Happy New Fashionable You...!!

As you all know Angelique usually writes the Blog and as she is away in beautiful Cancun with her new hubby I will be your resident blogger for a couple of weeks. So a quick intro, My name is Azin, I am originally from the UK and where I am from Fashion is not just what you put on your back every day it is a way of life. I work in the Midtown store and I love, love, love it. When I first moved out here I struggled to find clothes that matched my style and budget, but one lucky day I stumbled across this little gem of a store and I have never looked back since, I even managed to get myself a job here haha.
I was lucky enough to go home for the holidays and thought I would share with you all the fashions from back home. I bribed one of my beautiful best friends Madeline into being my model, I styled her for the cold months so I could give my new Atlanta family a brief idea of what people are doing with fashion across the water, and how you can still be warm and fabulous. We are so inventive with our fashion, anything can be used as an accessory or piece of clothing and I want to introduce that mentality to all of our beautiful Fab’rik shoppers. When browsing the website or visiting our stores really let your imagination run wild. You CAN wear that dress with them shoes, it IS ok to mix prints, don’t be shy be BOLD. Fashion should tell a story about the person you are!

Picking one piece of clothing as statement piece can really glam up an otherwise plain outfit. I used the trousers to really make this everyday outfit an outfit worthy of going for a meal with the boyfriend or drinks with the girls.

It is ok to cluster your fingers with multiple rings in different colours and styles. Fab'rik has some great rings to help create this look for only $22

Let your boyfriend be your style inspiration. Oversized tees with your skinnies and a chunky boot creates that grunge look that has been seen down all the major runways this season.


Layering helps create a really original look and also keep you warm on those cold nights

Make 2011 the year to develop your personal style….and if you need push in the right direction come and see us at any of the Fab’rik stores we love helping people find themselves in fashion. To help create any of the above looks is easy and at Fab'rik we can help you achieve any look you want. Please remember us on your next shopping trip,we will help to make it a real experience...

Happy New You Everybody.

Happy Holidays!

From all of us at fab'rik-- we wish you all a very happy & safe holiday season! & a happy New Year! Thank you for being our loyal customers, shopping partners, friends, & family! We wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for all you!

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

Party Perfect

We're sure that everyone is knee deep in holiday parties & events at the moment! & we know how tough it is to find the right outfit for each special occasion! So we've put together a few outfit options for all you party hoppers out there based on the event you're attending.

Whether you need something to celebrate with his parents, your girls, your co-workers or just you and your man-- we're your one stop shop!

With the parents: Remember to keep it conservative without looking like grandma. And you especially don't want to buy something that you can't wear again. We love the taupe long-sleeved dress with the sequin shoulder detail. If you pair it with tights you can make it even more appropriate with mom & dad then bare legged with the girls!

With the girls: We're totally crushing on the adorable pleated neckline strapless dress. We're always in search for the perfect little black dress & this one is flattering & practical, and can be re-worn to multiple other occasions year-round! Vamp it up with some red heels & you're ready to hit the town!

With the co-workers: Most people need to remain fairly conservative for most company affairs. We love the sheer dress with sleeves-- this way you're still dressed fun but not showing too much skin as to not offend the older co-workers ;) Even better-- you can totally wear it again to dinner with friends!

With your man (or on the prowl for one!): The uber-sexy one shoulder grey & black number is too hot for words. You'll knock his socks off when he sees you strutting out the door in this party dress!

We have all these dresses-- and oodles more-- plenty of options for all your party plans this holiday season!
