Fab Finds

Oooh, this is going to be a fun one! Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I know a lot of you will be shopping this weekend for a fantastic outfit to wear Wednesday night. So, help me put one together - I'll live vicariously through all of you! But I have one restriction: no RED allowed, except for the red lipstick I'm providing. Yes, you heard me. I think there are several other sexy colors one can wear that communicate romance: black, purple, pink and white are some examples. I'll start you off with my newest favorite red lipstick Giorgio Armani matte silk lipstick #11, $25. Number 11 is also my lucky number (maybe I'll end up getting lucky after all)!

Let's all go Fab Finding to put together a gorgeous Valentine's Day outfit; have fun finding sexy pieces but remember: no red allowed! Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Valentine's Day. To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.

Last week a reader wrote me saying she bought these fierce Betsey Johnson Avril beaded peep toe pumps, $229.99, and needed help putting together a 'retro glam' outfit. She is heading to Miami for a wild escape with the girls in a couple of weeks. I said: think Studio 54 meets David Bowie.

I asked you all to go Fab Finding to put together a 'retro glam' outfit. A couple of you thought this was a challenging one - good! - so let's see what you all came up with. To see all the retro glam finds click here.

There was a flurry of Fab Finding this week, most of it on the more formal side. Between the hunt for company cocktail party attire on Friday to Peepshow's request for formalwear ideas, Fab Finds were dominated by floor-length gowns, jeweled clutches, and sparkly shoes.

The Fab Finder of the Week honor goes to WhiplashGirlchild, who found not one but two company cocktail party ensembles, as well as a ton of formal options. Here's a look at what she and TeamSugar's other Fab Finders found this week.

I love this ensemble that WhiplashGirlchild put together for the office cocktail party.

Banana Republic Pleat-Front Turtleneck, $38, available here.

French Connection Serpent Skirt, $168, available here.

Jalda Buckle Patent Clutch, $240, available here.
