Touch of Color

Neon can be a hard trend to get in on, but there are ways to dip your toe in the water. One way neon is popping up this season is in color blocking. Tan, grey, white or black with an accent of hot pink, neon yellow or even sky blue feels so fresh. Click through the gallery below for plenty of color blocked shoes and bags.



If you're not interested in buying more accessories right now, Love Maegan has a great tutorial for updating some old leather shoes using nail polish!

To hear that something is a very fresh trend resonated with me right now because I'm going through a serious purge of things my family no longer needs.

So the flip side to this would be, what do you think people need to get rid of? What feels newly dated right now?

In high school I was hyperly sensitive to trends. I was much better at describing things that were "so last year."

I care about trends because it influences my shopping. For example, vests were really trendy a few years ago, and I should have stocked up. Items themselves aren't so much out of style as the way you wear them. You could still wear a floral baby doll dress right now, but wear it with espadrilles and a vintage necklace instead of the Doc Martens and Blossom hat you sported in the 90s. Hmm, I feel a Polyvore post coming on...

Thought of something! High-waisted, acid wash jeans. Don't wear them.

Can't wait for the Polyvore post!

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.
