Love or Loathe: Too Much?

By -
becca and I noticed a display of loud bags at Marshall's. We couldn't decided if they had too many do-dads and shinys. The bags, by Nicole Lee, are coated in every bit of fringe, stud, grommet, chain, skin, ruffle and metal mesh imaginable. becca liked the grey version of the bag in question but thought the pink treaded into tacky. I didn't like either, but I like some of the designer's other offerings. Their chaos seems more organized, or maybe I'm picking out the best of a bad lot. What do you think of Nicole Lee's bag designs?
The pictured bags are all available at The Buckle.

I don't know, I can't imagine myself carrying any of those. I sure love some fringe and even a load of hardware, but most of these look like someone let a little girl run wild gluing crap on bags. The only one that really looks cohesive is the yellow flower one, but that's not my style at all. I think I'd rather rock this: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=474375&CategoryID=45759

I'm not really a fan of most of Nicole Lee's bags. I did pick up a studded one at TJ Maxx that I love. I receive many compliments on it too. With designers like Nicole Lee, you sometimes have to bypass a lot of garbage to get to the diamond in the rough.

hmm...I sorta like the black and white print one with tassle drawstring.

altho right now I have too many bags (2 totes, 2 laptop totes, 2 big purse, 2 normal purse, 2 crossbody purse, 2 small purse, 1 backpack purse, 1 rubiks cube purse). The 2s are either structure vs. unstructured, or casual vs. formal.

And that's not counting big travel-ish bags (backpacks, duffles and luggage).

I usually sort by style instead of designers. For designer bags, too much hit or miss with quality and style for the price tag.

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.
