fave shirts ever!!! I have had it for over three years and has been worn pre, during, and post pregnancy (talk about getting a bang for your buck!!).

Wearing Skirt-Forever 21, Shirt -somewhere downtown LA, Tights-Givenchy, Shoes-Steve Madden

Fab Song of the Week: Rihanna: Rude Boy

Let us just say how much we love this song and the video!!! It is giving us life right now.

Mixing and Matching

          Sometimes you have to shake things up a little bit and do some mixing and matching to make a look work for you. A couple of weeks ago I decided to do just that and contemporize my conservative look by just adding a couple things to spice things up a bit. The ISAAC MIZRAHI for Target dress was purchased on clearance for $12.99. I matched that with some accessories (Micheal Kors watch $495.00, silver and pearl necklace $19.99) and Dolce Vita Jayden peep toe ankle boots $198.00. It's so important for people to mix the high's and the low's. You dont always have to pay top dollar for every outfit you wear but if you take your inexpensive pieces and mix them with some higher quality pieces often times.... It's a MATCH!

  

                                                                                 

Viva Las Vegas!

Hey FAB readers!!!!! What a weekend we just had in Viva Las Vegas!!!!! OMG, talk about FAB times with FAB people all around. While in Vegas, we had the opportunity to check out "The City" and stay at the new Posh ARIA Hotel. This hotel will knock your socks off! No need to leave "The City" grounds, as everything that you will ever need on your trip is on the property. Who cares what the rest of the strip has going on when you have a hotel room that is 2nd to none, gambling, FAB eateries, lounges, clubs, CHIC shopping at the classy Crystals shopping center, theatres, and everything else you will need right there in "The City." The hotel has a contemporary swag and the rooms are very much in the forefront of technology! As we walked into our room the TV automatically turned on, the curtains automatically opened, the clock/remote had my name displayed and the power of the room was at my fingertips from that moment on.... Not to mention the relaxation that is the restrooms in ARIA (posh, posh, posh) and a bed with a mattress that even beats the Westin (which was our FAV mattress prior our Vegas vacay this week). Now I know what you are thinking, if all of this is going on, I know it's gonna cost.... Well hold on to your seat belts. Since this is the first month of the opening of ARIA, they do have some nice deals going on with advance planning but if you have it to spend and don't need the bargain rate, then make ARIA your Hotel of choice for your last minute vacay, as we did. It is WELL worth the expense!

 

Fab Song of the Week: Richard Ashcroft Are You Ready

Fab readers we have an awesome new video to bring you. Richard Ashcroft, formally of The Verve (you guys know the awesomeness of Bittersweet Symphony). Well, it seems as though he has done it again with his epic new single 'Are You Ready?' This song is so HOT till it is on fire!!!! We can so see this song being the next big song to be used for Olympic Games or The World Cup, or anything that is MAJOR. The song is full of life and has us ready to hear the rest of the album and what Mr. Richard Ashcroft has up his sleeve. 'Are You Ready' was Produced by NO ID (you know the genius behind Death of Autotune, Run This Town, and numerous other hits. No ID and his Production Camp put it down with this one. We are also thinking that this is a good look for the No ID and his Production Camp to show everyone that he has no limits to his creativity and can heat up the Hip Hop as well as the Rock/Pop charts! We have heard that No ID and his Camp produced Ashcroft's whole album so we will be waiting hear what Richard has to share with us. We love it! Hope all you do too!
