Someone Clueless Talks VMA ... Attire

By -
My Pandora stations are seeded with artists like Modest Mouse, Regina Spektor, and Adele. If an artist wouldn't show up on one of those stations (or happens to be an obscure Christian rock band from the 90s who, of course, score all sorts of MTV invites) then I have no idea who they are.

Look! Adele was there! Whew, I know someone. I love her big hair. No doubt critics think "you don't put a big girl in big hair" but that retro hair is so soft and bouncy. Plus, it totally goes with her sound. From the neck down, however, she's a little too casual day dress for the event. Wait, that still makes her better dressed than most of these people. (Are they people?) She was frankly stunning during her performance. Stunning.

Someone suckered me into listening to Jessie J because "she sounds like Adele." That person is a liar, but kudos to Jessie for managing her bum leg so well. I can't even knock the circus outfit. Showing up injured makes you pretty awesome in my book. Here's a Miss Congeniality award, Jessie. Maybe next year you can wear real bottoms and sing a whole song on air.
Katy Perry looks like a blend of anime and candy. I was sad that she abandoned the black hair, but this outfit is so adorable I don't care. The colors are fun, the fit is perfect, and the accessories were well-chosen. I want a doll of her.
From here I thought everyone else was too boring, too insane or too reality TV to bother giving brain power to. Who had your favorite look at Sunday's VMAs?

A lot of people have been going for the anime look recently... I remember seeing Selena Gomez wearing an Asian inspired dress! Interesting. -Berri Goldfarb PR

It's a bit ironic that I come here for fashion posts and never brought your suggestions, either cute-but-cheap or quality-but-too-expensive, and ended up buying an Adele CD due to this post.

I saw "Adele" and googled her because I like the name...got hooked on rolling in the deep, and finally caved in and brought her CD. Currently savoring the album....

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.
