fffabulous

it's cardi season!

Can a woman have too many cardigans?? I already bought two fffabulous cardigans this season, one Vince cardigan and one Inhabit Cardigan, and in an effort to diversify it all, I got this T Los Angeles cardigan in light grey last weekend. Hehe! I fell in love with T Los Angeles last year, when I got their cashmere vest in wheat AND in navy. Best purchase EVER! I wore these vests all summer long. This season, TLA came up with this classic, practical, and oh so trendy cardigan. Love the length, the cute pockets on the side, the details at the wrist, and the drape on the front. And, although it's cashmere, it doesn't peel. True story! Wear it with a nice scarf (read: this fffabulous Inhabit twisted stripe scarf), and you're all set for the fall.

tiffany reversible tote

Tiffany just launched a new line of reversible totes, in suede and metallic leather, and I love it!! Nothing fancy, all very classic, practical, and they come in beautiful colors. And the price point is not bad either. I am not one to take advantage of the reversible feature though. Would you? In my opinion, the outside of a purse is in contact with so much that I wouldn't expose what's in my purse to it. And we all know that the inside of a purse is often ruined by pen marks, lipstick stains, etc. If I were to pick two, I'd get the expresso color in suede, just like Jennifer Aniston, or the gold metallic color for sunny days. Which one(s) would you pick?

fffabulous sale: inhabit sweaters on gilt groupe

Gilt Groupe is having an Inhabit sale today, and this is one you don't want to miss! As you may already know, I love Inhabit cashmere sweaters. They are soft, lightweight, fitted, and they come in amazing colors. Here are a few of my fffavorites:

• Stretch Cashmere Cardigan: This is one classic cardi. To layer (or not!), and to wear all year round.
• Cashmere Crewneck Sweater: Tired to wear v-neck and round-neck sweaters? Get the u-neck sweater! Truly unique, and it makes the perfect cleavage.
• Contrast Trim Sweater: Another unique sweater. Love the double v-neck, and I love the Cinder color.
• Lightweight Knit Turtleneck: A classic. I own a few of these. The Black and Ivory color are true staples to any wardrobe. The King Fisher color is truly amazing, too.

fffabulous trunk show: white & warren at alys grace

So many exciting things happening this week. First, Alys Grace had her Grand Re-Opening on Santa Cruz avenue on Wednesday, and now we get to have a lovely White & Warren Trunk Show. Today only from 10am to 6pm. Just in time for the fall. I love it!! As you know, I love trunk shows because you get to pick the style, color and size you like, i.e. pieces that may not even be ordered for the store, and that you won't see on anyone else. And I love it that Renee, from White & Warren, is here to show their hippest styles sent from New York especially for the trunk show. Come check out this fffabulous collection, pick a few pieces for the fall, and then all you'll have to do is shop for boots to complete your look. Works for me!

PS: there'll be champagne and yummy cookies too, the Alys Grace way!

to get or not to get, that is the question?

Oh my! I love my Elizabeth and James Jane Pointy Toe Flats in black so much, I am now tempted to get them in grey too. Why? Because...

• When you like something, you should get them in multiples—Don't you ever wish you had bought another pair of your favorite jeans?
• Grey is hot this season. To wear with anything grey, and specifically the fffabulous Inhabit cardigan and scarf in alpaca
• The snake embossed leather, and the lace-up detailing at the vamp look sooo good on the grey pair. Love love it!

Would you get the black pair, or the grey pair, or both? Take our poll!

it's delightful!

Louis Vuitton never ceases to amaze me. Their last purse is delightful, and appropriately named so. The Delighful Monogram GM is modern with its hobo shape, very roomy, and perfect for everyday wear. I love the two exterior zip pockets—practical and so trendy, and the flat leather handle; you'd think it doesn't matter, but it makes all the difference in the world when a purse gets heavy (and most of the time, it does). It also exists in 'Petit Modèle' (PM) and 'Moyen Modèle' (MM), but the 'Grand Modèle' (GM) is so much more fffabulous!! To get now, or to add to your Christmas list. You'll wear it for many many years.

 

rebecca minkoff alligator impression nikki hobo

I was browsing shopbop.com, and this Rebecca Minkoff Alligator Impression Nikki Hobo Purse caught my eye. I love everything about this purse...its luxurious tan color, the alligator-embossed leather, which means that the little accident of life won't show as much (yes, things happen!), the flat shoulder strap for comfort, and the gold hardware. All in all, this purse is practical, trendy and goes with everything. And you'll get 20% off this fffabulous purse by entering coupon code EARLYFALL20 at checkout. Offer valid today only. Hurry up!

love quotes scarf in black meditation

A Love Quotes scarf is the perfect accessory to transition into fall. It's stylish, soft and will keep you warm. I got a couple of Love Quote scarves this year, and I recently added the Love Quotes Scarf in Black Meditation to my collection. To wear black on black, with a jean jacket a la Nicole Richie, or with pretty much anything you own. Yep, this scarf is that fffabulous!

lululemon lulu zen wrap

I found the coolest sweater at lululemon the other day. And I ended up getting more than one because it makes the perfect gift too! The Lulu Zen Wrap is soft, lightweight, goes with absolutely everything. Wear it with spandex to go to the gym, or with your fffavorite LBD to go out. Noone would ever guess it's lululemon, and you'll be warm and looking fffabulous in every occasion. And did I mention it contains cashmere, AND is machine washable? Yay!

 

elizabeth and james jane pointy toe flats

I was looking for a pair of classic flats for this fall, and once again, Elizabeth and James didn't disappoint. I am already addicted to the Olsen twins' beautiful clothing line, and I am now embarking on an Elizabeth and James shoe addiction. They did manage to make me buy a pair of flats; that should tell you something!! The Elizabeth and James Jane Pointy Toe Flats are absolutely fffabulous. They are classic, and feature a pointy toe, yet they have an edge with the snake embossed leather, and the lace-up detailing at the vamp. I looove! And they feel like slippers. To wear every day with a pair of boyfriend jeans or skinny jeans, when traveling a la Jessica Alba, or when walking hundreds of miles at a trade show. They do fit true to size, truly. And they are 40% off on chickdowntown.com with coupon code FALL40.

say bye bye to tan lines with bikinibands

What do Jennifer Aniston and Brooke Burke have in common? They should be using BikiniBands when out in the sun. Because BikiniBands is simply the most elegant way to never ever be caught with ugly tan lines, while still look fffabulous in your fffavorite swimsuit, of course. BikiniBands is discreet, easy to use, and holds your top securely in place so you can untie your straps and relax in the sun strap-free. Damn, I wish I had thought of this brilliant idea because this is the coolest accessory I've used this summer.

fffabulous sale: L*Space swimwear

I got this fffabulous L*Space swimsuit last summer, and to this day, it remains my fffavorite swimsuit. I get lots of compliments, stares, and 'where did you get it?' when I wear it. Because it's sexy, classic yet has a little something that makes it stand out from any other swimsuits, and it comes in a beautiful solid color. Well, today is your lucky day because the L*Space 2010 Swimwear Collection is on sale. Pick a top and a bottom you like, mix and match shapes and colors, and you're guaranteed to wow the crowd next time you wear it. My favorite colors are the Plum color for a very sophisticated look, and the Royal color for a fun bright look; check them out on Heidi Montag and Cameron Diaz. And, I have a thing for the Coco Halter top (pictured here) that Lindsay Lohan was wearing last summer. I love it that the gold chain hardware replaces the classic straps. So fffab! Now, I'm curious: which one(s) are you gonna get?
