Fab Finding Follow Up: Cozy Cute Dormwear

Remember life living in the college dorms?

Remember life living in the college dorms? The best part of dorm life was lounging around with new found friends. There's much more fashionable dormwear now than when I was a collegiate, so I asked you to help me find them.

I started you off with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Tank ($67) because it's a pretty fun way to start layering. Let's see what you all came up with!


Look # 1, created by hil34 is as stylish as one can get in dormwear! The boyfriend cardi completes the look.

Fab Body Guide: Yummie Tummie Control

Heather Thomson, who once designed for labels like Sean John, JLO by Jennifer Lopez, and Beyonce's House of Deréon, is doing her own thing.

Heather Thomson, who once designed for labels like Sean John, JLO by Jennifer Lopez, and Beyonce's House of Deréon, is doing her own thing. Yummie Tummie may sound like a flavor of ice cream, but it's actually a collection of body shapers designed to minimize the curves that come as a result of eating too much ice cream!

"I had some big babies. With my first, I gained 65 pounds and with my second, I gained 68 pounds. Of course, I lost a lot of the weight, but my stomach just never seemed to get flat again," Thomson said. If this sounds like a predicament you're in, get yourself this Yummie Tummie Tank ($62), which comes in a slew of colors. It'll hug you in all the right places.

Fab Villian: Cruella De Vil

"Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Ve Vil, if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will."

"Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Ve Vil, if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will." Or so the song goes. But personality aside, you've got to give props to Miss De Vil's fashion choices. She really rocks the fur. And though it might not be Dalmatian friendly, it certainly is fierce. Not to mention how she's really rocking the red; her dress, gloves, and shoes are all fab, fab, fab.

No matter what you think of Cruella's view on fur, you can certainly appreciate the film that captures it all. 101 Dalmatians, Walt Disney's original classic animated film, is being released on Mar. 4 for a limited time on 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD. Not only is this the first time that this timeless film is being released from the infamous Disney Vault this decade, but it's also chock full of all-new bonus material. The fact that Cruella still looks marvelous (or bad, depending on how you look at it) is a testament to the film's everlasting endurance.

So go ahead, be bad with Cruella.

Thank you to 101 Dalmations Platinum Edition for sponsoring this post.
