becca's Christmas Wishlist

By -
My Christmas this year will be a small one. Unemployment has plagued me for a year and half now (I'm sure many of your dear reader identify), which means my actual Christmas list is one of needs I would normally buy for myself but currently can't. However, it is happy and fun to dream a little. Here are some things I might wish for in a better economy.


You'll never catch me at a moment when I can't name several pairs of shoes I am drooling over. I love these green mary janes. I have a pair of green suede Mary Janes, but suede is hard to keep clean and the heel is a bit high for everyday wear. I also love these colorful oxfords. I could wear these fall colors all year.


I love cuddling up in warm winter clothes. A cozy sweater is one of the best things about winter. This sweater features dolman sleeves, which I love, and their three-quarter length will let me wear my long gloves. Also, I rely on a warm pair of jeans to make it through harsh winter winds. A nice pair of dark wash, straight leg jeans is actually on my real Christmas list, but finding a pair that fits seems like a dream that will never come true.


Since I'm currently living in Chicago, I'd like some straight skirts. The Windy City and my flouncy skirts don't quite get a long. The plaid skirt with decorative buttons and folds or the great ruffled skirt would be perfect for fitting with my girly style and battling the wind.

You can definitely update your current wardrobe by changing small things that doesn't cost much.here's a list of easy but chic DIY, always wanted to try them: http://theglamourai.blogspot.com/search/label/diy

best investment I made for shoes: waterproofing spray and duct tape. Spray new shoes to repell dirt&water therefore shoes look newer. Wrinkle duct tape on bottom of shoes for more traction, and to keep the heels from worn out so quickly.

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 ...

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.
