Pick of the Week: Born Brogues

By -
One of the things I love most about fall is the return of my lovely booties and boots. I like sandals, but I start missing my lux leather brogues after a while. And this fall, Born shoes has a line of brogues that have me drooling almost as much as the thought of pumpkin spice lattes. Of the collection, my favorite pair are these "Bittersweet" booties ($150, picture left). I've dreamt of owning a pair of boots like this. The brogue perforations, the velvet laces, the perfect 2 1/4 inch heel and the lovely burnished leather are calling to me with their siren song. They come in marrone (pictured) and black. I'll take both. If those aren't enticing enough, Born has five more pairs of stunning brogues. Which is your favorite? Top:
Dacy Brogues, $140
Middle:
Birdie Brogues, $115 in marrone (pictured) & black
Waverly Brogues, $115 in sauro (pictured) & black
Bottom:
Arletta Brogue, $105 in stone (pictured), marrone, noce, redash
Perrine Brogue, $175

I love the ones with the heels. They have fabulous vintage appeal.

I think I'm with you on the first ones being the best.

I had shoes similar to these in high school, but not quite as awesome.

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 ...

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.
