New OPI Burlesque Collection!


I have to have my fingers and toes painted at all times, so I am always looking out for new trends and fun color polishes to add to my collection. OPI has teamed up with another movie to create a nail polish collection, as they previously have with Shrek and Alice in Wonderland. OPI's newest collection was inspired by the upcoming movie Burlesque
My favorite type of polish is definitely OPI- they have every color polish you could ever dream of and are always coming out with new and fun collections. OPI polishes are of exceptional quality (this is almost always the polish they use in nail salons). You get a wonderfully long staying power out of these polishes (especially when using a base and top coat); They stay perfect for quite some time without chipping.
Above are all of the colors that will be in the collection- the OPI Burlesque collection is available in two groups, to separate the shimmers from the glitters. 
The sparkle collection is as follows:
Bring On The Bling - A fun glittering gold
Glow Up Already! – Sparkle green
Extra-va-vaganza! – A bold orange glitter
Simmer & Shimmer –Blue glitter
Show It & Glow It! – Gorgeous purple/fuchsia glitter
Sparkle-icious - Multi-color glitter fabulousness



The shimmer collection is as follows:
Rising Star – Lustrous glimmering gold
Take the Stage – A warm orange spotlight shimmer
The Show Must Go On! – A deep pink shimmer  with hints of gold
Let Me Entertain You – Shining fuchsia glimme
Ali's Big Break – A glowing red shimmer
Tease-y Does It –Stunning burgundy shimmer

I am beyond obsessed with the colors Rising Star, The Show Must Go On! and Take the Stage. I can't wait to purchase them when the collection comes out at the beginning of November! What do you think? Will you be purchasing any colors from OPI's new Burlesque collection?

Verdict= FABULOUS! (5/5 stars!)

Kardashians by bebe

I am a die-hard Kim Kardashian fan, and I admire her in so many ways- she is beyond gorgeous, always glamorous, put together and super stylish. I especially admire her as a business woman- She is always out creating/lending her name to new business ventures, such as her perfume line or creating ShoeDazzle (Fab-YOU-lous: Shoedazzle- Monthly Shoe Society). She has recently started lending her name to many fashion oriented ventures, such as the Kardashians by bebe line
I wanted to do an overview of two of my favorites looks from their third Kardashians by bebe line that recently hit bebe stores.
I am obsessed with this entire look from the Kardashians by bebe line (as seen above)! This look features the Reverse Seam Jersey Dress, the Leather Moto Jacket, and the Mari Leather Lace-Up Bootie. This look is so edgy yet feminine and sexy- I love it! 
This next look is of course my other favorite look from the line- Obviously because of the AMAZING sparkles (and we all know how I LOVE my sparkles)! This Sequin Long Sleeve Dress is perfection, and when paired with the stunning Alexandra Leather Caged Bootie this look is unstoppable. 


What do you think?? Do you like these looks from the Kardashians by bebe line? Let me know your thoughts in a comment on this post! :)

Manly Monday!

Hello fashionistas, both men and women- Welcome to yet another FABULOUS Manly Monday! We have the honor of hearing from one of our favorite guest bloggers today, Aaron Hartman (who previously posted an accessories bootcamp for men that was AMAZING...Click here if you didn't get the chance to read it Fab-YOU-lous: Manly Monday). So without any further adieu, here is Aaron with his advice for all of the men readers....


There as always been a phrase in men’s fashion that has bothered me. “Boxers or Briefs.” It’s so limiting. Not to mention the two options are, in my opinion, the most boring of options. The truth is men have a lot of choices for the cloth downstairs. They run the spectrum of simple and functional, to completely aesthetically based. I like to have my day-to-day run somewhere in the middle.

I look at underwear in particular light. As I towel off from a shower in the morning and open my underwear drawer, I look inside too see a wealth of options. It maybe a random Tuesday, with no prospect of anyone seeing my underwear but me, but damn it, I want to look my best. Most days, I wear underwear just for me; my own little secret outfit choice I wear to give my self-esteem, and internal sex appeal a boost.

 Feel free to use that same mentality, or find your own reason to get away from boxers or briefs (ugh).  Start simple, if you’ve only ever worn boxers since puberty  (cause lets be honest we all know that as kids we only had tighty whities), go ahead and try the hybrid boxer briefs. And do yourself a favor and get a color other then grey, white or black. I think the reason I love underwear so much is because no matter what color I am wearing it always goes with my outfit. I don’t have to think about whether it matches or not. So take that mentality and go out and get a fun color. Express makes some great bright fluorescent colors this season, give them a try.

Once you are comfortable in boxer briefs its time to move on to big boy pants. This next cut is my personal favorite and almost exclusively what I wear. The square cut trunks. Take boxer briefs and cut off the boxer part and you have a pair of trunks. Covering a little more skin then briefs (and providing some much needed breathing room) trunks offer a great balance of sex appeal and functionality. I started my trunks collection at H&M who sells them in variety packs. It’s a great way to get started on having a great underwear collection. I was worried that H&M underwear would wear down fast but they have lasted me a couple of years and still going strong.

Alright now for the advance lesson. I am going to contradict myself now and say that it is in fact okay to wear briefs after the age of 10 with one important rule. Don’t buy Hanes. I don’t care what Michael Jordan says; you need to go with better quality underwear if you are going to pull of this look. Freshpair.com has a great selection for shopping online. C-IN2 is a good go-to brand in particular but there are a lot out there. The important part with briefs (and why I say to avoid Hanes) is the fit. Go out and get a designer pair of briefs that fits, trust me no one will be calling them tighty whities any more. Once you’ve mastered these looks then you can go crazy- Nothing will be too ridiculous for you.

