Anyone who knows me can tell you I have a few favorite pleasures in life: sequins, popcorn, the French Alps, Tory Burch flats-- to name a few. However, my all time favorite moments on television can be described in 3 words: award show season. My first college roommates have all witnessed the amount of joy I feel the morning of an awards' show-- I've even been known to go into song expressing my delight in anticipation of the evening: actresses yearning to leave their stamp on red carpet history. The glitz, the glamour, the fluff, the hair, the jewels, the tulle-- all coalescing together to form gowns & looks to be remembered for years!

Last night did not disappoint. After years of yawning at a sea of strapless dresses & seen-before looks, the ladies were out to make a statement at the 68th Annual Golden Globes. While the men had their football us ladies enjoyed the fashion playoffs being displayed as each gown made its way down one of the world's most famous runways. Pops of color, open backs, & sparkle always makes for an interesting night!

Best Dressed

I had a hard time narrowing down this year because I had a lot of looks I really enjoyed: Olivia Wilde in a dazzling chocolate Marchesa gown, Angelina's stylish Versace number, Claire Danes in a hot backless Calvin Klein, & Mila Kunis in a one-shouldered Vera Wang.

If I have to pick I was only able to narrow it down to two. From the awards' show vets I pick Anne Hathaway (with Rachel Zoe on her side she really can do no wrong). I can't begin to explain how much I love this dress other than: I want it. The gaga-esque shoulders, plunging back, wavy hair, neutral tone, & sequins all came together for one of the most flawless looks of the evening. Second, from the pack of newbies swarming the carpet I would have to choose Emma Stone, who if you saw her quirkiness in Easy A you wouldn't have necessarily pinpointed her as a fashion maven. Boy was I wrong. Her Calvin Klein number stole my heart (I covet it as well.. probably more practical than Anne's Armani number). The structured short sleeves, perfect open back, & coral color was a all-around-awesome combination for the fledgling actress.

Best in Shoe

No one can ignore the crystal encrusted Brian Atwood stunners Megan Fox was rocking with her blush colored Armani Prive dress-- had to point them out!

Least Fave

I couldn't resist because at this point she's so easy to pick on, but nominee Helena Bonham Carter even admitted herself she was dressing to please her 12 year old.. which needless to say probably doesn't do her any favors. While I have a growing appreciation for designer Vivienne Westwood's funky prints & silhouettes-- I think they are better suited for the runway & editorials versus red carpets.

Jennifer Love Hewitt. Why do you continue to do this to me? I can only say: prom & too much.

And I have to mention Lea Michelle's bubble-gum pink Oscar de la Renta gown just really didn't do it for me... then again I had pretty high expectations after her showstopping de la Renta from last year.

When Bad Hair Happens to Good People

Another small anecdote: I heart Sandra Bullock. In my eyes she is the end-all-be-all of Hollywood actresses. After her flawless trio of awards' season gowns from 2010 she deserved a fashion Oscar. & while I did love the pale pink, jeweled Jenni Packman dress she wore last night I just couldn't get over her exessive bangs (especially from a profile view). I just thought it was too much hair for such a pretty, light, & flowy gown.

I also usually love Carrie Underwood's all over looks on the red carpet. I think she has brought such sophistication & elegance to the country music world. Last night I wanted to focus on her beautiful Badgley Mischka gown so badly but was so distracted by the flat pieces of hair she had surrounding her face-- it was barely better than prom hair if you ask me.

Teetering Two

Last but not least I cannot ignore two of my usual favorites on the red carpet: Natalie Portman & Michelle Williams. I couldn't rationalize putting them in either my faves or dislike categories because I did appreciate their looks but didn't love them for this particular occasion. I was so looking forward to seeing what Natalie was going to bring to the carpet & was slightly disappointed by the Viktor & Rolf gown she chose, especially as the picked-to-win (and did win) contender for Best Actress in a Drama. I wasn't a huge fan the of red sequined rose however I love how she took a risk. Michelle Williams on the other had looked adorable in her Valentino- 60s inspired gown & pixie haircut. The whole look works perfectly together but I would have loved it more at a premiere or press junket but not at the Globes.

Under the Radar

Ok I lied. I couldn't just pick 2 favorites. There was one young starlet who was a presenter last night that I wish we would have seen more of because she looked dazzling. Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester was jaw droppingly gorgeous last night in her nude Burberry gown. The fabric was so yummy I wish I could touch it! Such a great way to represent the 20 somethings out there!

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.

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!
