FabGab is Featured in See Your Style

I’ve put in a lot of time, effort and love into starting this blog so it is so nice anytime I get recognition from others and love in the form of comments from you all.  Though it has only been 2.5 months, FabGab has accummulated over 7,000 page views, 2 mentions from Polyvore, link love from fellow bloggers, fashion stationary named after me as well as an inclusion in Glamour.com with another Glamour feature on its way.  Today, I’m flattered to announce that another fellow blogger has mentioned FabGab and given me props for my personal style.

See Your Style‘s style-spotting site is founded by Simone who owns an image consultancy.  Based in NY, she teaches “the tenets of Style Therapy” and studies “classic fashion theories.”  Like all of us, she loves Sartorialist style blogs to keep up with the latest trends and savvy fashionistas who define street style.  Sounds like my Fabcam, right?

Here’s the excerpt:

I’ve been in a constant effort to improve my site as I add myself to various fashion blogging networks and learn how to market the blog.  Some of you may have noticed small changes along the way.  For instance I’ve added buttons at the end of each entry making it easier for anyone to share entries on social networking sites, I’ve added buttons for the directories and networks I’m involved with, and I’m constantly editing and adding new WordPress plugins and other tools to improve the site.  Please let me know your feedback.  What would make navigating the site easier or more intuitive?  What are your favorite features or blog categories?  What would you like to see more of?

Please leave feedback in the comments section so I can learn what works and what could use improvement.  Like with my apartment, this blog is in constant makeover mode.

Military Jackets

military jacket – Charlotte Russe, black drop-waisted dress – bought at a Korean boutique, hat -Eugenia Kim bought at a sample sale, suede booties – Restricted bought on sale $69.99,

Today, I wore my military jacket, something I bought last fall at the beginning of the season and something that I’ve sort of gotten bored of styling.  Do you ever get in a styling rut with a piece and end up wearing it the same way over and over?  Given that military is still very in for spring and given that it is still breezy enough to layer up, I’m giving my military black blazer a second chance with a little inspiration from my favorite fashion bloggers.  Sometimes when I get in a style rut I’ll do a search for whatever wardrobe piece I’m puzzled with and instantaneously, I get to see how others around the world styled an item in the same category.  Here is what my most recent “military jacket” search came up with.
LOOKBOOK.nu: I love how this Swedish beauty, Frida pairs military jackets with dresses for a play on masculine -feminine.
