Mixin' it up - 2 hot looks from 1 pair of pants 2007-04-04 02:57:00 I love these pants from Mandee. Not only are they extremely flattering (wide legs slim down your thighs and make you look taller), but they are also very versatile. I threw these 2 looks together to illustrate.Glamourpuss:Forever 21 Polka Dot Blouse - $19.80Target Merona® Hobo with Flap in black - $13.49Forever 21 Courtney Kitten Heels -$16.80Forever 21 Glamour Earrings -$3.80Boho Baby:Target Audrey Hepburn Vintage Tee -$9.99Target Lulu Tote - $19.99Target Mossimo® Ginny Raffia Sandals - $7.99Forever 21 Triple Bead Earrings - $3.80The Pants:Mandee Houndstooth Welt Pocket PantPrice: $24.00 / ON SALE $11.99Total:$107.65P.S I like black. Can you tell.
Plaid Trousers 2007-04-01 04:38:00 The right shade can make plaid go from Pop Punk to Power Professional. I found these matches for designer Derek Lam's Prince of Wales Trouser at Wet Seal.L-R: Prince of Wales Trouser (Derek Lam) $790, Low Rise Plaid
Pant $19.50 (Wet Seal), Wide Waist Extended Tab Pant $21.50 (Wet Seal), Plaid Belted Pant $21.50 (Wet Seal) Read more:Trousers
V-Neck Tunics 2007-03-31 13:33:00 It isn't always easy to find an exact match for what you're looking for. I would skip colors, patterns and fabric and focus on the details.These tunics all feature cap sleeves, bulge concealing smocked elastic busts and super boob enhancing plunging v-necks. Can you spot the haute?L-R: Dot Texture Stripe Top $18.95 (Wet Seal), Double V-Neck Tunic $108 (Velvet), Houndstooth Top $9.99 (Wet Seal)
Patent Leather Peep Toes 2007-03-29 16:49:00 Name DropperThere is nothing like the classic black pump. These babies are timeless and they make you wanna do bad, bad things to bad, bad boys.Dior by John Galliano, PatentLeather
Pump - $515Show StopperMichael Antonio Black Faux Patent Leather
Stiletto High Heel Peep Toe Pumps is a mouthful for only $25.99.Check them out here
White Trenches 2007-03-01 23:51:00 White is not the easiest color to wear, but if you can pull it off, by all means do.Left: Patent Leather Coat by Jocelyn ($945)Right: Twill Belted Trench from Mandee ($40) Read more:White

Welcome to The F! 2007-02-28 14:22:00 You've seen them in all the magazines and all the label-whores are rockin' them, but you're a regular girl working your 9 to 5 and not about to spend half your salary on a goddamn pair of shoes.If that sounds familiar, then this is for you! The F is all about taking fashion off the runways and bringing it back to the streets where it belongs.The F saves you time and money by scouring the net to the farthest reaches of cyberspace hunting down trends and cutting them down wallet-size, so that you can be free to exercise your god-given right to be FABULOUS.If you have any questions or maybe a particular designer look you'd like F'd then email me at: thefgirl@gmail.com.But first some FAQ's:Who is theFgirl?- I am.Will you email me back if I email you?- Only if I like you sweetheart.Do you sell stuff?- No. I only find stuff.What is the F word?- The F word is frugal. Now go wash your mouth out with soap, you dirty, dirty girl!-thefgirl Read more:Welcome
Balloon Sleeve Tunics 2007-04-06 05:43:00 Balloon sleeve tunics are inherently frumpy IMO and unless you've been blessed with legs like flag poles, I wouldn't attempt this look with skinny jeans or (dare I say) leggings, for all you persistent 80's fashion revivalists.Instead, belt it at the bust to add a little more dimension and pair it with a denim mini (shorts or skirt) and some super sexy strappy wedges.Insert: Balloon Sleeve
Border Print Tunic $88 (Jaloux)The rest: Border Print Tunic Top $20.50 (Wet Seal), Multi Seam Waist Belt $4.99 (Wet Seal), Patch Pocket Denim Mini $24.99 (Aeropastale), Mossimo® Presta Ankle-Tie Wedge Shoes $24.99 (Target) Read more:Balloon
Rock the Frock! Sunday's Best Dresses 2007-04-08 07:05:00 How I do love these dresses from Delias. Though not much of a dress-wearer myself, Easter Sunday
brunch with the boyf and his family seems a fitting enough excuse to get all girlied out.Left: Ana Dress $44.50Right: Leilani Dress $39.50 Read more:Dresses
Patent Leather Wedges Go Bananas 2007-04-07 16:53:00 Hold the phone! There is some seriously crazy shit happening in the shoe department lately. From bright patent leather to animal prints to raffia to beady bijangley thingies to super stilettos to chunky, funky wedges and strapilicous flats, there is just so much going on and quite frankly, I'm loving it! Afterall, an outrageously fantastic pair of shoes can save face on any otherwise blah ensemble. And if you think you couldn't possibly find these designer oddities in a wallet friendly price range, think again - see what I spied at Wet Seal.Left: Patent
leather wedge, $795 (Pierre Hardy at Bob Ellis shoes)Right: Crinkle Patent Peep Wedge, $24.50 (Wet Seal) also in black, fuchia and turq Read more:Leather

