fffabulous

oui oui!

What do OPI Nail Polish You Don't Know Jacques! and Chanel Particulière have in common?? They share the same exact grey-beige-taupe color, have a bit of French in their name, and are simply fffabulous!! So if you can't find Chanel Particulière anywhere, or are on a budget, You Don't Know Jacques! is just what you need this summer!

wear a piece of history

I thought today would be the perfect day to talk about Gérard Darel "Jackie" necklace. Gérard Darel purchased Jacqueline Kennedy's lucky double strand necklace in 1996 at the Sotheby's auction of the iconic former first lady's jewelry collection, and since then, has produced it in several colors from white, pink, and gold to black (the original color). This necklace is absolutely gorgeous; it is made of glass, is different from any other necklaces, and I love it that Jackie Kennedy chose to wear it when meeting Général de Gaulle. Get this fffabulous black pearl necklace next time you're in Paris, and wear a piece of history. Happy Bastille Day to you all!!

fffabulous sale: lululemon wunder groove crop in static grey

I can't get enough of my Wunder Under Crop in static charcoal so I decided to get it in another color. This Wunder Under Crop in static classic sport grey/quilting 1 feels like a second skin, sucks you in, and is reversible too. You can either go with the all grey look, or sport the colorful waistband that will match a lot of tops you already own (or will own very soon.) I also love it that despite its light grey color, it won't show any imperfections you may have (if any!). And someone may even mistake you for Halle Berry. Okay, now I'm being silly.

a classic workout bra

I'm still a bit lululemon obsessed. I was checking out their tops section, and decided to give the Lululemon Athletica Flow Y Bra IV a try. You'd think that with the thin straps, it would not provide much support. Well, that's quite the contrary! Of course, I wouldn't run with it, but it's a great bra to wear for yoga and the gym. I love the racerback shape too, which makes it 'compatible' with all the racerback tops I own. I got it in white because it's a classic color, and it looks so good with a nice tan, but you can pick from a fffew fffabulous colors too, such as angel blue, passion and potion purple.

another crush of mine

Lynn (a.k.a. llle LLLynn because she's fabuLLLous) went to Paris last year, and came back with a Gérard Darel python purse too. She got the metallic python purse in bronze, pictured here, and it's fffabulous! And I want it SO BAD!!! So much that I had to tell her to keep it away from me, or I would 'borrow' it on the spot. I did borrow it for a minute to take these pictures but I had to give it back... Doesn't it look like it belongs to me? Seriously!!

Btw, which color would you get? Natural python, or metallic python in bronze? DO TELL!

i heart gerard darel

I have been a Gérard Darel fffan for as long as I remember. I spent my first paycheck on one of their fffabulous jackets, and I drop the big bucks there each time I go to France. Imagine my surprise when I found out Angelina Jolie dressed there when she was pregnant with Vivienne and Knox. Now, that's fffabulous!!

Anyway, back to my fffabulous point. Gérard Darel makes the most fffabulous python bags too. They are classic yet modern, reasonably priced (for python), and perfect for everyday wear...and I don't own one yet. Cherchez l'erreur! My dear fffriend Fern was in Paris last month and got this Gérard Darel 24h Utah python bag there, joining Halle and Lindsay's club. In fact, her sister got one too, the exact same python purse! Isn't it absolutely fffabulous?? If I were you (or me), I'd save these €900 it costs, and add Gérard Darel to the list of things to do while in France next...

 

steal this fffabulous look!

Nancy looked as fffabulous as always for ladies' night last night, and her gold jewelry caught my attention immediately. It looked so good with her golden tan, and it was bold without being too much. So I had to ask her where she got *everything*! And she told me *everything*!! Are you ready to know *everything*?? Here we go! Nancy got her necklace at Anthropologie (but of course), and I'm in love with it. It is so precious!! It looks rich with its multitude of coin pendants, but still delicate and sophisticated. And under $50. I couldn't find it online but if we all refresh this page a million times, it may appear, hehe! Or go to the store near you to snatch it. She paired this fffabulous necklace with the Tory Burch Danielle Cuff, and all I have to say is: that's one fffabulous pairing! I like, like, and like. Oh, and that silk top is from DVF. When I told you I asked about pretty much *everything*...

one top, two fffabulous styles

Last night was ladies' night, and two of my friends showed up with the same top... fffashion fffaux-pas or fffabulous thing? I personally *loved* it! Lisa styled this fffabulous Tucker Printed Silk Cami with dark skinny jeans and heels, and Anne layered it with a white cami, and paired it with white pants and wedges. So fffabulous!

You can truly wear this top a million different ways, play with colors, because of all the black, white, orange, blue, and purple accents in it, and dress it up or down depending on the occasion. But the fact that it is made of silk means that it'll always bring a sophisticated touch to your outfit. I'm SO lucky to have such fffabulous girlfffriends!

fffabulous sale: inhabit cashmere cropped cardigan

I tried this Inhabit cashmere cropped cardigan (which looks more like a vest to me), and I couldn't take it off. It is pretty, sophisticated, and so versatile. Get it in navy and wear it all summer long with a white tee and a pair of jeans, or get it any other color and layer it to go out or on a chilly day. My fffavorite color is the green marble color, pictured here, as it's different, but still a neutral color that'll go with everything. Did I mention this vest is on sale for $118, instead of $298? A BARGAIN!!!

once you go slim...

I can't resist Havaianas sandals. I see a pair in a fffabulous color and I have to get it right away. This year, I fell for the Havaianas Slim Flip Flops in a grey metallic color, and I love them!! The slim strap makes these flip flops more feminine and the metallic finish makes them classier. So much so that I've been wearing them almost every day (oops!), and forgotten about all the other pairs of Havaianas I own. It may be time to get a second pair...
