Fall 2014 Couture

By -
Giambattista Valli had birds, flowers, and stripes in an array of friendly colors. With this much retro infused fun in one place, for a few seconds, I felt like Pushing Daisies was back on the air.

Valli sated my lust for stripes, and Armani Prive catered to my polka dot desire, from the spotted veils, to the beaded evening gowns. While this wasn't a wildly inventive show, it was still beautiful.

The Schiaparelli revival is only a year old, but so far the new head designer is doing an excellent job of infusing 1930s drama with Schiaparelli's special brand of charm and playfulness.

Ulyana Sergeenko favored beautiful pleating. (Love that gown on the right, but I'm afraid it would look crazy on anyone but Cate Blanchett, the clothes whisperer.)

Love the romantic Grecian influence at Valentino. I'll have to make myself a wrap belt like that.

Zuhair Murad used textures inspired by architecture for his collection. Love that black dress.

Couture week is for taking artistic chances and showing off your skills, unless you are Elie Saab. If you are Elie Saab, you never alter the pretty lest someone snags your title as the Red Carpet King. (Zuhair Murad is coming for you, Saab.)

We're most likely to see Saab, Murad, Armani, and Valentino on the red carpet, so who do you want to see them on?

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.
