How it all began...


Once upon a time, there was an ordinary young girl who started watching Walt Disney cartoons, got her first barbie to play dress up, was inspired by her stylish mother and by the time she was a teenager, she was in love with fashion... 






As a woman, you have some sort of undefined addiction to shopping and fashion. We get depressed, we go shopping. We are happy, we go shopping. We have a date, we go shopping. In other words, no matter what happens regardless if good or bad, shopping is an unintentional plan. Its not like we buy what we ''need'' on all these shopping tours. Its usually something totally different. Some of us with time have learned to control it and some of us are still struggling not to shop ''every- and anything'' we see. Would have been cool if doctors would actually prescribe you a shopping list instead of medications. At least it doesn't have any side effects except the bills. 

Women just need more effort into their closet as men. Men only have T-shirts, jeans, ties, belts, shirts, shoes and no matter what they wear, it doesn't necessarily look different. They are just satisfied with something to wear. Although men have become also more aware about fashion but they don't really follow up on it like us women. 

A woman's closet:
Lets start with the small things, accessories: belts, necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches, etc and hence a woman won't be satisfied wearing one item for all her outfits, so there needs to be a selection to choose from (size, color etc). Lingerie: bra (strapless, backless and so on), slips (god knows in how many colors and shapes). Sunglasses, different colors and frames are required. Every woman's favorite part --> bags and shoes!!! Of course they need to be color coordinated at many occasions... bags in different sizes/colors, from clutch to a gym bag and don't make me even start on shoes!!! Sneakers, flip flops, flats (loafers, moccasins, ballerinas etc), sandals (flat and with high heels), boots (ankle boots,  high knee, overknees etc) and last but not least HIGH HEELS (stilettos, wedge heels, T-strap, peep toes etc).
p.s. There is always a plural s since we do need more of each item and the ''s'' doesn't really indicate two, I insist on the MORE part!! :-P

Is there anyone who would NOT wish to be sitting there right now??? :-D

Now we come to the clothing part and we all know its not gonna get any better...
If we decide to wear a dress (mini, midi, maxi), its easy then, just one piece, bibbidi bobbed boo and you are dressed. Evening gowns for special occasions are very essential. 




BUT...

God bless the time that you go for trousers/jeans or skirts. Then you need something to wear on the top too, tops, t-shirts, pullovers, tunics and many more.

Lets not forget the makeup kit and nail polish in 100 different colors starting with every shade of red!!!

Women just love being the center of attention with their looks. Of course intelligence and character is also important but deep inside, every woman wants to impress the world with her looks. Many actually say women don't even dress up to be admired by men, in fact they actually go through the whole trouble of dressing up just to impress other women. Lots of women think for being stylish they have to only wear expensive and branded pieces or change their whole closet every season and JUST follow the trends. I believe there is more than that. The art of being stylish is to be able to mix and match, try out different styles and feel good in your skin. We shouldn't let our clothes define us. In fact it should be the other way around. The woman wearing the clothing piece is the one giving shape to the specific item she has on otherwise the clothes are just formless pieces on the hanger. 

Most of the women fancy the celebrities. What they actually forget is that the celebrities are glamorous and luxurious on the red carpet but on any other day, they are just ordinary women like every one of us. Well except the paparazzi part. They also get a bad hair day every once in a while. 

Let us learn how to be ourselves and enjoy it. At the end of the day, fashion is there to brighten up our days and make us feel better about ourselves. Don't be shy to wear a kick ass outfit. By the way, it doesn't mean it has to be too short or with a deep cleavage! You can be sexy as hell even in your pair of jeans with a t-shirt, as long as YOU feel great wearing them. Style up your days and have fun.

I wanna share one week of my style with you...

Of course depending on your job, you have to be dressed appropriately. For me, as someone who works in the fashion and style business, I like to always be at my best stylish look. 

Monday...

Lets start with Monday. Its start of a new week. I need to fuel enough energy for the rest of the week. Color it up baby!! The weather is a bit fresh today. I think my jeans jacket will just be enough to get me through the day. Its the summer begin, the days are longer, after work drinks are definitely needed. I have to get ready for work but I don't wanna come home later to change. I will just take my Céline bag. Its big enough so I can fit in my high heels for later. 



Tuesday...

Its a new day. This means a new outfit. A friend of mine is in town for a visit. I am free today. We could go for a walk, lunch and maybe some shopping. There is nothing more comfy than wedge heels and these gorgeous wide leg pleated trousers to get me going today. 

In the evening its time for some gossip and drinks. Am gonna change and head out with my friend. After a long day of neutral colors, am gonna fire it up a bit. Leo and red are my best friends... 


Wednesday...

What do I feel like wearing today? I have to work today. How is the weather gonna be? Hmmmm, the weather is gonna be sunny but a bit chilly today. Am not leaving the house without my sunglasses. Though am gonna keep it elegantly casual.
I have no plans after work. But am just stylish enough in case any sudden changes come up. :-D 


Thursday... 

Its gonna be sunny. I wanna keep it simple. Lets make it clear that my definition of ''simple'' is not the same as everyone else. My ''simple'' still kicks ass. ;-)


Tonight there is nothing fancy planned. Just drinks and enjoying life. My distressed jeans are well able to do the job. :-D 



Friday...

I wanna keep it casually simple during the day. I have other plans for the evening and need to go home to change for my date :-D. Am going to a fancy restaurant with my fiancé.

Chic & classy... Am ready to go...



Saturday...

Wooohoooo... WEEKEND ... I need to run some errands today. Shall I take my small bag or a bigger one? Lets get dressed quickly and get it all done. Need to head home as soon as I am done and get some rest. Its gonna be a loooonnnnggg night. 


Classic and sexy... Let the night begin... 


Sunday...

Am going for a brunch today. After a whole week on high heels, am gonna give my feet some rest today. Lets go for cosy... Denim ...


See you soon...
