fffabulous

two dots

I learnt something new last weekend. Woohoo! Lynn and I were shopping for Three Dots tees at FFFred Segal when she explained to me how the Three Dots sizing works, and I've got to say, it's pretty clever! All Three Dots tees have three dots on the back of the shirt (in place of an inconvenient tag that always ends up sticking out of the shirt), and the coloring of these dots tells you which size that tee is. If the first dot is light grey, it's a size Small; if the second dot is light grey, it's a size Medium, etc. Check out this video to know all about it! I like!!

one dot

We just came back from LA and never thought we would spend an entire day shopping at FFFred Segal. Yet we did. You should have seen us; we were like kids in a candy store. We went from their fffabulous shoe department where we shopped for Cynthia Vincent shoes to their beauty department where we met Diana B. herself, and tried her fffabulous sugar scrub—it makes your skin so soft, and the Peach Frangipani scent smells like heaven! We moved on to the Fred Segal eyewear store where we tried the most fffabulous pairs of sunglasses—stay tune for a couple of videos featuring our fffavorite designer, Barton Perreira. Then, we spent a couple of hours trying tee-shirts, sweaters and scarves. Fred Segal has the most amazing selection of Three Dots tees of all styles and colors (pictured here) and we got a bunch of them...because a woman needs more than a few of these fffabulous basics in her wardrobe. And so it begins...

point & shoot

While strolling along Abbot Kinney in Venice today, we walked into the TopoRanch store and this tee caught my eye. The Point & Shoot tee is so fffab! It has a retro feel to it, and if you are passionate about photography, you've got to get it. Available in white at the store, and in a very light blue color (a.k.a. soothing sea) online. Love them both!

spicing it up a bit...

Time for a short commercial break, people! And not just any commercial break. We thought this short video would be a great way for the ladies to deal with any fffashion withdrawal they've been experiencing since fffabulous guy week has started. And we thought you guys may be inspired by Old Spice body wash commercial. Enjoy!

we are the superlative conspiracy

One of my engineers showed up at work with this cool tee. Of course, I had to ask him where he got it because this is one fffabulous icon fade tee. I love the faded logo across the chest, the fabric is soft, and who wouldn't want to wear a tee made by WeSC, or We are The Superlative Conspiracy? This is the perfect tee to wear with a pair of jeans and sneakers any day. Thanks Brian for the reco, and for being our model!

prada men's shoes

You can't go wrong with Prada. Prada shoes are trendy yet classic and so comfy! They are a bit pricey, but they're worth the investment as you'll wear them -almost- every day for many many years. I love these new Prada Men's Shoes from their Spring - Summer 2010 collection. I love the style, the legnedary signature red stripe on heel, and the silver detail on it, Puma style, that gives it an edgy look. To wear with a pair of designer jeans or a Hugo Boss black suit any day!

long live the fffab fffour!

By popular demand, this week is fffabulous guy week, and we have some fffun surprises for you guys. We thought we'd start off the week with this fffabulous tee. The Ben Sherman Beatles Fab Four Faces T-Shirt (or Ben Sherman Beatles FFF T-Shirt, ha!) is too cool to be true. This crewneck tee features a colorfully printed design depicting The Beatles, Andy Warhol style. And it'll look great with a pair of designer jeans for everyday wear. We like! Here is to one more fffab tee to add to your wardrobe!

And check out the Ben Sherman Beatles collection for more items featuring the fffab fffour!

david lerner lace tank dress

Lace is one of the hottest trends this season. I can't open a magazine without seeing a fffabulous dress or top featuring lace yoke. Recently, I've been raving about the David Lerner leggings and the NightCap Clothing lace dress, and when I tried the David Lerner lace tank dress  on, I realized it was the perfect combination of my two crushes: stretchy comfy fabric that hugs the body with a bit of lace. Simple, but sassy. Oh, and this dress looks SO good with the Jimmy Choo Quiet pumps in red patent leather. HOT!

Note that this dress sizes a bit small so I recommend you order a size M if you usually wear a size 2/4. And it's not as short as it appears on the picture (or on Kristin Cavallari) if you are a woman of normal proportions who wears a regular size.

heart breaker. dream maker. love taker.

