Brooches

By -
I'm developing quite the collection of brooches. I put my ornate ones with my tee shirts and my crazy or mod ones with my ladylike cardigans. If you're in a pinch for a gift for mom, look into brooches. This is just a sample of what's online, but you can find them for cheap at any vintage or thrift shop.
Top:grey felt and bead flower brooch, Moschino on Yoox $54
yellow feather pin, Mod Cloth $17.99
teal duck pin set, Far Fetch $34
Bottom: crystal deco pin, Brooks Brothers $139.20
abstract flower brooch, Chick Downtown $40
Top: vintage medal bow brooch, Marquis & Camus $199
crystal butterfly, Swarovski $140
Bottom: red glass Fleur de Lis brooch, Extasia $95
polka dot bug pin, Betsey Johnson $38
watch pin, Mod Cloth $23.99


You can also secure some brooches in your hair with the aid of bobby pins. It's a cute way to add flash to your summer ponytail.

I saw that bug pin at the store! Only Betsey Johnson could make me want to wear all of her little bug jewelry.

Ooh, I need to wear more brooches. I've always been more of a necklace person, but maybe I can turn them into brooches temporarily?

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

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.
