Adventures in Mall Shopping: Hot Topic

By -
Jael Paris and I took a trip to the mall on Sunday in hopes of digging up topics to blog about. Jael suggested I visit a store I wouldn't normally shop at to see if they had anything worth while. We were standing near Hot Topic at the moment so I wandered in hoping to find a few goth inspired items to mix with my girlish wardrobe.

After struggling past the wall of Twilight merchandise at the front of the store, I picked through the clothing where I found nothing. The accessories department seemed to be the only section worth while. If you're looking for anything cheap and neon, this is your place. They also had a good selection of crazy tights (always fun!). There were also a few pairs of intriguing fingerless gloves. My favorite finds were a pair of feather false eyelashes and colorful petticoats (although they are a bit shorter than I'd like).
So, if you're looking to experiment with accessories, Hot Topic has some affordable options. If you're looking for some cool goth-inspired apparel though, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Fingerless Lace Gloves $9.99
Feather Eyelashes $7.99
Driving Gloves with Bows $12.99
Striped Tights $8
Red Petticoat $16.99
Neon Blue Tights $8

I love the eyelashes. Those would be neat to do a mod makeup look with.

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.
