In an effort to expand a teenager's musical taste beyond Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, I've been watching and sharing a lot of music videos lately. Kate Nash, who is adorable and amazing, has a kitschy retro flight attendant video for her song "Do-Wah-Doo." I can't quite tell if she has rhinestones at the base of her lashes or if she swooped silver liner over her black. We'll leave the former option to British pop stars, but a swipe of silver eyeliner over an otherwise bare lid sounds like a fun way to dress up a sleepy day. Drug store staple, Revlon, has a standard pencil liner ($8.49 at Target) that looks like it has plenty of sparkle. Sephora has a waterproof option ($12) and a super glittery gel liner ($12). Happy eyes for everyone!
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.
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
I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble , it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink , rose and black, or grey and black , but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties , however, is still laughable.
