Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter 2011: Christian Dior, Sonia Rykiel, Miu Miu

By -
Who: Christian Dior
What it made us think of: What current designer has the skills to pull from so many historic references and make something so romantic yet modern?
What we liked: sweeping coats, velvet, breeches, darkened jewel tones, boots
What we didn't: All of the events surrounding this show.Who: Sonia Rykiel
What it made us think of: The staff of Britain's chicest elementary school
What we liked: gorgeous colors, plaid, chunky knits, argyle,
What we didn't: disturbingly tight pants, thick fringe, neon stoles
Who: Miu Miu
What it made us think of: If Joan Crawford and Edie Bouvier designed the uniforms for Sonia Rykiel's school.
What we liked: hips, large frame bags, glittery shoes, bird prints
What we didn't: shoulders that were either too slouchy or too stiff, the baseball uniforms

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 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?
