The fab'rik Guide to Game Day

   Hi guys! I'm Caroline, the fab'rik Savannah store manager and blogger over at ladylikelace.com. I'm super pumped about sharing a fun and simple guide to game day! With football season around the corner and as the daughter of a former football coach and sister to a football player, this post is near to my heart! Mostly because, I get it, in the south football season is a BIG deal, the biggest deal and I'm here to help you answer that dreaded question, "What should I wear to the game?" Every girl needs the perfect game day outfit to feel beautiful and to cheer on your team with confidence, and fab'rik is the perfect place to find that! Here a few guidelines and pictures to help you throughout the season:

1. Keep it simple- I'm the first one to admit that I love a complicated outfit with layers everywhere, tons of jewels, and new trends, but game day means less is more. You definitely don't want to look like you tried too hard and cute, simple pieces can always make a statement!

2.Be comfortable- This is not the time to try out your new super mini skirt or 6 inch heels. You NEED to be and look comfortable! You're going to be jumping up and down, mingling with friends, eating unhealthy, but oh so yummy food, and possibly climbing up and down bleachers! So slip on your favorite easy dress or your most comfortable pair of jeans for the days festivities!

3.Mix and match- Be sure to buy pieces that you can mix and match together and with other pieces. This will give you more options for every game without wearing the same outfit twice. Buy basics and solid colors that you can wear again.

4.Dress weather appropriate- We all know the weather during football season can be crazy! It's hot one week and can be freezing the next! Be sure to dress appropriate according to the weather. We know you're dying to wear that cute backless dress you snagged at fab'rik last week, but if it's 30 degrees out, save the dress and bundle up in your cutest game day sweater and boots!

5.It's all in the DEETS: Showing your team support is sometimes best executed in tiny increments. I love the idea of adding your schools colors in the little details of your outfit. Consider sporting your colors in your necklace, handbag, earrings, or shoes!

 

fab'rik City Spotlight: Macon, GA

Did you know fab'rik has 20 locations nationwide in 5 states, with several more set to open in the next year? While all fab'rik locations offer the same gorgeous merchandise and signature shopping experience, they are each unique in their own ways.  Each month on our blog, we'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at a different fab'rik Boutique, highlighting their eccentricities, customers, staff, and so much more!

 This month, we chose to highlight fab'rik Macon. Macon is about an hour south of Atlanta, and happens to be one of the largest fab'riks there is! Here's what the fab'rik Macon team has to say:

Hi fab'rik addicts!  We'd love for you to hear all about our little piece of the fab'rik puzzle!!  We opened in April of 2010, and have loved getting to have this piece of fashion heaven right here in our town.  We are a close team, and fab'rik addicts ourselves.  We love to host fun Rockstar parties; one of our most popular recent Rockstar parties was a Braid and Brow party.  Hair styling + brow grooming + shopping, all in the same place? Count us in. Our customers love to shop, while getting beautified! We also love hosting trunk shows and having other fun events.

A little bit about our team:   
On any given weekend you might find the fab'rik Macon team downtown at Tic Toc, one of our favorite restaurants, chatting about fashion, The Bachelor, and the new shipments we just got in. 
  
During inventory, we have a tradition of ordering pizza and listening to 90s music.  Once we accidentally scheduled inventory during the Oscars red carpet, so naturally we live streamed it from an iPad so we knew what everyone was wearing!  We don't take ourselves too seriously and have been known to post our bloopers on our facebook page.  We love to get together for off duty parties, like when Manager Holly hosted a jean shorts painting party a couple of months ago. (See Chasey and Madeline wearing theirs above!)  Any excuse for a staff meeting that involves fashion DIYs!

3 members of our team have their own fashion blogs!  Manager Holly's blog is called Designer Styles for The Frugal Soul.  Stylist Tiffany's blog is Tiffany Style Blog.  Stylist Logan's blog is all about the Bohemian Hipster!   

 

A little about our customers:  The fab'rik Macon customer has a pretty classic style. She's not afraid to try new trends, but knows when to stick to the basics as well.  We wear a lot of pink in March for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, and come fall, our customers love buying things in their school colors for football season.  We love to send our fab'rik addicts photos as new things come in, and we love learning what all our customers are into as trends come and go. 

  We'd love for any fab'rik addicts to come visit us if you are in town! We are open Mon-Sat 10-7, and Sun 1-5.

fab'rik City Spotlight: AUSTIN, TX

Did you know fab'rik has 20 locations nationwide in 5 states, with several more set to open in the next year? While all fab'rik locations offer the same gorgeous merchandise and signature shopping experience, they are each unique in their own ways.  Each month on our blog, we'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at a different fab'rik Boutique, highlighting their eccentricities, customers, staff, and so much more!

This month, we chose to highlight fab'rik Austin in the great state of Texas. It's located 30 min from downtown Austin and prides itself on being a UT student’s secret shopping spot and a suburban mom’s dream. Much like the city of Austin, fab'rik Austin has lots of energy yet is laid back and comfortable. 
 
Read what else manager Rachel had to say about fab'rik Austin...
 
We really work hard to participate in community events- Austin Fashion Week, local fashion show’s and local shopping markets. We even carry local designers such as our graphic T-shirt line- T-Shirt & Jeans Girl. The art work on our walls is always changing as well with a different artist every 3-4 months.
 

 

Our team is as unique as the clothes in our store. We each have our own style with a touch of fab’rik. The Hill Country Galleria is filled with great restaurants so you can usually find us on our home turf. For special occasions we treat ourselves at downtown hot spots such as La Condessa in the 2^nd street district.
 






The fab’rik Austin customer is super social and loves to go out on the town to try new restaurants or see live music. Often she is a young mom looking for the latest trends and loves to be the best dressed when out with her friends and family.

Live in the Austin area and want to check it out for yourself??

fab'rik Austin is open M-Sat. 10-8 and Sunday 12-6

 

 

It's Official: Transition Period has Arrived!

The time has come where you find yourself staring at your closet because you have no idea what to wear during these months of the year! It's that awkward period where it still feels like Summer but really everyone is telling you that it is almost Fall. Well, have no fear! We are here to help you transition your Summer pieces into fabulous Fall outfits!



Summer Piece #1: Floral Blouse

They were so "in" this summer and now your whole closet is filled with them. Well, here is a suggestion that gets you even more use out of that cute top!

Try adding a chic leather jacket! Now your blouse acts as the accent piece of the outfit!

Summer Piece #2: Open Toe Wedges

These wedges were our hottest shoes this Summer! So hot, that we wanted to show you that you can still show them off this Fall!

You can still pull them off with a great pair of skinny jeans.


And they even look cute with flare jeans!




Summer Piece #3: Flirty Dress

It is almost guaranteed that you have one or two (...ok, three or four) cute dresses in your closet from all of those Summer BBQ's and pool parties that you attended. You can still incorporate them into your Fall wardrobe by just adding a few pieces!


Just add a casual sweater and a colorful scarf to make your little Summer dress into a fun Fall outfit!


Are you getting excited for Fall yet...? We know we are. There are even more cute Fall pieces in our stores and on our website right now. Shop away!
