Weekend Fashion Find: Fashion Plate

By -
In 30 years when every reality show has 5 to 50 spinoffs, it only makes sense that Hoarders and Intervention will get together to create Hoarders Prevention Intervention. This show will focus on friends and family who worry about a loved one's habits of gathering too much of something. They will sit that person down and tell them their newspaper or tattered sock collection has surpassed eccentric and become a problem on the verge of ruining everyone's life.

If this show actually waits 30 years to be created, my friends and family will be sitting me down to tell me I can't have any more dinnerware. I'm obsessed with plates, which is why I'm probably better off broke because I would buy a new set a month. Every time a plate or set of plates catches my eye I envision the perfect setting--a chocolate party (I actually have plates for this!), a tour of Asian cuisine (got plates for this too), a jewelry or accessory selling party (yep, I have those too), or a crazy wig High Tea.

I don't have plates for that, but these Ladies-In-Waiting Dishes from Anthropologie ($24 each) would be perfect. We'd eat elaborate bite-sized pastries created in vibrant pastels a' la Marie Antoinette while wearing crazy wings and huge, candy-colored frocks. Doesn't that sound fun? And it absolutely requires these plates, right?

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
