Oxfords for Summer

By -
Oxfords have been gaining in popularity for a while now. They're more comfortable than ballet flats which can cut your Achilles and bite the tender skin by your toes. What the traditional oxford is not is breathable. No worries. Here's a selection of cut-out and perforated oxford designs that will air your feet as the weather gets warmer.
Top: dove grey leather and canvas cut-out, J. Jill $79.99
gold punched leather, Lucky "Christa" on Endless $55.17
pink saddle shoes, Jeffrey Campbell "Lookbook" at Nordstrom $109.95
Bottom: whip-stitch woven oxford, Urban Outfitters $29.99
cut-out golf shoe, Jeffrey Campbell "Kelley" at Nordstrom $109.95
black lace oxford, Nine West "Gilderoy" $130

What they make up for in comfort, oxfords may lack in versatility. I could wear them all the time, but they work with my quirky style. If you're hesitant, they work best with something with geeky, retro or androgynous overtones. Check out some of my styling suggestions on our facebook.

I have one pair - but a black one, so it's not for spring/summer. I should buy nude one.

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.
