Love or Loathe: Zip Booties

By -
Like last weeks cut-out boots, there's a voice telling me to run away from these strange zipper booties by FLY London. They'll make me look shorter. They'll make me look like I'm an elf. The zips will snag my tights. Yet, they remind me of some shoes I had in high school that were so ugly they swung all the way back around to fabulous. They're available in red, olive and black, but I like the apple green best because of how the zipper contrasts. Do you like these or do you suspect I've been drinking?

I kind of like them. I'm not really sure why though.

I can see how they're teetering on the edge, but I really like them too.

Drinking? I think they look like some crusty old pencil case from 1974 shat out a heel.

Sadie, your description gave me a great big belly laugh! That's brilliant.

You hit it on the nail with being so ugly they swing right back to fabulous. They are, and they do.

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.

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

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.
