New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011

Who: Rodarte
What it made us think of: An artsy label gracefully transitions to adulthood.
What we liked: autumnal pallet for spring, gold lipstick, blue china print, the natural waist, carved heels
What we didn't: crop tops, the materials looks too heavy for the season
Who: Altuzarra
What it made us think of: Give the models F-cups and I think I've seen these clothes in video games.
What we liked: jolts of color against a neutral backdrop, snake trim added personality
What we didn't: odd lines, something I will call "breast hats", white satinWho: 3.1 Philip Lim
What it made us think of: Layers and lines and textures in muted tones are my maximal take on minimalism.
What we liked: soft browns and pops of blue, lacy cut-outs shorts, grandpa sweaters, tassel belts, loose pants, sheer layers in perfect proportion
What we didn't: The shoes

The shoes are very interesting! But I love all the colors and mixing and matching of patterns and textures!

I LOVE the Rodarte shoes, but I don't quite get the gold lipsticks...or the nude lipstick trend...cuz that's what my lips look like when I'm sick or anemic.

what do you like about the gold lipstick? do you like the color? or that it compliment your skin tone maybe? or that it fit with the clothe?

and if you'd be so kind, some enlightenment on the nude lip trend would be appreciated

Fanya, I hate the nude lip trend, (HATE!) so I'm just as in the dark. Certain golds can look good on certain skin, but I'm more of a copper fan.

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.

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
