Love or Loate: Barrettes

By -
Barrettes were all over the spring runways...

Do not want. All I can think of is Elaine Benes and her fizzy poof pulled back from her face with a sad little clip. They never held my hair well, even at it's curliest, but they always managed to rip out a chunk in the hinge.

I can imagine a black or tortoiseshell clip working well accenting a French twist, but as a ponytail replacement? And the more elaborate barrettes, like these Cuteberry barrettes available at yesstyle.com, are way too twee to get near my baby face.

Are you excited about the resurgence of the barrettes or will you keep the hinges off your head?

The only thing barrets are good for is keeping my curly hair well fed.

Not friendly for curlicues!

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.
