Poll: Perfume Bottles

By -
When a friend of mine returned from a trip to Italy, she gave me a red, blown-glass atomizer. Retro, sexy and bold all at once -- it's awesome-sauce. I'm not the only woman who has a love for pretty bottles (and I will confess that good packaging can entice me to buy a product). If I were to have a dressing table full of perfume bottles, I'd most likely collect in shapes, all rounded or all sleek. Since I'm in love with the sexy torso bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique, it could be the standout centerpiece of my expensive collection.

While I normally like sleek and simple interior design, I believe the more ornate the perfume bottle (and the more likely is seems a genie may emerge), the better.

I love how instantly recognizable perfume bottles are. I have no trouble spotting my mother's or grandmother's perfume bottles. They bring about warm, fuzzy thoughts of peeking at all the pretty things on their dressing tables when I was little. (Just like I can instantly smell them if someone walking past wearing their scent).

I like variety (and of course I have to like the scent too).

Kaiku by Avon: frosted glass Japanese tower with a Mint green top.
J'adore: Sculptural curvy orange glass liquid with gold stem topped by a white gem.
Daisy: squarish with the bright innocent white flowers.

Now I want something super luxurious looking, so either Guilty by Gucci or Lady Million. But I want to wait until I finish at least 1 of the 3 I have.

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.
