Wind and water are all around us. The two elements conjure up visions of rainy days, calm or rough seas, snow fall, ice, a blustery storm, or even a nice cool drink on a hot summer's day. Like earth tones, many find these elements more palatable to wear as opposed to the daring element of fire....

Fashion is a historical representation of the times we live in. For example, it can help illustrate how modest or free society was at a time, or can indicate a person's status in society, or can highlight revolutionary changes in the world. I always like then and now perspectives to compare and...

Fire, the next element, is one that easily stands out and above the rest. When one wears the element of fire, they do so not to blend in like earth tones, but to stand out. Fire evokes images of passion, energy, intensity, boldness, heat, and allure. The colors and shades that evoke fire are...

The elements have long been an inspiration in the fashion world even before there was a 'fashion world' to speak of. Clothing was once dyed from the natural colors found exclusively in nature, made from all natural fibers and leathers, and constructed with tools one made from bone and hair....

Traditional clothing from your country of origin or at least those of your heritage can sometimes make you feel a little old fashioned or disconnected from this century. After all, a lot of traditional outfits were constructed hundreds if not thousands of years ago during a different time...

Fall is leather season. It's a time when it starts getting cooler, and you need something a little sturdier to carry you through the season then the thin cotton of the summer months. Leather used to be something that involved animal cruelty and/or harming the environment, but now there are so...

We are a world obsessed with hair. It's something that's right in your face (literally) and that can get you noticed for better or worse. More than just an accessory, sometimes, hair can be an indicator that we are holding on to something that we need to let go of. When people are making life...

Shoulders One of my favorite movie quotes reads: "A woman’s shoulders are the front lines of her mystique, and her neck, if she’s alive, has all the mystery of a border town. A no-man’s land in that battle between the mind and the body." It's that sharp line of the clavicle, the hint of the...

It is in most of our natures to want to help a friend or family member in need, and sometimes that need involves money. We've all been there. Maybe you were a little short this week on the car payment, or unexpected tragedy happened and they need a short loan, or they need financial help for...

1. Packing Lunches Whether you are a parent of a child or a teen/young adult yourself needing to pack a lunch for school/work, it can be a tedious process, and when you're in a rush, you may not have time to sit and make a full meal. Also if you are a parent, this is an easy way to teach your...

We are quickly approaching the nearly 16th anniversary of the then super couple, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears twinning in what one can only guess was all the bolts of denim fabric they had in craft store. I mean, they say when couples have been together a while, they tend to start...

When you mention something like Mothers or Father's Day, or things like Valentine's Day, people ask...well, why do we need a day to celebrate the people we love. So here we are. You don't need a specific day, you should love and celebrate your parents all year round, but the sad part is there...

Not everyone wants to wear just one print at a time. Some like a bolder style with a lot of color and texture in their clothes or you want to try something different by mixing your patterns and prints in your wardrobe for a fresh look, but still don't want to look totally crazy doing it. 1....

Maybe it's your birthday, a wedding, a night at the club, or whatever where you know wherever you are going, you are going to be seen and to have a good time and get turn'd, lol. You're going to need a fun outfit that reflects that. This isn't the outfit you wear to church, okay, this is the...

To start off, no, I've never had plastic surgery, but that doesn't mean in the future I won't or that I think other people shouldn't if they want it. With the debate on plastic surgery, you usually have team, work with what life or God gave you, and team, if it's broken, fix it, and I of course,...

One of the absolute worst things that continues to happen in the world of fashion, is having to wear clothing with no pockets. I just came back from a shopping trip where I found a cute pair of jeans only to stick my hands in what I thought were pockets, and SURPRISE, they were these annoying...

One question for the guys: when is the last time your father or another male in your life, actually asked you to go shopping with them for clothing or vice versa? I'll hold for the long excruciating silence and eye brow raising and head scratching that I'm sure is all but happening at this...

In an interview at Milan's fashion week, Taylor Swift described her style as feminine, girly, and experimental. She is the type of person who finds something she loves and sticks with what works for her. Her early years on the red carpet were nothing if not predictable; a head full of curls and...

My great aunt just turned 90 years old and for as long as I've had the distinct pleasure of having her in my life, she has never shied away from being a stylish older woman. She revels in it. She is a woman who at 90 will still wear 4 inch heels to church, because she loves to make an entrance,...
