Real World Style Stars - Femme Fatale 2007-06-18 05:00:00 Ok, so we all know about celebrity style. Yep. They're fabulous. Got it. But we're fabulous too aren't we dammit?! Yes we are. *Grin* So, in light of this, I thought I'd do something different here on The F and turn our attention to well.. ourselves. And by that I mean, you. The real world fashionistas that keep the Style
Universe turning.And our first Real World
Style Star comes to us from the land down under. 24 year old Medical Researcher, Evanescent, doesn't have any particular style influences, but she sure does love Alannah Hill - "a boutique in Australia that has lots of girly pieces", "I think there's a little girl deep inside most women that loves to play dress ups, I'm one of those who shamelessly succumb to it", and doesn't it show? Feminine, sophisticated and undeniably chic, she describes her style as "mostly girly" and demonstrates her love of all things pretty by accessorizing her outfits daily - "like most women, bags and shoes are my weakness".On drab days Read more:Femme

Girls' Night Out - Power dressing for the plunge 2007-06-16 07:16:00 Notorious for my under aged partying as a teen, I had completely outgrown it by the time I was legal. I now find myself hesitating at the door where once I would not have hesitated to dance on a table top. I used to be so much more fun ... *Sigh* But alas, my saving grace (and yours if the thought of going clubbing at "your age" makes you squeamish too) - sexy, solid, sophisticated style. Don't try to fit in with the bubble gum princesses, because seriously they have a radar for impostors. Dress confidently, take a deep breath and clear that dancefloor baby.Margaritas here I come...Glamorous Lace Corset Top $50.00Symbols of Love Charm Necklace $10Zad Gold Matte Linked Bangles $11Cotton Cigarette Pants $28Closed Back Ankle Strap Evening Sandal $42.98Black Evening Clutch inspired by Gucci $42.99-- Win Stuff -- Read more:Girls

Made For You - Custom swimwear from Harajuku 2007-06-15 07:20:00 If you're sick of embarrassing dressing room situations and fugly suits that don't fit quite right, give yourself a break! Be a style star and have one made just for you.Available exclusively online or in person (if you're lucky enough to be in Los Angeles), Harajuku
Swimwear carries a wide variety of fresh and funky styles and will painstakingly hand tailor a suit to the exact dimensions of your body!They charge a minimum of 15% of retail price for custom work, which in my opinion is a small price to pay for being able to do the slow-mo Baywatch run knowing you're not popping out in all the wrong places! Unfortunately the one piece suits are only available if you buy in person so I am just going to have to move to LA.My picks (clockwise from top left): Keyhole bandeau top: S-M-L / $44Brazilian bikini bottom: S-M-L-XL / $36Sliding Halter: S-M-L-XL/ $34, D and DD Cups/ $38Brazilian fixed-string bikini bottom: S-M-L / $40Triangle top: S-M-L-XL/$32, D and DD Cups/$36Retro tie

Zen Style - Well Balanced Babe 2007-06-25 06:10:00 If you don't like laundry, then solids are the way to go. I tend to buy a lot of basic solid pieces just because I can get more wear out of them. They make mixing and matching different outfits so much easier! Together, however, they can look indubitably drab, so you really should break up the monotony a little. Tie that color palette together with a funky complementary print or multi-colored jewelry and spread your colors evenly throughout your outfit for a well balanced look.Fold Over Gauze Pant $21.50 Tunic Tube Top $10.00Antiqued Beaded Multi-Strand Necklace $24.99Floral Rope Handle Hobo Bag $16.50 Gypsy Leather Flip Flops $9.99 Read more:Zen

Hot Date - What to Wear Vol. 1 2007-06-23 06:36:00 The F Boy decided that from now on Friday night is date night, an excuse I think, to get away from my cooking. Not that I'm complaining. :) Gives me a reason to buy more cute outfits and after a week in jeans, something fun and flirty is just the ticket to starting my weekend off right. This outfit is new territory for me because I'm not into short dresses or flats or long necklaces. Still, I got a few compliments so I must've done something right!

The Everyday Diamond 2007-06-28 06:21:00 Cubic zirconia (CZ) gets a bad wrap IMO. Ok, sooo it's not a genuine diamond, but let me tell ya, cubic zirconia is a lot less painful to lose than the real thing and as long as you keep it clean (regular dishwashing detergent works), seriously, who's gonna know the difference? Anyway, usually when I think diamond, I think ring! So here are some gorgeous Tiffany inspired silver and cubic zirconia rings from Overstockjeweler. This is optimal cheap chic!Clockwise from top left:Sterling Silver Bubble Ring $29.99Stackable Colored Diamond CZ Ring $24.99Sterling Silver Wave Solitaire Promise Ring $29.99Pave Diamond CZ Wedding Band $29.99
Red Hot Bridesmaid Dresses 2007-06-27 06:48:00 Okay, so... my brother is getting married in a month and that means, I need a dress! And of all things, they have requested that I wear a red dress as is traditionally the color of good fortune. So I've just been hunting around online and really, I'm amazed at how difficult it is to find a decent red dress!! They're either too little-girlish, too old-womanish or just straight up ho-bagish. Still, I've narrowed it down to these three which I found at Nordstrom. I'm only considering the dress on the left because it's cheap. I think it has potential, but I'm not really feeling it. The second one is more me, and the nice thing about it is I can dress it up or down and wear it where ever. The last dress is the priciest (and most slutty looking) of the 3 and I'm kinda leaning towards that. *Cheese* But I'm not sure. What do you think? Help me decide!
