Fab Finding Follow Up: A Networking Happy Hour

Recently, I went to a career networking happy hour, and I had wardrobe issues when picking out my outfit the night before.

Recently, I went to a career networking happy hour, and I had wardrobe issues when picking out my outfit the night before. I wanted to wear something interesting, comfortable, and of course, fashionable - but not overly trendy. This is the sort of function that's hard to dress for so let's see what you all recommended!

I started you off with this Mint Shadow Floral Tank, on sale for $169.40 (originally $242).

I asked you all to go Fab Finding to find: a fab blazer, pants or a skirt, comfortable shoes, and a laptop bag. To see all the networking happy hour finds click here.

Fab Site

Fab Site: Shopatmilk.com

Milk still does a body good, if you ask me.

Milk still does a body good, if you ask me. The online store of this one-year-old West Hollywood boutique, is fun and colorful, with a funky collage on its welcoming home page. This shop leans towards retro-inspired clothes from such lines as Christopher Deane, Diane von Furstenberg, Luella and Sue Stemp. They also carry beauty, lingerie, swimwear, mens - AKA milkman, books, kids tees and gift items. As well, their 'coming soon' and 'must-haves' sections help you to create a mental wish list. One thing the site is missing is a list by designer - phooey! Also, they score more points with cute tops and dresses, while bottoms and shoes are eh. But right now, they have an immense sale section. Here is my mental wish list:

GEREN FORD royal blue blousey silk tank with optional matching tie, on sale for $101 (originally $202).

Eva Longoria can't hide, even behind these sunglasses.

Eva Longoria can't hide, even behind these sunglasses. She kept shaded from the sun in Beverly Hills last week sporting these hot unisex aviators. Lucky for us, they're on sale! Don't we all wish we needed sunglasses at the end of January?

Look of the Day

Look of The Day: Kate Moss, The Real Way

Last week we did a Celebrity Style: Kate Moss, and no one does chic street like this supreme style icon.

Last week we did a Celebrity Style: Kate Moss, and no one does chic street like this supreme style icon. I was pleasantly surprised to see one of you take a stab at her cool look. Check out Retro Bunny's Kate Moss, the real way interpretation. I think she looks cool and nonchalant - just like Ms. Moss. She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

She didn't list everything she was wearing so stop by and tell us where everything in your outfit is from Retro Bunny! She did mention the boots are black riding boots with a little heel.

Congrats to Retro Bunny!

Fab Fragrance

Scent Sampler Set by Aroma M

Check out this mac daddy Sampler Set by Aroma M, $40.

Check out this mac daddy Sampler Set by Aroma M, $40. These scent sticks represent the 11 Years Aroma M has been in business and the 11 Fragrances they have created over those years.

These large vials of Japanese oils and eau de parfums are individually decorated in fabulous Yuzen paper packaging reflecting each of the fragrance's key ingredients. The box itself is made from environmentally friendly raspberry paper (and from what I understand, it is made in Nepal under the Fair Trade Standards), and has a gorgeous bamboo clasp.

For those of you who want to get started on your Valentine's Day shopping early, act now! I think this is a great package to buy and then distribute one fitting scent to a friend, relative or favorite co-worker. This limited edition box set will only be available through February 14th.

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Attack of the Silver Handbags!

It has been a long time since I have seen something so bold, so much, so shiny, as the attack of the silver handbag.

It has been a long time since I have seen something so bold, so much, so shiny, as the attack of the silver handbag. I am perplexed by the myriad of handbag options in this in-your-face color. I mean really, how wearable is a big, bold silver metallic bag? So maybe tasteless heiress Paris Hilton can sport one, but can the soccer mom (no offense)? And these aren't the only ones. I have also spotted new silver bags by Furla, Michael Kors, Tod's, Bally and Lambertson Truex. So take cover - we are under attack!

Love It or Hate It

Rampage Brocade and Tulle Ballerina Dress: Love It or Hate It?

I know I said ballet-inspired looks are happening but this is ballerina overkill!

I know I said ballet-inspired looks are happening but this is ballerina overkill! This Rampage Brocade and Tulle Ballerina Dress, on sale for $71.99 (originally $129), is too froofy and too pink if you ask me. Though it may make a killer Halloween costume one day...what do you think? Love it or hate it?
