Black and Blue and #BSG {Wednesday Wants}

Much like the August post featuring items for my Dream Vacation Home, these are investment pieces for the Dream Life that goes with it.  I have been ogling all three of these items for weeks now, so it only seemed fair to share.

By the way, I know it's not just me noticing that the blue Nicole Miller dress is totally a tame version of Six's red dress from Battlestar Galactica, right? Riiiight? If you don't know what I'm talking about, please see this high-quality photo of me pretending to be a cyborg next to said red dress (aka Rachel being a crazy BSG fangirl).

Vine.com Launches, But Fashion-lovers Shouldn't Get Too Excited (Yet)

Vine.com is a new eco-commerce site owned by Amazon and catering to us fair-minded folk. In fact, their qualifications for product inclusion are similar to those here at Fair Vanity.  Like Amazon, they carry much more than just apparel, offering everything from beauty products to pet food to sports equipment.

You can read the full details of what types of products they carry and why on Vine.com, but essentially, products must be:

DMV Fall Festivals 2012: My Fair Recommendations

There are several fairs and festivals coming up in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, so I've put together a collection of local happenings about which I am particularly jazzed. I'd also love to hear what's going on in your town, so feel free to leave details about all of the cool festivals in your city in the comments, my fair friends.

Fair Vanity Style Index

This is a screenshot of the little project I've been working on. I have always really liked Jessica Quirk's gallery on What I Wore because it makes it so easy to find a post or an outfit I'm looking for-- I never remember the name of a post, only what I saw, which is why her index is so genius.

My gallery is accessible via the toolbar at the top of every page, so you can always flip back to something you're looking for. I'm thinking about making a similar gallery for the non-outfit posts (collections, trends, sale round-ups) as well. Please let me know in the comments if that would be useful for you.

In the meantime, head on over to the new gallery and check it out!

Wednesday Wants: If I Weren't Baroque...

Love, love, love these brocade pumps by Jason Wu. They are the perfect fall/winter staple, and as we learned on Labor Day, Jason Wu designs and produces his lines in the USA.

I would wear these babies with everything from jeans to LBDs to pencil skirts-- they look busy, but I know I could pair them with almost anything...except my budget. If you can afford them, get thee to Net-A-Porter and snap them up!
