Valentine's Day fashion doesn't have to be sugary sweet. Add some appropriate edge by ditching the cutesy hearts and flowers and going for something more anatomically correct.

We're really big nerds. You probably gathered that from all of our posts about Firefly , comic book characters, and Doctor Who . In fact, I've made it a goal to reference Star Trek every fashion week. Trouble is, the costumes in Star Trek (the television show in particular) are terrible. In the future, females on every planet in every quadrant of space will wear monochrome ensembles. Dye-to-match shoes will be all the rage in space. Mammalian, reptilian, avian and more species will all have the same aesthetic despite their wildly different physiologies, environments, and customs. I am not a scientist or anthropologist. I have never met an alien. However, I have a crazy idea that if (when?) we ever encounter extra terrestrials, they won't wear grey jumpsuits. Maybe, like humans all over the world, their attire will say something about their culture, social roles, and values. While becca and I looked through all the fashion shows for the upcoming season, we took note of...

I was going to call this post The Fantastic Fashion Fox or maybe F - O - X or even " I Am the Mother Effing Fox ," but then this video happened: Anyway, foxes (foxen?) appear to be a bit of a trend at the moment. I keep seeing the silent sneaks on all sorts of sundries. They're cute, sly and now they have a soundtrack.

Yesterday, the we learned who will play the twelfth Doctor on Doctor Who . He may be the same Time Lord through regenerations, but each version of the Doctor has his own personality and his own distinct style. Let's hop in the Tardis for a trip back in time to each Doctor's signature style and see what we can borrow along the way. The First Doctor He set the tone for eccentric Doctor style. During the first shooting of the pilot he wore typical street clothes, but when it was reshot, the Doctor sported a loose bow tie, a vest, a striped scarf, a spiral cane and, occasionally, a monocle. A monocle necklace would make a subtle tribute to this well-dressed Sci-fi original. Pictured: Monocle Necklace, BrooklynCharm on Etsy, $22 The Second Doctor Following the well-put-together First Doctor, the Second Doctor took a more haphazzard approach to dressing. He clothes weren't quite tidy. He affixed his little, pre-tied bow tie with a safety pin and he wore loud plaid pants....

Have you seen Man of Steel yet? For a long time, I thought it wouldn't be possible to write a relatable, modern Superman story, but here it is. At least the beginning. The end is a punchy-punch-punch fest. Seriously, stop punching each other; that hasn't garnered you one result. I endured that silliness by focusing on the hotness of Henry Cavil. He might be reason enough to watch the movie. Alas, you cannot buy your very own Henry Cavil, but Etsy is full of other Superman paraphernalia.

Fashion Me Fabulous presents A Conversation With Myself . "Gameboy swimsuit?! My little nerd heart is going pitter patter!" "Remember when you used to play your Gameboy so much that grounding you involved simply taking the game away?" "Yes! And Dad was so worried about me playing it on late night car rides that he got a clip-on light and magnifier for it. It was so old it didn't even have a backlight! This swimsuit brings back happy memories." "Too bad the fit is terrible. You have to be hyper-fit or 19 in order to pull this off." "But, Gameboy!" "It doesn't even say Gameboy. It's sporting the name of the store -- Black Milk . That's a very minor problem though when you can safely assume that pervs and drunks will come up to you on the beach and try to touch your buttons. The start button is in a particularly risky spot." "Why won't you let me have nice things?" "Because I c...

Anyone who has read Fashion Me Fabulous for a while knows that we are nerds. As a nerd and blogger, I love gadgets. As a fashion blogger, I love, well, fashion. These gifts are perfect for the fashionable gadgets lovers in your life as they combine those two things. 1. USB Pyramid Bracelet, Juicy Couture, $34.99 As seen in image 1a, this looks like an ordinary and rather cool cuff bracelet. As seen in image 1b, this is actually a fashionable housing unit for a 4G USB drive. Form and function. Also, this USB drive will be much harder to lose than the one that used to be on my key chain. 2. Tech Touch Gloves, Target, $3 The link actually takes you to the online three pair set costing $9.99, but the store is selling them for $3 a pair which is a better deal and allows you to choose different colors. The finger and thumb of these gloves have conductive thread so you can use your phone, tablet and all the public touch screens like the ones on the ATM and self-checkout grocery lanes. ...

The fine ladies who run the joint here asked me to do some fantasy shopping, stating it would be a good way for readers (that's you!) to get to know my style a bit more. I fear I may reveal too much. Mostly that I'm a gigantic nerd, if that hadn't already become quite apparent. I really had no idea where to start with this, so I picked something that I'd wanted for a while but hadn't come across the right item in stores. I've been aching for a lace dress for ages, yet the perfect specimen remained elusive. However, with no limitations on distance or price, this gorgeous Marc Jacobs dress from the Fall '11 line fits the bill perfectly! The deep, warm crimson color is one that looks killer against my skin and hair and is one of my wardrobe favorites. The shape is sexy without being too revealing, and the detail around the neck is downright regal. Then, I had to pick shoes. I have to be honest, I know there are better shoes out there for this dress. But, dang...
