Fall 2009 Couture Favorites

Givenchy turned out a few intense styles (in velvet even!) that made me think turn of the century Turkey, then changed to bright draping. I don't understand the show's theme, but I like some of the clothes.
Sexy black lace reminiscent of vintage lingerie popped up at several shows. Wish I had detail shots of the shoes.

Speaking of lingerie, check out the half finished looks at Christian Dior. Dior never ceases to please me in the same way as the richest chocolate. Interesting that both Chanel and Dior included leopard details on their gowns and suits. Does this mean an animal print resurgence?Jean Paul Gaultier, you can dress me for an incoherent show anytime. You certainly have glam-dominatrix-alien-princess-flapper look down.Chanel is famous for suits, but I prefer Armani Prive; they bear the sexy edge of a confident woman. Plus, Armani's show always includes killer gowns for fans of slink.

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

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.
