Etsy Shop of the Week: Star of the East

Shop: Star of the East

As a child growing up in Metro Detroit, I made countless summertime trips to Northern Michigan for family vacations, camping trips with friends, lighthouse tours and weekends at various cottages owned by friends and family. These trips almost always involved plenty of splashing in lakes, playing on sandbars and proving that a girl could totally put a worm on a hook (I no longer possess a desire to prove this). By the middle of August every year these trips were winding down and my mother was forcing me to empty my bags and backpacks of the sea shells, rocks, twiggs and other natural treasures I'd dragged back from trips so I could make way for new pencils and school books. Star of the East's shop filled with jewelry made from the same natural wonders I collected each summer brings back the warm, fuzzy feeling of summers past, tiny treasures now discarded and this time of year when summer begins to give up it's hazy days for the crisp, cool snap of fall. Only, I'm sure my mother would have let me keep these treasures and maybe even wear them the first day of school.

Price Range: $24 - $410

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.
