Super Chic

By -
The outfits that showed up for the Met Ball's superhero theme did not inspire me, but this summer I've had superheros on the brain with Iron Man, The Dark Knight (must see a third time!), and rereading my Sandman comics. I've been putting together hero influenced looks in Polyvore, and I think if you're gusty enough, you could pull it off for fall. The key elements to mix and match are boots or some other tough looking shoes; a cape, dolman sleeves, leather jacket, or long coat; something to obscure the eyes like sunglasses or dramatic makeup; gloves; a big belt; and pants or shorts so your legs are free for kicking baddies. Hard or glossy materials are a must. You can spare yourself the cost of leather with other shiny fabrics like satin, rubber or sequins. Just avoid anything that looks cozy. Superheroes don't snuggle.




Would you ever try to wear something so costume-like in real life?

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.
