Weekend Fashion Find: McQueen Paper Dolls

By -
As a child, I loved paper dolls. They usually had amazing paper clothes (unlike Barbie, who wasn't as stylish back then and didn't have the abundance of clothes paper dolls offered). When my family lived in our first house, I had the treat of visiting our neighbors across the street, Hans and Marianne. Marianne let me play with her stunning vintage paper dolls. The clothing was extravagant; the papers were delicate and textured. I have never since seen such intricate paper dolls. (Also, their backyard looked like a fairytale garden. I though I was visiting some sort of enchanted land. I was probably four-years-old).

I imagine these Alexander McQueen paper dolls would recreate that magical fashion experience. This set includes three dolls and over 30 paper recreations of Alexander McQueen's most famous designs. Alexander McQueen Fashions: Recreated in Paper Dolls is available on Amazon for $9.99.

I also loved my paper dolls more than my Barbie dolls for the same reason! And I started drawing in order to design clothes for my dolls. As an adult, I have collected many of these paper doll book series--this one would be a great addition!

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.
