The Impact of International Fashion

By -
Roommate, becca and I were sitting around last week discussing how travel has changed the way we dress. For me, a trip to Paris when I was seventeen woke me up to fashion. For becca, it was Italy in college. My roommate transformed from a tee and jeans girl to an explosion of quirky cute after a summer in Japan.

I went to Spain and Italy in college, and it changed me to be more girly and like pretty clothes instead of the grunge punk phase I was going through.

I definitely got the taste for cute, delicate and colorful stuff from my 11 years of living in China. I got my simplistic and tomboy side from living in Texas for 6 years.

I never thought about the way I dress until I start reading style blogs, set off my seaofshoes.com, which gives me a taste for edgy stuff, layering and inspired me to start wearing heels.

There you have it. I dress super girly sometimes, tomboyish sometimes, and slightly edgy other times. But no matter what I wear, it's never too tight or too revealing. My conservative Chinese side won't allow it.

My style has always been very girly and prim (think Blair Waldorf), but I've definitely acquired a slight boho vibe after spending seven summers at an artsy/hippie camp in rural Maine. It's funny, I've traveled to Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, but no place has inspired my style as much as a hippie camp in Maine!

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.
