Paris Fashion Week SS12: Dior, John Galliano

By -
Who: Christian Dior
What it made us think of: The 1950s, when Dior was still big news, but less drama-rife.
What we liked: Hips!...
What we didn't: You can't help but feel bad for Bill Gaytenn, a long time Dior employee who's been tasked with designing in the post-Galliano interim. He's doing his best to make wearable, sellable clothing, but he spins me no dreams.Who: John Galliano
What it made us think of: Mary Poppins takes the kids to the park on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
What we liked: plaid, full skirts, boater hats, loafer shoes, Victorian jackets, rounded sleeves. Bill Gaytten seems much more confident helming this lower profile house than he does Dior.
What we didn't: terrible bangs

It's $118 at Macy's and perfect for spring. Now if I could find an inexpensive version of that show's teacup heels... Runway image: style.com .

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
