Love or Loathe: Velvet Boots

By -
First of all, I hate the red and purple versions of this boot by Bordello. They're costume elements of the Red Hat Society circus. Despite my love for velvet and strappy boots, I'm not sure I'd buy the black ones either. I'd certainly compliment someone wearing them, but personally the toe-bow is too much.Bordello's "Whimsey" is available from Good Goth. (Sears also has them on their website which hurts my brain. I hope they're stocked in stores near the Craftsmen wrenches.)

These have amazing styling potential. I would probably be drooling over them if they didn't have that bow simply because they could be a lot edgier without it.

(Although, I don't have the kind of extra money that would allow me to buy velvet boots unless they were on an impossible clearance since there are maybe 10 days a year I could wear them outside in Michigan.)

These look like a Victorian Tea Party abducted by Tim Burton. THe only thing I can see matching this is a pair of black and white striped tights and a frilly tutu.

Not my cup of tea.

Horrid bow aside, the thing that bothers me most about these shoes is the shape of the toe box. I do love all the strappy goodness though.

I really dislike these. I think my issue with them is the low heel. If you're going that crazy, go flat or go high. A kitten heel here seems hesitant and weird.

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.
