Pick Of The Week: Floral Bag

By -
Mentally, I'm ready for fall, but this springy bag managed to burst through my visions of bonfires and cider. Maybe it's because I'm dreaming of fall planting the resulting spring bloom. The "Featheroff" has an Anthropologie feel, but then it would be embroidered and $300. Instead it's a print from Aldo and only runs $45. With many colored bag, you have to try matching it to your outfit, but this bag has so many colors, it would be hard to clash with it. Red pants and cream blouse? Sure. A black sheath and yellow heels? Of course. A blue and purple striped maxi dress? Fabulous. Orange shorts with a green tank? Perfect.

How do you feel about a colorful print bag?

I love the idea of a colorful print bag, but I have a hard time finding prints I like.

I'm not a fan of this print. It reminds me of both wallpaper and a children's book that isn't as whimsical as it should be.

Yes to a print bag, but no to this particular print.

I like it because it reminds me of botanical prints from old books.

I am all for it if it is geometric or simple prints. The flowery print of this bad does remind me of wallpaper and country home.

I have a white skirt with red, orange, blue, green, yellow plaid. It matches everything. I remember seeing an XOXO white duffle purse with different colored X and O printed on it. Should've gotten it, it would've matched everything. And now I can't find it online or anywhere =(

Just a heads up, my friend got this bag and while it is beautiful and cute and the perfect size, the handles/straps broke very easily! I've had this experience with other Aldo bags with straps. So for light use, this bag is great, but otherwise, it would be wiser to invest in a sturdier bag. :)

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.
