London Fashion Week Favorites So Far

By -
I'm not familiar with Eley Kishimoto, but I love the chaos of prints. Printed tops and skirts, printed dresses, and printed tights and shoes! This collection is pure fun and whimsy.Speaking of fabulous prints from designers I've never heard of, check out the blend of Japan and 80s pop art at Basso & Brooke. (Does anyone else think platforms have reached ridiculous heights?)becca wrote about the princess gowns shown in New York, but I find them rather dull. Red carpets have grown dull with starlets relying on a generic pretty instead of infusing themselves with any sort of personality. (Of course, that applies to the little girls who are considered stars these days anyway. *cough Jessica Alba cough*) Roksanda Illinic makes the sort of skewed pretty dresses I'd like to see on an actual star like Cate Blanchett. Sure people would talk, but most people would secretly wish they had her confidence.

I love all the crazy prints- so happy!

The thing that bothers me about those dresses in the last set of photos is that I immediately think, "I could make that in ten minutes or less with old clothes and fabric scraps." Although I agree that confidence is everything no matter what you wear.

Roksanda's work does look haphazard at times but in person you can see it is beautifully made

However, this shop has a lot more to offer than cats of all sizes. These laser cut wooden earrings range from fun swirling designs to intricate peacocks. Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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.
