Fashionista Rule #2: OWN THY PASSION

Fashinistas: are aloof, sometimes nice, always happy & busy like an elusive butterfly excited about the world they are creating. A Fashionista Feels strength from deep within the heart out.... radiating seamless love.
Simply the sexiest quality of a Fashionista is; self confidence, self discipline and owning her seductive presence. She is focused on her inner passions ~ she does what she needs to do to awaken her inner being. She intoxicates others...

Do what U love, Be who U envision, Live your desires, let nothing stand in your way.
Never ever, ever settle for less... always own your beautiful feminine qualities.

Own It Sista’s ; )

If a Man Wants You

Hello My Darling Fashionistas !!

Dating is a serious undertaking, like choosing the right pair of shoes or color of lipstick for us lovely Fashionistas....
One of my many amazing Facebook friend’s shared this post on the wall a few months ago, I just couldn’t resist saving it and sharing, it’s an essential my Fashionista darlings read this thoroughly....
By: Salma Rumman
This advice was passed along to me from a counselor; it was great to hear so I wanted to share it.
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that’s not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve
then heck no, you can’t "be friends."
A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
Don’t settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don’t stay because you think "it will get better." You’ll be mad at yourself
a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant,
Why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man’s behavior. Change comes from within.
Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has
more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else’s man.
Oh Fashionistas !!!! if he cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you allow him to treat you.
All men are not dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...There is nothing cute about
baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to complete you. A relationship consists
of two whole individuals. Look for someone complimentary, not supplementary.
Dating is fun; even if he doesn’t turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes. When a man always know where you are, and you’re
always readily available to him—he takes it for granted.
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies.
You’ll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate
them, a day to love them, and an entire lifetime to forget them.

Now that your in deep thought.... Be The Amazingly Beautiful U

Fringe-0-Rama

Oooh Fashionistas....

From the age 7 ‘till now I’ve been infatuated with Fringe... YES FRINGE & TASSELS!!! Anything that swishes and swoops around the body! I have played with any fringe that ever crossed my path making it into doll clothes, adorning dresses for myself and even decorating lamps!

Ever really wondered where ...why ... and how... fringe came into being? I instantly think of Vegas Showgirls doing the Charleston don’t you? I am fascinated with fringe and started to look into its evolution and found some interesting ways it came into being…….

Back in the beginning of time (300 BC) fringe was a popular and important decorative adornment on clothing of both men and women. Some men would use the fringe of their shawls as a type of signature for contracts. Instead of using a seal to impress their mark on a clay contract, men would lay down their unique fringe.

AND another cool fact......

American Indian clothing used it for shedding rain water from their garments, as well as for decoration, ceremonial purposes, or even as an honor in battle. It also served as handy strips of leather used to sew up a busted moccasin, torn seam, or to tie things together when in the field. ? Wow – a long way from flappers and showgirls!

Then, as prohibition pushed nightlife underground to wild jazz clubs where alcohol and cocaine were the drugs of choice and the party ran all night, a new type of young girls were born - Flappers. Flapper girls wore short flashy dresses influenced by Hollywood fashions, had boyish haircuts, drank alcohol, danced to jazz dance music, smoked cigarettes, drove cars and had disdain for conventional behavior. Flapper girls represented a completely new kind of woman unimaginable before the roaring 1920s.

Today fringe is used in home décor, to embellish handbags, scarves, boots, hats and jackets as a pure fashion trend. I still love the glitzy fringe and look for it at flea markets and vintage stores when I feel like bringing out my inner Flapper!

What is your favorite fringe?
Love & Kisses
