FASHION OR PORN

I love fashion. I love clothes. I love editorials. But every once in a while I just don't get it. What is the purpose of showing a models boobs while only wearing a skirt? Will that make the consumer want to run out & buy that skirt b/c they hope their boobs will look the same? Or what about when a model is completely naked & only wearing shoes. I know some can argue & say that it's artistic but sometimes I just don't get it.  Enjoy.

I LOVE SHADDERS

If you haven't checked out the website Shadders I would advise that you do so.  They have beautiful photos.  Their aim is about "African Fashion, Beauty and Art. Shadders main focus is to promote the work of African Artisans, on everything from fashion shows, editorials, interviews, Events, beauty makeovers, fashion and beauty tips and many more all from an African perspective".  I absolutely love it.

THAT IS LOVELY

This photo is beautiful.  I love images like this.  It inspires me.  The colors, the head wrap, even her pose speaks to me, graceful, delicate, beautiful.

FABULOUS FOR FIVE

I love yard sales, moving sales, garage sales, etc.  Today I found a great score on this tunic for $5.00.  Great deal considering its new, never been worn, and was originally $22.80.  I think I will pair this with skinny jeans, lil booties, a long sleeve shirt, a scarf, and blazer to complete the look.  Send me photos of your awesome purchases.  Enjoy.

THAT IS LOVELY

When I first seen this photo the one thing that caught my eye was the green shoes and the matching green eyeshadow.  Oh My, how lovely they are.  The dress, the hair, the pose, and even the background is just so pretty.  I love it.  I found some great alternatives of the green shoes.  Enjoy

THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF TIGHTS

I'm glade I'm not the only one who wanted to rock bright color tights.  My dilemma was finding the right way to wear them.  Black is always safe but not as fun.  So of course I loved this photo of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing her bright teal tights with a khaki color trenched, camel lace up pumps and neutral color dress.  It doesn't scream "Look At Me" seeing her wear this look.  So now I'm inspired to purchase my bright color tights.  Maybe I'll go for hot pink or jewel toned purple.  I found this site called We Love Colors.  They offer a wide variety of tights, leggings, plus sizes, etc in over 50 colors.  The tights are only $8 with a $5 flat shipping rate (USA only check website for shipping outside USA).  If you are looking for SJP's teal color they have them available here.  Enjoy.

70'S BABE

 I love this look, from head to toe.  I wish I was living in the 70's.  Big hair, bell bottoms, platforms, and disco.  Need I say more.  Enjoy.

TRUE BEAUTY

Is this computer generated model considered picture perfect? What is beauty to me may not be beauty to you. Yes it does suck that companies feel compelled to display images of the skinnier side of beauty and not the realistic side of it, but at the end of the day it is their company. If I was a clothing designer I would have models of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities (however my passion is not to design clothing, just shopping for them). Don't be so hard on yourself ladies if you don't look like this computer generated model. The real beauty comes from the inside anyway because as we all know physical beauty fades. Enjoy.
