Waterproof

By -
As I was driving to Chicago to see becca this weekend, the rain shifted from pelting to sheets and the semi beside only compounded the merciless situation. I began to sing "superfluous roadtrip" as my mom, sitting in the passenger seat, closed her eyes and pretended we were some place slower than the 80/90 Toll Road.

Neither of us was prepared for the weather. She was wearing a tweed jacket and I my velvet frock coat, both of which provide the opposite service to repelling water. By the end of the day, with my damp hair matted to my forehead and neck, I began to dream of some light options for staying impervious to the rain.

These are all very cute. But you know what I don't understand? Why they don't always put hoods on raincoats. I mean, it just seems like it should be standard!

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.

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 ...
