Project Design: Arachnophobia

By -
Project Design is our own friendly competition where we put together collection of independent designers for you to rate on your very own imaginary runway.

Warning: This post contains spiders. They are jewelry spiders, but I thought I should warn you because I hate spiders. Thinking about them makes my skin crawl. Last year, I found cool web necklaces at Halloween. I thought it would be cool to do spiders this year. I thought wrong. The jewelry crafters on Etsy are far too talented at making realistic spider jewelry--at least realistic enough for me. I've only selected really unrealistic spiders or things that just remind me of spiders since my reaction to real spiders is usually screaming "Die, die, die..." until someone rescues me (when I'm alone with a spider, I have to kill it with a Swiffer sweeper covered in a paper towel--closest thing to a 10-foot pole).

Which spider-y item would you avoid squashing?

I have a deep fear of bugs but I am so fascinated by them. I just bought some little black spider earrings, that from the right distance, they look like a spider's on me. I love all of these pieces, thanks for sharing.

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 ...

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.
