NYFW

After a super long bus ride that led us all around the tri-state area we finally made it to New York.

We opened the door of the cab and walked up the steps to the Lincoln Center we saw an array of photographers running back and forth.

As we got closer to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week building,we found ourselves in the middle of the photography swarm,everyone from the photographers to bloggers to television personalities really liked my vintage red high slit skirt with gold and black button details.

 The skirt was the main focus but the other details made the outfit unique.

I paired the skirt with a black hat,leather jacket,a 'We Want Beer" graphic tee and leopard printed peep toe T-Strap heels to complete the outfit.

Why Do Women Wear Weaves & Makeup? And Why Do Guys Hate Them So Much?

There are so many stereotypes for why women wear weaves and makeup. To boost self-confidence, to appear older, to hide imperfections are the most common. But every female doesn’t wear weave because she's bald, or wear makeup because she's insecure. Don’t get me wrong, yes there are some of us who get all wrapped up and lose ourselves, but that’s not everyone.  

Labels or Love?

Why do we let our clothes define our identity? We rely on brands, and follow trends to make us sociologically acceptable. Everyone falls victim of this to a certain extent. Of course we like to believe that we shop based on style, fit, and durability. But let's be honest, most of us could care less about how long our clothes will last. So, it raises the question, do you shop for the label or for the love? In my opinion a true fashionista can wear a vintage polka dot top that's worth nothing, with a classic A-line Badgley Mischka skirt effortlessly. While someone may have on a Gucci shirt, Luis Vuitton belt, Chanel bag, Juicy Couture jeans and look like a fool. We also sometimes make emotional connections with brands, causing you to actually "love the label". For example, I will always and forever use Dove deodorant and wear Levis jeans. I'm sure there are other deodorants that smell just as good, and may even be cheaper but I wont bother to try them. I have found a label that I love. For women, finding jeans with a perfect fit can take years. Levis does it for me. Though I do still buy other brands of jeans, Levis is always #1 on my list. The point is, style is not determined by the labels you wear. But rather how, you wear them, and how they make you feel. So the next time you're shopping think to yourself, are you selecting based on labels or love?

This weeks Take It Back Tuesday post is dedicated to my favorite fictional fashionistas of the past, that will forever inspire me.

Current Obsessions: The Introduction

Rachel Zoe

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I'm a fashion addict. Though I like to think of myself as more of a fashion "enthusiast". Constantly learning, and researching all things associated with fashion causes me to obsess over things quite often. So this will be the first of many. My most recent obsession is with fashion connoisseur Rachel Zoe. In case you live under a rock and aren't familiar with her, here is a little background info. Zoe Started out as a freelance wardrobe stylist, and made a name for herself by becoming stylist to the stars, after many years of hard work, as well as for different fashion houses, and magazines. Her work is now seen everywhere!

Ladies Is Pimps Too

"Ladies are pimps. By the term pimp, I don’t necessarily mean someone who exploits another individual for personal gain. Pimping is having all the tools needed to succeed in life. You gotta be a pimp to make it. Taking no bullshit by any means necessary. Pimps want their money on time. They want their hos in line. They want the newest and flyest shit. Pimps demand respect. Pimps exude confidence even in the most outrageous attire. I’m totally not glamorizing the life of a pimp and I’m kidding about the 'hos in line.' Nevertheless, those attributes are powerful because it shows a person’s true diligence. In any situation you always want to be the pimp, never the latter. People get pimped everyday. Everyone has been a ho or possessed ho-like qualities at least a couple of times in life. Sadly, 9 out of 10 times, the ladies are not the pimps. Ladies you need to realize that you are a pimp too and it’s okay to brush your shoulders. You have to, you got to, you need to get that dirt off your shoulder. When the next person ask me what do I aspire to become, I’m going to reply, 'a p.i.m.p.' "- Erica Freeman
