Fab Finding Follow Up: Bowling Babe

I was recently thinking about the last time I went bowling and how I hurt myself.

I was recently thinking about the last time I went bowling and how I hurt myself. How does one manage to hurt themselves while bowling? I got excited, snapped my wrist a bit too forcefully and I was done. Oh well!

But, I was also thinking how cute of a sport bowling is. And how cute you can be while playing it, aside from those required bowling shoes! I started you off with these CITIZENS OF HUMANITY Paley Ankle Jeans, $155. To see all the bowling babe fab finds go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can be your own stylist and build outfits by creating a list of clothing items - as seen below! We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.


Look #1, found by joytothehurled is totally cute - I love the Grease 2 vibe of Miu Miu Cropped Satin Jacket.

Sienna Miller

How Would YOU Wear It? Sienna Miller

What ever happened to Sienna Miller's boho chic style?

What ever happened to Sienna Miller's boho chic style? Oh, how I miss those days! In my eyes, the actress still has an eclectic fashion sense, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes and this is one of those times for Sienna. I have a feeling her rocker boyfriend is influencing her style as of late.

First of all, I don't understand the all-black look because it just looks boring and blah - especially since it's now officially Summer! Is a touch of color too much to ask for? I don't mind Sienna's black dress and gold earrings, but the ratty jacket and army boots need to go, like NOW!

I would have worn the black dress sans tights with some chunky Cuban heel sandals and a cool, colored blazer. How would YOU wear it?

Good news for all of you Mary-Kate and Ashley fashion fans!

Good news for all of you Mary-Kate and Ashley fashion fans! Now that they have the luxury market covered with The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley have announced the launch of a new contemporary sportswear line, Elizabeth and James, coming out this Fall.

The line is named after their siblings and will include blazers, washed leather jackets, military-inspired tops, shrunken tees, oversize tees, pencil skirts, cashmere sweaters, fur jackets, and cashmere coats, all playing with a masculine/feminine theme. There will also be silk dresses and a sequined minidress inspired by one of Mary-Kate's vintage finds. The collection will be sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Intermix, with a price range of $40-$452 - making it slightly more affordable than The Row. Exciting!

Designer Spotlight: Dallin Chase

What's summer without a good summer dress?

What's summer without a good summer dress? Not much. But fret not: Dallin Chase, a label that has been getting a lot of buzz recently, is here to fulfill your summer dress needs. Jason Cauchi, the designer of Dallin Chase, is a New York City native who used to work for Calvin Klein. His dresses are light, simple, and super wearable. I love how they are girly, but at the same time are fresh enough to wear in the summer heat. They are sold at Shopbop, which is currently having a sale on Dallin Chase dresses, with the prices from $89-$313!

Fornarina Neon Slip-ons: Love It or Hate It?

I thought these Fornarina Closed-Toe Neon Slip-Ons, $52, were an apparition when I first saw them.

I thought these Fornarina Closed-Toe Neon Slip-Ons, $52, were an apparition when I first saw them. I mean, how can someone who cares about the way they look wear these part-neon, part-metallic pumps on a day other than Halloween? They are way too futuristic and cheesy in my opinion. What do you think?!

The Bag To Have

The Bag to Have: Erva Chain Quilted Box Pouchette

When it comes to handbags, every gal should own at least one LBB (little black bag)!

When it comes to handbags, every gal should own at least one LBB (little black bag)! It's necessary for nights out when you don't feel like schlepping a humongous satchel. As long as it fits your lip gloss, ID and Blackberry, you're good to go.

This Erva Chain Quilted Box Pouchette, $340, is so attention-grabbing despite its mini size. The quilting reminds me of Chanel and the (detachable) chain strap is very Marc Jacobs. Wow, what a knockout combo. And the wooden clasp and the box shape are the cherries on top. What a wonderful little bag to have!
