Jael's Christmas Wishlist

By -
My husband and I decided to buy ourselves a "couple gift" of DVDs we can't believe we don't own, but I still find myself window shopping and dropping hints.

I'm shoe crazy this Christmas. The red Dublin oxford from Naturalizer is the ideal fall shoe! Great color and texture with a nice, walkable heel. Also from Naturalizer, the Caliber would be the perfect replacement for my beloved brown shoes from the same store. In the squee category, Sofft's Oriole comes in several colors, including a beautiful navy. I want to wear them with mustard tights and my brown tweed tulip skirt.
So far, I've read 16 books this year. (Pitiful. Last year 's total was at 32.) One of my favorites was Extreme Beauty. I can put it on my shelf by the copies of Color and The Classic Ten I'm still waiting for.

As I've mentioned with posts about arm warmers and hoodies, it's freaking cold at work. I have scarves, but I need something short and secure. These scarflettes from Flutter on Etsy would do the job in style. I just bought a couple dresses to wear at work (look for those to appear on our Facebook page soon), so I need to cover my bare legs. Cute button leg warmers would keep me warm and let me break free of boots once in a while.
Some of my cute clothes just can't be worn at work, so I'm looking into wilder makeup. I'd like to find some dark eggplant lipstick from Illamasqua at Sephora and deep green eyeshadow from Lime Crime in my stocking. (FYI: Lime Crime eye shadows are now 15% off!) My goal is to work a gothy peacock look. Since my coworkers have hair in various shades of violet, blue, burgundy and pink, I'm not sure anyone will even notice.

What are you hoping to find under the tree?

I have those navy Soffts, and I LOVE them. Ooooh, pairing them with mustard tights and brown skirt? Genius. GENIUS! I am going on the hunt for mustard tights immediately. Thank you for the inspiration!

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.
