Weight Loss

Come Fab Finding With Me: Losing Weight & Dressing Great

Another fun reader request, coming your way!

Another fun reader request, coming your way! This lovely 22-year-old lady lost 20 pounds over the past three months (good for you!), and she's planning on losing another 20 pounds by the year's end. In the meanwhile, she's "swimming" in her clothes, and needs to get some new ones, especially for work!

She's from Miami and her office dress code is business casual — any type of shoe goes. At night she moonlights as a student, so she's looking for some pieces that are both stylish and professional.

I know you ladies can take care of that, so I'll start you off with this Deux Lux Perforated Foldover Bag, $68, because it's big enough to tote her things between office and school, but it's got a youthful sheen to it. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with transition phase.

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.

The Bag To Have: Coach Camilla Printed Python Hobo

Coach has never wowed me...until now!

Coach has never wowed me...until now! Check out this Coach Camilla Printed Python Hobo, $798, that Fashionhore Fab found. Thanks darling!

It's utterly luxurious in appearance but not too insane in price - and that is such a rarity in the fashion world. I adore everything about it: the rich brown hue, the grommet details, the turnlock closure and the size. And unlike so many logo-encrusted bags, it's understated, and it doesn't scream "Coach."

This Camilla bag could work wonders for you. It could instantly transform a simple all-black outfit into a sophisticated stunner and would immediately take a day look into night. Just lovely.

Prada Ombre Patent Leather Tote: Love It or Hate It?

Color gradation is sometimes cool.

Color gradation is sometimes cool. But on a purse, like this Prada Ombre Patent Leather Tote, $2,270, it looks quite tacky. I really like the shape of the purse as well as the buckled top handles, but the color theatrics aren't for me. What about you?

Thanks Dmartinxoxo for posting it in the Love It or Hate It? group!

Roberto Cavalli Reptile Hybrid Bag: Love It or Hate It?

Roberto Cavalli is known for his over-the-top designs, so it's no surprise to me that his Roberto Cavalli Reptile Hybrid Bag, (guess the price!), posted by Uacosj in the Love It or Hate It?

Roberto Cavalli is known for his over-the-top designs, so it's no surprise to me that his Roberto Cavalli Reptile Hybrid Bag, (guess the price!), posted by Uacosj in the Love It or Hate It? group, is eccentric. I don't love it, but it's not ghastly either. I wouldn't necessarily buy it for myself, but if it were given to me as a gift, I would carry it to a fancy schmancy soiree.

Babeworthy Beach Bags!

It's about that time of year when I get a serious hankering to go to the beach.

It's about that time of year when I get a serious hankering to go to the beach. I don't know about you, but Ibiza or Cancun or even Myrtle Beach is sounding really good right about now! And what could make a stay at the beach more enjoyable than a seriously cute beach bag? This week's Life and Style has a few adorable options. I especially love the coral straw bag!

Chanel Ivory Chain Handle Bag: Love It or Hate It?

Ahhh, Chanel! Thanks a million to Babyee--fashion for posting this Chanel Chain Handle Bag in the Love It or Hate It?

Ahhh, Chanel! Thanks a million to Babyee--fashion for posting this Chanel Chain Handle Bag in the Love It or Hate It? group! It's so buttery and beautiful. I love the chain handle because it's such a modern twist on the old-school Chanel chains; though it is a little out of the ordinary. Karl Lagerfeld + Chanel = match made in heaven. Do you agree?

Fab's Perfect Size Bag

Life & Style claims they've found the perfect size bag: the YSL Downtown tote, but I beg to differ.

Life & Style claims they've found the perfect size bag: the YSL Downtown tote, but I beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, the Downtown tote is definitely gorg and a really good travel bag, but we think it's too big for everyday use. What can one girl possibly store in such a gigantic purse? Notice how tiny Ashlee Simpson looks next to her red tote. She could probably hide in it if she ever wants to get away from her eyeliner-wearing boyfriend, Pete Wentz!

Dolce & Gabbana Hand-Woven Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

I am torn about this Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Hand-Woven Hobo that Lolipop89 posted in the Love It or Hate It?

I am torn about this Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Hand-Woven Hobo that Lolipop89 posted in the Love It or Hate It? group. It could potentially work with a Summery beach ensemble, but I'm not so sure it's worth paying over a $1000 for a bag I can only wear during one season. Plus, it kinda looks like a fisherman's net. What do you all think?
