melissa odabash swimwear

It's been freezing outside, so I thought a post on fancy bikinis would warm us all up and raise our temperatures. How is that? Well, because the Melissa Odabash swimwear line is HOT HOT HOT! And it will surely get you in the mood to go bikini shopping, and to maybe even book the fancy winter gateway trip that goes with it!

I got this Melissa Odabash Sharita halter bikini on hautelook.com, and I love it. It is sexy and sophisticated, and I am a big fan of its green color (although you may prefer the equally fffabulous white version of it depending on your skin tone). I love the attention to details on the bandeau style top with the bead embellished halter neck and the ring detail, while the self-tie high leg briefs are just so perfectly simple. And did I already mention how sexy it looks? As for the sizing, the bottom is Brazilian-style tiny, so pick a size that fits your bust-line, and you're all set!

fffabulous site: hautelook.com

It has been fffashionista heaven lately with sales popping up left and right in stores, yet I am a big fffan of hautelook.com for anything on sale. Hautelook.com has first and foremost amazing sales—think 60% to 75% off, but that's not all. Everything featured on hautelook.com is about anything hot that season from the most amazing brands, such as Splendid, b.chyll (an amazing cashmere sweater brand), Melissa Odabash swimwear and many other brands that are usually on your black list because they will sabotage any sane and thought-through budget in a heartbeat.

Hautelook.com even offers deals on our most adored and most popular designer jean brands such as William Rast, 7 For All Mankind or Joe’s Jeans and yes, for more than half their price. Woohoo! Hautelook offers a few brands at a time for a limited time only, and all items of any given brand are displayed nicely on the site to make your shopping experience more enjoyable. The only thing that drives me nuts (and you'll probably experience this as soon as you get onto the site) is that I usually want to buy everything! Aaaaaah! But that's what happens on hautelook when they always have so much cute stuff for such great deals! Of course, you'll find our fffavorite brands and personal recommendations on clothes and jewelry items we like the most on fffabulous.com, and we'll also do our best to advise you on color and the sizing to make your hard decisions easier.

Oh, and something worth mentioning: hautelook.com doesn't do exchanges for another size or color after the sale has ended and will only do store credit upon a return of an item (click here to read their return policy). But I guarantee you won't carry a store credit for too long...

chanel tulipe noire

I am a sucker for a nice dark nail polish. Winter time usually means that I am going to wear Chanel Vamp, a sparkly deep red color, or OPI Oh To Be 25 Again!, a dark chocolate brown color. That is, until I discovered Tulipe Noire from Chanel. It is a delicious warm reddish brown color with some sparkle in it, and it's just SO yummy! It's lighter than both my Chanel and OPI fffavorites, which may please some of you who still haven't walked to the dark side (ha!), and the color looks ultra sophisticated on very short toe- and fingernails. This is my new fffavorite nail polish color, and I recommend you all try it. It's also one cheap way to look and feel fffabulous this winter—relatively speaking, that is!
