Pick of the Week: Turquoise Loafers

By -
I'm beyond in love with these shoes. The bright, playful color contrasts perfectly with the professional cut and block heel. Wearing these to work could almost be considered an act of defiance -- "You may have my body for eight hours a day, but you can't trap my spirit!" They're perfect for colorblocking or for livening up a tired outfit. Lucky Penny's glossed loafers are a treated leather, not a sweltering faux patent. They're $168 at Anthropologie and are also available in a dark moss shade. I want to wear them with everything. Here's how I've had fun styling them this week:

How would you wear these shoes?

I would wear those shoes with a really sleek suit! Something that really shows off my curves and says business on top, party on the bottom ;-)

My brother, who is a mechanical engineer and by no means a fashion-y guy, saw my Anthropologie catalog and said "Those are awesome shoes. You should get those."

Now if only he wanted to buy them for me...

How did I miss this post the first time? I LOVE the style, the color, the platform and not-too-high heels.

Darn it, I was looking for these exact shoes in black 2 years ago but now I have a pair, this will have to go in my wish list until price comes down. Do you know if anthropologie go on sales or have coupons often?

Fanya,

Anthropologie doesn't have sales often, but anything that doesn't sell out goes on pretty good clearance. You just have to stalk what you want to see if it goes on sale.

If you have a store near you, you can sign up for the Anthro club and they'll send you a 15% off coupon (store-only) for your birthday, but that's the only coupon I've ever seen.

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.
