The Horror: Sullying Coach

By -
I've had a classic Coach saddle bag for almost a decade. I love the cross-body strap, supple leather, and shiny hardware. Even though it's not one of their modern logo bags, people constant stop me to ask if my purse is a Coach. The shapes the bag and latch are distinct. So distinct that Susan Nichole shouldn't have tried ripping them off for this fringed, embossed nightmare. She certainly took the idea of a saddle bag to it's rhinestone cowboy extreme.

Actually, I like the embossing. I have a wallet from Relic that has an embossed paisley pattern in subtle tones like that. But the fringe takes it from cute to WHAT IS THAT. Can I cut off the fringe and just have the bag?

Wow, for the majority of this post I thought you were saying THAT was your purse. I was creeped.

What item do you get complimented on the most? I think it's interesting to see the weird things people tend to pick up on. I have a big, bright bright green purse that I get stopped for all the time. Actually, my boss asked about it today.

I'd be creeped too!

Women most frequently compliment my dresses and jewelry. Men compliment my heels and even ask where I buy my shoes.

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.
