Velvet! Velvet! Velvet!

By -
As I've mentioned multiple times, I'm thrilled that everyone from Anna Sui to Alexander Wang, Dolce & Gabbana to Fendi featured velvet prominently on their Fall Winter 2010 runways. I already gave you some tips on avoiding gothic pitfalls in black velvet, but there are a few more things to keep in mind. The key word for the season is casual. This round of velvet isn't supposed to be paired with shiny satins and martinis; it's more for football games and rock concerts. Think flannel, denim, and menswear. Because this season is all about how you put it together, I'm skipping dresses in favor of separates. Here are our favorite skirts, tops and blazers and tips on how to style them.brown velvet miniskirt, J. Crew $78 (The model actually looks perfect.)
peacock burnout skirt, Top Shop $64 (Wear it with a crisp men's button down and wooden bangles.)
velvet stripe full skirt, Mod Cloth $56.99 (Wear it with a ruffle blouse and denim jacket.)
black velvet pencil skirt, BCBG Max Azria on Bluefly $49.30 (Swap it with the pants on your favorite office suit.)
purple velvet button down, Victoria's Secret $68 (Wear it with tweed shorts and oxfords.)
black velvet top with lace panels, ASOS $92.69 (Wear it with skinny jeans and studded heels.)
purple velvet sleeveless top, Lauren at Macy's $129 (Switch it with the day blouse you wore with your suit for an evening look.)
green velvet blazer, J. Crew $168 (Wear it with a structured skirt and chunky booties.)
grey military blazer, Calvin Klein $129.50 (Wear it over a floral dress.)
crushed velvet cropped jacket, Guess $108 (Wear it over a t-shirt dress.)

Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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.
