One Dress-- Four Parties!

Look 1: Office Party
Look 2: Cocktail party

Look 3: Family Party

Look 4: New Year's Party

We all know that little black dresses are the most versatile pieces in our wardrobe-- & today we're going to prove it: 4 times! We also realize that while you want to look super haute for all your holiday functions you don't want to break the bank either in the midst of all your holiday shopping. So we've created 4 unique looks all based around the same simple black dress. All it takes is a few switch ups with your accessories, hair, & makeup and you'll look like you rocked 4 different dresses!

Look 1: Office Party -- The best way to look a bit more conservative is by not showing off a sexy silhouette. This party perfect jacket that we've added still puts some fun in the mix keeping it youthful with the sparkle but the neckline keeps everything office appropriate. We paired everything with some suede wedges to keep the look simple and classic.

Look 2: Cocktail Party-- By adding some red accessories you can really play up a simple black outfit. Our model is rocking red pumps with a red clutch, keeping the rest of the accessories simple with slate grey accents. Add some curl to your hair & a smokey eye and you'll be ready to hit any party!

Look 3: Family Party-- Like most people, we feel the need to be a bit more covered up when we're hanging out with the fam. The perfect solution is layering with a cardigan which instantly gives off a wholesome look even grandma would approve of! Keep your hair and makeup simple to match your laid back look!

Look 4: New Year's Party-- Believe it or not wearing sequins isn't mandatory for the New Year. You can add just enough sparkle by layering some fun necklaces together to incorporate some bling! Fun snakeskin shoes adds another special pop of party to your outfit. While pulling your hair back automatically makes you look sleek and sophisticated!

Happy Partying! love, the fab'rik lady & gent

Festive Ideas for the Holidays

Here at fab'rik we always love to throw a good party; whether it be birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, engagement, anniversary, or just a random get together-- we are always down for getting the gang together & celebrating just about anything! But we especially love gathering for the holidays.
Who doesn't love a good holiday party? Year after year, people celebrate this time of family & friends with all sorts of themes to bring everyone together.
Having a hard time making up your mind on what you'd like to host this year?
Here is our list of must-have holiday parties:
-Favorite Sweater: old school but never gets old. A great way for both guys & gals to get excited about the holiday season. Rock a favorite sweater from childhood or score one at a thrift store. Makes your outfit selection sooo much easier.
-Tacky Christmas: duh. It's favorite sweater-esque taken to a whole new level. What's more fun that seeing all of your friends decked out in reindeer antlers, jingle bells & wreaths! Over time we've seen some pretty outlandish get ups at these type of gatherings!
-Winter Wonderland: Easy enough: ask all of your friends to gather in winter white, creme, & ivory outfits. These color-based- themed parties are great for pictures & wanting a simple theme to mold your party around.
-Potluck party: makes things easy for the hostess. If you're really wanting to get your group of friends together but don't have hours to spend slaving in the kitchen this is your best option. Send out an evite or mass email (this way everyone can know what everyone's bringing) suggesting different sides, desserts, etc. It's an easy way out of having to throw the whole thing together yourself! & a great way to get new recipe ideas! Which brings us to our next theme...
-Recipe exchange: this is geared more towards the gals. But a really cute idea especially for ladies in their 20s who are still figuring out how to go about hosting their own party. Make it simple: appetizers & drinks, & ask all your guests to bring their preferred holiday recipe on note cards-- enough for each guest. Everyone will love finding out how to make grandma's gingerbread cookies, your family pumpkin pie, etc. all while sipping on a cocktail...
-Mixology party: What's a holiday party without some fun drink options? Another girl friendly idea is a cocktail themed party. Similar to the recipe exchange except better ;) Everyone brings the ingredients to their favorite party (hopefully holiday inspired) drinks to share with friends while mingling with friends. Here's one of our favorite cocktails with a festive twist: We call it the Christmas Collins: First fill a cocktail shaker with cracked ice. Add gin (preferably Bombay), lemon juice & sugar. Shake about 5 times. Then fill an 8 oz. glass with about a palm-full of pomegranate seeds. After, pour our mixture from the cocktail shaker into the glass & top it off with a sprig of thyme-- which mocks a mistletoe!
-Ornament Exchange: My girlfriends & I used to do this in high school, & as the years have gone on I cherish the memories from these get togethers the most from holiday seasons' past. Everyone brings an ornament & follows the rules much like a white elephant gift exchange. It's a great way to get some adorable ornaments to add to your Christmas trees over the years.
-XXXmas Party: Now I suppose it's only fitting for the adult version of the ornament exchange party that my friends & I have migrated to over the past couple of years. Same concept-- different gifts. We each bring some lingerie under $40 and have a hilarious time laughing as everyone fights over lingerie... my how times have changed ;)

Cheers! & Happy hostess-ing!!
