It's All In The Bag !

2009-02-05T05:54:00.000-08:00

For alot of women, bags are very important accessories and a "must have" before stepping out of the house. Me personally enjoy wearing big bags. I like some small bags such as clutches, but i highly prefer big bags. Completing your ensemble with a funky, vibrant bag can totally set your whole look off. So you ask, what type and size of bag is appropriate for various occasions ? Depending on where you are going and what type of event is being held at your place of being, indicates what is appropriate and what is not. For example, if your going on an outing with some of your friends such as a movie or maybe even shopping, you might want to wear some type of messenger bag. Messenger bags are cute, very fashionable, also very durable. Being that meesenger bags tend to cross over your body its easy not to forget your bag somewhere. However, if one is considering going out to dinner or going to a club, i highly recommend a clutch. Clutches are classy yet sexy and are easy to handle. The only downfall is that they can be small which often causes people to forget about even holding one. The organization of your bag can also be a huge problem. Most people tend to just throw everythiing in their bags, so when it comes a time when they are trying to find something its pretty diffucult. So one way that you can organize your bag is by putting things in different compartments. This way you will know where your things are at any given time.

Full Closet...But Nothing To Wear?

2009-01-13T07:09:00.000-08:00

People often complain about having nothing to wear. This is because they can be tired of their wardrobe and crave for a new look. Wearing the same clothes gets real old real fast. There is nothing more frustrating than standing infront of your closet complaining of nothing to wear, when in reality you do. Some people have so many clothes and half of them we either can't fit or they are just worn down. So thats why i make sure to make a trip to the mall once a week to make a new addition to my wardrobe. Although i still do complain about having nothing to wear, i switch my outfits in ways so they look new and fashionable. I do this by adding trendy accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings.

Holiday Motif?

2009-01-13T06:30:00.000-08:00

Wearing clothing with crazy holiday prints are pretty outdated. I think that holiday prints are acceptable for infants and children. Holiday prints are also acceptable for elderly people. Teenagers wearing hokiday motif ????? Thats a NO! It is not cool for teens to wear wool sweaters with a huge print of santa claus on the front of it. however, if one wants to wear some cheery christmas socks, that is fine. No one can see them so that is okay !

Tattoos in the Workplace?

2009-01-13T06:12:00.000-08:00

Tattoos in the workplace, in my opinion, are not bad. Well depending on where the tattoo is and how appropriate it is determines whether its acceptable or not in the workplace. Nearly every employer can attest to the changing standards of dress in the workplace over the past several years. While business suits were once the norm, employers are now implementing grooming policies and dress codes to address, among other things, the size and location of tattoos and body piercings.

New Year, Time For A New Change !

2009-01-13T05:34:00.000-08:00

Starting off the new year, you might want to make a few changes about yourself. A few changes that i would like to make about myself include the following :

1: I would like to get my hair highlighted.

*Hair highlighting is a simple way to add beauty

to natural hair and have a better hair raising experience.

Hair highlights emphasizes the focal point of a haircut.

They give a funky and sophisticated look, adding depth

and dimension to hair. Hair highlighting is

different from hair coloring.

Hair coloring defines coloring of the entire hair and

highlighting defines coloring only a few strands of hair.

Hair highlights are often restricted to bright

shades with a metallic tint.

2: I would like to loose 10 pounds

Goodbye Mcdonalds. . .

&& Hello Fruits and Vegetables ! =)

3: I would like to wear more shoes

*Shoes are very elegant and sexy !

2008-11-05T05:38:00.000-08:00

Being a highschool student and trying to be stylish can be very hard at times being that things are so expensive. So me, as a highschool student, shop at the more less expensive stores such as Forever 21 or Wet Seal because i can buy alot of stylish clothing for a cheap price. Also at those stores, i can find things that are appropriate for my age. Websites such as yelp.com, videojug.com, and dogpile.com give great tips on where to shop as a highschool student.

How Can Someone Dress In Business Professional Attire But Be In Pure Comfort?

2008-10-21T06:40:00.000-07:00

Dressing in business or professional attire doesnt necessarily mean that you have to wear those gorgeous, but uncomfortable heels...cute but too tight pencil skirts. Its very important to be comfortable at work being that you are there for a while. I prefer to wear a cute pair a flats and some casual dress pants made with spandex material...that way i can look business appropriate and be comfortable. Websites such as Gloriajh.wordpress.com, Bloomgirl.com, and Sideroad.com give great tips on how one can be in pure and utter comfort while still looking professional.

How Should Fashion Foward Women Select What Colors To Wear?

2008-10-16T15:21:00.000-07:00

I believe that selecting what color to wear all depends on one's skin complexion, because not all colors look good against everyone's skin tone. People who have a more lighter color should wear bright colors such as orange, pink or baje. People who have more of a dark complexion should wear more dark colors such as brown and black. However, people who are darker can also look good in lighter colors...it juss all depends on the shade of that color. Such as orange, a darker person should wear the more pumkin looking orange rather than the tangerine looking orange. If your unsure of what colors will compliment your skin tone, seek further websites such as Fashion Trendsetter, Fashion Foward and Raulersonphotography...there is great advice there!

How can someone be fashionable on a limited budget?

2008-10-09T17:13:00.000-07:00

Looking good doesn't always require you to have to spend alot of money. Stores such as Forever 21, H&M, and Wet Seal offer the latest and trendiest apparel for a good price. H&M's jeans usually range between $30-$50, and it wouldn't be normal if Wet Seal or Forever 21 wasn't having a sale! So one can make a quick stop at H&M, purchase a pair of cute skinny jeans...then, next stop Wet Seal for a shirt to match!

How does the music you listen to affect your fashion look?

2008-09-29T17:28:00.000-07:00

Depending on what mood I'm in indicates what music i listen to. When I'm in a gloomy or depressed state of mind, i tend to listen to Keyshia Cole, whom is an r&b artist, and I dress in dark colors, such as browns and blacks.

If i am in a more energetic and happy mood, I dress in more vibrant colors, such as yellows and oranges.When I'm happy, I like to listen to fun and fast music such as Soulja Boy, a hip hop artist...he keeps me in a good mood!
