$150 Challenge: Rockabilly

By -
One day my husband and I were lazily surfing through the Netflix instant queue when we came across what sounded like an awesomely bad movie: Six String Samurai. The movie was actually pretty good. It was like if a choreographer, costumer, director and composer got together for a student film but neglected to bring in a writer. While the dialogue isn't exactly snappy, it's certainly the best post-apocalyptic rockabilly buddy road movie I've ever seen, and you know that's a packed genre. My stylish offering to the Broccoli Monster is a sweet $131.39.

dot shirt dress, Target $39.99
red belt, The Limited $14.62

This is a great idea! I may borrow it (and morph it into my own thing) because it's a great way to help people see how to put things together :)

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.

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.
