I am decidedly smitten with the stud/grommet/military detail trend. I gravitate less towards the punk rock pyramid shapes and more towards the rockstar/military ones, however. I like the ones of that style that you show here!

I'm also rather smitten. Some of my looks can be too sugary sweet, and details like studs keep me from looking like an 80s yacht club member.

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 .

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?
