Fall Essentials Debriefing

By -
Sorry, ladies, but we were soundly beaten on participation for the $1000 fall wardrobe mini-editor contest presented by Polyvore. As I wrote this post, we had around 150 entries to another blog's 1800 and I don't even know if that blog won.

On the plus side, we had far more participation for this contest than any of our other contests. A big thanks to lemonmuffin, Cheshire_Cat, slvrwhispr, meshamesh, japan_books, chickface, Jordan Jeffry, Jemma Hill, versetle1, RachelLeLambes, Miss Mockingbird, jlmidkif, reneen 1956, Hennie Henne Baby, Fashion Mission, 1HotReel, endinfire, charmedchick, and shinyainlace for participating.



We'd like to know what you thought of Polyvore's new mini editor. Would you enter a contest in this format in the future? Was it easy to use for those of you who've never used Polyvore's editor before? If you've used Polyvore before, did you miss some of the usual features? Was the selection of items too much or not enough? Did you even know we had a contest going or were you tired of hearing us promote it?

For me the mini-editor was too mini, but that may have just been me. I didn't look for a way to make it bigger if that were possible. :) And I liked the idea of the contest and I believe you promoted it enough. However, either I'm not in the target audience for the clothes, or I'm just not a fall person (maybe both), but I wasn't inspired at all by the clothing selection. :( They were good basics, but I didn't feel like I had much range or options. (Or am I missing part of the rules to the contest?)

I thought it was too small too. When I tried to make it bigger, the edge ended up getting cut off. To make it bigger, we'd have to overhaul our blog layout.

The clothes were supposed to be relatively basic. After all, the idea is to be able to wear those clothes all season.

Thanks for the feedback!

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.
