Amazing New Tory flats!

As I have mentioned previously, I am obsessed with Tory Burch flats- they are super stylish, practical, and fashionable! (read my previous Tory Burch flat review: Fab-YOU-lous: Tory Burch Reva Flats). I am always on the market for a new pair, and when I saw these I just couldn't resist! These beautiful black and off-white flats are weaved in an amazingly designed straw material.

The logo plate on the toe of the shoe is so amazing! It is different from the normal silver/gold plate that is the signature on Tory Burch flats; instead thrse flats feature a resin design 3-D stamped logo plate! It is black with the raised stamp in silver- I love it! It is so different and chic!

I am obsessed with everything about this shoe! The colors, chic weaved design, and the amazing logo plate all make this shoe a must have! I can't wait to wear mine :)


You can purchase these Tory Burch flats at Neiman Marcus
Retail price: $235

Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Runway Purses

WOW! That is all I have to see after seeing these fierce designs march down the runway for Louis Vuitton Spring 2011. These bags are beyond wild, colorful, and super fun!

Well done, creative director Marc Jacobs- you have succeeded in adding some youthful spunk into the very classic Louis Vuitton brand! Not that I don't adore the timeless prints of LV, but this collection is so exciting! It has charisma and charm that leaves me wanting more designs like this in the future from LV. 

Louis Vuitton uses a plethora of materials in these designs ranging from beads, glittering stones, metal, suede, the classic LV brown print, and patent leather. 

The designs are artful and bright, steering clear of the classic Louis Vuitton browns and neutrals. Instead, this season LV brought fun, clashing, color-blocked designs to the runway- I can't get enough of this collection, it is so different and unique! Feast your eyes on these fabulous purses, fashionistas- I know you will be just as obsessed!

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!
