Spring Summer 2009 Favorites So Far

By -
New York Fashion Week kicked off Friday, but the only show I've liked so far is Jonathan Saunders. The color palette of robin's egg blue, mint green, orange, yellow, pistachio, hot pink and cotton candy pink is brilliant and perfect for spring. (Note the details of bright pink eyes, dark pink lips, and matching shoes.) I love the layering of colors in the skirts. It would seem like too much material, but judging by the beautiful way the material floats it must be light and gauzy.
The collection has several cute jackets. The details keep them from wandering into "congressman's wife" territory.
Pretty dresses! I can't expound on the obvious any more. As you as in love as I am?

I know practicality isn't necessarily a part of fashion shows, but are we supposed to be able to see the nipples of the model in the middle of the last group? I didn't know nips were in fashion this spring. Going to make going to the office rather awkward.

Models usually don't wear bras in fashion shows, and sheer is still big. Apologies for this (and possibly future) nipple shots.

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.

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
