It's a New Year!

Out with the old and in with the new! as much as it may be difficult for people to say goodbye to 2013 i always feel its so nice to put another year behind us and reflect on what a year it has been. I'm not talking about setting up new year's resolutions, but just reflecting on the good the bad and the ugly of 2013. a chance to mend any scars or tie some loose ends and start 2014 with a fresh new outlook and look look!!! that's right people. new year new look. it's basically Xmas for fashionistas !!!!! every store is having blowout sales on everything from dresses to shoes to household goods. Its a perfect time to do a little shopping and spice up the new year. sure the new arrivals of 2014 are not on sale, but who says we need to follow every trend? its a new year, lets make it a new you. I'm tired of reading about what were supposed to look like. My resolution to myself, is to be myself!! So rather then fill the following page with what society expects you to look like i would rather keep this Blog a blank canvas, so that you can create explore and discover your new you!

Here are a few tips on where to start;

  1. your closet! that's right, when was the last time you cleaned out your closet. i'm sure there are tones of hidden treasures in there as well as ship wrecks, so start by cleaning out your closet and re-asses your fashion situation.
  2. CHANGE YOUR HAIR!!! Its time to grow some Chutzpah!!! Now I'm not saying all "stylists" are qualified for this type of transformation, but if you feel yours isn't, then maybe its time for a change there too. Ask around, ask people who you've admired for there hairstyles over the years, who they go to. a good stylist will be able to look at you and your overall life style and suggest a look that would best suit your needs. the problem with most women, is they get so comfortable with a stylist that it becomes a relationship, and like all relationships we tend to get into a comfort zone where we feel its OK to wear flannel pajamas or fart in front of each-other and pass it off as sort of sexy, we forget what its like to feel sexy or desired, but let me say, the main ingredient in your spicy dish of life is you!! you are your own chef and what you put in is what you will get out. 
  3. Hit up the trendy shops in your area, they tend to have the best selection of unique fashions. sometimes after assessing your closet situation a few good pieces is all you need to make all the difference.  
That is all for now ladies, so, let's make sure that we start the year on the right foot so when we reach the end of the year we don't feel like we landed on our faces! here's to 2014!!
