Instagram is basically taking over the world. Whether you’re a newbie or you’ve had the app since it was iPhone-only, there are still plenty of tricks you can learn to enhance your photos, get more Instagram followers and get more likes on your Instagram photos. (Screenshots are from the iPhone app. Follow me @wtfab1) 1. …
When your boyfriend is an architect and ridiculously artistic, it’s easy to get discouraged when he whips up stupidly awesome pumpkins like this Billy Mays one… I mean come on. It looks like something Martha Stewart would put on her website. Geez. If you’re not as handy with the pumpkin carving tools as he is, …
Last month my boyfriend and I went on a mini-vaca with my family in Gualala. It’s a sleepy little beach town just north of Sea Ranch, which is about a three hour drive north of San Francisco. The house my parents rented was absolutely gorgeous. All of these shots of the ocean were taken from …
This time of year means fall favors, which of course means pumpkin errthang! I love me some pumpkin spice lattes almost any time of the year, but they’re especially satisfying when there’s a certain degree of crispness in the air. The only problem is, I feel a little guilty spending $5 bucks and 300 calories …
As promised, here’s the recipe for the baked kale chips I posted a pic of on Instagram. They’re super easy to make, and delicious!! They make a great snack, and instead of feeling guilty for eating an entire bag of potato chips, you can feel healthy for eating an entire bunch of kale! (Seriously, …
Last month I went on a biz trip to DC. I hopped on a red-eye flight on a Sunday night, explored on Monday, and had a day full of meetings Tuesday. It was a whirlwind trip, and it took me a couple days to recover, but it was well worth it. I’d never been to …
I don’t usually dig into heavy topics on What The Fab, but occasionally when something rubs me the wrong way, it’s nice to have this blog as an outlet (like when Kate Upton was being called fat). This is one of those times. When Covergirl announced that Sofia Vergara was their newest Covergirl, I thought …
September was packed with travel, so it was a fun-filled month, but it completely flew by. Pretty hard to believe it’s October already! (Captions read clockwise, starting from upper left) 1. Quick trip to LA means I get to see one of my best friends from high school and her super cute apartment. Love this …
Before these fun, minty duds, all my pants were a boring denim blue. I loved brightly colored pants, but I thought it was one of those trends that looked great on other people–certainly not something I could pull off. One day while shopping in downtown, I was feeling brave and spied these pastel green skinnies at Zara. …
I’m getting to that age where friends are starting to get engaged. And married. And pregnant. As someone who’s not in babyland and doesn’t plan to be for many years, it’s hard to know what makes a decent baby gift. Um, diapers? Parents need some of those, right? And unless your preggo friend has a …
I’m really digging this tank top, designed by Amos Goldbaum. And how could I not? After all it is a great depiction of one of my favorite spots in the city–Dolores Park. Amos’ freehand pen designs grace his shirts and tanks, and as soon as I saw his fun and quirky style, I knew I …
Last year fashion magazines were freaking out over “the mullet dress.” And I was anything but sold. Actually, I was completely grossed out by the idea and thought they were hideous. I mean, it’s hard to see past a name like that: I’ve felt this way all the way up until last week. I …
