Love or Loathe? Block Heels

By -
Shoes have been moving towards serious heels for a while now. While a block heel will limit tottering, it's not the most svelte of shapes. I certainly remember hefty heels from high school, and in retrospect they were good starter shoes into the world of more adult footwear. But they can also resemble the shoes Bratz dolls wear, and I prefer to have nothing in common with dolls who change shoes by removing their feet. Do you prefer a sturdy clop, clop, clop to a dainty click, click, click or are block heels best left in homeroom?

These shoes look like someone was interrupted while designing... the picture made it out of the art department and to manufacturing without a heel... then some bloke thought to make the heel a block.

I like daintier heel. But the block heel is a good starter heel like you said.

I love those particular shoes, but in general I like a fairly slim heel.

Those shoes are adorable, but I think I would feel clunky in them. For me it's a high heel or no heel at all.

sometimes I feel like such a boy.

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.
