Before unleashing the beast with your Summer flat abs... a sheer peek-a-boo look like this would be FAB & def in order for relaxing, sitting, and drinking those yummy,fruity, refreshing drinks they are serving up at the pool party!

Prada Skittles

FAB ones! We are absolutely adoring the new streamlined satchel that Prada releasing this season. This new satchel is offered in a variety of hues, including red, orange, blue, and purple. Prada has succeeded with maintaining its classic hunting bag inspired shape and rustic hardware. We def would be willing to dish out the $1595 price tag that Prada has placed on this beauty! The satchel is set for a June release date in the United States, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates. The good thing is that these colors can take you from Spring - the Fall season so you'll have plenty of time to rock it to make sure you're getting your money's worth!

All while keeping my scalp clean and conditioned.... I even have had the opportunity to test out a dry shampoo as well, not too bad, but I still prefer a good old fashion wash with shampoo and water!

Fab Spring Trend Alert: Floral Denim (for less)

Hey fab readers, by now you may have figured that I'm not the biggest fan of denim. I would much rather throw on a dress (in part due to my morning laziness). Denim just sort of bores me, however with floral denim all over the spring fashion shows I figured that it would only be a matter of time before the look trickled down (because I like many refuse to pay $400 for floral denim). I must say that the floral denim (in the right print) isn't to shabby. Teen store Delia and Asos have offered budget friendly alternatives to the trend, check out a few of my faves below. Let me know if this is a look that you will be trying out for spring or if you are more of a classic girl ;-)

FYI guys Delias currently has buy 1 pair get 1 pair 1/2 off...(so get to shopping )

The Perfect Nude Nail for 99 Cents

Fab readers as I'm sure you all know by now we love a great deal, and that goes for beauty products as well. Imagine my surprise when I came across this nude nail polish in the 99 cents store. I figured it would be worth a try since it was only a dollar and I am glad I bought it. While Ive never been the type of girl to drop $12 dollars on a bottle of nail polish like many I really don't think I will now. I absolutely adore this color and received several compliments (should have seen people's face when I told them I got it at the 99 cent store). If you are interested in the color its BC557 by L.A. Colors.

P.S.
To Make it last longer just put on a good base coat and top coat. I use Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
