Fashion Around the Web

Installation and performance artist, Robin Barcus Slonina, is making a dress for every state in the Union. She's made 8 of them so far: A corn dress for Minnesota, a garbage bag dress for New York, a prairie dress for Iowa, a casino chip dress for Nevada, Pine Cone dress for Maine, a willow dress for Wyoming, a red dress made form 28 red dresses for Illinois, and a white pine dress for Wisconsin. Follow her work on her blog: State of the Dress.

The Cut Blog has a round up of the best and worst of October fashion magazines. See highlights like details from Alexander McQueen's last collection and horrors like ridiculously priced ice climbing outfits.

If you recently unpacked your sweaters only to discover an old favorite is no longer wearable, turn it into a DIY sweater tote.

Katie, a 28-year-old blogger at Interrobangs Anonymous, blogs about her grey hair and why she doesn't dye it anymore.

I recently wrote about one-year fashion projects. The two women of 365 Fashion Rehab didn't shop for an entire year. Now, in their second year, they're blogging about shopping consciously.

Is there a fashion website, blog, or post you think we'd like? Leave it in the comments or email becca at editor[at]fashionmefabulous[dot]com.

I checked out the Dress of the State Blog. While everything is incredibly creative and challenging (I can't IMAGINE working with poker chips or garbage bags!), they all look like what they are. The garbage bag dress //looked// like a garbage back. The sponge dress looked like an old sponge. I think it would be cooler if she actually reworked them. It's sad to say, but I've actually seen better garbage bag dresses.

But maybe that's not the point.

Not only do I LOVE the name Interrobangs Anonymous, but that's also a well-written piece.

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.
