Fabworthy: Forever 21 Floral Sunglass Case

Clothes aren't the only things getting floralized this Spring.

Clothes aren't the only things getting floralized this Spring. This Forever 21 Floral Sunglass Case ($6), has also jumped on the girlie trend. I figure, now that you've got your stunning shades, you'll need an equally cool case to carry them in. True, you can store them in the case they came in, but that's wouldn't be as fun, would it?! It comes in purple/green (left), and red/pink.


Wedding

Fab's Guide to Finding the Perfect Dress to Say "I Do" In

Hello, bride-to-be. I'm Fab, your personal wedding dress shopper!

Hello, bride-to-be. I'm Fab, your personal wedding dress shopper! Whether you have three months or twelve to shop for your dream dress, here is a guide to help you look your most beautiful, and keep your sanity. You be the bride and I'll be your guide . . .

First things first: determine your wedding style and budget. Close your eyes and try to picture your big day. Is the ceremony ethereal outside on a beach? Or more formal inside a formal church? Or is it something in between? You'll want a wedding gown that fits your picture. Choose something light and airy if you'll be beachside and something more lavish if you'll be in a church. If you're going the church route, remember to cover up with a shawl or bolero as you want to respect the dress code of the establishment. The most important thing is to set a budget so you don't go ga ga over a dress that's out of your price range!

CC Skye Braided Chain Leather Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

It was love at first sight when I found this CC Skye Braided Chain Leather Necklace ($200).

It was love at first sight when I found this CC Skye Braided Chain Leather Necklace ($200). I'm digging the Medusa-like braid and the color combo creates a wonderful contrast. It may look a little bulky at first, but imagine it with a flowy, peach dress and black Givenchy lace-ups. Think ballerina meets rocker babe.

Celebrity Style: Kristin Cavallari

Out on the town for another night on the LA club scene, Kristin Cavallari was channeling a laid-back '70s vibe in her loose, printed tank and Ditto wide-leg jeans.

Out on the town for another night on the LA club scene, Kristin Cavallari was channeling a laid-back '70s vibe in her loose, printed tank and Ditto wide-leg jeans. This is a fun spin on the usual sexy top and skinny jeans combo; I adore how she tucked in her shirt to show off that stylish higher rise waistline. She topped her look off with a gorgeous pair of back-to-nature leaf earrings. At this rate, she'll be competition for Lauren in more ways than one.

The line is targeted for Nicole's style admirers, i.e. teens to women in their thirties.
