The Horror: Vajazzling Without The Commitment

Balmain's greatest sin is that it exists. I'm fine with the fact that the company was around in the 50s making lovely 50s gowns, but that's not what's happened since the most recent revival of the company in 2006. In fact, that's the opposite of what happened. Why revive a brand only to do something completely unrelated with it? Could Christophe Decarnin produce this vision under his own name?
While I initially enjoyed the hair band army chic, each season is starting to blur together. This season was a horribly cliched punker Americana. That show's in stores now so we can get a closer look at...I can't even call them shorts. Let's call it a modesty loin cloth. This MLC is leather; perfect for summer. The Swarovski crystals class it up too, so you can totally take them from the beach to your sister's wedding rehearsal. I'm glad the cut line is a little lower in the back. That will certainly keep me from looking like Rhianna on Rolling Stone. Maybe they're hoping girls with butts also don't have $6,000 to drop on a MLC.

HAHAHA! "Modesty loin cloth" -- I love it! Balmain produces a bunch of overpriced crap; the fact that the brand exists is a testament to consumer stupidity.

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.