Ladies, we're being so spoiled this summer!! I just got a Lyric Culture tee that is just as fffabulous as the Signorelli Owl Tee in Silver, only without the big owl on it. But here is the trick: the heartbreaker v-neck tee is decorated with lyrics from Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker". I love everything about this tee: the grey/taupish color, the clingy burnout fabric (told ya it's hot this season!), the sexy v-neck line, and last but not least, the lyrics. Are you ready to rock it, break hearts and take numbers?? 

And if you prefer a classic fitted r-neck tee, Lyric Culture has what you're looking for. I got the all you need is love tee and the lucy in the sky with diamonds tee two summers ago and they are fffabulous, and still in rotation this season.

señorita signorelli

If you don't know about Signorelli already, now is the time! Signorelli is all about designing tees for charities and we love it. But we love it even more when a tee also has a big owl on it. Hehe!

The Signorelli Owl Tee in Silver is simply fffabulous. It may sounds like your typical tee, but really, it has all the small details you want in a vintage tee: it is made of sheer burnout fabric (hot this season!), has raw cut sleeve and hem, and the color is unique; I wouldn't call it silver but rather a nice very pale blue color. It'll look awesome with slightly distressed jeggings or your good ol' pair of boyfriend jeans. It's also worth mentioning this tee is flattering to the figure with a good length and makes the perfect cleavage. Just don't let the big owl scare you!

jennifer's james jeans

I have to admit it's weird to try a pair of bootcut jeans after wearing leggings and skinny jeans all winter long. But I was happy these were James Jeans! The James Jeans Hector High Rise Jeans in Geisha fit so well. They are high rise, long (34'' inseam), very soft, and the pocket design features angled back pockets that shapes the booty. You'll look incredible in them! And you've gotta love the classic wash. I've owned this pair of jeans for three weeks now and they may have become my go-to pair of bootcut jeans this season. Just like Jennifer Aniston who's been spotted wearing them, and is reportedly a fffan!

Note that these jeans run big so get a size smaller than you usually get (now, I like that!!), and they shrink a bit length-wise so wash them first before you get them hemmed.

fffashion overload coming your way!

The new Sex and the City 2 trailer is out and it is absolutely fffabulous!! Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte have never looked so fffabulous in their colorful outfits...and the shoes, oh my! And you'll even get a peek at the cameos by Penelope Cruz, Miley Cyrus, and the legendary Liza Minnelli. What's not to like, really?? Oh, I betcha I'm gonna go see this movie a dozen times just to make sure I didn't miss a dress, a purse, a shoe, and all the fffabulous accessories they have in there, although I've already spotted a Rolex watch!

Now what? Call your ladies friends, book your movie tickets, plan to dress fffabulously, and ENJOY! On May 27th, that is.

tame your fffavorite girls

Gotta keep the girls in place while working out...and the Ta Ta Tamer does a fffabulous job at it!! This sport bra provides maximum support while being very comfy. It does tame the ta-tas without smooching them down, and it comes in beautiful colors—the bright pink and bold blue are my very favorites! I also love it that it has large adjustable shoulder straps, and that you can choose amongst different cup sizes and back width, just like for a normal bra. I, however, recommend you try a few sizes to find your ideal match, as it sizes a bit differently from your everyday bra.

And for those who think the Ta Ta Tamer looks a lot like a giant grandma-ish bra, only colorful, or sportswear version of the Jean-Paul Gaultier cone bra, I'd say try it on, and you'll notice that it'll give your girls a nice rounded shape. To wear as is, or with a tank top. You've never looked that fffabulous while working out!! 

lululemon perfffection

I went to lululemon over the weekend to get a 'refill' of all things lululemon fffabulous, i.e. bras, tops, pants, cropped pants, you name it...and I got the Wunder Under Crop in static charcoal. These pants are the most comfortable pants I've ever tried. They are made of a very thin and stretchy fabric that feels like a second skin, so much you just won't feel them when you work out. I also love the static charcoal color. It is a nice change from your typical black sweatpants, but is still dark enough to go with everything and hide the little imperfections. And you can also wear them outside of the gym as leggings with sheepskin boots.

As far as sizing is concerned, I went up two sizes in those because the fabric of the grey charcoal crop pants is 'tighter' than the lululemon signature fabric, so I recommend you try them on first.
