The Horror: Patricia of Paris

By -
All I can think when I see this shiny green dress by Patricia of Paris is "They're after me Lucky Charms!" What is up with the styling in this photo? The rasta hat and knee socks are not making the ugly dress more attractive. Thinking that people would want more choices in their garish vinyl clothing, the dress is also available in yellow, turquoise and black. The black version is almost twice as much as the others, ringing in at a whopping $474!
Sadly, that is not the end of the horror. Kimora and Heatherette, consider yourselves on notice. Patricia of Paris is out for your tacky bedazzled crowns. I can't even describe what I'm seeing because the level of fug is killing my braincells. This space age homage to smoking is $600.
Ms. Patricia seems to have something against family pets, or else why drag them into her hot mess. A dress (and fringed bag!) of random pets sells (I hope not) for $537. The dog and cat dress is a mere $474.
Not pictured, because this "body of work" is giving me a serious headache, are offenses to zebras, neon skulls, and some tasseled monstrosity.

With all the fabulous Etsy seamstresses we've featured, I have to ask why Patricia of Paris is in production and good designers are still sweating over their Singers?

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
