Beautiful Burlesque Nails!

Burlesque the movie is soon to be in theaters and we can't be more excited. With all the glitter and amazing costumes, this movie is sure to be fashion buzz. Not only are we excited for the movie because some of our favorite celebrities are staring in it (Cher and Christina Aguilera), but OPI Nails has just came out with a line to go with the movie. All of the polishes have cute names to go with the movie including, "Ali's Big Break," "Bring on the Bling," Let me entertain you," and "Rising Star."



Check out some of the swatches and then head over to your nearest beauty supply store or nail salon and try out these shades. We are personally rocking the "bring on the bling" which is an assortment of glitter colors with a main tint of gold.

If the pictures aren't enough to sell you on these colors, check out this video showing swatches of the colors!

Calling All Disney Divas!

Do you love Disney as much as we do? We sure hope so. You know who else does? Forever21. They will soon be coming out with an entire line devoted to Minnie Mouse called "Minnie Muze." We here at Fab Fashion Fauxs are so excited for this! Adding a little bit of Minnie Mouse to your closet or your outfit will add just a touch of girly but young and flirty flare.

Forever21 has done some Disney character items in the past but never an entire line dedicated to the famous mouse! Check out the look book here and get excited for the new line! We know we will be rocking it the second it hits the stores and hope you will too.

Don't forget, to get this look, you don't need to be wearing the grafic tee with Minnie on it. Other ways to get the look would be by wearing a large black, red or polka dotted bow in your hair. Also, try the red and white polka dots on a dress or top. This gives off the idea of Minnies famous style without wearing the cartoon on your chest.

Glittery Pumps- Get Glam for Less

With the holiday season right around the corner, the glam look is back. Now for a fabulous fashionista, glam is never out, just toned down in the summer time. But again, since its fall and becoming winter, we're breaking out the sequins, beading and, of course, GLITTER! Personally, I love wearing anything with an extra shine to it but there are ways to be subttle. For example, everyone has been loving these glittery pumps from Steve Madden. You can wear them with a crazy glamorous outfit, or just a little black dress. Either way $129.00 on a pair of incredible shoes like these would not be a problem, at fab fashion fauxs, we are always looking for a better deal.



At GoJane.com, we found some simalar pumps for a fraction of the price! For only $25.70, you can get the glitter glam look and shine up an outfit. This seemed like a better deal for a pair of shiny shoes that once the seasons over, might be hard to wear.



Have fun with this look and dont forget to stay Fabulously Faux,

One of the most popular handbags for a while now is the Balenciaga City handbag. Worn by all the celebrities, this bag goes with anything and everything. It comes in all different sizes and colors that fit any fashionistas style.



Balenciaga was founded by Cristobol Balenciaga who is a spanish designer with his headquarters out of Paris. He is known for creating avant-garde structural pieces and amazing trend forcasting. A great trend that he founded is this handbag worn by Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, and many more A-list celebs.

No problem though, thats what we're here for. We have found a bag that looks identicle to the designer version. At AMIclubwear.com, any fashionista can purchase the faux for only $45.99! This is a steal for the same high fashion look. Pair this faux with anything you want. No matter what you do, people will stop and stair at this timeless piece.

Shoes for Thought- Christian LouBoutins

I was in Neiman Marcus today and saw some literally jaw dropping shoes. My heart stopped. These shoes are all Christian LouBoutin and are some of the most popular shoes right now (for those who can afford them). You can find discounted Christian LouBoutins at the ChristianLouBoutinShoeStore. Here are some photos of these works of art. Although these are not fabulously faux (because they can run you over $3000 each) definitely worth gushing over. Enjoy!

Sweats for Less

Every fashionista likes to be fashionable while being comfortable. A brand that has honed in on this concept is Juciy Couture. Juicy Couture was started in 1994 in Los Angeles, CA. Not only does Juicy Couture carry a clothing line, but they are also known for their cute bags, jewelery, perfumes and trinkets. One thing that is a big trend worn by celebrities is their track suits. In all different colors with differet designs, these track suits are most recognizable by the "J" on the zipper.



To get one of these pricey sweat suits, you've got to pay a pretty penny. These track suits can run you around $100-$200. Although these are fabulous and comfy, to a fashionista on a budget, spending that amount of money on sweats just dosen't make sence.





But no problem here! Old Navy has your velour sweats covered. For only $16 a piece, you can pick up a faux of the Juicy Couture sweats in multiple colors! With the same comfort and style, these track suits are the way to get the look for less.

