Real Leather, Target Prices

By -
Want real leather, but can't afford it? Once again, it's Target to the rescue! (We're not sponsored by them, I swear.) Aside from the usual name-brand replicas in various budget materials, this season Target has a variety of honest-to-goodness came-from-a-cow leather boots available for prices you can afford without taking out a loan. These styles come in multiple colors, too (though limited to either black or varying shades of brown). Go check them out! Just remember, they don't come weatherproofed, so be careful where you drool.

I try to be eco-conscious, and buying shoes sometimes poses a dilemma. Should I be nice to animals and buy vegan shoes? Unfortunately, most are made out of plastic and won't biodegrade. In my opinion, it's better to buy leather. Plus, they won't fall apart in a year's time.

Although, there are some cute, vegan shoes available that are not made out of plastic:

Pricey, but I'm hoping for a trickle-down effect.

Just found your lovely blog! How cool is that- go target. Now if only they started making shoes in my size (4.5 or 5) so i could actually get in on the action

Skippy, I feel your pain (but on the opposite end--Target shoes are usually too small for me). We've got a post coming up next week about shopping for odd shoe sizes.

Skippy, check out Naturalizer! They have gorgeous boots in your size (especially on Amazon). I have these gorgeous boots in Oxford brown, and I adore them. They're on sale right now in that $80 range, which is on the high end of the Target list, but still nowhere near designer prices. But bottom line, Naturalizer carries your size and they always have sales and coupons. I've gotten shoes from them that retailed for $80 and between sales and coupons, I paid under $30. If you want more suggestions, just ask! I'm glad to help.

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.
