Click to Follow!
Did you hear? Google Friend Connect (GFC) will no longer be available for non-Blogger user as of tomorrow. This change will definitely be affecting FabAve because this blog is hosted through Tumblr, meaning GFC (on the sidebar)will be gone and all the friends I’ve accumulated over the last couple of months will disappear. Apparently Google decided to end their support contract for GFC starting...

[Recipe] Cauliflower with a Kick!
It’s been far too long since I’ve posted a recipe, so please read along for the first of the year. In my household, our typical side dishes consist of rice, potatoes ora pasta salad of some sort. We being the grownup children that we are, the hubby and I aren’t really big into veggies, so when I do venture into that territory I have to make sure to spice things up. This brings me to...

Currently Craving: Shoe Therapy
1/2/3/4/5/6
If you’ve followed along for the almost year I’ve been blogging, then you’ve noticed that my style has changed. But that’s natural, fashion is the ever evolving art of expression and as both fashion and I change, so will my style. However something that seems to stay the same is my aversion to heels. I can’t walk in them and I totally value my comfort over how ‘fierce’ I may look....

Animal Instincts
I wanted to make this purchase for quite some time now. Animal print jeans at a low, affordable price? Count me in! We all know I like a good deal and with this trend making a splash, why not hop on the bandwagon. Even though they remind me of a trend my mom would totally wear, I can’t help but love the added spunk that these jeans bring to an ensemble. And your eyes aren’t deceiving you,...

Lace and Leather
Lace and leather are considered classics in my book. They’ve both stood the test of time, making appearances decade after decade with style. Separately they evoke totally different looks but together they create a yin and yang effect of grace and edge. I really love this outfit; it’s easy and simple yet packs a lot of punch without trying too hard.
I’d confidently say that both leather and...

Taste the Rainbow
Never underestimate the power that a splash of color could bring to your mood on a Monday morning. This dress- it did the trick to cure the Monday morning blues and helped lift my spirits throughout the entire day. I’ve never been one to shy away from color but this dress was a bit of a challenge. Was I to add more color or keep things neutral? As you can tell by the styling I went with both...

Fashion For a New Life
I have quite the exciting news to tell you. A couple of days ago I got contacted by a local blogger buddy of mine Kristianne of Fashion Route. She’s helping coordinate a benefit for the New Life Center in Goodyear, Arizona later this month and has asked me to walk in their fashion show. I couldn’t be more thrilled to accept and not only strut the runway but also be a part of such a great cause!

Neon Dreams
Happy Monday dear friends! Thanks for stopping by, now get comfy and listen up. You’ve already witnessed my non-secret obsession with stripes but I’ve got a few others, neon being one of them and polka dots being another. The trends are obviously going to be big come Spring and Summer but many fashionista’s have already been seen sporting them around.
I love the look of...

Off Day
What do you wear when you you’ve been cooped up in the house for two days and have to run errands? Apparently everything. A tunic, some chambray, leggings, loafers and a knit beanie. Everything.
On Tuesday the fella and I ventured off to Mesa to redeem a LivingSocial coupon for a Thai restaurant. We were excited to find a new Thai spot because its one of our favorite type of food....

Currently Craving: Signature Style Boutique
I’ve recently become obsessed with jewelry. Normally I like to keep things simple, usually donning on pieces of significance; you know- a family aireloom or a gift from the hubby. But all that changed when I started blogging. I started seeing chicks with great costume pieces and adding color with a statement necklace. Oh, and don’t even get me started with sites like Jewelmint,...

Obsessed
Today’s outfit is brought to you by the sponsors of STRIPES! Ok, ok, I think you get my point, might’ve gone overboard with my obsession. Stripes on stripes is not a new concept for me (seen here) but something about this combination seems fresh and unique. Maybe it’s the different size stripes on the skirt or the color of the green against the ivory or maybe I got dressed in the dark and...
