Welcome to Your Virtual Closet

By -
What I would enjoy most about working for a publication like Vogue would be the access to the clothes -- Miu Miu shoes, Alexander McQueen dresses, Prada bags. I often wish I could play stylist with things that are way beyond my price stratosphere. In steps Polyvore to make all my wardrobe dreams come true!

Polyvore is a virtual outfit maker with thousands of items from various estores. Items are submitted by members using their handy clipper tool. (Unfortunately in my week of play, I've yet to figure out how to clip items from Anthropologie or Etsy.) You can then use the items to create the outfit of your dreams. While Polyvore is great for unleashing your inner stylist and playing with clothes that may not work on your real life body (take that skinny jeans!), it's not very reliable if you are interested in purchasing the items. Many items have sold out of stores or link to a rabbit trail of blogs before getting you to the original source.


I've been spending way too much time on Polyvore, and I'm sure becca will be sucked in as soon as she beats back her cold. If you want to see the items we love and more of the looks I've put together, go to Fashion Me Fabulous' Polyvore homepage.

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.
