''What's it like to go shopping with you?''

By -
On Tuesday's American Idol, new judge Kara received flack for her critique of a dull teen. She said the song told her nothing about the girl, and she wanted to know: ''What's it like to go shopping with you?'' Everyone responded as if this were a crazy and irrelevant question but I knew exactly what she meant.

becca and I don't blog about fashion and shopping because we're vain and material. We think how a women shops and what she wears reveals things about her psychology. When we want to get to know someone, we go shopping with her. Will she wear bright colors? Would she feel comfortable in a mini-skirt? Does she head straight to the clearance rack or check out what's new? Does she wear what she loves or what she's comfortable in (very different things)?

So, what's it like to go shopping with you?

I've never heard it put better. I feel that fashion and interior design are two fascinating ways in which people express themselves and play with beauty. It's too bad they are so often shrugged off as shallow and silly.

Loud, bright colors, form fitting, buttons, flounces. I'm like the Victorian era got in a car accident with Rainbow Brite. I'm the friend that everyone says, "I don't know why, but I always see things that I think you'd like. They're just so you."

I will casually look at the new items, but I flip through every single thing on the sale rack. I shop at stores for middle aged professionals, but I don't dress like one. I try everything on. As long as we break for lunch, I can shop all day.

I love sales, and Goodwill, but sometimes I'll pay full price. Ruffles, happy colors, puffy sleeves, geometric patterns, buttons, flounce and vintage inspired stuff are my favorites. I'm a fan of stalking things until they go on sale.

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.
