Love or Loathe: Artsy Ankle Boots

By -
First of all, the price point of nearly $400 gave me serious pause about putting these boots in "the horror". If they were a $20 deal from Target, it may be fun to wear Impressionism on my feet. Maybe. What do you think of these painting print ankle boots from Icon?

These look like men's shoes, and I think, for an artsy, cool man with an otherwise great outfit on, they are excellent, but I am much too girlie to saunter around in those.

$400 or $20, those are fug. They look like men's booties or something. The *idea* of a painted bootie is cool but these are lacking something. Not edgy enough to be cool or abstract enough to be avant-garde . . . they're just ugly.

I think they are quite ugly! Icon has some cool art slide/mule type shoes that are nice, but these are definitely lacking.

You're right. They do look like men's shoes! There was something off about the shape but I couldn't figure it out.

Maybe if the painting were different, if they were cut lower, and the heel was higher, but there's too much about them that I dislike. Loathe.

I'm not a fan. I think that the shape in itself is ugly, no matter what you paint onto it.

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.
