Fab Finding Follow Up: Pool Par-tay!

What better excuse is there than a pool party to quench that blistering heat, ogle the pool boy (if you're lucky), and knock back a few cocktails?

What better excuse is there than a pool party to quench that blistering heat, ogle the pool boy (if you're lucky), and knock back a few cocktails? That's what my friends and I do when we are ready for some quality girl time during the summer!

In case you care to take our lead and throw your own fabulous pool party, I started you off with this chic Emilio Pucci Printed Beach Towel, $275, the better to lay out with, my dear! To see all the pool party fab finds go here.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. 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 angie_pangie is way cute: the Aussie flag bikini and Louis Vuitton Vegas bracelet paired together are sinful - in a good way!

Trend Alert: Fancy Thong Flats

I have I don't even know how many pairs of fancy thong flats.

I have I don't even know how many pairs of fancy thong flats. Once hot weather hits I get in the mood for not only flats but fancy, shiny, glittering ones! These are the perfect evening alternative when you don't feel like subjecting your feet to strain or blisters fueled by high heels. Why, I think they can even be wedding appropriate - just look at some of these sparklers.

How Would YOU Wear It? Fergie

Let me start by saying that I don't like to bash the same person over and over again, but Fergie Fergs makes it too easy.

Let me start by saying that I don't like to bash the same person over and over again, but Fergie Fergs makes it too easy. I mean, I must say something when she dresses like a teenage hipster. Nevermind the fact that she's well into adulthood!

Leaving the Metropolitan Hotel in London, she has way too much going on here. I would have ditched the hat, checkered purse, boots and sunnies (I don't see any sun!). I would have kept on the tee, vest, shorts and would have opted for some platform pumps. That would have been much more age-appropriate and cool.

How would YOU wear it?

Celebrity Style: Jessica Simpson

Jessica is looking more like her pre-divorce days lately and I like it.

Jessica is looking more like her pre-divorce days lately and I like it. She's not particularly fashion forward in her pink bubble tube dress but you can't deny that she's cute. But platform pumps with a sun dress? Flip flops would have been more appropriate. Nevertheless, I welcome back the style of Jess circa "The Newlyweds."

Simply Fab: C-String Invisible Underwear

We've all heard of G-Strings....but C-Strings?

We've all heard of G-Strings....but C-Strings? Yup! Just when we thought every kind of panty had already been invented, they come out with this C-String Invisible Underwear, $21.

Before you freak out, give me a minute to explain the photo on your right. Instead of having to deal with annoying underwear lines, this C-String provides coverage without the panty straps. You can even wear it in a tanning bed (tisk) and you won't get tan lines!

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Here's how it stays: C-String has a flexible internal frame that hugs and holds it to your body. At the front it looks like a normal sexy underwear and to the rear it has a thong-style strip.

To learn more, watch a video about the C-String.

The Look For Less: Black Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

The YSL Downtown Medium Leather Tote, $1,495, is nothing new in the world of fashion, but it's still pretty darn lust-worthy.

The YSL Downtown Medium Leather Tote, $1,495, is nothing new in the world of fashion, but it's still pretty darn lust-worthy. Besides the fact that it's a celeb must-have, it also has such a unique shape and look to it. Too bad its price tag is in the thousands...

United Nude Mobius Wedge Sandal: Love It or Hate It?

Is it me or does this United Nude Mobius High Wedge Sandal, $146, have a huge cutout in its wedge heel?

Is it me or does this United Nude Mobius High Wedge Sandal, $146, have a huge cutout in its wedge heel? Talk about out of this world! I feel like the shoe is playing tricks on my eyes. I like the metallic color but the cutout is too extreme for me. What do you all think?

Thanks Gruaig_rua for posting it in the Love It or Hate It? group.
