Who: Vera Wang
What it made us think of: Vera Wang
What we liked: Flowing, relaxed pieces that look both elegant and casual. Of course, this is Vera's aesthetic, and she did it very well this season. (Also, tutu skirts, cool necklaces, ruffled/rouched jackets)
What we didn't: Droopy jumpsuits, an out of context stone (somewhat Flinstone) dress.
Who: Peter Som
What it made us think of: Texture--must touch these clothes--and happiness (this designer is celebrating his new-found financial stability
What we liked: The bright colors, mixed patterns, flirty clothes and touchable textures
What we didn't: Some looks encouraged pants-less-ness. We just can't get behind that.
Who: Jason Wu
What it made us think of: Classic pieces gone lux
What we liked: Luscious materials, bold prints, expert tailoring
What we didn't: A mirrored runway seems like an invitation to look up girls skirts, but it did look kind of cool.
Who: Rebecca Taylor
What it made us think of: Tea Party attire with an edge
What we liked: Girly shapes mixed with structured pieces, polka dots, tiny florals, pleated shorts
What we didn't:Shorts that gave models camel toe, an intentional nip slip in such a ladylike show
Who: Jill Stuart
What it made us think of: Rocker chic
What we liked: Shoulders, studs, shiny things
What we didn't: Super tight, super short "dresses" that will have a hard time finding bodies to flatter in the real world (even among actresses).

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.

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 .