Phat Fingers: Chunky Rings (Part 1) 2007-04-09 18:14:00 I've been searching for a feel-good piece, something to amp up the fab factor a notch or two. Logic tells me that whenever I'm feeling a bit blah, the remedy is to go BIG and bold so I thought what better than a nice fat gold ring? With my budget in mind, I thought I'd pay my old friend Jessica London a visit and found this gorgeous hammered style ring which is 18K gold (40 mils) over sterling silver. And I'm feeling better already!Hammered-style ring, $39 (Jessica London) Read more:Fingers

F Feature: YesStyle 2007-04-15 16:29:00 If you're shopping around for something different, something cute or a little kooky, then you have to check out YesStyle! To tell you the truth, I was a little bit iffy about this site when I first saw it, but then good lord! I just can't stay away! There is just SO MUCH STUFF it's outrageous!All their merch is from Asia (which as any true bargainista would know, is only THE shopping MECCA of the UNIVERSE), though definitely pricier than your average Hong Kong street market, you can still save yourself the plane ticket and expect to bag some great deals on literally thousands of funky fashion finds here.Shop Link: Go to YesStyle Coupon: Get $5 off your first order - no minimum!
Safari Rings 2007-04-14 18:00:00 These super cute rings from Free People are purrrfect (ok, that was lame) if you're like me and can only stand so much animal print, but at 24 bucks a pop it's not going to be an easy choice. I want them all - WaaAAaAaAaA!Go get 'em! Read more:Safari

Faded Glory Tanks 2007-04-19 13:55:00 If I were a little more devious and photoshoped these tanks tops on Paris Hilton you'd probably never know they were from Walmart. Not sure if I like the black one, but the one in apricot is definitely cute. The thing about cheap shit is you have to use your imagination and you seriously have to work it baby. What do you think?Faded

My Cafepress shop is F'd! 2007-04-18 15:04:00 Apparently there has been a bit of a stuff-up over at Cafepress so if you visit my store, you will see absolute squatageness. Sorry. Let you know when the hullabaloo is over.
Nixon Watches: The Vega 2007-04-18 14:23:00 I'm not a watch person, but I have absolutely fallen in love with this watch! Available in every color in the known universe (er... that would be 9 colors) at the Nixon
website for $60, or you can nab the perdy pink one at Karmaloop for $50. And if I'm not mistaken, proceeds from the pink watches go towards Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) so it's definitely well worth the splurge. Go get it! >>> Karmaloop | Nixon
Who the hell wears moccasins anymore?? 2007-04-20 16:00:00 These moccasins were too cute to not tell you about and even though they are dorky as hell, that in itself is a fashion statement not be messed with.Moccasin Flat Shoes $25
Marc Jacobs Inspired Quilted Handbags from Baghaus 2007-04-20 12:52:00 In case you didn't get the memo, quilted handbags aren't just for grandmas and hookers anymore. And now that every designer and his mama are doing them, I think they'll be back in fashion good books for a while. Woo hoo! I've always thought they were cute.Right: Blue Quilted Elise Handbag Tote $49.99Left: Blue Quilted Venetia Handbag $49.99 More @ Baghaus Read more:Jacobs

Tone it down! 2007-04-27 06:57:00 Bright colors burning out your eyeballs? Earth tones and muted colors will always be hot IMO and are definitely a lot more mature and sophisticated looking than this fadtabulous neon obsession they've got going on. Earth tones don't need to scream for attention because they're naturally soothing and pretty to look at. The best thing about them is that you just can't go wrong since they pretty much all complement eachother. So if you want your clothes to live out the season, take some guidance from mother nature and tone it down.Amici Rattan Stripe Bag (Plasticland) $26 - SaleBrown 25" Stretch Boy Tee (Wet Seal) $5Sunflower Chunky Lucite Bangle (Wet Seal) $6
