Two Fun Thursday!

Here at fab'rik we are all about starting the weekend early! We absolutely love Thursdays: why wait for Friday to commence end of week festivities? Whether it be margaritas with the girls or a sexy date night with our main squeeze, we are always up for a good time!

Lucky for us, this Thursday, May 20th, we have double the dose of fun, as two of our Atlanta locations are partying it up!

If you're in the mood for a real girl's night of cupcakes, champagne, and make up then you're in for a real treat at our City Walk/Sandy Springs location! Makeup specialists from J.Mont Makeup & Skincare Studio will be on site with tons of fun tips & tricks for perfecting your makeup routine!

Now, if you're all about mixing & mingling with some fellas while enjoying live music, wine, refreshments & extended hours (til 9pm) in the Shoppes Around Lenox then head to our Buckhead location to shop 'til the sun goes down!

How will we ever choose?

Both excellent options for an early weekend kickoff! Two events calls for two options! If you want to attend either event with a casual cool look check out our new tie-dyed maxi perfect for schmoozing. If you want to go for a fun & flirty look take on the night in our $58 floral mini! See ya tomorrow ;)

Monday Morning Mojo

Monday mornings are never easy (especially after a weekend of sun, fun, shopping, dancing... you get the idea). This morning we did our usual twitter/facebook/blog stalking and noticed that Marie Claire was pondering ideas on how to perk up during Monday morning blues!

We know that when we're feeling down the best way to get our minds back on a positive note is to dress up: our motto is if you look good, you'll feel good! Especially when you are trading in a fun-filled weekend for an early wake up call, traffic, & a long line at Starbucks! So jump out of those sweatpants and conquer your Monday in a fool-proof outfit!

We are loving this new $92 striped blazer! Throw on a high-waisted skirt, a statement necklace, & some wedges & shimmy your way to the office!

Wardrobe Bliss

One of our fab'rik girls is tying the knot in t-minus 2 days! & her pre-nuptial excitement has inspired today's blog! We already know the bride will look stunning in her dress (as any bride should). But, as guests, every wedding leads to the same bind: Oh, what to wear? Well, allow us to shed some light onto the subject, as there is no need to stand in your closet staring into oblivion while scouting endless options.

Fab'rik has picture perfect dresses ideal for any summer nuptial!

Throw on this $76 floral mini-- perfect for sipping champagne and burning up the dance floor! All you need to add is a jewel & some heels and you'll be ready to go!

Posh Nosh

Another spring weekend, another festival! This time around, it's in one of our favorite Atlanta neighborhoods! If you haven't ventured out to this trendy yet laid back nook of Atlanta you must get a Taste of the Highlands this Saturday May 15th starting at 2:00pm. While you may be over indulging into an extra couple (hundred) calories for the day, you can at least feel good about one thing: proceeds from this event benefit Children's Healthcare in Atlanta.

While you're nosh-ing on delicious local eats, look equally tasty in our $42 printed banded dress! Thanks to the elastic band, we know we can get away with our few extra morsels of goodness!!

Graphic Designer

"Print, print, print!"

While this may sound like your technologically-UNadvanced boss's daily gripe, we're actually talking about clothes here. So instead of taking a bat to that darn printer Office Space-style, might we suggest you take a swing at the so-hot-right-now tribal prints trend that are sweeping runways across the globe?

From Jimmy Choo to Diane von Furstenberg, spring and summer collections (clothing, accessories and beyond!) are including more and more tribal prints, paying homage to the "social safari" that is your life!



If you're scared of straying from your basic black, try incorporating the trend subtly with a pair of graphic platforms, like these for $36. We'd sport these with some rolled up khakis, a loose, half-tucked white button-down and a chunky necklace to top off the trend.

Why not test out this global goodness at Fernbank Museum's Martinis & IMAX tonight? Sippin' in style never tasted so good!

Shake It, Shake It Baby!

Shake it like a salt shaker...shake it like a Polaroid picture...shake it like a can of soup (last one's Otis Redding - look it up! Google it! We swear!)

But "Shake at the Lake"? If you haven't heard of that, you need to lend us your ears and figure out "where for art thou" should be this weekend. From May 5 - May 9, Georgia Shakespeare will be performing a Midsummer Night's Dream at Lake Clara Meer Lawn...for free! Just grab a wristband from Piedmont Park Visitor's Center at the 12th street entrance the morning of the show's performance, and you're in like...Oberon (might wanna google that one too while you're at it).

Just think - romantic ruffles. Sweet stripes. No, no, we're not talking about 16th century-inspired costumes here. We're talking about your outfit of choice to accompany your Romeo to the performance this weekend. For $44, wow the William wannabees with this flirtatious frock. You'll be a "midspring night's dream" to all who see you, and all the girls will want "to be" (you can forget "or not to be") you!

Back in Black

Wearing all black is like throwing on a baller gold watch...it just INSTANTLY makes you look chic, put together and...let's be frank...pretty badass. No one quite exemplifies the term "badass" better than Kelly Cutrone, founder of the branding, marketing and PR firm Peoples Revolution. With a resume and list of clients to die for, "Kell on Earth" has the tenacity we all could learn from when we're feeling a little wimpy. In fact, we DID learn from Ms. Cutrone last night when she graced Savannah College of Art & Design (ATL) for a SCAD Style Week lecture about working hard and getting what you want out of work and in life.


That's our girl, Angelique, getting Kelly to sign a copy of her book If You Have to Cry Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You !

In honor of "Kell on Peachtree", we thought we'd feature a few of our basic black stunners. Who knows, maybe you'll look in the mirror and find a toughness that you didn't see before.

How about this black embroidered tunic, only $48? Pair it with chic leggings, heels and a belt for work, and you'll be well on your way to feeling confident and cool, even if you're stuck in a cubicle. But break free at quittin' time with some killer cutoff shorts and gladiator sandals!

Feelin' a bit breezier? Why not give this $72 boho-luxe maxi dress a look? Paired with a chunky belt and perhaps a simple blazer or bolero, you'll be a haute topic at the conference table! Thanks to Kelly's advice, you can find yourself FIERCE & FASHIONABLE, and you can find your clothes at fab'rik!

Check out more celebs from the fashion industry at SCAD Style week, happening now through May 6 at both Savannah and Atlanta campuses.
