Jael Paris' Summer Shopping List

By -
Red Heels I'm looking for something a little less stilletto sexpot than my last pair of red heels. Chelsea Crew is where it's at.  These low heels work for work or play. Should I get the "Marlo" or the breezier "Zoe"?

Yellow Skirt As I said on our Facebook page, I need more cheery yellow in my summer wardrobe. I'd love a yellow skirt that's not body con or skater. These are all from ASOS.
pleated midi skirt $67
linen skirt $53 (I have this in pink!)
pleated mini skirt $48

Cream Eye Shadows In the last couple years, I've developed some eye allergies which has made it difficult to wear eye makeup. I read that cream eye shadows are better for people with eye allergies, so I want to give Maybelline's Color Tattoo a try.


Colorful Cuff Bracelet Jezebel Charms has an amazing selection of literary cuff bracelets. Despite the fact that I'm a major bibliophile, it's their colorful cuffs using reproductions of vintage wallpaper and biological prints that I'm swooning for.


 Wide-Brimmed Straw Hat My black one is dramatic, but I need something lighter and cooler, like this cute bow hat.

What are you shopping for this summer?

Red heels: buy both.

Cream eye shadow: is it better because it stays put more?

Cuff bracelets: I love bracelets in general, but when I'm working on a laptop, they drive me nuts.

Yes, cream eye shadows supposedly flake less.

I thought a cuff would be less annoying than something that dangles. I have so many sleeveless items, bracelets make sense.

Also, LESS stiletto sexpot?? I thought that was the beauty of shoes? It's one article of clothing you can wear and nobody's going to send you home from work, saying, "I'm sorry, but those shoes are just way too stiletto sexpot; they're inappropriate."

Patent leather isn't the best for summer though. Red shoes are really a staple for my wardrobe, and I don't think I was wearing the stilettos as much as I would a retro style. Plus, I wore the tips off and can't get the nails out to replace them.

For allergies, Marcelle is a good line - a few people I know (myself included) react to anything but that.

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.
