Pick of the Week: Prada-esque Flame Shoes

By -
When Prada sent a car-themed show down the runway, I fell in love with the accessories, especially the shoes. I'm from the Metro-Detroit area, the Motor City, and I've worked as an automotive writer in the past. I adore cars. And I adored these flame shoes, which originally came with a $1,100 price tag. My brother has cars that cost less than that. In fact, the current bargain clearance price tag of $495 is still more than some of my brother's cars have cost.

Jael recently found this adorable pair of flame wedges at Modcloth.com. They aren't as fierce or dramatic as the Prada version, but I think they are actually cuter and more versatile. I can see pairing these with everything from skinny jeans to a sun dress. Modcloth is selling the red version pictured left for $49.99. I found the same shoes in red, blue and black for $22 at Urbanog.com (an online shop I'm unfamiliar with).

The only bummer about these shoes is that they don't come in my size. If they had an 11, I'd have to rush order these so they'd be here in time for the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend.

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.
