Simply Vera by Vera Wang Debuts

By -

Last week I went to see the much anticipated Simply Vera Vera Wang line at Kohl's.

I quite liked the advertisements I saw in Vogue and a few other fashion magazines. There is a stunning yellow shirt and an adorable hat I quite want to try on.

I was, however, disappointed when I arrived at Kohl's. I knew the clothes would cost a little more than normal Kohl's prices, but I didn't expect them to be quite so high. They are very well made though, and they fit great so the prices are only a little high for the quality. Plus, it's Kohl's so they'll go on sale.

The most disappointing thing was that my Kohl's stocked none of the clothes from the ads. Sure they had pretty pieces, but not the ones I had my heart set on. They apparently released the line today, but aren't releasing it fully yet. They don't know when they will get certain pieces or if they'll them at all.

Also, some of the pieces in the ads are not even up on the site.

For anyone looking for a super cheap Vera Wang dress, there is a black, spaghetti strap night gown that could easily pass for a dress. At only $34, that's a cheap Vera Wang.


The Vera Wang bedding is beautiful and I wish I was in the market for such bedding, but I don't need it.
I did get some tights that are really well made, and they did have some truly nice clothing. I just have to wait for a lot of it to go on sale.

Overall, Vera Wang did a very nice job with her collection. Kohl's, however, has not done such a nice job advertising and handling the line.

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.
