Wedding Dress of the Week

By -
I've been lost searching Etsy for no less than two hours looking for the perfect handmade wedding dress to write about. Of course, Etsy is full of them, but I settled on this one purely for the name -- "Moulin Rouge". This gown is modeled after the one Satine wears while she and the penniless writer sing "Elephant Love Meledy" which is really so much prettier than that title. (Now I've spent about 20 minutes watching that video over and over.)

What can I say? I'm a sucker for corsets, lacing and a bustle. Deconstructress makes this sexy yet classy gown in red with black accents or white with silver or pink accents. It's custom sized, so the price of $699 includes what you normally pay for hems and tucks.Which movie dress would you most like to wear?

This is beautiful. One of my childhood friends said he would pay for my wedding dress as a wedding gift when I got married (I love the way he assumes that's so easy to accomplish!). If my boyfriend ever gets round to it, I'm going to ask for this one. I loooove Moulin Rouge. I'd much rather have this than the Carrie Bradshaw affair even though I love SATC.

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.
