What is Wrong with a Fashionable Man?

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

These days, we see a lot more men that actually care about what they are wearing and spend their time shopping to look good. Does this mean that they are gay, or have to be included in the new term Metro-sexual, for those who are straight but have a title that says I am a man that takes more pride in how he grooms himself?
Is it fair to even give them a label?  Don’t you think women want a man who cares a little bit about how he looks and the image he portrays? Especially if we are always trying to look good and find ourselves shopping for the latest trends, shouldn’t the man whose arms we are in look good also?

Well men like Pharrell, Kanye West, Fonsworth Bentley, and Justin Timberlake have changed this stigma for men. Because of their images and the trends that they have set in fashion more men have become more conscientious about what they are putting on and keeping up with the trends themselves.

Men no longer want to look the same and all wear boring suits anymore. But they rather  stand out. Do these men need a label? Why do we consider them gay or wait for proof that says otherwise because they give more attention to their appearance?

Seeming how most women complain about how their husbands dress and find themselves trying to change their husbands you would think this change would be embraced and not looked down on. I personally like a man who looks good and shows he cares about his appearance. Whether he put the look together himself or hired a personal shopper like myself to do it, as long as he cares about his image and looks good, that is ALL matters.

So there is nothing wrong with a man who is fashionable and looks good. That’s what women should want, whether he decides to go for a preppy, edgy, or GQ look it does not matter.  When women use to see Michael Jordan in a suit they would go crazy because women thought he looked so sexy. Whether it’s a suit or polo and jeans rocked the right way that shows he has tapped into his fashionable side, I applaud every man that has the balls to do so.

What Dress Should I Wear?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Even though we wear dresses all year round, it seems that when the weather gets warmer I like to have a pleatherer of dresses to choose from in the morning. During the Spring and Summer, that’s when you make sure yoiu don’t have a hair on your leg so you are ready to show off your sey legs that God gave you.

So…..what kind of dress should you wear what do you feel like putting on? Well here are some ideas of cute styles that you can add to your wardrobe this season.

There is the Polka Dot dress that you can layer or wear it by itself. The Liberian Look is hot right now. This dress you can add some nice specs with it to give you that educational edge.

For those of us who may want to channel in the 70’s but not look like we are stuck in the 70’s and want to bring them back a nice summer dress like this one would be perfect. Give yourself that sex appeal that was invoked back then.

If you used to be a Girl Scout and miss your outfitand would like to wear it again, they have inspired some of the dresses we see this season.

We all love a Southern Belle, now we can all look like one, whether we live in the East or the West and still belong right in our own city.

If your like me and would like to go back to your roots go buy a Tribal print dress that’s not only fashionable but also shows a little of your ethnic background.

If you like flowers on your walls, in your garden, in your car, at your desk, etc. Like usual you can have them on your dress, but this style does not scream floral like most. So for those of us who do not like floral prints this is one you would not mind buying.

Many of us wish that we could fit into our smaller clothes, wear that top or dress that we used to get in but if we could just lose a couple of pounds it would be just right. Or many times we find ourselves not liking to wear something that’s more form fitting because we have too many rolls so we wear our clothes very loose (which makes us actually look bigger too). Well, you don’t have to do that anymore. Now you can wear that shirt or dress that fits a little closer to the body and have a smooth look without all the rolls and bumps and you don’t  even have to go to the gym once.

Want instant Gratification?  How does losing 2-3 inches within 10 minutes sound?  Would you like to try something that gives you back support and an hour glass figure?

If you answered “yes” to all of these questions then you should try BodyMagic.  “This garment is designed so that you can redistribute the fat cells in your own body in a short time. Keeping in mind that fat cells are movable and taking advantage of that, you can actually move them to where they are actually needed (for example: the gluteus) or eliminate them where they are in over abundance (for example: lower abdomen)” (http://buybodymagic.com/products.htm).  BodyMagic is a safe way to look and feel great, it gives confidence and full body support at the same time.  This product is offered for men and women in a range of sizes.

Top 2010 Spring Trends

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Welcome to the first blog by Style Fierce. We are dedicated to keep you update with all the trends of the current season and making sure that you look good when you apply them to your wardrobe. When you read our blog, you will leave feeling empowered and knowing more to make sure that you ALWAYS look your best when you step out of your room. Some of the trends and things we would like to leave you with are what colors, shapes, and fits are popular and how they work for you and your unique body and shape.

For example, floral is a big hit for Spring 2010. You will find floral cardigans, mini dresses, handbags and totes, floral everywhere.

Along with the floral the theme of less is more graced the runways for this season. So if you don’t want to bring attention to yourself by adding flowers to your clothes, try the less is more approach and still look fashionable and good when you step out. Donna Karan and Michael Kors to name a few have laid the foundation for a less is more look.

Okay, so you now know a couple of the trends for this upcoming spring, but what is the color for Spring 2010. Well there has been a lot of people walking around in turquoise. I actually made a dress for a young lady going to a party in NYC, it was a hit and it was the color of the season, turquoise. She was a hit and the shimmering turquoise just brought out her beauty even more as it beamed off her face. It wasn’t just the color of the season but her color for the night.

Now while you are out shopping, keep in mind the trends for Spring 2010. But don’t forget that the military style is still influencing the clothes that graced our runways. So while you’re thinking of what to buy if you see some clothes that have a military style and you fall in love, go ahead and buy it. We will salute you for being fashionably trendy.