Thanks for reading, fashionistas! And once again, thanks to Aaron for guest blogging!

Louis Vuitton Jewelry

By now, I am sure that you all have realized how much I adore Louis Vuitton: I have purses, luggage, shoes, a wallet, an agenda and more from LV, all of which I have written about on this blog. The one thing I do not yet have is any pieces from their jewelry collection- this is especially surprising considering how amazing I think their pieces are! I wanted to detail a few of my stand-out favorites from their current collection, all available on www.louisvuitton.com. 

One of my favorite pieces is the Farandole Bracelet in Rose, which is a chunky bangle bracelet made of resin. Inside of the resin lays LV logos and the signature LV monogram motif created in a 3D design of colored resin and brass pieces. Retail Price: $420
A stand out ring in their current collection is definitely the Flower Power Ring. This stunning ring features a round flower that is Swarovski Crystallized. The centerpiece of this ring is a Louis Vuitton engraved rounded nail button at the center, all held together with a trendy graphic link chain- This piece is a must have! Retail Price: $255
My overall favorite piece in their collection right now is this adorable Tutti Sweety Pendant- how fabulous is this!? This pendant is inspired by childhood candies, and it will satisfy any fashionista's sweet tooth! The pendant features golden brass, colored resin, clored lacquer, and Swarovski crystal elements. Obsessed!! Retail Price: $420
***The only way to 100% guarantee that your Louis Vuitton is authentic is to purchase it from a Louis Vuitton retail store, the official Louis Vuitton online retail store www.louisvuitton.com, or at a department store boutique (such as Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc). PLEASE do not participate in the counterfeit goods market!

Want it Wednesday!

These pumps are the most trendy and fabulously fun heel I have seen this season! The 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Baroque' Multi T-Strap Pump surpasses all of my expectations.
This pump features 3 straps of gorgeous black leather, all fastening with stunningly shiny gold buckles. The main portion of this fabulous platform pump is wrapped in supple suede. The heel height is 5" with 1 1/4" platform and the shoe is available in both Grey and Bordeaux.
The best part of this shoe for me is the FIERCE heel. Can you say diva?! The snake skin golden embellished heel makes the shoe in my opinion, and brings this platform pump to a whole new level.
This 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Baroque' Multi T-Strap Pump is 100% something that I WANT! Could you imagine how amazing these pumps would look with an edgy black dress, black tights, gold jewelry, and a gold clutch!? HEAVEN!

Trend Alert- Studded Boots

The motorcycle boot trend has been 'in' for quite awhile now, but it has been interpreted in a few different ways for this Fall season- I covered the Lace-up boots trend in a previous post (Click here if you didn't get a chance to read it- Fab-YOU-lous: Trend Alert: Lace up Boots) and now I want to cover another trend with boots which is huge right now: studding.
Studded boots have been gracing the feet of celebrities and doing a fierce diva stomp down runways all around the world for this Fall season- studded boots are HUGE right now.
My favorite reasonable priced studded boot of the season is the Sam Edelman 'Lockhart' Boot (seen above)- These fierce studded motorcycle boots are amazing in my opinion- The studs add the perfect amount of sparkle and toughness to complete any look. They scream trendy and edgy. These boots are available at Nordstrom for $300. 
The MOST AMAZING splurge studded boot of this season is the Christian Louboutin Egoustina Tall Mc Boot. I have died and went to heaven every time I lay my eyes on these beauties- Could it get any more amazing than this stunning boot?! The spike detail cap toe and back belt are perfection, the leather is beyond beautifully gorgeous, and of course topping it all off with Christian Louboutin's signature bold red leather sole makes this shoe my #1 choice for Fall. I am officially OBSESSEDYou can purchase these boots at Neiman Marcus for $1,495


Studded boots are a must have for Fall, so be on the lookout for a pair that is just right for your tastes :)

At a price of $78 I really believe that this ring is totally a must have for the Fall season! I personally purchased mine last summer and it is more in style now than ever, which of course makes me super happy. Ariella is a great quality brand that you can find at Nordstrom, they make a ton of really fun jewelry products in different trendy and classy designs, so definitely check them out next time you are out shopping!

All are so stunning and unique, I am surprised I haven't splurged and purchased another color yet! :P
I am obsessed with this big chunky flower design that is completely 'blinged out' with gorgeous stones. This ring is definitely a statement ring, perfect for a night out on the town or a fun cocktail party, so when styling your look make sure to go light on the rest of your jewelry when wearing this beautiful piece.

How to Get the Perfect Red Lip

As you have probably seen in all the gossip magazines and recent runway pictures, the red lip is a huge trend, and it's certainly not going away any time soon.

Many fashionistas may feel reluctant to try a red lip since it is so bold; So today I want to teach you all how to create the perfect red lip, without having it be "too much", but still enough red to capture this trend.

First, you MUST line your lips with a bright red color- my favorite is Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Liner in Barcelona (scarlet apple). This is available at Sephora for $18. Next, apply
bright red lipstick. My favorite is NARS Lipstick in Jungle Red (semi matte bright red)- this lipstick is AMAZING, the color is so bold and the product is super creamy. This NARS lipstick is available at Sephora for $24. Last, apply some shiny gloss to finish off our bold look- anything with a bit of sparkle and lots of shine will do the trick!
Remember, when you are applyign a red lip, try to keep the rest of your makeup at a minimum (especially your eyes). This red lip will add so much drama to your look, so keep the liner light (line the inside rim of your bottom lid if you need to apply liner at all), eyeshow light (white shadow looks great with this look), keep the blush to a minumum, and pump up the volume on those lashes for an extra sultry look- Experiment with this hot new trend and enjoy!

Stay Fabulous xoxo
