Love or Loathe: Open Hearts Collection

By -
Full disclosure: I hate Kay Jewelers. I hate jewelry commercials. I am generally not a fan of popular jewelry designs. (All of this comes from having worked in the used jewelry business for years.) That said, Jane Seymour's Open Hearts collection for Kay's looks like a butt. Maybe it's an abstract image of Kim Kardashian turning to look at the camera. It's all boobs and butt. You know, things that say romance.

Do any of you know a single woman who is pining for one of these, because I don't. Are they just okay, or do you think they're a little butty too? If you were going to get jewelry for Valentine's Day, what sort of jewelry would you want?

I don't know a single woman who is pining for one of these!! And yes, they do look like boobs and butt. I wouldn't wear it.

I have a friend whose husband gave her this necklace and it is very pretty. But, I have no desire to have my husband buy me one. I prefer more unique jewelry, and if he gets me something, I want it to be because he thought it was "me", not because some ad campaign says thats what I should like.

I LOATHE this piece of jewelry and most of the weirdly sexist Kay adverts. My personal least faves are the one where the man "protects" the woman who is startled by thunder (as if his hug would stop lightning); and the uber-creepy one where the soon-to-be stepfather gives the little girl a necklace to match Mommy's. It always seems like the beginning of a PSA about incest and abuse to me. Here little girl, take this shiny thing and love me.... Gag.

It always looked to me like a Z, but an evil Z, like the kind an evil overlord named Zorq would spell his name with.

I thought it looked like a butt as well. It has overstayed it's welcome here on earth and needs to leave, NOW!

That's what Nathan and I always say: it looks like a butt! I would rather have something either whimsical or very simple.

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.
