FabCam – New York Fashion Week Fashionistas

If you see yourself here, please comment with your outfit details!  This is part 3 to my New York Fashionista-round-up from New York fashion week. So if you don’t see yourself here, and you know I shot ya, check out post 1, and post 2 before you get mad.

“Who wears short shorts?” As the Nair commercial sings, who wears short shorts, this girl screams that she does with her bright orange pair.  I like that she balanced out the shortness of her bottom with a longer sleeved, classic white blouse.

This fashionista had the same idea pairing her short shorts with a white longer-sleeved blouse.  Aren’t you loving the shoes and the Chanel?

Running along the same shorts and white blouse theme, Alexa Winner, a NY stylist, stuck out from the crowd even across the way when I spotted her at one of the fashion shows.  She told me her blouse was from Thailand when I asked if it was vintage.  I love how she modernized and Westernized it with the jean cut-offs and leopard pumps.

This fashionista had a cool French accent.  I loved her blazer and thought her oxfords were so unique!

Lace is a big fall trend this year.  This fashionista proves that lace doesn’t have to look traditional or “grandma.”  She balanced out its frilliness with a modern black blazer, added sparkly shoes and fun ethnic earrings which gave the whole look a quirky new spin.  I love it.  For  more inspiration on how to wear white lace and see how others wear their white lace dresses, check out my earlier blog post.

Oh my gosh, I just realized that I shot this blonde fashionista twice on two separate days.  I guess I really do like her style! haha, she is the one wearing that fab lace blouse in this post above!  Ok so which outfit / look do you like more on her?

This woman’s sleek and minimalist look really interested me.  I found her so chic. What do you think?  I would love to know how long this Canadian stylist lasted in those fab heels.  Those look like the 2-3hour type.  Fashion week is hard on your feet, ladies!  I know I planned out each day’s outfit by examining the shows’ locations, how far I’d have to walk combined with the estimated time in line that I’d have to stand + how many hours I could teeter in each potential pair of shoes.  It’s a complicated fashion equation.

This woman was wearing so many of this season’s trends -and wearing them right!  Check out her cute cropped pants, the cross-body purse and her take on “geek chic!”  I love geek chic and wrote about it when it first came out here.

Speaking of cross-body purses, check out this fashionista’s simple but graceful look.  I loved that it looked vintage-inspired and featured the cute bow with a little bit of sparkle.  It looked totally like something I might wear.

FabCam – New York Fashion Week

As part II to my earlier Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week fashionistas post, this post will feature fashionistas caught by my FabCam.  For those of you who don’t already know, I shoot fellow fashionistas whose style I admire and take interest in.  There’s no fashion bashing here.  It’s all love!

Below is a lovely blonde who was wearing what looked like a vintage-styled blouse with Fall’s trendy snakeskin and the Valentino shoes that I’ve been dying for.

The blonde pictured above is a fellow blogger.  What caught my eye about her (besides her striking beauty) was that striking leather jacket.  But I love how she paired it with a swingy, simple dress, cute booties and a clutch that offered a bright pop of color.

Okay, so there are a lot of blonde beauties walking the tents of New York Fashion Week.  This one was a bit of a risk taker.  Check out those shoes!  They’re what I’d imagine an ultra-fabulous astronaut might rock.  I thought her outfit was super fun in that stunning color with the polka dots peeking out – polka dots are super trendy this fall.

I’m looking at this one and I’m thinking, model?  She certainly had the height and skinniness down and like much of whom you saw within the tents was some amazing eye candy.  Don’t you love her mustard colored Prada?  Mustard is a trend color this fall and this girl included it with professional ease.  The little fitted jacket looks great with the printed dress (is that Missoni?) and paired with those funky boots.

If you’re a regular reader, you know how I love Chanel purses and the black and white color theme so it’s no wonder this fashionista’s outfit caught my eye.  In Rachel Zoe’s words, those booties are “ba.na.nas!”  Readers, you should know that I’m up for selling my Chanel, calf-skin, chain-link purse.  just click here to check it out!

