Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2010

Who: Miu Miu
What it made us think of: Middle school girls trying to look grown up.
What we liked: The cat and bird prints will be nice broken into other outfits, big eyelashes, skin tone sheaths with sequins
What we didn't: Some of the clothes, especially with how they were styled with a braided ponytail and chunky platform shoes, came across as hipster childish.Who: Andrew Gn
What it made us think of: An emboldened museum curator.
What we liked: Lattice sandals, prim blouses, sexy stockings, fun hair for a night out
What we didn't: The complete lack of detail shots. Sequin butterflies.
Who: Giambattista Valli
What it made us think of: A marriage of Chanel and Lanvin...on safari.
What we liked: Gorgeous colorful shoes,
What we didn't: Some of the fringe looked like arts and crafts with old cassette tapes. Would it kill them to let the poor models wear bras?
Who: Lanvin
What it made us think of: The best of the 80s.
What we liked: Puffs, drapes, ruffles, shoes, bags, jewelry
What we didn't: The jumpsuits, which we fear will be on a red carpet sooner than the dresses.

That first, black Giambattista Valli dress is stunning. I would wear it until it felt apart.

Shop: Green Tree Jewelry Why We Love It: It is unintentionally "big cat" theme week here at FMF. Hence the the two sets of big cat earring featured up front. 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.

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.
