The Horror: Shearling Sandal

By -
One perplexing trend keeps puttering on despite all logic: open-toed boots. I can't imagine shuffling along in the cold months, my feet and legs encased in wind-breaking leather with a hole pre-made for speeding up the process of frostbite. So I shouldn't be surprised by this shearling sandal. Of course, women want their feet and toes to breathe while keeping their shins as toasty as possible. Perhaps it's just an elaborate $950 ruse to get out of shaving.

I guess people are getting it more for the wow/huh? factor than looking pretty. along similar line, I love this pair of sandal. I think it's straws and not furs, which actually fit the summery image and is better I think: http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2010/09/16/et-voila/

I can see peep-toe boots as a fall look. And some of them looks pretty bad-ass, or at least I thought so when I bought these: http://www.freepeople.com/corset-heels/

I wear/treasure them, but I also vowed never to spend >$100 on a pair of shoes again after buying them. =X

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.
