Etsy Shop of the Week: Eynat Klipper

Shop: Eynat Klipper

Why We Love It: I'm not sure who decided to start making swimsuits that offered considerably less support and coverage than a demi bra and bikini panties, but their idea clearly took off. The stores are full of flimsy, poorly made suits. Eynat Klipper suits come from a blissful alternate reality where swim tops have underwires, suits have a retro vibe yet still feel modern, and swimsuit shopping probably doesn't end in frustration and wearing last year's threadbare suit to the beach. 

Price Range: $44 - $155

Favorite Items:

I remember reading a book by Dr. Andrew Weil many years ago. The subject was about health and well-being. One thought he expressed was that he felt women were unfairly critical of their bodies when the fact was the garment industry had so cheapened their offerings that really, it was more the case that clothing was poorly made and unflattering, not that women needed to "fix," their bodies.

That's very true. Some outfits I've tried on have made me look pregnant, given me weird bumps, and flattened parts of me that I want to look not flat. It's tough after an afternoon of fruitless shopping to keep saying "It's not me; it's the clothes."

Oddly enough, what I find more intimidating than the dreaded "swimsuit shopping," is trying on glasses. I'd rather try on something that makes my boobs look weird, shrug and say "It's the clothes," than try on a pair of specs that make my face look weird.

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.
