Welcome to the FMF weekly reader poll. We're hoping to get to know a little more about you, our beloved readers, and have a little fun with fashion questions. This week we want to know how you pack for a trip. Is it a lot or a little?
What I find is that despite only packing essentials I still take too much. Like with shoes, you have to take different options- flats, heels, boots...It all adds up. I can't pack lightly at all.
Packing is so hard, if I could afford to pack nothing and buy everything when I got there, I would be in heaven.
For the most part, I try to pack several dresses that are made from material you can roll in a ball, stuff in a duffel and will look perfect when you pull them out.
It totally depends on the trip. If it's a short trip (five days or less) I pack smart and light. If it's longer than that, I take everything but the kitchen sink. However, repeated lost luggage has led me to learn to pack smarter so I can carry my luggage on the plane.
If I'm driving, all bets are off. Three suitcases and a tote, minimum.

However, this shop has a lot more to offer than cats of all sizes. These laser cut wooden earrings range from fun swirling designs to intricate peacocks. Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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 ...
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.
