Love or Loathe: A Whole Lot Of Shoe

By -
Wednesday's shopping post will be about animal print shoes (because I deliver like that). The process of searching for cute shoes I figured the fabulously fashionable readers of Fashion Me Fabulous would like produced both guffaws and head scratching.

In the head scratching category are these Jimmy Choo "Jazz" stilettos. Is pink leopard print too much with all the straps? Are these bold or way over the top? Too me, they're trying a little to hard to be typically "rock and roll."

On the other hand, N.Y.L.A.'s aptly named "Zoolander" platforms elicited a clear, loud laugh. Platform. Stiletto. Zebra. Layers. Jagged edges. Wow. But they named them "Zoolander." They can't be serious. In fact, I can imagine a fun girl with a big personality wearing these with a black sequin mini dress and hot pink lipstick while dancing around to The Ting Tings. In that context, I really love them.

Yeah, I'm with you. Pink animal print OR straps.

I want to be best friends with Ting Ting girl. We could share our hot pink lipstick and love for sequins.

That second pair of zebra shoes looks a lot like Giuseppe Zanotti's sandals here: http://obsessedwithshoes.com/post/Giuseppe-Zanotti-Mountainous-Satin-Crystal-Sandals.aspx - I like the GZs, but not those NYLAs.

I was actually thinking about those, but the zebra and crystal are so different. The designer version is almost understated in comparison.

Wow, extremely unusual though pretty cute. Designers' imagination has no limits.

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.
