Quick Update on Song Style

We are still doing Song Style! Don't worry! For the first few Song Styles, we may not have our actual models that we hired modeling, so it may be just Blaire or Nicki. Our model's names are Elle (real name Danielle), Samantha, Katelyn, and Annabelle. In the posts we'll say who is modeling! Wish us luck with Teen Vogue and we got our camera!

June Favorites | 2012

Welcome to our first favorites post! Here we're going to say what our favorite things are this month and talk a little about them, maybe Nicki will do one, too! Right now I'm doing one, this is Blaire the founder of The Fab Gab! Usually people do favorites at the end of the month, but that doesn't help you! We always try our best to help you, thats why we started this blog!! There will be no pictures in this post because I felt a post like this needed HD pictures so we couldn't use a webcam or an old camera, our new camera is on its way back, it's been borrowed by someone else, so thank you for your patience! Without further ado, these are my June Favorites!

Makeup: My favorite makeup item right now is the tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner. It works so well, glides so smoothly on your eyes, stays all day, and the point stays sharp! I love it, I will be purchasing more of these.

Nail Polish: The best nail colors out there right now are Essie Mojito Madness and Essie Bikini So Teeny. First, I want to start off my saying that Essie is the best overrall nail polish brand. Mojito Madness is this goregous bright green, it can be edgy, classy, glam, or girly, it is an all-around color! Bikini So Teeny is such a pretty color, it's this pale blue that is to die for.

Music: I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz and Too Close by Alex Clare. I Won't Give Up is a beautiful song, with beautiful lyrics, sung by a beautiful, natural voice. Too Close is just one of those I love you, but I have to let you go songs. It tells a story and its so fun to listen to if you're happy, angry, or sad.

Hair: So, I just got a new brush and it's amazing. The CHI TURBO CB11. It's a large paddle brush and it really smooths out your hair and doesn't hurt when getting the tangles and knots out! I tend to run my fingers through my hair, especially my bangs, for a tousled look. That makes my hair really oily so the best dry shampoo I found is Rockaholic Dirty Secret. It really absorbs the oil and dirt out on those days that you don't have time to wash your hair. It also leaves a fresh clean scent!

Vera Bradley: Island Blooms has always been my favorite pattern ever since it came out so I'm still sticking with that beautiful, summery pattern. If I want something that's on sale I always get Plum Petals because it's so pretty, especially in medium sized items.

The Books I'm Currently Reading: Catching Fire is my favorite book. I'm almost finished so soon I will take Mockingjay off my shelf! I'm so excited!

Check back next month for the next favorites post!

Stay Beautiful♥

Summer Time! + Welcome Back Fab Gab!

Summer is just around the corner which means, summer fashion shopping will be necessary!! There will be no pictures put up on this post because we wanted to post right away since we didn't post in so long. We've been busy preparing for a professional looking blog! So, there will be our very own high quality pictures to come and possibly videos if we're lucky! So the top summer item you need is a swim suit. Whether you like bikinis, tankinis, or one pieces, there's always something trendy for you. Always. Be sure to get a variety of colors, so let's say you're getting three new swim suits this season, you already got one pink one and you try on another pink one in a different style, try getting a blue or purple one because you already have pink and you don't want it to look like you're wearing the same one! Also, it's good to make one a solid color, or with a light pattern. If you got a tribal print one, don't get a zebra print one if you know you won't be getting another swim suit. If you're getting three swim suits get one wild pattern, one a light pattern, and one a neutral or solid color. There will be no confusion whether or not you're wearing the same bathing suit as last time! Another summer must-have is, waterproof make-up! If you're at the beach or the pool the worst thing is having your eyeliner or mascara smear down your face or smudge on your eyelids, you'll appear tired and if it's really bad your face will be covered in black makeup. Next thing would be, a cover-up. I know if you think wearing your favorite tank will cut it, but we've learned that if you wear a tank top, even a loose one it sticks to where your bikini is and makes two round marks...so get a cover up that will be double layered or ruffled in that area or a terry cloth one that will absorb the water. Next, you need flip flops! One pair of casual flip flops and one pair of fancy ones. Either solid color or patterned flip flops for the casual with normal straps and the fancy ones meaning the straps have a bow, flower, leather knot, etc. Wear the casual ones by the pool or with a beachy look and the fancy ones when you hit the mall, go out to dinner, walking on the boardwalk, anywhere. It all depends on your look! Next, sun dresses! Casual, dinner, shopping, pool, anywhere! Sun dresses are a must have! Next, a romper! Yes, a romper. Florals, solids, jean, they have basically every pattern in a romper! Rompers are to die for on almost-hot days, you can dress it up or dress it down. They are perfection! Next, a wide variety of shorts! Short shorts, finger-tip length, bermuda, there's a big variety! I recommend getting one of each kind and get a floral or tribal pair (some kind of patterned one) and denim of course! Also get cloth shorts for the pool or boardwalk or for just chilling! Lastly, tank tops. Flowy floral tank tops to just tight solid colors. You need one of each! Pair with shorts or a skirt, and on those chilly summer nights pair with jeans and a cardigan! We hoped this gave you your basics for summer clothes! We will be posting a lot more so please keep checking back!
