Fab's Spring Shoe Guide! Exotic Flats

I am sad to bring Fab's Spring Shoe Guide to a close.

I am sad to bring Fab's Spring Shoe Guide to a close. I hope I enlightened you in what fabulous, wonderful shoe options we all have this Spring. What were your favorites? Mine were wood-heeled wedges and what I'm going to show you today: exotic flats. Many argue that flats are the healthiest shoes for your feet and back but this is not always true. I have a bit of a flat sandal fetish; when it's super hot I don't have the energy for heels - unless I'm going out for a hot night in the city! Here are some exotic flats to take you away to mystical shoe lands...

Fab Finding Follow Up: Tennis Cutie

As you all know by now one of Spring's biggest trends is Get Sporty.

As you all know by now one of Spring's biggest trends is Get Sporty. I was recently flipping through a magazine and was inspired by one of Mischa's ads for Keds. I've been thinking of taking up tennis lately - there are some free courts right by my apartment - and it's time to start getting back into shape for the summer!

I asked you all to go Fab Finding for a super cute tennis outfit. It should be functional and fashionable and brownie points for throwing in some pom pom socks (love them!). To see all the tennis outfit fab finds click here. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look #1, focuses on this adidas by Stella McCartney: Tennis Dress found by Moni B, Spun Sugar and DesignRchic. Fit is also a fan!. This outfit was built by Spun Sugar

The Look for Less: Not One, But Two Fab Designer Dresses!

We can all thank JessNess for this double whammy Look for Less!

We can all thank JessNess for this double whammy Look for Less! She alerted me to the fact that Steve Madden, who already produces cute, affordable shoes, is now making dresses. What a smart move, with dresses being one of the key clothing items for Spring. Not only are these dresses super cute, they are attainable with price tags ranging from $148 - $182. A couple of JessNess's faves looked familiar to me...because they were pretty darn close to a couple designer dresses by Derek Lam & Gucci. Check out this double whammy Look for Less! Thanks again JessNess!

L: Derek Lam, S/S 2007
R: Steve Madden, $174
Thanks a lot JessNess, I may have to buy this right now!

Come Fab Finding With Me: A (Long) Day at the Museum

As much as I enjoy art and museums, a day at the museum can turn into a long day on your feet.

As much as I enjoy art and museums, a day at the museum can turn into a long day on your feet. And for some strange reason, I always get sleepy after a day of admiring masterful works of art - ready for a nap filled with dreams of Thiebaud and Dali! Don't even get me started on museum gift shops! They are wonderful too. Let's all go Fab Finding for a comfortable, but artsy outfit for a long day at the museum. Think Marni eclectic meets GAP comfort. I'm going to start you off with this Stella McCartney Metallic coated canvas bag, $825. I for one like to be hands free while absorbing myself in art, and the gunmetal color of this is modern and chic.

Let's go Fab Finding for an eclectic comfy outfit. I'll probably need a pair of flats or mini wedges so my feet and back aren't killing me by the end of the day. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with museum.

Powdered Lip Color

New! Powerful Powdered Lip Color

These new revolutionary lip powders glide on like a lipstick, yet they come packaged in the form of a powder.

These new revolutionary lip powders glide on like a lipstick, yet they come packaged in the form of a powder. Just swipe a lip brush across one or all four colors to create a smooth, velvety finish. I was definitely wary at first, but after trying them, they actually feel very cool on your lips. I can't wait to hear what you think.

Laura Mercier Evolution of Colour for Lips, $28, is four different moist powders (if you can believe that!) in one chic palette. The premise behind the palette is to make your makeup transition from day to night super easy!

The lip powders are made from: castor seed oil and vitamins E and C to moisturize your lips and ensure they are long lasting. They also won't cake or feather in the corners of the mouth (ew) and they all come with a mini lip brush and mirror inside the compact. I've tried the rosebud palette and I'm hooked! Available in five different color spectrums.