Since I’m on a roll with the blondes, I figured I’d make it the running theme of this FabCam post.  This lovely blonde reminded me of me.  She made a boo boo under her left knee!  I wore a band-aid like this for weeks after falling in my heels.  I blame the uneven concrete sidewalk.  (should have sued lol)  But ok back to the fashion.  Do you not love the mix of rough and casual (i.e. the military jacket) next to the elegant silk sheath and sparkly necklace?  Talk about casual cool.

Ok so who is your favorite?

FabCam – NY Fashion Week 2011

Part of the fun of fashion week is simply admiring what everyone else is wearing.   And you can bet that my FabCam was out in full force to document all the fabulous fashions as it has in the past.  Usually, I blog about them according to some sort of theme.  Fashionistas, if you see yourself here, it’s because I enjoyed your outfit and liked your look.  Please leave a comment here with your outfit details and a little information about yourself.  What / who were you wearing?  How would you describe your look and what do you do in the fashion industry? For those of you who had your picture taken but don’t see yourself here, don’t fret.  It’s only ‘cuz you weren’t wearing animal print.  But if I shot you, you have  my fabulous seal of approval!  Check back soon because I’ll be posting more pics of fashion week fashionistas in my upcoming posts.

Here’s a roundup of some of the animal prints that I saw everywhere.

Which outfit was your favorite? And what do you think of the popularity of animal prints?

Fab Finds – Rain Boots

The joy of putting together an outfit that expresses who one is and how one feels at the moment can be deeply satisfying to us fashionistas.   If you’re reading this blog, I’m sure you can relate to the mini-epiphanies I’ve experienced that result from simply matching disparate wardrobe pieces and accessorizing in a previously untried way.  Have you had those Einstein moments where for a silly second you can’t deny your own brilliance in styling? I confess, it gives me a high, a cheap one at that I know, but so what if it can convert what should be a mundane day of errands into something a bit more special?

Some days however, dressing up isn’t exhilarating OR liberating OR identity defining.  Some days you face a wardrobe crisis and you never know when it will hit.  The challenge I faced all week was the non-stop NY rain.  It’s hard to feel fabulous when you know your hair is going to fall flat or turn frizzy.  And it’s hard to have fun with your outfit choices when thoughts of what to wear are dominated by restricting priorities like figuring out what will keep you from feeling cold, wet and clammy.

Luckily, there are fashionable rain boots of all styles, colors and price points to keep us warm.  This week, my eyes have been on the lookout for the best in wellies. From shopping down 5th Ave. to shopping online, here are my fab finds!

Henri Bendel offers these stripe-lined, rubber wellies for $88.  They used to offer brown and white as their only two colors but now they offer hot pink, yellow, red and black.  Which ones would you get?  Aren’t they super cute as well as being affordable?

If you like red boots, check out these Hunter Jimmy Choos!  I love the leopard lining.

Juicy makes a cute printed Wellie for $110 that would look great with a khaki trench.

I’m a sucker for Chanel – anything so my heart pumped a little faster when I spotted these yesterday at Saks. A tougher Chanel boot shown below will cost you $365 and would look great contrasted with a girly or frilly dress.

Here’s a Chanel-like quilted boot by Marc Jacobs($285) that is great if you want a little heel.  I’d wear the black ones with my St. John’s black patent leather tote.

For the Gucci girl there are these modern takes on the wellies that look super comfortable.

These Fendi boots would go great  with my tote bag.  lust!

And of course, who can forget Burberry when talking about anything to do with rain gear? The below accessorized versions are my favorites and are a refreshing change from their usual plaid.

$395In my next post, I’ll show you a couple of the rainy day outfits that I finally settled on .  Did any of you face wardrobe and styling challenges this past week?

FabCam – Topshop

Filed under: Fabcam — Tags: , , , — fabgab @ 10:38 PM


This weekend, I took my out-of-town friend to see the famed, Topshop in NYC’s cobble-stoned Soho neighborhood.   It’s one of my favorite NY stores with its trendy and sometimes over-the-top details.

I love the chairs from their shoe department (could do without the rug though)

Luckily, I had my camera on me because fashionistas flock to Topshop.  Here’s what my FabCam spotted:

If you were one of the spotted fashionistas pictured here, please comment on your outfit details (item description, price, brand, how you’d describe your style).
