HOW WE DOIN?!?!?!?!..A FunkyFanny's Field Trip experience..

Team FunkyFanny's ventured to the Hot Pink Leopard printed haven of the
"How u Doin" queen of TV, Wendy Williams

WOW..HELLZERYEAHZER..and more WOW
are the only words that could possibly express the level of enjoyment we had..

From the 9am dance battle to Wendy in her full fabulosity(MS.HONEY SERVED IT BTW!) to the passionfruit mimosa partaking after the show..
WE HAD A BLAST!!!

As you know..FF Field Trips are normally for large groups but unfortunately we were limited to a small number of tickets (Wendy's show is on FIRE right now)
so we grabbed some of our FavFanny's and did the damn thang!

Now before you go thinkin about all the reasons why it sucked that we couldn't bring along more of our FavFanny's(cuz it did) trust in these words..

BABY..WE..SERVED..IT!


In True FF style, our ladies came effortlessly fabulous and looked AMAZING!

Feast your eyes upon the experience!

FunkyFanny's tip of the day..

Have you ever found a great Vintage piece that's missing buttons?

We have..and boy oh boy can it be a bummer!
Don't fret my dears..There's a simple solution for that.


Remove the existing buttons and add new ones or Vintage "new" ones

BAM!! 
An old classic with a modern twist or an old classic with an old classic twist


Either way..It's a WIN!


Search your local fabric and arts and craft stores
They have loadsa buttons..cool ones too we bet..

Give Ebay and Etsy a peek too..

We've found some AMAZING choices there.

 So Go..Be one with the button universe and make that fab new find work for you!

I scream You scream We all scream 4 Ice Cream..

It just so happened to be an extraordinarily sunny afternoon when we found ourselves taking a quick break from prancing around in the vintage wonderland to
go on a quest..For one of the most delicious treats any girl could ask for on a sunny afternoon... ICE CREAM!!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem called The General Greene on Dekalb Ave in Brooklyn.

Here we met Liz..the ice cream goddess.

She was posted behind her tiny ice cream cart with her security bulldog Oliver

(He watches over the ice cream cuz ya never know when ice cream thieves could strike!)




She let us taste a sample before indulging in two scoops of our choice. Never in all the years of living on this green earth have I tasted ice cream that was so pure and smooth...I thought I had died and gone to ice cream heaven!!

Liz briefed us on why The G.G. is so unique. For starters they don't use eggs!!
This makes for a more powerful flavor..
It's definitely lighter on the palette and still leaves an impact on your taste buds.

(Liz served me up two scoops of vanilla coconut almond ice cream on a sugar waffle cone.)

We asked Liz about her favorite flavor,and it didn't take her long to choose..
"Brulot Chip!"

 Brulot chip is inspired by the famous New Orleans coffee. It's a dark roasted creole coffee thats spiked with brandy, spiced cinnamon, and orange peels chocked with delicious chocolate chips.
Y-U-M

Such a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
We walked..chatted with Liz over ice cream..she showed us their supercute ice cream cone t-shirts and we
 pranced back to the vintage wonderland with happy hearts and tummies.



Oh by the way!!
Oliver the official ice cream security dog wants you to know that
even though the weather has changed you are more than welcome to come inside and enjoy their ice cream no matter the season and "WOOF" (his words not ours ;-)

Peace/Love/Free Hugs

Haiku 5-7-5 by FoxyFanny..Fall days

Fall to me means
Brisk days, leaves turning gold,
wearing my favorite vintage leather jacket wrapped in my beloved rose printed scarf,
and cozy days filled with hot chocolate.

A haiku to fall days

Dry leaves on the ground
Ponchos, jackets, coats and hats
The city breathes cold

FunkyFanny's tip of the day..

Invest in a great tailor.
You get the benefit of wearing a unique Vintage piece that fits you perfectly.
SCORE!

We all have different body types..Some bigger here others smaller there..
It's just the way it is..so turn that "It doesn't fit me" frown upside down..There's hope!
A tailor can create the perfect silhouette for your body..and believe you me..
A good one is worth their weight in gold



So don't give up on that dress that's 2 sizes too big..
Customize it,Channel your inner Goddess,and STRUT Ms.Thang!


Big "make it work" hugs

FF Street Style on Essence.com...

 At FunkyFanny's...It's quite simple..
We Love Vintage but we Loooooooove our Ladies!
Whether you’re fam..the girl next door..top of the charts recording artist..or a lover of all things vintage..
We spread love cuz it's the Brooklyn way!
And we love seein' our ladies get some shine for being oh so fabulous!

 FavFanny,Kiyama was spotted in FF by Essence Magazine for their
"Street Style,transitioning wardrobes from summer to fall" piece.


(Kiyama in an Amazing FF Neon Paisley jumper..WERK!!)
Thanks for the love Kiy!!


Of course we're biased,but we believe that vintage is the perfect addition to any wardrobe..
There's transitional treats in every season..

Here's some of our favorite tips to go from summer to fall..


1. Layering ..Pair your favorite summer top with a blazer,jean jacket or poncho for instant chic.

 2. Electric colors.. Dare to go bright..including neons..Add a punch of color to a neutral wardrobe..Orange,Lime Green and Yellow all go great with fall browns & blacks.

3. Rock animal prints..Use Zebra and Leopard print as a main ensemble piece or an accent..A leopard wrap dress..A zebra print clutch purse or bangles.

4. Create a signature look/style..What's your guilty pleasure?..Purses,Shoes,Jewelry?.. Focus on your strengths first and then build from there..People will take notice and all that extra attention is sure to put a smile on your face HOT STUFF!

5. Don't be afraid to step outside the box..It's fashion!It was meant to be fun..Experiment with different styles until you find one that you like..or dabble in all of 'em..Bohemian,Rocker,Urban with a twist..The options are limitless.


Peace/Love/Free Hugs

Saturday Night Fever

Not too long ago, I found myself watching “Saturday Night Fever” with my mother. For the zillionth time she sat there telling me stories of her disco days.

‘Ol school memories of her dancing days where she'd throw on her best chiffon silk party dress along side my father, who would take her to parties and dance the night away.

You know like when 'Tony' and 'Stephanie' shared their special dance and left their hearts on the dance floor, dancing away to the classic song "More Than a Woman” by The Bee Gees.

It's vintage music that will forever remain timeless in my heart. Here’s a look at one of my favorite parts of the movie..

Midnight Riders

"Midnight Riders'


With the days getting shorter, colder, and darker earlier were welcoming fall and all it has to offer.

Brace yourselves for a darker side of Hellz Bellz with their Fall II Delivery.

This time around they’ve composed an edgier side towards their second installation for the fall looks.

For days where you can’t beat the chill crisp air, you might as well join in on the fashion fun with their pull over jacket which features a hood that can be hidden in it's collar.

The ‘Midnight Riders’ theme gives off a ‘boss lady’ appearance with a fashion forward edge. By using colors like Pewter grey, fire red and a new twist on the all black look.

Our vintage contribution adds to the warmth for those chilly fall days approaching us all. . .









(Vintage Fur stole) $160



Big shouts to: FavFanny, Rose Garcia , who styled all the amazing looks for the fall lookbook.
