Touch Screen Gloves

By -
While I hate to think about winter, we've already had a few glove-worthy days so it's time to prepare. Freezing hands are no fun. I recently broke down and joined the smart phone crowd. It was time, and now there's no going back. Since smart phones don't like gloves, I need add a pair of touch screen-friendly gloves to my collection. These gloves have conductive materials in the index finger and thumb so your can use all the touch screens on your iPad/iPod/SmartPhone ect. (You can even use them on a community touch screens in the grocery store self-checkout aisle, which is awesome because I hate touching those during cold season). Top Row:
Ruched Wool Tech Touch Gloves, Zappos, $32
Print Wool & Angora Tech Touch Gloves, Zappos, $38
Model Blend Ruched Tech Touch Gloves, Zappos $35 (more colors)
Middle Row:
Sporty SmarTouch Gloves, Macy's, $42
Faux Leather Cuff Stretch SmarTouch Gloves, Macy's, $42
Fleece Tech Touch Gloves, Macy's, $34
Bottom Row:
Leather Button Cuff Tec Touch Gloves, 180s, $75 (more colors)
Wool Blend Tech Touch Gloves, Lord & Taylor's, $32 (more colors)
Leather Ruched Tec Touch Gloves, 180s, $80 (more colors)

For those on a budget (or really attached to their current gloves) another option is adding conductive thread to a pair of existing gloves. Conductive thread is usually only available in large spools, but you can buy five yards here for about $3. This video will help you make your own tech gloves. (I'm not sure how this process would work with leather.)

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.