Pair either sweat suit with a cute tank and some cool accessories and you'll be a fashionista in a snap!

Good luck with this look and stay fabulously faux,

Crazy For Combat Boots!

A big trend we are seeing this season is the combat boot. Wether you dress them up for dress them down, these boots will add a bit of edge to any outfit. Fashionistas have been seen wearing this boots with leggings, shorts and even skirts and dresses. They are a great staple piece for any closet.



Theses boots come in many size, tall or short, and in different colors, in brown, grey or black! Either way, theses boots go with pretty much anything. We have found a few pairs for under $100 that will help you complete the look. Get a great pair from BP at Nordstrom for only $89.95. Getting them from Nordstrom, you know they will be good quality. Also, just a little tip, when purchasing at Nordstrom, they have one of the best return policies.



Another pair of boots we found for even less of a price are from Charolette Rouse. These combat boots are only $40, but if you buy them soon, they are onsale for only $30!

Be sure to pick up some of these boots to add the edge to your style.

Breakfast or Bargain at Tiffanys?

Everyone loves a nice piece of jewelry from Tiffany and Company but not everyone can afford it. Tiffany and Co. is one of the worlds most well known jewelry companies in the world. Started in New York City in 1837, Tiffanys is known for diamonds and amazing pieces of jewelry. When Tiffanys was started, it was actually knonwn as a stationery and fancy goods emporium. Now, we all know this is not the case.



Tiffanys has been carrying a line of Paloma Picasso for a while now and she has made some unbeileveable pieces for the company. Like this delicate "love" necklace that just came out and is one of the hottest pieces of the season. As cute as it is, $150 for a little necklace might not be worth it to everyone.



We have found a necklace simalar to the Tiffanys one that is only $1.50 from Froever21! Talk about a steel! Although this piece is not real silver, it will do its purpose and add a little bit of flare to your outfit.

Platform Pumps at a lower Price!

Love Steve Madden but not his prices? That's the same with us here at Fab Fashion Fauxs. Although Steve Maddens prices are not as bad as some of our other favorites like Lou Boutin and Christian Dior, but still alot on a fashioninstas budget.

Steve Madden was founded in 1990 in Long Island, NY. Mostly known for their amamzing shoe collection, Steve Madden also has handbags and accessories. But back to their shoes. Not only are these shoes found in Steve Madden stores all over the world, you can also find them in major department stores like Macys and Nordstrom. Those places are all helpful to know about if your planning on spending over $100 on these kicks. Looking for a less expensive way to get the look? Look no further. We have found some look a likes for half the price!




Check out these fauxs we found on LuLus.com. These pumps look pretty much exactly like the Steve Madden shoes except you know you paid less! Always a great confidence booster. The Steve Madden pumps will run you aroun $100 while the shoes from LuLus are only $32! Not only are the shapes of these shoes so original but can be worn with anything because the color is so versitile.

Chanel or Charlotte?

Chanel is one of the most well known and classic brands known in fashion. Founded in Paris, France, Chanel has been around since 1909 and was founded by the late COCO Chanel. These classic and glamorous designer clothing and accessory items are timeless and unfortunately VERY expensive. Specializing in clothing, shoes, handbags, makeup and perfumes, Chanel is one of our favorite looks to recreate. This look can be worn by pretty much anyone because it is so classic and classy.

Charlotte Rouse, known for reasonable prices and great deals for teens and women, can help any fashionista recreate a Chanel look for less... way less. The way that Charlotte Rouse describes this look is "Society Glam" which in our opinion is the perfect term. Chanel is known to be worn by the high society and is very glamorous but that doesn't mean that a girl on the budget can't get the look as well!










Shown here is a jacket and bag from Chanel, this is of course gorgeous and breath taking but the price is something that will really take your breath away. A jacket like this from Chanel will cost you around $4710. Not a price that most people are willing to spend on one piece. As amazing as it is, how many times and how careful would you need to be with one designer jacket. Also shown here is a Chanel bag. This cute and classic purse is something that goes with everything even if your wearing a trash bag. These simple vintage handbags will never go out of style but still, the price is something that will knock your socks off. Chanel handbags run from $200-$20.000.










No worries though, we have found a way to recreate these Chanel looks for under 100 bucks with jackets, handbags, and even jewelery! Check out these pieces from Charlotte Rouse that will have you feeling like a high society classic Chanel chick. These pieces range from $10.50 to $36.50.

Enjoy creating a look that works for you. Just remember to stay fabulously faux,

Go Bananas for Burch!

Tory Burch is one of the latest and hottest designers right now.
