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

Outfit Ideas: 4th of July festivities!

Everyone loves the 4th of July: a day off from work where you can indulge in some BBQ and brew while watching fireworks with family and friends. Every girl wants to look her cutest no matter what she gets into on the 4th, so see below for outfit ideas for every Independence Day celebration!

Backyard BBQ:
Look adorable and stay on trend in an aztec red and blue top and classic denim skinnies. You'll stay comfy while looking totally put together!

Beach Party:
If you're lucky enough to spend the 4th by the ocean, look the part in a breezy maxi with summery stripes and accessories. Easy enough to wear your swim suit underneath and voila - you're ready for some fun in the sun.

Late Afternoon Pool Party:
After a dip in the pool, having a change of clothes will make you feel like a true fashionista. Slip into a flowy sun dress and sexy heels for an effortless look. Skip the blowdryer and throw on a cute fedora - totally effortless chic.

Rooftop Fireworks:
During these dog days of summer, it doesn't get dark until around 9pm, which means you have plenty of time to grab a cocktail with the gals at a rooftop bar before taking in the fireworks. Colorblock with festive colors and summery stripes and be sure to top it off with a chunky necklace. GORGE!
