Pescadero Flowery

RIP, Pescadero Flowery. While I was writing my Pescadero Travel Guide, I made the unfortunate discovery that the adorable Pescadero Flowery is now closed! I was looking forward to coming back during the summer so I could do the pick your own dahlias that they’re known for. But sadly this cute lil spot is no more. Does anyone know of a similar flower market in the bay area where you can...

Run the World

Thanks to Zappos for sponsoring this post! Hellooo 2019! What are everyone’s New Years Resolutions? I have several that all fall under the category of taking care of myself and self-love, and one of them is to do a better job of working out while I’m traveling. I have a great workout routine when I’m at home that I’m super consistent with. But if I were to write a list of...

Ugly Christmas Sweaters Round-up

Ugly Christmas Sweaters It’s the most wonderful time of the year…Ugly Christmas Sweater Party time! I love a good ugly Christmas sweater party and hunting for a fun sweater that will make people smile (and is more on the ugly-cute than ugly-ugly side). I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite ugly Christmas sweaters, both for women and for men. This year I personally went with this...

How to wear a teddy bear coat

I teamed up with Zappos and recently got these Adriano Goldschmied jeans in the mail, and I swear as soon as I put them on Omied could not keep his hands off me! 😂 He was like, “Ooh are these new jeans?” And then lots of other comments about how great they made my booty look. 😆 But he’s right, these jeans are pretty darn flattering! I styled them in this cozy, fall look with a...

His and Hers Fall Boots

One of my favorite things about fall fashion is shopping for new fall boots! OTK, knee-high, or ankle boots—I love them all! And I’m always looking for boots that add a little height while still being comfortable and easy to walk in. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good stiletto boot too, but most of my daily commute is walking so I’m always on the hunt for fall boots that are...

About

Hey there! I'm Elise, writer and founder behind What The Fab, a travel, fashion, and lifestyle blog that shares inspiration with a pinch of zest, served with a side of real talk. I'm a San Franciscan, foodie, pilates-enthusiast (to balance out the foodie), and a firm believer that you can be of both substance and style. At the beginning of 2019, I left my corporate job at Google to chase my dreams: being an entrepreneur and helping YOU find fabulous in the everyday. I hope What The Fab inspires you to go a little bolder and live life a little fuller.

Jerome Ghost Town: 9 Things to Do in Jerome

During the last day of our recent Sedona trip, we decided we wanted to check out Jerome, a ghost town in Arizona before heading to the airport. Jerome's ghost town used to be a booming copper mining town in the early 1900's. I'd never been to a ghost town before, so I...

What to do in Copenhagen: A Complete Travel Guide

I’ll be honest, I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Copenhagen. It was the last leg of our Eurotrip, and kind of a random pick for us. Copenhagen wasn’t necessarily a place that had been on my bucket list, but we were looking for one last city to...

Hostess Holiday Gift Guide
