Love or Loathe: Jelly Gladiator Sandals

By -
My first instinct was to make this post "The Horror: Jelly Gladiator Sandals." However, I don't really have anything against the gladiator part. It's just the jelly part. Jelly sandals are from my childhood. They held up to any terrain, but they also ensured sweaty feet. Not a terrible thing at five, but I'm not five anymore.

Also, Jelly Gladiators are invading.

Givenchy made some ($165):


Marc by Marc Jacobs made them too ($?.??):


Top Shop has a pair (about $19.50 USD):


Even Old Navy is in on the action ($19.50):


So what do you think? Is this is fashionable shoe that can stand up to anything? Or should this gladiator be taken out of the battle?

Two things that do not go together: Plastic and my feet. I've even stopped with plastic flip-flops unless I'm swimming. I can't stand the sticking feeling. The style is cute, but the plastic would be unbearable.

Plastic shoes are only okay if you are planning on getting your feet wet while wearing them. Of course, I'm not going to make mud pies and catch turtles in the creek with my cousins in $165 shoes either.

Ditto the plastic comments. A few of the more feminine takes on this sandal are kind of pretty, but I really don't think I'd wear them.

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.
