Winter Accessories: The Slouchy Beanie

By -

Last year I purchased a slouchy beanie from Kohl's Simply Vera Vera Wang Line. In many ways it's similar to a beret, and I've seem them classified as berets. But it's a little more loose and has less shape. I just love these hats. This year Kohl's has a gray one, and I want it very much.

For me this is the perfect winter hat. It's cute. It's loose enough not to mess up my curls yet not so loose that it falls off. It can be pulled down over your ears if you don't want to sport ear muffs. It's pretty much shapeless so it doesn't get hurt when I stuff it in my pocket. Did I mention that it doesn't mess up my hair. This is the first hat I've ever had that doesn't leave the top of my hair frizzy and flat.

What's your perfect winter hat?

I want to play up my straight bob with more hats this winter. I usually wear my wool beret, but my husband's bowler looks sweet on me too.

I saw a girl wearing one of these the other day and thought it was so cute and unique, then I started walking around the mall and started seeing them in all the shop windows... I guess it wasn't so unique after all :P I do like them though!

I'm a sucker for those hats with the ear flaps... even if they do look goofy.

Rachel, you can make the hat with the ear flaps work. It'd be cute on you.

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.
