Fashion Blog for you!
How are you all doing? I'm going to blog about fashion today cause i have been getting some requests (and compliments-thank-you!) from my awesome female fans out there, about my style tips and how I choose my clothing for red carpets and events etc. So I'll write you some of my biggest do's and don'ts !!
Rule # 1. ALWAYS BE COMFORTABLE
My amazing agent and friend taught me this one. When I first started getting really busy and having to go to red carpets and premieres etc, I was always so nervous of what to wear! And the first and only piece of advice she told me was "just be comfortable". And it is true. Whether it be a work Christmas party, or Hollywood premiere, you must be comfortable. Forget what other people are wearing, and choose something you know you will be confident in. Express your own style. If you over do it, and feel awkward, you will look ridiculous and end up leaving early or just not having a good time. Of course be event specific though-if there is a dress code, you must follow that. But other than that, shop around for what you like and know you will rock in!
Rule # 2. NEVER FAKE IT!
This applies to oh so many things in life but I feel it is huge in fashion. Some of you won't like this. With the economy the way it is, and everyone watching their pocket books, this might hurt. But never ever wear fake designer clothing, or accessories...especially purses and handbags!! It just doesn't work. It looks so tacky and is really really obvious. No matter how good that vendor might look on the street in New York City, DON'T DO IT! It's just plain tacky. My fix? Save up and set money aside every month for the real thing. It won't take as long as you think. And they are expensive for a reason. The craftsmanship on many high end items is incredible and will last you many many seasons. My first big purchase was a gorgeous brown Balenciaga four years ago. I still have it and use it all the time. It gets better with age...just like us ladies! So it's worth it to save up. If you just can't afford it and you know it, then find other great bags and be original for crying out loud. I love the "Joe" line at Superstore in Canada. They have some great bags for super cheap. I bought a great day bag there for 34$ and it is not trying to be something it's not! Also, go to a great second hand store. Vintage is in! So much great stuff to choose from. And be proud of your inexpensive finds....at least your not being a poser with a fake Louis Vuitton!
Rule # 3. DRESS YOUR AGE FOR GOODNESS SAKE
Teens out there- go wild! Discover, explore and play! This is the time in life to find out what you like! There are no rules for you!
20's- Refine your style a little more. This is when you are getting out in the work force, so enjoy the dress pants and fun suits...then put on your party wear for going out. My only rule there? Keep it classy! Honestly, cheap looking girls are a dime a dozen. It may get you attention...but probably not from the right kind of guy....know what I mean?
30's -ok ladies...do you really think bleaching your hair and wearing pig tails to the bar looks good? I'm all for "being yourself" but seriously...don't you think it's silly? I love seeing woman in classy, classic clothing for work, and smart casual for the rest of the time. Skip the hot pink juicy couture head to toe jump suit when your picking up the kids, and go for jeans and a t-shirt. If your dressing to young and overdoing the make-up, you just date yourself. Be proud of your age and wisdom! Yay 30's
40's and up? Not sure. I'm not there yet, so I guess I'll just say, find a balance.
Rule #4 DON'T BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT!
If you are short, don't wear the platform flip flops! All that says is, I'm short and I'm trying to be tall! Sorry, but it's true. Wear and great pair of heels from time to time for sure, just don't try too hard. You can't fake your height!
If you are tall, great! Go buy a great pair of Christian Louboutin flats...yummy!
Ballet flats are sooooo cute for girls of all heights!
Ok . There you go girls! I hope you like my advice and have great shopping experiences forever!
