WELCOME TO THE NEW FANCY FLIRT MAGAZINE!

Description:

Welcome to the new MOLI.com home of the Fashiontribes.com Fancy Flirt Magazine!

Spring is almost here and not a moment too soon, given that we had snow in Malibu! Unfair, says this California beach baby, to find snow where she’s used to sand and waves. While winter has given us a rollercoaster ride – and it’s still here so make sure you have a great leather coat, a fab scarf and boots! – it’s fun to look forward to spring fashions with a vengeance and plot our purchases.

FASHION Start now with accessories and some key pieces and make sure you include both cobalt blue, yellow and white in your clothing palette. Check out California Style’s pick of killer dresses for spring and a hot new designer who is popular with celebrities – but that’s not why we are featuring it. Rather, it’s courtesy of Maureen’s impeccable flirty style sense.

ACCESSORIES Clothespin has the best trends in bags, belts and some jewelry. You can’t go wrong with any of those pieces (*however there will be a dent in your credit card). Fortunately, you can find similar pieces at lesser price points at Bloomingdales, Urban Outfitters and even Delia’s or Target! There’s a reason her blog is called “Shopaholic’s Anonymous.” Diana Celestine has a real affinity for shoes—and loves jewelry almost as much.

BRIDAL Bridal Beauty gets a turn with Justine O’Neill’s personal exploration into her own bridal beauty nirvana search.

BEAUTY Remember Jaws? Stella Louise explores what lurks in the water—of your pedicure - and it ain’t pretty, honeybun. So better get some SOS! Spring is time of warmer weather, and often times, humidity and rain. What’s a girl to do when she’s on “frizz alert”? Downtown Doll’s Editor, Sandra Mendoza-Daly, has the cure.

POP CULTURE Pop Culture picks up on two prevalent themes: Time’s Man of the Year by Stella Louise, and Fashiontribes’ own Editor in Chief (all hail the chief!!) covers Diesel’s latest ad campaign. When’s the last time YOU heard of a clothing company turning towards an eco-chic advertising campaign?

FOOD & CUISINE Food, Food and More FOOD!! When it comes to food trends, we find out what’s in, what’s out, and what’s about to be booted to oblivion. Julie Haire gives you a few more reasons to indulge—the three C’s. What are the “three C’s”? Chocolate, chocolate and MORE chocolate

HOME DÉCOR Fancy Flirts love to have stylish pied a terre—aka apartment, homes, condos, wherever you happen to stash your clothes and call home. Jen of Domestik Goddess gives us the “deets” on the trend toward modernism.. think of it as retro modernism if you must with the space-age feel of the Jetson with all the comforts of modern technology

TRAVEL Make plans for a vacation that’s not part of your usual itinerary, with suggestions on the best spots to check out for great, The Travel Snob unearths “under the radar” locations. (hint: celeb favorites)

BABY STYLE Julie Haire gives moms, dads and extended family members great ideas for party-time—whether it’s birthday or just a fun holiday themed event, Julie has found some nifty little things that don’t cost a lot.

FROM THE HEART Shopping with a cause! How to give without it hurting because they more you shop and spend, the more goes to a special online organization that donates to charity for every purchase you make—and you pick the charity.

SHOPPING! SHOPPING! SHOPPING! My hot picks for spring, including the best new beauty products, hot fashions, and a couple of my fave CDs. (illustration: dmu.ac.uk)
